Talk:Popeye (film)

message: Got a copy of this charming film on DVD (reliving childhood) and the DVD release seems to have a few different things compared to my memory.
One that stood out was there now a musical number during Bluto's destruction of the house (I'm Mean) whereas my memory is that Bluto gets angry and wrecks the house (without any song).
Is there any information on songs that were not included in the original release, but seem to have been re-instated for the DVD release?
-- To answer the above unsigned question, the original theatrical release did contain the song (I'm Mean) while Bluto was destroying the house.  I believe there is an edited for television version that cuts out "I'm Mean" and also cuts out the song "I Yam What I Yam" from the Horeseracing scene.  It's been ages since I have seen this on TV though, so I don't know if the current TV version still has these cuts. Grimesby (talk) 06:39, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I removed a big chunk of text from the "Production" section about the history of Popeye and spinach, including a detailed description of a Mad Magazine parody of the movie. There were no citations and a few weasel words, plus it doesn't really need that much detail in the "Production" section. If someone wants to add a section on differences between the movie, comic, and cartoon, that would be a better place for it. Thonan (talk) 02:13, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I can remember the essence of a quote from Altman responding to the question of “Popeye” having been a flop, which was along the lines, “If that is the case, then I wish that all my movies could have been as big flops as “Popeye”…!”, on the basis that at the box-office it was in fact one of his bigger “hits”, and financially it had been better for him than some critical favourites. Does anyone know of a source for this, or another quote which expresses the same sentiment, as I think it would make an interesting balance to the impression that this was some sort of low-point in Altman’s career, for which he might have been embarrassed.

replies: text: Do you read the LA Times? If he said it once he probably said it in several places but at least in an interview with the LA Times he expressed the same sentiment when Altman said:  -- 109.79.160.61 (talk) 13:46, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
