		Popeye has been credited with persuading millions of children to be "strong to the finish" by eating their spinach.
		Popeye's longevity and universal popularity can be attributed to his strong, clearly defined personality and a sense of ethics with which all people can identify.
		Popeye's pals are stars in their own right: Olive Oyl will be featured in a Europe-wide print campaign for B.F. Goodrich tires, while Wimpy stars on TV in the United States for Xenical and has appeared recently on TV for Burger King.

	Popeye the Sailor Man
		Popeye was a sensation that immediately captured the attention of comic strip readers.
		And right there the movie loses its momentum, in a moment that is emblematic of the whole movie: over and over again, there’s a charming or fun scene followed by one that makes no sense and deflates the audience’s goodwill.
		Popeye was surely produced due to the runaway success of the Broadway musical Annie, which was based on the famous 1930s comic strip Little Orphan Annie.

	Robin Williams: Popeye - Movie
		I get so tired of hearing movie critic (and even Williams himself) say how bad the movie was.
		I may be a little bias because this is the first actual movie I remember going to see at the theater when I was a kid.
		I love the music, the acting, the comedy, the scenery, the story and the family oriented nature of the film.

	Popeye
		What we discovered was that Popeye had all the makings of a thoroughly modern character already built into him—these elements simply had not been part of any of his more recent incarnations, which relied almost exclusively on the Popeye love triangle and spinach formula.
		The Popeye Character Sourcebook that resulted from camp describes a relevant, revitalized Popeye but one that is also deeply grounded in who the character has been in the past.
		Based on the Popeye Sourcebook, a script is in development for an hour-long TV special that will launch the newly revitalized 80-year-old sailor in a way that will connect him with young audiences without alienating his diehard fans.

	MovieFreak.com - Popeye DVD Review
		Robert Altman’s Popeye is essentially a musical version of the famous cartoon/comic strip by E.C. Segar.
		This changes when Popeye arrives in town and starts to shake up the place.
		Popeye is essentially a musical, but the songs are enjoyable, as is Robin Williams who is near perfect as the sailor man. Paramount offers some remarkable video and audio presentations considering the age of this film.

	Popeye (1980)
		Popeye the sailor man (Robin Williams) comes into town but receives a very chilly reception from the locals.
		I knew I was in for a long ride when I saw the wacky character who spends the whole movie attempting to pick up his hat; instead, he constantly kicks it a few feet in from of him.
		Popeye appears in an aspect ratio of approximately 2.35:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; the image has been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		In the cartoon "Popeye in Goonland", made in 1938, Popeye says he hasnt seen his Pappy since birth, 40 years ago, so that would put his actual birth in 1898.
		Popeye did not have a dog, but did have a pet called Eugene the Jeep who is magical.
		The movie directed by Robert altman and starring Robin Williams as Popeye and Shelley Duvall as Olive Oyl is an abomination.

		One was Popeye's Pizza Palace, with Popeye as pizza chef, Wimpy mooching hamburger pizzas, and Brutus (main nemesis instead of Bluto) demanding a tamale pizza.
		Popeye was reluctant to baby sit Diesel Oyl (daughter of Olive's brother Castor Oyl?) as he was fatigued from lack of sleep, but still took the job.
		Popeye first tried telling Diesel a story about a witch; she interrupted "Which witch?" Popeye retorted "How does I know which witch?" and pleaded to be allowed to sleep and dream up an ending, but Diesel insisted that he play horse (for which he lacked energy).

		As the strip developed readers learned that Popeye was the son of Poopdeck Pappy and was born in a typhoon off the coast of Santa Monica, California.
		The earliest Popeye cartoons were made in fl and white and included titles such as Adventures of Popeye, Popeye The Sailor, and A Clean Shaven Man. By 1936 Fleischer Studios was producing Popeye cartoons in Technicolor.
		Ultimately there would be more than 450 Popeye cartoons in the 20th century.With all his exposure on the silver screen, and with a radio program too, Popeye became a national hero and a perfect choice for toys.

