Posting an old pic of mine here because... Robin Williams. ;_;
No matter how many great movies he was into (Mrs. Doubtfire is still my favorite), curiously I'll always remember him as Popeye.
Yeah, the movie is abysmal, even Robin used to say: "if you watch it backwards, it has a plot." But Popeye was my main childhood hero, there's something magic on his role on that movie. Seeing Robin Williams perfectly as Popeye in flesh and bones was one of the greatest moments in my kid's life.
He will be missed. A LOT.

I completely agree. So sad, but I will always remember him for the laughed he gave me.
Popeye was a favorite of mine too, aside from aladdin, that I'll remember Robin William fondly of.
I saw this on front page.
I remember seeing it in theaters as a kid too.
Not his best film, tho I always did like the Popeye cartoons too.
I agree seeing him as a person instead of animated made Popeye feel
more like a real person.

Oh...damn...well, Robin certainly won't be missed. From playing characters like Mork, Genie, Popeye and so much more...rest in peace Mr. Williams...thanks for making us laugh
Ms. Doubtfire is one of my favorite movies and Robin Williams himself was and still is my favorite actor of all times.
That movie was hecka well acted. Poorly written, sure, but Williams was perfect for the role.
Gonna miss him.
Gonna miss him.
RIP Robin Williams you will be missed.
Popeye is also one of my favorite childhood cartoons.

There are those who remember the spinich eating Sailor ( like me) for his voice, his mannerisims, and the way he "talked under his breath'...
It was fun in black and white.. but when Robin Williams stepped onto the big screen and breathed REAL LIFE into the character... it went from two demensions to three demensions and became something beyond "mere fun"..
He and all his comic gold will be missed, but the legacy he left behind will ( I hope ) be cherished for decades and more.
honestly...I really liked the Popeye movie when I was a kid, but that could be partly because I've always been a Robin Williams fan. Such a sad day it is
RIP Robin Williams, he was the true Pan, love that movie :C
My god your fast and very good with the art. You did great honor to the Man. Bless you.
Oh man, I remember that movie. I was going through my head on how many Robin Williams-movies I've seen in past and Popeye was one of the earliest I've seen. Another gem left behind by a great, magical man.
RIP Robin Williams.
RIP Robin Williams.
I.... didn't like the movie. Everyone was so MEAN in it. :(
... But it's the thought that counts. This is a good tribute.

Pretty bad movie... Great Art... Fantastic Actor... Terrible News.
I'm a little torn up by all this right now.

WOW! So well done! <:D
And yes, I loved his portrayal of the spinach munching sailor man. Popeye was my childhood hero too. <:D
Well done tribute work here. <:3

No one else could have played a better live action version of Popeye
Freakin' sucks too 'cause I just got done watching one of his stand up shows when I found out.
that movie has a special place in my heart, it was the first I saw Robin in, despite that I didn't know who he was cause I was a child. cheers
I first got to watch Robin back when I was I child watching televison. He portrayed Mork from "Mork and Mindy". a wacky alien character he started in a dream sequence in "Happy Days". I enjoyed his sense of comedy. He was also very excellent in "Alladin" as the Genie.
I wasn't aware of what happend since I slept though most of the evening, missing the evening news boradcast. It wasn't till I got up and found the living room left on where "Nightline" was brodcasting a specail report about him. Very depressing.

Heh not all movies have to be great to be memorable =3, Robin Williams brought charm to Popeye much like he did to Hook (1991), which is my favorite movie of his ^^~. Mrs. Doubtfire is a close second in that light =3.
AH yes, Popeye, its on Netflix by the way if you guys want to watch it! Not to mention is a good musical at that.
The movie was weird - they dropped the coin on it - Williams was great - there was a great fight scene where he beat up seven brothers, they actually put a giant octopus prop on a catapult and bunged it over the island - and I sat there and went - 'this movie is terrible - why?'
Well it was his own damn fault for killing himself. :(
In my religion, suicide offers harsh punishment on the other side and yes it was his own fault, but still a loss is a loss no matter how you flip the coin! :/
Magnificent popeye art and great tribute to a sweet and funny man! ♡
It's an odd one for sure, Robert Altman's Popeye movie -- an ill fit between auteur director and pulpy, silly subject matter (as Ang Lee would later discover with his attempt at a Hulk movie). Certainly Shelley Duvall is perfectly cast, but the songs are unnecessary and personally I could never get past Williams' freakish prosthetic forearms.
Robin Williams was a great Popeye. He was almost the only good thing in a dud movie (And the reason Popeye is such a dud was because Robert Altman was snorting "coke" while he was directing it). Robin Williams... His tragedy was that for all the fun and laughter he gave us all, he couldn't keep any for himself. Goodbye, Robin, thank you, and let our laughter become the strong horse that carries your troubled soul to Heaven and peace.
Pan, Popeye, Genie.

He really did do it all.
And if you cry, watch "What Dreams May Come".
Amazing and loved. RIP Robin.

Excellent tribute. He did a fantastic voice for Popeye!
Before I read the description I thought it was about the new 3D movie coming out (headed by Genndy Tartakovsky)^.^;

I'm really anticipated with this Popeye movie by Genndy Tartakovsky!
sad that Genndy Tartakovsky - jumped out of the Popeye production. I was really looking forward to it:(
I liked the robin Williams movie of Popeye it was great but it's really sad that he is long gone now.
