I just recently realized that all of the three longer, color Popeye cartoons from Fleischer Studios in the mid-1930's feature a story line associated with the Tales of a Thousand and One Arabian Nights: Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves, Aladdin and His Wonderful Lamp, and this short. Sinbad does not look that Arabian in this version, but the Roc, a giant bird that carries Sinbad to safety in the same Arabian Nights story, makes an appearance. From 1936 and the Internet Archive, here is Popeye Meets Sinbad the Sailor.
