    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This film had some of its scenes shot in Tabletop. This was a process that combined 2D and 3D animation - miniature sets were built on a stage, then the characters were then animated and superimposed over this background, so that various objects could pass in front/behind them. This created an impression of depth and quality to the viewer.
    • Goofs
      After Sindbad sings to Popeye the line "Who's the most remarkable, extraordinary fellow?", the animals respond "You!", and you can then see some of them mouthing "Sindbad the Sailor", but that line is not heard. This happens again on the very next verse.
    • Quotes

      Popeye: [singing] I'm Popeye the Sailor Man, Popeye the Sailor Man / I'm strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach / I'm Popeye the Sailor Man! / I'm one tough gazookus, which hates all palookas / But takes on the up and square / I biffs 'em and boffs 'em , and always out-ruffs 'em / But none of them gets nowhere! / If anyone messes to risk, me fisk / It's bop and it's wham, understand? / So keep good behavior, that's your one lifesaver / with Popeye the Sailor Man! / I'm Popeye the Sailor Man, Popeye the Sailor Man / I'm strong to the finich, cause I eats me spinach / I'm Popeye the Swab-Wailor Man!

    Dazzling early animation feat still entertaining
    Using the Fleischer Brothers' special 3-d backgrounds, Paramount's "Sindbad" is an impressive animation feat, as well as an entertaining and funny cartoon. It has made virtually every "greatest cartoon" list, with no apologies.
