The original Fame movie came out in 1980, it was going to be called Hot Lunch at first.
It seems that the first movie came out in 1933 and included Betty Boop. Quite a few movies proceeded that, and the TV series started in 1960 and ended in 1961. Although The Popeye Show did appear in 2001, it depends which version you want.
