Sony to produce CG 3D Popeye feature
March 23, 2010 9:30 am
Once again we take note of a new Popeye project, again in CG, and for the second time in his career - in 3D. Variety is reporting on Sony’s plans to bring the Segar comic strip classic to theatres in a big screen adventure. Avi Arad (Spider-Man) is producing and writer Mike Jones is creating a screenplay. Popeye will be made by Sony Pictures Animation, with Sony Pictures ImageWorks handling the CG. We cannot predict when this film will come out, but hopefully it will push Warner Home Video into restoring the rest of their Popeye cartoon library for DVD, perhaps persuade Cartoon Network will revive The Popeye Show, and maybe inspire Warner Bros. to attach the 1954 Popeye The Ace Of Space 3D animated short to one of their upcoming 3D features.
Ugh, reminds me of that horrid tv special from the past decade... 8-P

What do you mean "another" one? Last one I recall was the 1980 live action with Robin Williams, which I really enjoyed.

Me too - it was one of the first trips to the cinema I remember. I would've only been 4 or 5 yrs old.

On a 1980 episode of 'Mork & Mindy', Mork (Robin Williams) says to his little friend Leroy: "If you be good, i'll take you again to see Popeye" lol

Not exactly a feature film, but perhaps the greatest Popeye theatrical short ever! 8) :D
1936 Academy Award nominated cartoon "Popeye the Sailor meets Sinbad the Sailor":
Ranked as the 17th Greatest Cartoon of All Time by animators and animation historians in 1994. (#1 being "What's Opera Doc?")
Also a first of a trilogy of epic two-reel Popeye cartoons from the 1930's done in Technicolor by the Fleischers studios.
