About this product

Product Information

The classic comic strip and cartoon hero comes to life in Robert Altman's film adaptation of the adventures of the spinach-munching sailor. After he's thrown from his ship during a storm, Popeye (Robin Williams) finds refuge in a quaint seaside town. There he rents a room from the Oyls and meets their daughter Olive (the perfectly cast Shelley Duvall). Olive is engaged to Captain Bluto (Paul Smith), a bully and ruffian who is in charge of collecting taxes for the mysterious Commandant. Popeye, who was orphaned at an early age, is in the midst of a desperate search for his missing father, but what he doesn't realize is that the shipwreck has brought him unexpectedly close to his final destination. In bringing his own distinct vision to E. C. Segar's legendary hero, Altman creates an atmosphere that is breezy, loose, and filled with slapstick shenanigans. Williams portrays Popeye with a physically comic flair that is both honest and energetic--as do the rest of the cast members, including frequent Altman contributors Duvall, Paul Dooley, and David Arkin. Harry Nilsson's songs add to the lighthearted affair, making POPEYE an enjoyable family viewing experience all around.

  • Better than the credit it's given!

    The swearing absolutely wasn't needed in this film, but the casting was perfect and they really stayed true to the characters in all respects. Robin Williams constantly comments how much he hated his role and this film he took part in, but he doesn't understand the iconic film he took part in (as well as others who chastise this film as well), as this film will go down in history. Elsie Chrisler Segar would be proud to watch this, had he lived to see his creation come to the big screen, with the respect it was duely deserved. I've wanted to own this movie for a very long time, but it always slipped my mind everytime I was at my video merchant. My great-niece and great-nephew love the Popeye character and asked me to draw him, since I'm an artist who draws for a living, especially here on ...

  • This One Is Barely Watchable

    Going through and renting or buying all the cartoon or comic strip or comic book movies that have been filmed. We also sell comic books in our eBay store, so you can see that we have in an interest in this genre. However I have to write what I really think about a movie in these reviews. IMHO this one is barely watchable... even though it is Robin William's first major role in a movie. The Sets are fine, the storyline is ok, but the music and dialogue is terrible! I have liked several of Harry Nilsson's songs in the past, but this film score is not one of the better ones.... I have read several histories on Popeye, I grew up with the cartoons, but this is barely worth watching, sorry!

  • Popeye DVD

    I remembered seeing the movie when my own children were younger, and wanted to share it with my young grandchildren. I was a little concerned because they were not familiar with the characters, but they really enjoyed it, and we have watched it twice already! I love the way the costumes are so like the comic strip! I think the set design of the town is just fascinating, and the setting of the wonderful rock formations poking up from the sea,(on location in Malta)is so amazing! The casting of the movie was terrific too, especially for Popeye and Olive Oyl, the two main characters! Having grown up with them from the funny papers, it was fun to see old friends again!
