Popeye (DVD) Based on the long-running comic strip created by E.C. Segar (and less on the animated cartoons created by Max Fleischer, which were decidedly di fferent in tone and approach), Popeye follows the sailor man with the mi ghty arms (played by Robin Williams in his first major film role) as he arrives in the seaside community of Sweethaven in search of his long-lo st father. Popeye meets and quickly f alls for the slender Olive Oyl (Sh elley Duvall, in the role she was born to play), but Olive's hand has al ready been promised to the hulking Bluto (Paul Smith), of whom Olive ca n say little except, well, he's large. Eventually, Popeye and Olive are brought togethe r by Swee' Pea (Wesley Ivan Hurt), an adorable foundling , and Popeye finally meets his dad, Poopdeck Pappy (Ray Walston). Direct or R obert Altman in no way tempered his trademark style for this big-bu dget family opus, crowding the screen with a variety of character s and allowing his cast to overlap as much dialogue as they want. Review: Best movie with Robin Williams - Popeye the musical is one of the best movies with Robin Williams (RIP). It’s a great one to fall asleep to. Review: Fun movie! - Still one of my husbands favs!

My grandkids can enjoy my childhood favorite
Nostalgic. I remember my dad took my brother and I to see this when it came out in the theater. I laughed today as I did as a kid. I can’t wait to watch it again. I love it! The picture quality is great, you can’t tell this was made in the early 80’s.

THE BEST ROBIN WILLIAMS I HAVE SEEN..
I am not a Robins Williams fan, but in the case of this motion picture, I think he was outstanding. Not only did he play the original Popeye extremely well, but he even looks like him..Arf, Arf, Arf. Here he is looking for his Pappy and comes to the villiage of Sweet Haven (gorgeous set, brilliant!!) to hunt him down. Blutto has got the town terrified of him and does not like Popeye interfering with his scam. Anyhow, he plans to marry Olive Oyl who really doesn't want to marry him and was planning to run away. Both these characters (and Blutto) look like they were lifted right out of a Max Fleischer cartoon of the 1940s. I am not much of a musical movie fan but this one has some great songs and very funny moments. All the classic characters are there including Wimpy. It seems Blutto has kidnapped Popeye's Pappy though I am not sure why; but it makes for some fun (lots!). Then theres Sweet Pea. In the 1950s Paramount would seize the rights to Popeye and put out some awful cartoons that were totally boring and re-cycled the same plot in every short. Remember Casper the Friendly Ghost; same thing. But this film keeps the original ideas alive, at least for a couple of hours. Five stars for this one. I got this from Amazon. I am one of the few people who have still a laser disc player with a number of Laserdiscs. Popeye is one of those though I rarely use the machine anymore. Enjoy
