I never understood the hate for the live action movie. What more could you want? The actors WERE the characters. To a one they were the absolute embodiment of the characters. Williams pulls off the performance of a lifetime. The visual design is jaw dropping, somehow making it actually LOOK like the cartoon. Yeah, the story is a little weak, but I mean, the cartoons were about "sailor man eats spinach, sailor man beats up bully", so any story at all is a step beyond. Maybe the critics could just look at Popeye's personal motto. I yam what I yam. This looks like it would have been cool, though. Maybe not as a giant budget theatrical release, but certainly for something like Netflix. I'd have watched it for sure.

[@middlethenerd]

In my opinion Popeye just doesn't work super well in live action but for what it is it's not bad

[@rrsaga]

I loved the live action movie over this. Character depth was a lot more involved in the 82 film, I think the biggest turn off was the music honestly. It didn’t need to be a musical. Yeah, they were trying back then with Xanadu, Pennies from Heaven, Grease 2, and Annie but you notice? Those smokiest ALL bombed. Musicals were done by then.

I don’t think you can write Popeye off as a relic of the past. I was born in the ‘90s. There was ZERO new and shiny Popeye stuff for me to watch in a modern style. And yet, Popeye was always my favorite cartoon as a kid watching him on Boomerang. If I remember correctly, that was the Famous Studios ones that I was watching - definitely older than the ‘60s Hanna-Barbera style, but they were in color. So, my point being, that if I was a kid who was 60 years removed from the cultural context and still loved those old Popeye shorts, then the same could happen today if you just put the character in front of kids. That 3D proof of concept short would absolutely pass with kids today I think. If you want to see similar projects, you’ve got Scoob! and Tom & Jerry, so that’s what you’re competing with

[@isaiahwilliams2642]

Classic Cartoon characters like Popeye and Betty Boop deserve so much more than they're getting these days. The fact that both were so close to getting their own animated movies made but failing right before the finish line is so sad. People love these characters, and more kids would too if they were given proper exposure, beyond memes and clips trending on Twitter, through projects made by people like Genndy who respect them and their place in animation history. Maybe one day they'll get their ideal movies finally made, but with how the industry has shifted towards superheroes and cinematic universes, I don't see that anytime soon.

[@SlapstickGenius23]

Fair enough. Even many older Japanese franchises, which mostly stay only in Japan, do deserve some international love as well.

[@mightyfilm]

Betty Boop is a strange case. She never went away, but only as chintzy, retro merchandising. She also suffered a lost movie in the 80's or 90's, but she did have an obscurish 80's TV special. I believe the most recent project was a comic book series from Dynamite from a few years back. Popeye's problem is similar, but he's just had more of a go with more frequent, more accessible reruns. I don't recall seeing any Betty Boop programming blocks, and her cartoons seemed to fade with the 30's, unlike Popeye's big 50's/60's revival short for television. And he would get like 2 more cartoon series after that. We just don't see much of him lately because there aren't too many places to find his shorts outside of KZbin.

[@BlackCroft666]

for anybody who doesn't know, "chip butty" is a british slang term for a sandwich consisting of two slices of buttered (hence the "butty" part) bread, and chips (fries/maybe steak fries for USians) in the middle. chip butties are usually looked down upon because they're a quick, cheap and usually greasy food (since in my experience chip butties are usually made with takeaway (takeout in US english) chips, which are usually very greasy) and are associated with the lower class (in a negative way, because rampant english classism y'know). btw, sandwiches in britain (or at least england) are usually made by buttering the bread first (unless it's made with something spreadable like jam (jelly in US english), or if it's store-bought). just thought it was interesting that such a channel name was connected to the animatic.

[@DrawtoonzStudio]

This all just makes me think...how many animated movies, existing only in animatic form, are there out there that have just never been released to the public? And I don't just mean cancelled films, but also earlier versions of movies that have been completed and released. This animatic was finished in 2013, and like you said, it may very well have been completely different by the time the film got canned. Animated films often change _a lot_ during production, so it wouldn't surprise me if there was an entire world of "animatic movies" that nobody even knows about.

[@SpamorammA]

I still have that movie saved on my pc, theres something that feels so special about owning it, its hard to describe in a way that doesnt sound dumb but it feels personal in a way, you know? I honestly prefer it incomplete as well, it adds to the personal nature of it, it feels like something special to be savored together instead on just another 3d animated movie that gets mixed reviews from people who are only watching to review it.

Dude I would’ve still watched this movie

Genndy Tartarkovky's Popeye movie is dead but last I heard King Features are still trying to get a Popeye film off the ground.

I remember Popeye and sly Cooper trailers and then all of a sudden there was nothing

[@captaincomedian6320]

This movie would've needed a bit of work to bring up to snuff. Characterization is all wrong in many cases and things like the talking animals would have to be removed to create a genuine "Popeye" vibe. And yet again Popeye is searching for his long-lost dad. Why does this have to be the plot of every Popeye movie?

It’s all about the Ashcan Merchandising Clause.

Fuck, this just looks like a damn masterpiece! What the hell?! I am renewed in my anger in this cancellation >:/

[@katt-the-pig]

Given how old the animatic is, I have to wonder if further versions were improved, or if the movie started falling apart. The live-action Super Mario Bros. movie had various rewrites that left it in its current state. Was this movie suffering similar issues?

WB needs to tighten up

[@belasco2]

Genndy never worked on Batman: The Animated Series. Where’d you get that from? Sheesh. “Journalism” is dead. Also the animatic is just the start of the process. Most final movies vary greatly from the animatic.

Sony canceled Pop Eye for the Emoji Movie. Let that sink in.

[@demoncarno9543]

it would be awesome if you could make a video abt the cancelled/lost escape from jurassic park pitch trailer

[@demoncarno9543]

also there is people confirmed to have the file of the trailer back in 2021, it's only a matter of time before they release it

Fun fact- spinach is 1920’s sailor slag for cannabis.

I love Popeye. 💜🌊🏝🦀🦐🦈🏖 🦑🐙 God bless whoever leaked the Popeye animatic. And I hope they never get discovered by fascist Sony. That was the best thing that's ever happened this year.

are you going to make a video about the found Shrek test footage
