Title: Popeye The Sailor: Vol. 2 coming June 2008

I'm looking forward to this:

"It was officially announced today that Popeye the Sailor Vol. 2 from Warner Home Video will be released on June 17th 2008. Bonus materials will include a documentary on the Fleischer Studios, an interview with Jack Mercer, and the complete Fleischer feature film Gulliver’s Travels (1939). I’ll reveal more information on the bonus features in a future post, closer to the release date. In the meantime, enjoy this rare title card (below), snapped with my notoriously funky cel phone camera, off a glare-filled TV screen. It’s the original opening title card to Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp, not seen since it’s initial release in 1939. This film, the third Technicolor two-reel Popeye special, and thirty other Popeye black & white classics will presented complete, uncut and beautifully restored on this landmark volume."

Apparently, Gulliver's Travels is not actually going to be part of this set. :(

Here's a listing of what is included:

If this listing is accurate, this means that this set includes only two discs, which is only half of what the first Popeye set had. Maybe it's not that big a deal, I remember listening to an NPR review of the first set in which the reviewer said that most of the good Popeye cartoons are pre-WWII.
