The Island Fling
This is a list of the 122 cartoons of the ''Popeye the Sailor'' film series produced by Paramount Pictures' Famous Studios (later known as Paramount Cartoon Studios) from 1942 to 1957, with 14 in black and white and 108 in color. These cartoons were produced after Paramount took ownership of Fleischer Studios, which originated the ''Popeye'' cartoon series in 1933. All cartoons are one-reel in length (6 to 10 minutes). The first 14 shorts (''You're a Sap, Mr. Jap'' through ''Cartoons Ain't Human'') are in black-and-white. All remaining cartoons, beginning with ''Her Honor the Mare'', are in color. Unlike the Fleischer Studios shorts, the director credits for these shorts represent the actual director in charge of that short's production. The first animator credited handled the animation direction. The numbers listed next to each cartoon continue the numbering of the Fleischer entries.

The plotlines in the animated cartoons tended to be simpler than those presented in the comic strips, and the characters slightly different. A villain, usually Bluto, makes a move on Popeye's "sweetie," Olive Oyl. The villain clobbers Popeye until he eats spinach, giving him superhuman strength.

The Fleischer cartoons, based in New York City, proved to be among the most popular of the 1930s, and would remain a staple of Paramount's release schedule for nearly 25 years. Paramount would take control of the studio in 1941 and rename it Famous Studios, ousting the Fleischer brothers and continuing production. The theatrical ''Popeye'' cartoon ...
