An absolute waste of money

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This is not a bad cartoon series, featuring Popeye the Sailor, who woos the skinny Olive Oyl while battling it out with his nemesis, Brutus. Definitely a cartoon that has dragged through the test of times, but a classic and somewhat funny one for the kids to enjoy. It makes eating spinach a delicacy.Grade B-

Remember trying to be like the Popeye character by eating spinach but threw up afterwords but that is another story.But still the sailor originally in the "Thimble Theater" comics was a minor character until the nation really loved him as he became the star finally.As he battled everyday villains, in particular Bluto/Brutus who was the rival for his love, Olive Oil.Also he was like a dad to the toddler who spoke and was smarter than you thought, Sweet Pea.Wished that kids in this generation would love stuff like Popeye. It did not take themselves seriously. With both wit and charm. Strong to the finish as Popeye ate his spinach to defeat the bad guys!

Popeye, the Sailor Man, was one of the first cartoons that I remember watching in both black and white and color before I would go to school in the morning. I remember his love, Olive Oil, and the characters like the baby, the man who will you Tuesday for a Hamburger today, his rival for Olive Oyl's affections, and so on. Popeye always became strong once he ate his spinach and his muscles rippled in his shirt. He became a powerhouse and defended his honor and his girlfriend. Anyway, the silliness of Popeye was outweighed by his decency, his character, and the story lines. They would be repetitive but I don't think I ever stopped watching the show on purpose. But it was always a joy to wake up and watch Popeye before tackling kindergarten class where you needed the courage to get through the day.

In 1960, at the height of the original Popeye cartoons popularity in syndication, King Features Syndicate, who owned the rights to the character produced 220 additional cartoons for TV. Since the syndicate had no studio, they farmed out the animation to five studios, with almost half of the produced by Jack Kinney. Unfortunately, the shows suffered from inconsistency, repetitive plots, weak gags and hurried animation. On the bright side, the voicework of Jack Mercer, Mae Questel and Jackson Beck was outstanding and viewers got to see characters that never turned up in the original cartoons, including Alice the Goon, King Blozo, Eugene the Jeep and the Sea Hag. One of the cartoons I remember was when Popeye was in a rocket for 60 days and he had a tape recorder where he can hear his friends. The best remembered line was when Brutus said "I'm keeping company with poor lonesome Olive HA HA HA HA HA!!" There was also the testimonial dinner episode which showed flashbacks from previous cartoons. After watching a number of cartoons, you'll probably get tired of hearing Olive scream "Help! Popeye! Save me! That's all we can stands and we can't stands no more.
