@eyeh8nbc Believe it or not there is at least one AAP version of a Popeye cartoon on Youtube that I know of that does NOT jump in the theme tune!! Unfortunately the name doesn't spring to mind right now
It was U.M.&M. TV Corp. who bought the pre-1950 Paramount cartoon library in 1955, 'Home' (they became National Telefilm Associates in 1956); Harvey Comics bought the post-'50 library in 1959 (as well as perpetual rights to all Paramount cartoon characters, as they were featured in Harvey comic books), forming Harvey Films to distribute them, renaming the entire package "Harveytoons", and initially featuring them on ABC's "MATTY'S FUNDAY FUNNIES".
@fromthesidelines This was done outside of NTA and UM&M who bought the pre-50 Paramount cartoons including the Flesicher and Famous cartoons as well as the Noveltoons, Screen Songs and Color Classics. By the 1960's Harvey Films bought the post-50 Paramount cartoons as well, but not Popeye. Popeye was under AAP. By that time, AAP was sold by United Artists by 1959 to distribute the Popeye cartoons.
@jpongsin2002 Yes in the original cinematic version it did LOL

@eyeh8nbc And the Merrie Melodies theme being played through twice over on AAP prints of Warner Bros cartoons annoys me!!

That splice with the jump in the music always annoyed the hell out of me.

Paramount Pictures Cartoon Replaced AAP

actually it was pre-1950 features - but the color cartoons only ran through 7/48, while live-action shorts ran through 8/48
they also bought the Harman/Ising Merrie Melodies except for the first one (Lady Play Your Mandolin)
Whatever B&W cartoons a.a.p. didn't buy went to Sunset Productions (which in turn was absorbed by Guild)
