Just let Genndy Tartakovsky make his animated Popeye movie already you cowards

AI should be amazing for snubbed animators like him, because soon enough, he can just do it himself.
I’m sure if there’s one thing animators are excited about, it’s the possibility of having AI generate the animation for them.
Did he draw every frame of his other works?
People act like text is the only input. Nah: these are denoisers. They fill in gaps. Current models aren’t tuned specifically to finish sketches or tween animatics, but that’s right there waiting to happen.
I wanna know what Sora does if you drop in unfinished parts of The Thief & The Cobbler. It’s not gonna spit out some completely different cartoon.
If you never watched Popeye it’s worth seeing at least once. It has a ton of heart. It’s no where near coming close to amazing or anything, but it gets a worse reputation that it deserves
It uses the comic strip for it’s world, which is different than what people are used to from only seeing the cartoon stuff. Every character is basically perfectly cast, and they all have their own unique things they do, is pretty interesting just to watch all the background characters interact.
It’s Robin Williams first movie, too. Seeing him as a scrubby mumbling ahole is fun. Although the mumbling did get tiring after awhile.
Didn’t know it was Robin Williams first movie. I haven’t seen it for decades. You make me want to watch it again!
Edit: I do remember Shelly Duvall as Olive Oyl, though. You’re right about the casting!
This would work if it starred Olivia Coleman.
As Popeye.
Aw, I love this movie. We watched it a ton of times when I was a kid. Sweet Pea is just damn adorable, and it’s perfectly cast.
I haven’t seen the first adaptation, but the casting seems unbelievably apt. If Shelly Duvall couldn’t make Olive Oyl work opposite a living cartoon like Robin Williams - give up.
They’re trying to ride the coattails of the Katzenjammer Kids blockbuster movie.
As in, made by the folks working at the last Blockbuster?
They’ve got plenty of free time.
I’m surprised he’s still a smoker.
It’s “renew your copyright” time again…
