The legendary sailors Popeye and Sindbad (strangely not the more common spelling Sinbad) do battle to see which one is the greatest.
Popeye cartoons have never been anything special. This one looks great, and is better than average. The use of Technicolor gives Popeye -- and especially the backgrounds -- a rich look they do not usually have. But beyond that, there is still no real story other than the usual Popeye versus Bluto (this time as Sindbad).
Producer and special effects artist Ray Harryhausen stated in his Fantasy Film Scrapbook that "Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor" was a major influence on his production of "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad". That is quite a thing to say. What was the influence? Perhaps the colors?
