Your post here made me hunt down the "Popeye Meets Sindbad" and "Popeye as Aladdin" cartoons, which I hadn't seen in years.
And the Sindbad one has 3 distinct parts that use that stereo-optical process, first where Sindbad is walking around his island, then the takeoff of the roc, then Popeye in the dark cave.
Then I watched the Popeye as Aladdin one, and was startled to find I couldn't find any use of the stereo-optical process. I must have missed it, I thought, so I watched it again. Nope. Still a good cartoon, of course.
Then I came back here to reread your post and noticed you didn't say Aladdin, you said Ali Baba! D'oh!
