Who would have thunk that Disney would have made a film about the spinach-loving cartoon sailor, Popeye? Well, in a rare co-production with another studio (Paramount Pictures, in this case), they did! Growing up with the Popeye cartoons, I always had an affection for the characters: him, Olive Oyl, Swee’Pea, Wimpy, and Brutus (I was more familiar with the antagonist being named Brutus rather than Bluto). I never read the actual Popeye comic strip until much later in life. How does this Robert Altman-directed film hold up as an adaptation? Read on to find out!
And remember, SPOILERS AHEAD!
