Popeye (Sony Pictures Animation)

Popeye was a cancelled film based off the Popeye cartoon characters. The film was supposed to be released by Sony.

Why it was cancelled

 * 1) It would seem a bit strange to make a film about characters from old cartoons when their popularity has faded away now.
 * 2) Possible development issues may have caused this film to be cancelled.
 * 3) The Sony hack may have also caused it to be cancelled since the film was first in development in 2014.

Result

 * The film was cancelled.
 * The trailer was leaked.
 * This production was later replaced by The Emoji Movie in 2017.
