An anonymous source using the pseudonym Chip Butty has uploaded the full, 87-minute animatic for Sony Pictures Animation’s Popeye project from Genndy Tartakovsky, and shared the video exclusively with Cartoon Brew.
Cartoon Brew has confirmed the video’s authenticity with a source connected to the film, but we have not been able to confirm how many other versions of the animatic there were, or whether this was close to the final version before the film was cancelled.

Coulda just linked the damn video
Don’t forget to download it
Any good way to download a YouTube rip with highest quality video and audio?
Go up to the address bar and take the "ube" out of "youtube" on your desired link (so it says "yout.com/watch... whatever the rest is)
Wow dead already.
You had 4 days to get it slowpoke.
Please tell me it was archived.
It was, see
Kino
Twenty minutes in, and it’s alright, all things considered.
>4:15
Is that Meteora's Rattle/The first Mewni wand user's Wand?
I know is just a coincidence since most cartoon rattles look the same, but I thought it was interesting.
>87 MINUTES
I wanna FRICK that hag.
Is it only uploaded at 480p or is israelitetube still processing HD? Here's a mega for the 480p one anyway.

I double checked the video's resolution before I downloaded it. It was 480p.
man these voices are not good, like not even sort of good.
I figured they'd have been re-recorded if they went ahead with the movie.
It's for an animatic
It's an animatic, it's the actors (if even the actors at all- often it's straight up the animators) doing basic line reads just so we know how things are roughly supposed to sound. In the actual movie these'd all sound different.
Pretty typical for animatics, especially early in production, it's usually the storyboard artists, writers, directors, etc that voice it before the actual VA's get signed on.
Also very common for them to use copyrighted sound effects and songs for the animatic they don't have permission to use, but they're there to best convey the music and feeling they want made for release.
It's all just part of the process, which you almost never see.
I was actually sort of impressed by the voices, since it seemed pretty apparent early on that these weren’t the final performances. It was like having a really fun uncle read you a bedtime story, but not like, a professional Hollywood actor’s final cut. So still fun even if it weren’t perfectly polished.
The rest of the audio was better than I was expecting too, including the sound effects and music.
All in all, I was pretty impressed that an entire feature length film ended up being so good at just the animatic stage. I guess it would have been a pretty damn solid movie, since I’m sure it would be better with finished animation. It wasn’t perfect, there were a few holes and some gags that didn’t quite land, but I’d still rate it as at least as good as Hotel Transylvania.
It does also leave me wondering what other sorts of projects that can’t get the full funding they need would still be entertaining if we got to get them half done like this.
>trap Popeye
why did they can this??
Emoji movie
Frick Sony
Sneezegays getting something to do to
Neat
Didn't this film get picked up by another company to be made, or is it dead in the water?
King Features Syndicate was trying to relaunch it somewhere else and keeping Genndy, but with him back at Cartoon Network, it's clearly dead in the water now.
Could WB do it?
Who owns Popeye?
King Features
The paramount cartoons however are now owned by WB

I don't get it, isn't Popeye public domain?
>I don't get it, isn't Popeye public domain?
Only outside of America. Here he's owned by King Features, the same company that publishes Flash Gordon and The Phantom.
>wimpy only shows up for like two minutes
>he never offers to pay anyone Tuesday
Well it's animatics... Who knows how many revisions there might've been after this.

thank frick

Thanks
Will find a way to download once home with wifi.
So did the Jeep show up that randomly out of the blue in the comics too? Is that just part of its backstory?
For a second I thought it was gonna be somehow tied to the israeliteel, but it really just pops out of nowhere for no reason.
If I remember correctly, he was actually a gift to Olive from her explorer uncle, who just found it wandering around Africa. The official explanation given to Popeye about his origin is that 'a couple of cells from a fourth dimensional being slipped into our reality and combined with an African Hound to create the Jeep. since they were kindred cells.'
That makes a frick of a lot more sense than it randomly popping up in a junkyard.
>it sucks
Wew
how long until we get a reanimated collab
Man... even rough 2D animation has so much more soul than most 3D animation.
i wouldnt go that far.
genndy just knows how to frame a shot
The one scene that got fully animated was pretty good.
Back then I thought the trailer was cringe, but having watched the full movie I would've loved the full movie
A hand drawn Popeye series done by Genndy in the style of the shorts or strips would have been kino.
>popeye dresses up like a girl
>olive oyl calls him a gay
On one hand, as it's own thing, it's perfectly enjoyable cartoony goodness from one of the greats in the field.
On the other hand, it's also reflective of modern sensibilities fricking up a classic IP big time when goddamn Olive is doing more punching than Popeye himself.
Popeye got a good share of beatdowns and more detailed ones. Olive going ham on some goons was fun
Why 3D?
Between this and the Garfield movie clips I really hope we're entering a phase of time where draft leaks are common. I love these a lot and since streaming took over we get shitty bland DVDs with minimal special features in that regard now.
Also, it's good to see what they were wanting to go for at this film now.
Strictly as a fan I agree with it’s really cool to see stuff like this, and Genndy’s Popeye was a holy grail of sorts.
From a professional standpoint
>Animation Magazine, Catsuka, Cartoon Research all refuse to report on it
>Cartoon Brew, Amidi specifically, put it as a front page exclusive and link the video
They really are the scum of the earth. Absolutely shameless.
considering how these places have zoomer kids in college as interne having full access to everything and very little supervision im more surprised we dont have MORE of this then we do. Like full board and animations for every show in the last ten years. you just know some ex or current intern has it all on a thumb drive somewhere.
>the Garfield movie clips
Are you talking about the new movie? If so, could you get me a link to the leaks?
>Wha's a Jeep? finally got ripped
>now this
Frick yeah
What's the cast list?
Mentioned in another thread, but I'm glad that by the looks of it most of the humor felt timeless, regardless if it landed or not.
While not really hilarious it was all chuckle worthy for the most part and nothing dated or cringe.
Finished watching it and I got some comments on it
>Wimpy should have played a slightly bigger role through the movie. I don't know exactly how they would do it since they're going with the "Popeye is a loner and his only friend is Jeep" angle, but maybe Wimpy could be his lone friend from the orphanage but initially doesn't want to help Popeye with the boat and eventually gets dragged along for the ride at the end of the first act?
>When they actually get to the Seahag's island feels very rushed, extend it with them exploring the island some more before they run into the Seahag disguised as Popeye's dad. If you need more space for that cut the part with the Flamingos, it felt too samey to the part when the Skypirates attack the ship
>The ending needs something more than just closing on Popeye socking Bluto, even just a "Where are they now" montage showing Popeye and Olive married on a new ship they built together, Popeye's dad running a shop in town, the Seahag doing good things around the ocean, and Bluto joining the Skypirates since he wants money
Overall acts 1/2 are fine but act 3 needs a bit of reworking.
isnt there like 80 years of popeye comics that could serve as adaptation material?
