Associated Artists Productions
Quote:A.A.P. was the company that purchased the rights to the Paramount theatrical Popeye cartoons and the pre-1948 color Warner Bros. cartoons, to sell them to television in the 1950s. While most of these packages were sold to local TV stations, arrangements were also made with different companies and ad agencies to sponsor the programs on a regional or national basis.

That explains why there's a new popeye cartoon... It's in 3-D! But a bit dull now though. I need me spinach.
