Animation Test Footage From Sony's New POPEYE Movie

The spinach guzzling sailor-man will return to the big screen in Genndy Tartakovsky's computer-generated feature in 2016 (most likely), and after the jump you can see an animation test which provides our first looks at Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto and co. in action.

We don't know a whole lot about Sony's animated Popeye flick, other than it's being written by The Smurfs screenwriters Jay Scherickand David Ronn, and directed by Samurai Jack/The Clone Wars creator Genndy Tartakovsky. The film's relase date has been shuffled around quite a bit, but it looks set to hits theatres sometime in 2016 at this point...maybe late 2015. Anyway, what do you guys make of this? Should Popeye be left alone or are you looking forward to this updated version? Sound off below.

This looks really terrible... I guess it's not really meant for me though.

I'll be seeing this, but only because I was a huge fan of the Popeye series when I was younger.

It's interesting because Genndy Tartakovsky's original stylised Clone Wars animation was kinda thrown into the shade when LucasFilm rebooted it with their CGI affair - I always thought he was underappreciated and kinda screwed over when they dumped his art-style - now it looks like he too is converted to the CGI semi-realism over his 2D stylised animation.

Popeye seems rather young. But that was good

Still, if it's animated...I'm not sure I'd call it "footage".

Just a shame it's 3D animation.

Pipeye Peepeye and poopeye would make better fare now. The brothers would be a lot of fun. Still I not totally sure if Olive Oil is thier mom never saw anywhere where she birthed them. Oh well as long as they eat their spinach they would all have superstrength.

That was actually pretty enjoyable.

I remember when I actually tried to eat raw spinach when I was little to become super strong like Popeye. I mean, it tasted terrible but good memories...

I agree. @Gusto and his dame should do the live-action Popeye.
