This small trailer looks like the best Popeye movie that could ever be.

Looks promising.

Best thing about a fan film project. No executives can interfere with it.

Popeye lost his eye to Alice the Goon!BRILLIANT!!

[@princebloodgrave8097]

[@bluestripetiger]

Popeye needs to have a huge jaw--love the Goon costumes (called "ape men" in this trailer). Capt Pistola looks pretty cool as a villain.

[@christopherjahn2044]

Definitely a high point.

[@stormpusztay610]

A Popeye movie we deserve 👍👍👍😎

[@WildmantheDarkNut]

PLEASE! let it come out soon! I'm still ticked about Sony and what they did. If this comes out it'll be a dream come true!

[@RAM_845]

What happened to the OG characters? Bluto, Olive Oil?

[@VALENTINEproductions]

This story takes place before Popeye meets them... but, if you play close attention, you do see one of them in this trailer.

[@thomasschwartzman4327]

@@VALENTINEproductions Thats also a young/older Poopdeck if im not mistaken? Also Alice the Goon. Castor Oyl at the very beginning. This trailer alone has so much throw back to the original comic strips.

[@VALENTINEproductions]

@@thomasschwartzman4327 Yes.

[@Kiernan5]

I'm guessing at the 2:55 mark that we are partially seeing Bluto, since Popeye is looking up at him. It seems too tall to be Captain Pistola, who doesn't strike me as being that big.

[@Optimalillusion]

Will the Wiffle Bird be mentioned?

[@bruceflashback3877]

I have the same feeling about this as I have about what Riverdale did with Archie. When you make it too serious and modernized you take too much away from what made the franchise. But I am a 72 year old man and realize not only is not everything aimed at my demographic, but also less and less is aimed at my demographic.

[@VALENTINEproductions]

Understandable. This is just a fan film. I'm a huge Popeye fan but everything doesn't always need to be the same. The comics which came first, were different than the cartoons. The cartoons were formulaic and stuck to what worked for them. These characters are 100 years old, theres enough room for different interpretations, different kinds of storytelling with them.

[@thomasschwartzman4327]

WAIT A MINUTE!!! Was the pirate Pistola's look based on Sinbad the Sailor from the old Popeye movie? THAT'S GENIUS!

[@VALENTINEproductions]

Appreciate that.

Omg that actor playing Popeye is MEOW!!! ❤

My only complaint is that Popeye did not say 'Ja think I'm a cowboy' to Castor.

My favorite complaint. It's in the movie, just not here in the trailer.

I loved Popeye growing up, as did most kids from my generation. This looks like it only needs about $200 million dollars and you could have something.

If only.

Hopefully there are updates. The small budget films are normally the best.

[@cartoontalesans1977]

😢 it's.... it's beautiful.

[@jeffreyhouchins9319]

Thank you that it's not a musical. Robin Williams portrayal of Popeye was brilliant but that movie was painful to sit thru as a teen.

[@fanofallmetal]

The Popeye stance at 1:40. Awesome.

[@VALENTINEproductions]

Great EYE! There's more of it in the actual movie.

[@jordanvalencia9597]

It's interesting how you used a variation of the storyline of the version first popeye story in Thimble Theater comic strip involving a visit to an Island to look for treasure. you did deviate, but for good reason, i give you major props on doing your research for fanfilm.

[@wideawake5630]

What an original take! Can't wait. The Williams-Duvall version was brilliant.

[@BradHollowniczky]

It's good to see so much inspiration from the original Segar strips, but it seems a bit too dark and brooding in tone. However wild the action and thrilling the adventures Popeye was always a wry and extremely funny strip.

[@VALENTINEproductions]

Thanks, I agree. Segar himself stated that comedy comes from the seriousness of the characters. There is humor in this, but this Popeye isn't a 70 yr old man. He's younger and he's been alone pretty much his whole life.

[@MrBracey100]

Including the Goon was genius! Just shows you really know your Popeye lore. The modern take is pretty interesting. I definitely want to see more.

[@olbakerman1672]

Your a poet and didn't know it. And maybe you did. Great comment 👍

[@CaptGage]

So he met Castor before he met Olive?? Castor must have introduced the two of them eventually.

[@koolpopjones6499]

Robin Williams and the previous 1980 cast would approve this

[@squirrel-1969]

Awesome job! Love the way the characters are cast and look! Especially the goon, not many would recognize it from the old cartoons.

[@mrg466]

I didn't, until you mentioned it.

[@VALENTINEproductions]

I appreciate that! The Goon's costume was hand made by me. I wanted to give it a real world feel and tactility. The other characters were my design also and just tried to give them modern day updates.

