Shelley Duval was a great choice to play Olive Oyl.

My favorite thing about Popeye is his little mumbling voice he does sometimes and Robin nailed it perfectly 😂

R.I.P Robin Willams. 1951 - 2014. We Missed You Very Much. X

The casting here is amazing. Every character is pretty spot on. They nailed the world Popeye lived in. Popeye’s cartoon world is pretty weird.

Released 40 years ago today. Robin Williams first starring role in a movie.

I don’t think anyone could’ve done live action Popeye better than Robin.

I loved how this Movie was basically a live action cartoon, what with the way everybody moved and acted.

I always saw this on the shelf of blockbusters when I walked past as a kid and thought it was a mediocre film until I actually watched it in my college days and really enjoyed it. Thank you Robin Williams, people like you and Jim know how cartoons work.

This movie is very...weird. It's one of those things where you suspect everyone involved in its making was high as a kite the whole time, because if they were all sober, they have a lot of very strange decisions to answer for. But, then again, the sheer weirdness of it all is part of the movie's charm. You probably had to see it as a child in the 1980s to ever really appreciate it, or just be a diehard Altman fan. You certainly have to admire his willingness to completely futz with the source material the way he did, almost deliberately making all the characters off-kilter. And then making it a musical, to boot! And that crazy town! And the gambling house with the horse track! And that giant slide that only exists so that the tax collector can be shoved down it. And Popeye's "photo" of his Pappy. And the fact that he hates spinach. Honestly, I couldn't say if it's a good or bad movie. It just is. It exists in its own unique little space and it content to abide by its own rules.

I didn't even know that robin Williams played pop eye at all gawd I missed that...he was an awesome actor and very funny he'll always be missed especially from when he played off flubber too.

Casting guy nailed it.

Before Aladdin we had Popeye as part of your childhood and Robin absolutely nails it here. Why Robin was so Loved as a Human

Never new Robin Williams played Popeye.

Only Robin could pull off a live action Popeye.

R. I. P. We will miss Robin williams. I remember this movie when I was a kid. I haven't seen it in decades

My 49 year old self still loves this movie.

Who came here to see this Popeye after seeing the new 2024 Popeye trailer movie? Can’t beat it..

I wish I could have met him 😞. Popeye the movie has brought me so much joy and laughter ever since it was released.

I remember seeing this at the movie theater when I was 4. It seemed strange from my 4 year old mind back then. Would be good to watch it again now and see what my 45 year old mind gathers.

Love this movie takes me back to times when things were simpler

I remember being a kid in 90s and having to rewind the VHS manually by hand, it took 10 mins so we'd take turns and still watched it multiple times, just realised it was Robin Williams, no wonder we loved this above all else, RIP.

Used to love this film and the cartoons, popeye is too underated these days and Robin Williams makes it 10x better

I remember seeing parts of this on TV one night when I was about 5. Never left my mind which I think is a sign of how unique it was. One of the only TV memories I have living at that particular house, along with the original Superman cartoons on VHS.

Robin Williams is absolutely brilliant in this

i love this robin williams movie

One of the best attempted Not so serious Movies that were created by the Late Robert Altman. Great casting and memorable songs to him to.

This remember me Robin, what a Great Genius

Underrated. Shelley Duval was spot on.

I loved this movie as a child.

Just watched this again. Took me back to my childhood when this was my favorite movie. 🤣🤣 Very charming, irreverent, nostalgic. I love this film.

My mom had this on DVD, I saw it for the first time when I was 6 and it scared the shit out of me. For years I thought it was some weird fever dream. Weird to know it actually exists after almost 8 years of thinking it wasn't real.

Whoa i wasn't aware of this!

Paul Dooley (Wimpy) is 93 and still acting! (Sept/2021)

R.I.P Robin Williams

In the international trailer of Popeye (1980), they had the combo logos in this, in the trailer had the previously lost Mickey Mouse head logo along with the Paramount Pictures logo which now is currently found as of 2022.

I watches this as a kid the 1st time at the movie theater I always loved popeye cartoons so when I seen the trailer as a kid I asked my mom to take me to watch it it was awsome to go see it... I lived in NY spanish Harlem at that time... everytime it comes on I still watch it is playing on Pluto TV lol👍

Hola ,soy chileno .mi héroe máximo es popeye y lo respeto desde quera niño .....hoy llegando a los 60....todavía tengo los comic .....guardados como mi tesoro máximo.....ahh....y la pelicula ....un deleite para el alma ......

Everyone is talking about this movie's brilliant casting and how great all the characters look, but is no one going to talk about the sets? 1:20 I mean just look at that!

Who is here after the new popeye by Conor was released ? 🤚🏽

oh man one of all time favorites I am what I am

RIP legend robin my always fevorite hero

Flashbacks are great!

man..what a treat!! never knew this film existed.🙋

Repose en paix Robin Williams.

