"Me too! Well, here is another one. Sigh...If you are a Popeye fan, chances are you already own these cartoons, probably more than one version. As with most Popeye releases, this DVD has no particular restoration or special features.None of these are particularly standout Popeye cartoons, coming from Famous Studios' "cheap gag" era. The "& Friends" part is from the inclusion of a Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon and a Foghorn Leghorn cartoon. These are not "Popeye meets..." cartoons, but entirely separate.On this DVD are.Spooky Swabs
Patriotic Popeye
Spree Lunch
Nearlyweds
Ancient Fistory
Taxi-Turvy
Popeye For President
Assault and Flattery
Fright to the Finish
Bride and Gloom
Gopher Spinach
Growing Pains (starring Foghorn Leghorn)
Fright From Wrong (starring Casper the Friendly Ghost)"
