Hulkeasexo it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Wyatt There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Popeye's Voyage: The Quest for Pappy" is a 47-minute animated short film from over 10 years ago. The version i watched ran for 47 minutes, but I see there's apparently also one that runs for 44 only and fulfills the short film criteria according to IMDb, even if I did not find it. Anyway, this is about Popeye, the famous sailor and people who have seen his old cartoons from clearly over half a century ago may have a hard time adjusting to this modern style of animation. But if you do manage, you will be rewarded. I thought this was a good version of the sailor stories. I think they managed a nice balance between new aspects (Bluto is not the bad guy really) and the traditional values (Popeye eating his spinach in the end to get superpowers). The film delivers in terms of drama (surprisingly) and comedy. Of course with this runtime there are no jokes every 15 seconds like in the 7-minute cartoons, but this simply would not be possible The ones that are there are working and I also liked the animation. nice idea that almost all the action takes place on a ship, which adds a lot to the sailor reference again. One of the people who made this is successful actor and Golden Globe nominee Paul Reiser, which surprised me a bit. All in all, I say good job to everybody who worked on this, also the great voice acting cast who nailed their parts, and I recommend checking it out. Too bad no sequels were made afterward. Maybe the reason i enjoyed it is that I am not the greatest fan of the old Popeye cartoons and occasionally consider them quantity over quality.

stevenpdilworth I loved this Popeye adventure. From the voice renditions, to the off-hand muttering by Popeye, right down to Pappy's scrappy lovable nature, Bluto's rough and tumble ignorance, Olive Oyl's firm-handed yet loyal nature, Sweet Pea's way of communicating without actual words and Wimpy's gad-about hand-out always hungry silliness, this movie had all the flavor of the great black and white classics!! Mainstream entertainment should be proud of this accomplishment. With beautiful textures, picture perfect models and beautiful atmospherics, they managed to capture everything I loved about Popeye as a boy. My hat is off to Paul Reiser and everyone else involved.

jjj522002 Well, I guess Popeye is nearly dead. God rest his soul. This is IMDb, this is the place where it happens. Right? Hopefully not. Because if these putrid few comments are all this rendition gets then....Popeye is nearly dead. Long live Popeye. My six year old grandson that we are raising loved this CGI version because I had bought many DVD's of Popeye, from the original greats to the boring 60's and 70's stuff. He enjoyed them all, mostly. He enjoyed this one, too. He laughed and watched me laugh. BUT the few (2) comments here shows how popeye has died. God and man rest his soul. A legend gone. Only a memory,soon to be forgotten. History. Sad but true.Long live Popeye, my hero. Sincerely, Jeff Johns, and Nathan Dale McKee Thank you, Ezekiel Norton, Jim Hardison and Paul Reiser. I loved Popeye, too. I know y'all did.

jssgel Been a LOYAL Popeye fan for over 40 years and this is WELL worth the purchase! Billy West's Popeye voice is EXACT to long time original voice Jack Mercer....thru the mumblings, singing, and voice characteristics hes stupendous! Olives and Bluto's is also Fantastic and VERY close to the originals. GREAT,GREAT special and 3-d animation!!! Music for the special is GREAT also...Mark M. Does a wonderful job.... For all you POPEYE fans, it is unbelievable how they redid the special to the Fleischer era and adopt for today... The only thing missing is Bluto and Popeye as enemy's, but maybe for todays children it isn't that bad.
