It's not surround sound encoded either - its just plain stereo. Popeye used the VistaSonic system in theaters and it didn't translate to home video like Dolby Stereo. Popeye on DVD is fantastic though - beautiful widescreen and excellent surround sound. |

And it's actually rather rare - Paramount didn't press many since it was such a dud in the theaters. And it never got a repressing after its original 82 disc release. Now, I'd you are talking about the DVD, Paramount did a wonderful job. Trivia note - the VistaSonic sound format that Popeye and Dragonslayer used theatrically was invented by Terry Beard, the inventor of the theatrical DTS-6 digital sound system. |
