ResponderEliminarCongratulations!
ResponderEliminarPopeye is a very old cartoon series. I saw an episode with my mother, because she loves the old cartoon series, she tells me that they remind her of her youth.
In this series we learn to eat spinach, because it is a very healthy vegetable with many vitamins.

ResponderEliminarI had never seen a Popeye the Sailor episode but I know him. Now with this publication i saw some episodes.
ResponderEliminarI think its amazing that Popeye the Sailor have 90 years actually, and it was more educative than the actual caricatures, in this case, Popeye motivates to eat more healthy. I saw that Popeye have a new animation but the oldest are better than the new because there are element that the new Popeye hasn't, like his carasteristic pipe, that is now a whistle, and also Brutus is shaved off and Olivia isn't the girl in problems. I think the TV producers have to do cartoons like the old Popeye or like the spanish production "Erase una vez el hombre".

Sometimes, I had heard the name of "Popeye" but I dint know exactilly what it was. Now, I know that he is an old cartoon, that he taught the smallest of the house principally, to eat vegetables in a balanced diet, to have a health life. His specialty was spinach, and he is known mainly for that.
ResponderEliminarI would like that TV channels offer old cartoons like Popeye because I think that there are more funny, interested and appropriate than today's day. Also, it is nice that all family watch this type of things in TV, and grandfathers and parents remember old moments in family.

When I was younger I usually saw the episodes of Popeye the sailor on television.
ResponderEliminarI think they were very interesting and it is a pity they are not broadcast any more, because in these cartoons we learn many things as eating spinach.
I am very glad to hear that these cartoons are 90 years old and they are still remember by so many people, both young and old.
I can't remember if I saw these cartoons but my parents did I can't remember .He only became very strong when . He liked a woman and so he fought with another man for her love. in Alberto's blog I didn't understand how I could see this type of cartoons. He was really strong!!! Ivan Bustos Jimenez
ResponderEliminarWow! Popeye is 90 years old!
ResponderEliminarI love that sailor when I was a child. When I arrived to my house after the school I went faster to see Popeye in the TV While I was eating. I remember his ¨power¨ that it was eat spinach. I remember the main characters too! Olivia (Popeye's Wife), Bruto (Popeye's Enemy), Cocoliso (Popeye's Son), Pilón (Popeye's Brother in Law), etc. The main story was... Brutus try to take away Olivia to Popeye, but Popeye with his carasteristic pipe defeat Bruto and save Olivia.
I hope that there will is a remastered serie to this cartoon.
I had heard about the name Popeye, but I didn´t know what it was until I saw a few chapters of this wonderful cartoon. When I saw them l liked them a lot because this old cartoon taught principally to the smallest of the house, to eat healthier with a balanced diet which had a lot of vegetables. Spinach is the vegetable which these cartoon were most recognized.
ResponderEliminarI want that nowadays on television children can see some cartoons like Popeye which motivates them to eat healthy or educate you in other things. Besides, I think that most of today's cartoons do not help to educate, so they sometimes do the opposite.

Sometimes i had Heard he name of Popeye but i had never seen a Popeye episodio.
ResponderEliminarNow that I know who is I have seen an episode.
I think despite being so old I find it very funny, I like it more than some current cartoons. I think what they teach is more appropriate than other cartoons and they do it in a much more fun and entertaining way.
I recommend that you take a look, the chapters are not long enough and at least you can already know who is popeye.

Sometimes i had seen the serie of Popeye and i had read the comics.
ResponderEliminarI was not a big fan of that series I saw her from time to time, but when I saw i like but i preferred other serie. I think is more appropiate than other series.
I am very funny because this serie has already 90 years, although I did not see it much, I think it was a good series and I recommend it even if it is not televised.
Since childhood we have always heard the name of popeye, a person who was very strong to eat many spinach.
ResponderEliminarHe was a very famous man and his series was known to everyone.
Today it is a shame that their chapters are not shared on TV but still we are many who remember him
It is a series with more than 90 years that has been told from generation to generation and today I am very proud to meet you
