The earliest, "Riot In Rhythm," was not a word-for-word, shot-for-shot recreation, but does feature the same type of plot and some animation recycled from "Me Musical Nephews". You may also notice the music and voices are different if you listen carefully. The later version, the one you probably witnessed on Boomerang, the same one used in the bumper as well, comes from the late 80s. While Ted Turner was in the midst of computer colorizing black and white films, he apparently was too cheap to do the same for cartoons at the time, so when he got a hold of the Popeye library, the cartoons were sent to Korean animators for them to trace over (lazily) and color each cel and background of the original, which proved to be a downgrade especially in the Fleischer Studios Popeyes that had rotating model backgrounds; in the color versions they are reduced to still paintings, which also causes some errors in timing. But I digress, the point is this late 80s colorization, done for TV, whereas "Riot In Rhythm" was done for theaters, was exactly the same as "Me Musical Nephews," from the titles to the soundtrack. The obvious difference is that the black and white version has more detailed animation.Deehttp://dee-has-a.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
