In my childhood, popeye gave me confidence. He also made me believe that I could take out any bully at school. lol.
Below is one of my all time favorite episodes.
And let's not forget the black and white classics...
I also have to torture y'all with some of this...
I actually think that this is one of the best examples of the transition from cartoon to live action. If you don't agree, comment and give me a better example.

Robert Altman, the director of the "Popeye" movie (and the original "MASH", "Nashville", "Short Cuts", "The Prairie Home Companion" and more), passed away just recently.
Most critics criticize the "Popeye" film for being "too faithful" to Elsie Segar's comic strip that featured the many characters not in the Fleischer or Paramount cartoons and playing out the origins how Popeye and Olive first met, Why Bluto and Popeye are enemies, how Swee' pea came along, and so on.
Most comic strip movie adaptations usually get criticized for not being faithful to the origins of its characters, deviating from the creator's original stories and taking Hollywood short cuts to make the story "interesting". Yet, "Popeye" gets criticized for being "boring" by sticking close to Segar's strip. Go figure.
Robin Williams was great as Popeye...his natural ad-libbing worked well.
I still remember the sound that popeye's throat made when he swallowed spinach...isn't that random?
Great interpretation of Popeye and Bluto. Your other recent Throwback Thursday entries have been great as well. Sorry for not commenting more of late.

Lots of other folks there with even more animation knowledge than me...Scary, huh? ;-)
Popeye has to be the only movie that I can tolerate Robin Williams in.
