Do you remember the very first cartoon you ever seen? a lot can not but I remember it very well and the very first cartoon was not from Warner Brothers, Disney or Hanna Barbera but it was a Popeye cartoon and that one was title "Popeye The Sailor Meets Sindbad The Sailor" And yes to this day I still love seeing any old classic Popeye tune ...(well maybe not the Popeye and Son 80s tv show)
Anyway here's my take on him drawing them in the classic 1933 style only this time taking from a scene of the live action 1980's film Popeye at the end where all are fighting over the treasure chest on SPAB ISLAND with all the main cast even the background characters. See this is why the live action did not work what they should had done it all in the classic animation style but history is history. (still love the movie anyway)
FUNFACT: Did you Know that Nintendo did not wanted to make Donkey Kong but a game of Popeye?
Donkey Kong did have pop culture roots. When Nintendo failed to license the Popeye comic strip’s characters, the company charged Miyamoto and his team with creating brand new characters for its next game. Miyamoto worked a carpenter, a gorilla, and a lovely lady into a sort of love triangle that mirrored the romance of Popeye, his ogre-ish nemesis Bluto, and Olive Oyl. Miyamoto said that making his Bluto-esque character into an ape ensured that there was "nothing too evil or repulsive" about the big brute.

i remember it some years ago when i see it on dvd but i don't what happened to it but i remember the movie makers try to make a movie popeye the sailer the movie But somehow if that movie was scrapped somehow to make way for another movie for something about those faces on your mobile phone whatever you call them... But i like this one better bring so many memories... At some so many times
An awesome tribute. I half expect to see the scene burst into motion with the rotoscoping and the... (Hmmm. Not sure if that's what it was called when the background moved in this amazing, three dimensional way or not. https://youtu.be/1AZAbSXmeoI )
This is a great tribute to the cartoon! =D
You made the drawing style justice to the original! ^^
Man I miss to watch that cartoon.
I used to see the Sinbad and Aladdin ones on VHS.
...
Man I'm old!!
Anyhow, I might get the Popeye cartoons on DVD. =3
Btw, it's still a bummer the creators of Hotel Transylvania, wasn't granted to make the Popeye movie....
The demo animation was the best thing I have seen in ages!
And it was canned because of that moivie with characters based on smilies, which was also canned because of the reaction from the audience.
So if they don't give the Popeye animation a new chance, they would have totally busted all my belief in that company. = =;

They actually did do a Popeye game later on:

However, you are correct to say that what was to be a Popeye game originally instead led us to witness the debut of Donkey Kong.

I have Popeye games for my Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Intellivision, Colecovision, TI99/4A, Atari 400/800, Famicom, NES:)
