The BD-R of the Betty Boop and Popeye special set came in the mail yesterday. I am happy to see there are no duplications of Betty Boop cartoons compared to the Olive BDs. But the Popeye cartoons "Plumbing is a Pipe" and "Little Swee Pea" -- and, I expect, others I haven't watched yet -- are so dark and glaring that, in spite of the superior resolution, the versions in the Warner Brothers DVD set show much better detail and texture, and are more enjoyable viewing. I'm afraid this set is both a hit and a miss.
