Popeye (Sony Pictures Animation)



Popeye was a proposed film that was going to be made by Sony Pictures Animation. The film was to be directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (the creator of Samurai Jack and Dexter's Laboratory).

Plot
If you watch the animation test, it looks like that Popeye and Eugene the Jeep are fighting some pirates while attempting to save Olive.

Cast

 * Tom Kenny as Popeye
 * Grey DeLisle as Olive Oyl

Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) Sony decided to focus more on the production of The Emoji Movie, but it was later negatively received by critics because of its unoriginal story, unlikeable characters, and its elaborate product placement for numerous apps.
 * 2) Genndy Tartakovsky thought that the Popeye movie wouldn't work.Popeye Poster.jpg
 * 3) Another reason why the movie was canceled is because of the fans, who made an extreme rude comment about the 3D's first look of Popeye.

Results

 * Sony released The Emoji Movie in 2017. Despite being a modest success at the box office, The Emoji Movie was almost universally panned by critics and audiences alike.


 * As of May 2020, the animated Popeye film has moved to King Features Syndicate to be developed with Genndy Tartakovsky returning to the project.