	I Yam What I Yam!
		Popeye was an immediate hit, eventually surpassing Betty, who would soon suffer from the stricter censorship of the Hayes Office in the mid-1930s.
		Popeye was never much of a spinach eater in the syndicated strip, but the Fleishers made the vegetable his prime source of sustenance, enabling him to overcome any obstacle.
		Later Popeye attributed his recovery to spinach, and he occasionally relied on spinach in a particularly harrowing fight, but by and large there wasn't much emphasis on the veggie in the strip.

		I guess what was cool back in the 1930's seems pretty lame now, but Popeye was one of the toughest cartoon characters of his day.
		Popeye would usually spend his time beating the crap out of local trouble maker Bluto who was constantly kidnapping his main girl Olive Oyl (get it?).
		Popeye looks like he has a bad case of the Mumps, Bluto looks like the Incredible Hulk on a bad day, and Olive Oly could double for the wicked witch of the west.

	Popeye (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Popeye was created by Elzie C.Segar as a comic strip character in 1929.Throughout the thirties Popeye and Olive Oyl were joined by characters such as the Sea Hag,Wimpy,Bluto,Swee'Pea,the Goon,The Jeep and Poopdeck Pappy.
		Also, in the movie, the town of Sweethaven was all disheveled and uneven, with the streets and buildings going every which way, and some of the townspeople were pretty unsavory-looking (there was even a gambling den/whorehouse--not exactly nursery school stuff).
		I think Popeye might've only really Jumped The Shark when Dinky The Dog was added to the CBS version, a cartoon which I don't recall seeing at that time when dozens of Popeye merchandise was spanned from the early 1980's.

		If another movie gets made based on these characters (and hopefully it will soon), it would best serve them to use this previous film as a stencil to work from, but be able to use today's better FX to make it today's phenominon.
		This is one of the funniest movies ever...and one of the few that is clean enough for the whole family, even young ones.
		It was a movie I watched as a little girl and thought now that I have two little girls, that they would enjoy it as much as I have.

		Trivia: In a print interview released around the same time as the film, Shelley Duvall admitted that kids used to call her "Olive Oyl"; when she was in grade school.
		Popeye: That's going to be hard for you to see.
		This movie can be enjoyed if for no other reason than for its total lack of irony.

	Popeye: the Video Game
		The main problem with this is that the movie was made in 1980.
		While I understand that the game may not have been as quickly developed as something of that style would be now, but it’s not like they had to train a team of monkeys to sit inside of the cabinet and hit buttons and re-enact the movements with puppets.
		With a two-year gap between the movie release and the video game release, I think I’ll have to be a bit subjective and not associate the two.

		Other Popeye characters to make an appearance in the game are Wimpy, Sweetpea, the Sea Hag and her Vulture.
		They are worth twice as much when Popeye is under the influence of spinach, so catching some of the higher hearts can really help your score.
		Every time Popeye catches a letter, one step is added to a ladder which goes up to Olive Oyl When the ladder is finished, Olive Oyl is rescued.

	Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits Restaurants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Popeyes story began in New Orleans back in 1972, when Al Copeland opened a quick-service restaurant called “Chicken on the Run,” selling traditional mild fried chicken to the folks in small New Orleans suburb of Arabi.
		Copeland had already been experimenting with the flavorful Cajun recipes he’d been enjoying all his life and soon reopened his restaurant as "Popeyes,” named after the character Popeye Doyle in the movie “The French Connection.” With this new concept, Copeland made his mark on the world.
		Thanks to great recipes, a franchise support system that was among the best in the quick-service food industry, and the help of one of the most effective jingles ever created — “Love that Chicken from Popeyes” — Popeyes continued its stunning growth, opening 200 additional restaurants over the next few years.

	Popeye (1980) - PK's Comic Book Movie Reviews
		It won Worst Picture from The Stinkers, and was an enormous box-office flop after Paramount promoted it as their big holiday release.

		Half the time when Popeye mutters, you see only vague lip movements and then some Robin Williams wisecrackery is dubbed on top, and it doesn't match at all.
