Max and Dave Fleischer’s Paramount Popeye cartoons. On DVD. For real. Nuff said! |
|
Popeye (live-action movie)
Robin Williams brings the spinach-guzzling sailor to real life in a love-it-or-hate it adaptation. While it is flawed and Robert Altman an odd choice for a blockbuster director, it’s still a magnificent achievement. |

This was the year of creative team change at Groening Central, and the piece, available to […] |
