[[Ted Turner]] later bought the rights to Popeye along with [[Looney Tunes]] and [[Merrie Melodies]] and started showing them on [[Cartoon Network]]. Turner sent the cartoons to [[South Korea]], where the cartoons were retraced into color, therefore making them more marketable in the age of color television. However, because of this process, the resulting cartoons are very sloppily colored and lack the smooth animation and groundbreaking backgrounds of the originals.
