A two-reel cartoon short, it was produced in Technicolor and released to theaters on November 26, 1937 by Paramount Pictures. It was produced by Max Fleischer for Fleischer Studios, Inc. and directed by Dave Fleischer. Williard Bowsky was head animator, with musical supervision by Sammy Timberg. The voice of Popeye is performed by Jack Mercer, with Mae Questel as Olive Oyl and Gus Wickie as Abu Hassan (actually Bluto, in one of his various incarnations to oppose Popeye). It should also be noted that Popeye here appears to have enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard, having yet to enlist in the Navy, as he would in the 1941 Fleischer short The Mighty Navy.

- After the runaway success of the first Popeye the Sailor color two-reeler, Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor, it was only natural that Fleischer Studios decide to immediately make a follow-up in 1937, Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves. The short begins with the villain of the picture, Abu Hassan (yet another blatant Expy of Bluto) and his gang of thieves riding through the desert (represented with an impressively made 3-D model set, not unlike those employed in Sindbad) as Abu sings the opening Villain Song.

- After the runaway success of the first Popeye the Sailor color two-reeler, Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor, it was only natural that Fleischer Studios decide to immediately make a follow-up in 1937, Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves. The short begins with the villain of the picture, Abu Hassan (yet another blatant Expy of Bluto) and his gang of thieves riding through the desert (represented with an impressively made 3-D model set, not unlike those employed in Sindbad) as Abu sings the opening Villain Song. The film then cuts away to Popeye, Olive Oyl and Wimpy, who are just minding their business, waiting for work, when they receive an emergency signal that Abu Hassan and his thieves are attacking a desert town. They quickly make it there in Popeye's flying boat, only for it to malfunction and crash land in the middle of the desert. After a night and morning of long walking, mirages and dreadful heat, they finally reach a desert town, where they settle down and have a meal. Cue Abu Hassan and his thieves showing up to ransack the town, prompting the wrath of Popeye as they kidnap Olive Oyl and Wimpy. Popeye chases them down into the Cave of Wonders, where the real fighting begins! This short has fallen into the Public Domain, and can be watched on YouTube here, in two parts. This short is also a runner-up on The 50 Greatest Cartoons list. Due to the success of this second two-reeler, a third and final Popeye Color Special, Aladdin And His Wonderful Lamp, would be made soon after.
