Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaMost of Popeye's lines were discovered to be inaudible once filming wrapped. Robin Williams had to re-dub much of the dialogue.
- GoofsAs per the info in the trivia section of this film, the makeup and appliances for Popeye's massive forearms were not ready, so in some scenes, especially the boxing match, it's visible that the insides of his forearms are merely flesh-colored pads tied over Robin Williams' arms; the strings are visible.
- Quotes
Popeye: They've got me Olive Oyl and Swee'Pea.
Poopdeck Pappy: Olive Oyl? Swee'Pea? What are you doing, making a salad? I want me treasure. Do you hear me? I want me treasure!
- Crazy creditsThe film begins in black-and-white, showing a vintage Paramount logo and the opening credits for the 1930s Paramount-Fleischer Studios Popeye cartoons. However, an animated Popeye appears and sees this is the wrong opening. The movie then cuts to full color, and the opening credits continue.
- Alternate versionsA recent television version is altered in at least one way. Bluto's song "I'm Mean" is eliminated from the soundtrack as he trashes the Oyls' family home waiting for Olive Oyl.

I'm Popeye The Sailor Man! I'm Popeye The Say-lor Man! I'm Strong To Dee Finnish Cause I Eat Me Spinach I'm Popeye The Sailor Man!
Two hours of pure delight! I saw this film on television years ago and it keeps on getting better and better. I have always been a Popeye fan and the cartoons from the thirties are always fun to watch.
While the acting is definitely not the best, it is a cute movie and can be enjoyed whenever it is on TV. A fun movie is fun no matter how many times you see it.
While the film is nothing compared to the wonderful cartoons of the thirties through the fifties, Popeye creates a world like none other. We can relax and have fun with Popeye as he journeys with Ms. Duvall.
A fun movie for all to watch. Recommended especially for the little ones.
MPAA Rating: PG
My Rating: 4 and up
My * Rating: 8.0/10