[@toniswedberg]

I did recognize the Goon.

popeye vs 1punch man 😮

[@thomasschwartzman4327]

For a fan film, this looks very ambitious! Nice to see you guys taking a different approach and not just making it cartoony like the Robin Williams movie. This feels more like the original comic strips from Segar, the adventure/mystery aspects, also including the obvious nod to some satire aswell. Seeing the origins of Popeye is refreshing. Great job on this! Cant wait to see the rest.

[@patrickmclaughlin6924]

I read that as "obvious nod to some Sartre as well" and...its not wrong

A dramatic Spinach fanfare in the Winston Sharples style as it was in the early color Famous Studios cartoons. With Sammy Timberg songs included! Full orchestra going ballistic!!

[@palmstring1]

1. I can't tell at the trailer's start whether the pregnant woman is Olive Oyl with the kid in the familiar maroon pajama. 2. The movie exudes a soft-touched One Piece-like atmosphere. 3. It appears that the hero doesn’t need spinach to boost his strength this time.

[@VALENTINEproductions]

1. No 2. Never seen one piece. 3. He's always been strong to the finish.

And Popeyes father

[@iampumaa]

He has always called him PAPPY. Love the actor for Popeye. Only thing I got to say is Popeye never called his Dad "father". He called him PAPPY I would change that. Everything else is awesome

[@VALENTINEproductions]

Glad you like it. Popeye is explaining to this stranger (who's at least 25 yrs old) that his parent disappeared from his life. It's to signify this is modern day. People aren't really walking around calling their parents Mammy and Pappy these days. Especially not in America. Pappy is used as more of a nickname than a term used as his father in this project.

[@henrymerino6821]

Not sure, but a bit curious. Never thought I'd see the adventures of Popeye in today's world.

[@DNOstalgia]

Wowser, this and the other teaser trailer and the short are absolutely fantastic! I am huge Popeye fan and this was awesome. Thank you, well done and good luck! 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@mikewarren5004]

I'll check it out, but I will always be a fan of the 1980 film with Robin Williams.

[@comicart1st]

Keep it coming.

[@ConstantXplorer]

It'd be interesting to see how someone would reimagine Popeye in the modern since.

[@beckygarry1200]

For once…,.someone with some imagination!!!!👏👏👏👏 not sure how well it is but I’d watch it to see!!

[@vicious-pi3rd]

He's in Goon island.

[@scottskidmore8976]

OMG he's fighting Alice the Goon. Popeye was based on an actual person.

[@spacecowboy8532]

It's decent. The camera angles need to be worked out a bit better but at least I can see the concept in the shots. And I didn't know what to think of the timeline setting, it was all over the place. It looked modern at first then went pirates of the caribbean era with a sudden appearance of steampunk. Anyways, needless to say I was hooked all the way through. Good work.

[@VALENTINEproductions]

Takes place in modern day, but also about 35 years ago. The pirates were designed as throw backs to keep that feel that comes with Popeye.

[@anthonyperdue3557]

😎Thimble Theatre like The Provincetown Players are about to experience the epitome of their existence : Popeye and Eugene O'Neill ! EC Segar would definitely regard you as a blood relative and true successor to his vision!

[@eduardo_corrochio]

It's like they took the classic cartoon creation and substituted normal looking, modern type people for the characters. Very curious.

[@omni201]

This looks awesome. I hope you guys make it all the way.

[@christopher1884john]

I got a good old chuckle out of this 😂👍

[@ghoulschoolfan80s35]

The guy playing Popeye has a very interesting Popeye voice. It reminds me of Robin Williams' Popeye voice but with more of a rugged Backstreet Brawler/Film Noir Detective kind of tone

[@VALENTINEproductions]

Thank you for noticing, I appreciate that!

Please, for God's sake, tell me this is a true movie and not satire. We've needed a good Popeye movie for years.

[@VALENTINEproductions]

This is a real fan film that will be released later this year.

[@noscwoh1]

You sir are a modern day Thimble Theatre. Is this the first step into a new universe?

[@VALENTINEproductions]

Thats kinda the idea. It's a production made like Thimble Theater. Bare bones, no budget, a cast of characters acting out a a story with a bit of satire but also introducing Popeye as a younger man on his own adventure. It's an introduction into his world that would lead to another film where we get to see all the other characters most people know. We'll see what happens though.

Because "Man" was never part of his name in the strips. Man came after when they created the song for the cartoons.

[@voidstarq]

@@VALENTINEproductions Technically correct, but the song is what most of us associate so deeply with him... Okay, I guess it's not that big a deal. And I *am* interested.