Remember watching this movie a lot

I remember loving this movie as a child. Never knew Robin Williams played Popeye himself tho

I get a kick out of this every time I see it

Beautiful movie

I love watching this 😁💕

I haven't seen this movie in a long time, I'm going to watch it again soon, this came out the year i was born

This gonna be hard to top. But I'm here for it.

I can’t believe he was 29 years old in this film. I was 10 yo when this movie was realised, and was really excited. Cast was spot on

1:30 - Studio Exec: "Right, and this scene where Popeye punches an octopus... "

Underrated as hell.

Apparently the set they made is still up, it just sits abandoned on that island they built it on, you can visit it and everything

Classic, Robin Williams great actor 🥇

😭 this was one of the very first movie's I went to go see I want to go back to my childhood 😭

1:15 Robin Williams Was Best Known As The Voice Of Mr Genie From Disney's Aladdin In 1992 Which Is Disney's 31st Animated Motion Picture From The Disney Renaissance And It Was Alan Menken And Howard Ashman And Tim Rice's Very First Ever Disney Animated Family Musical Blockbuster Movie Of All Time. You Ain't Never Have A Friend Like Me. Thanks Mate. X

I came to see the movie after I visited the original film set in Malta, which is still preserved and used as a small theme park.. It's so cute there!❤ You guys should check it out on holidays if you're a Popeye fan.

From Paramount Pictures, the same company behind the original Popeye cartoons from 1933-1957, who also produced this 1980 Popeye musical feature.

I was 4 or 5 when my mom took us to see this, memories, rip Robin Williams

My grandparents showed me this when I was 10. Quite the movie, I'll tell ya that. Popeye is played by The Genie from Aladdin and Olive Oyl is played by Wendy Torrance from The Shining.

When you’re a kid you don’t really pay attention to the credits for the film but I had no idea this was a Robert Altman film till I got older

this is the only musical that i like. And the best ROBIN WILLIAMS MOVIE

Fine man. I highly respect him. I know his journey and he traveled it well

Such an underrated classic. And somehow not on disney plus.

40th Anniversary of Popeye 1980 (1980-2020)

Imagine this coming out in 2021

Strangely mesmerizing

Man I was 4yrs old when this came out. My mother and aunts took my cousins and I to see it and I remember scenes from the movie as if I was seeing them in real time 1980. When my mother told me that “Mork” from “Mork and Mindy” was Popeye in the movie I was like 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Sad what happened to these 2 big 🌟

duuude how did robin williams maintain that eye thing without becoming sore?? o.O

Far as I'm concerned, Robin Williams *is* Popeye.

I love that this movie was filmed in Malta. Part of my family was born there. A beautiful place to vosit

How have I not heard of this movie

1:38- Popeye fights a giant octopus. SOLD.

Now this is Popeye!!xx 🎬😎📽

I remember seeing this in the movie like it was yesterday, I was around 6 years old and a family member left me by myself in the movie probably to go meet up with some girl , I saw this movie, then after Superman 2 played and then Popeye started again, to think in this day and age if you left a 6 year old in the movie theater the police would be there immediately.

THEY WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER POPEYE LIKE ROBIN WILLIAMS, BEST MOVIE TO START TO FINISH

Just realized on 20th april 2024 that this movie exists

Best movie ever ❤

Gosh I miss you robin williams and so does the world !!! You are prolific to the true meaning of it !!! Wonderful soul !!! We need more robin wiliams ....

I had no idea!

The only Popeye movie I will ever have watched besides the original

Robin was brilliant

😂 I remember Popeye movie 1980 Robin Williams very good actor he played excellent Popeye characters he was so funny a lot , the fight was funny just like the cartoon animation, the Popeye voice sound was very good the movie fun to watching + I love the cast

Rip Robin Williams (2014)

Imagine that the critics tried to convince everyone how this was a "bad" movie back then

Near the end of the movie, Poopdeck Pappy is holding a book and showing it to Swee'pea. What is the title of the book please? Even with my large screen TV its too blurry to read.

Why do ppl say this movie flopped. Ive only seen bits of it in the 80s

Song goes hard

Why have only heard about this film just now lol

I can't picture anyone else playing Popeye The Sailor Man other than Robin Williams

One of Disney's best.

R.I.P Robin Williams (1951-2014)

It’s The First Robin Williams Movie That Started It All.

🔹️ Shelley Duvall was very popular in the 70s & 80s, at the height of her career. A very attractive, alluring actress at the time these films were made. The Shining & Popeye

when i was growing up i thought popeye village in malta was where they animated popeye but it’s actually where they filmed this

Just visited the popeye village in Malta. The actual place where this movie was shot...

Where do I send the flowers🥊😃🥊
