POPEYE Goes 3D
One of the first comic strips to be adapted into animation and film is getting another go-round according to today's Variety.
'Popeye', which debuted in1929 as part of Elzie Crisler Segar's Thimble Theater strip for King Features, is set to return to the big screen as a CGI animated feature for Sony Pictures. Newcomer Mike Jones is in negotiations to write the script.
Former Marvel topper Avi Arad is producing. Sony Pictures Animation is making the film with Sony Pictures ImageWorks handling the CG.
Although the spinach eating sailor had a recent foray into CG animation with 2004's direct-to-video 'Popeye's Voyage', he hasn't been seen in movie theaters since 1980's live-action movie starring Robin Williams.
Arad and Jones both profess to be huge fans of the character.
Well Blow Me .. . . . .. . . . . . .. .............. Down

A CGI Popeye film's been done Being the Popeye mark that I am; I have this. it's bad. Very, very bad. Not even Billy West as the voice of Popeye can save it. |

Billy West as Popeye > Maurice LaMarche as Popeye...and both are usually great mimics.
It also doesn't help that Mo was Popeye on....Popeye and Son (that and the Hanna-Barbera Popeyes were the real low point of Popeye's existence...Popeye and Bluto can't fist fight? Really? I like the KFS shorts more than those!!!!)
Anyway between this and the Yogi Bear CG movie, John Kricfalusi must be ready to leave the country/continent at this point...

You tell me that Bluto doesn't look like he is gonna swerve and turn on the baby faces in that picture  Why is he even in THAT picture with them? Was there a story on Smackdown covering this? |
