   @miscbrains@misc.brainsoap.net @coolboymew@shitposter.club They got Tom Kenny to be Popeye. He's serviceable but far from the best.
   
   This is the only animation it got https://youtu.be/i4tNuM9XttM?feature=shared
   
   The movie itself is pretty alright, it mostly keeps the original charm and doesn't have a lot of tropes most modern animated movies fall into.
   
   Part of why it got shelved was cuz they didn't have any faith Popeye would appeal to kids in this day an age. I heard they wanted him to be a kid more celeb voices and other shit but thankfully it didn't happen.
   
   It's also cool seeing some of the storyboards Genndy drew.

     @Weeble@bungle.online @coolboymew@shitposter.club Yeah the voice in that trailer is... ehh passable.
     
     They're not wrong about Popeye being a mystery for marketability. But that's the same for all the 30s era cartoons that weren't Disney or WB.
     
     I'm kind of disappointed it was 3d animation instead of a 2d thing. But given the money train of Hotel- not surprising. At least they pretty much nailed Olive Oyl's weirdness

     @miscbrains@misc.brainsoap.net @coolboymew@shitposter.club "Marketability" is a spook suits use as an excuse to make shit as bland as possible. You can make ppl watch anything with the right words and enough exposure, they just didn't wanna finance something that isn't a guaranteed box office success.
     
     I promise you if Mickey Mouse got pitched today execs would use the same "muh marketability" cope.
     
     Also I found a post from another guy who worked on the movie talking about some of the changes the execs wanted.
