Sony Pictures greenlit an All-CGI Cartoon film based on the Popeye comic strips and animated shorts in 2010, and Genndy Tartakovsky was announced to direct it in 2012 fresh off the success of Hotel Transylvania. A test footage just over a minute long was released in September 2014, but the project was eventually cancelled mid-production in 2015. It was an especially tragic case, as Tartakovsky's animation instructor was a former Fleischer Studios animator. Popeye was voiced by Tom Kenny and Olive Oyl was voiced by Grey DeLisle.In May 2020, it was announced that a new Popeye movie is in development at King Features Syndicate, with Tartakovsky coming back to helm the project without Sony's involvement (as their rights to the character expired a couple years earlier).In July 2022, an animatic of the original Sony film was leaked online, complete with fully voiced dialogue. It also details what the plot of the movie was:The film follows Popeye who washes ashore on Sea Haven as an infant inside a spinach crate. Growing up an orphan who is mocked for being different from everyone else, one day a mysterious red jewel washes ashore and shows him visions of his father. Skipping ahead a few years, Popeye now in his early 20s along with Jeep and a reluctant Olive Oyl set out across the ocean to find his father; all while being pursued by the Sea Hag.The test footage of the original project can be watched here.

The Man in the Mirror Talks Back
 Popeye (2014) / int_1d434991
comment
The Man in the Mirror Talks Back: Olive talks to her reflection at several points. The first time she does, it even notices Popeye's coming before she does and tells her to stop talking to herself. And it's her reflection that eventually convinces her to embrace who she really wants to be instead of just being "The girl from the house on the hill" all her life.

Disguised in Drag: Popeye and Olive plan to steal the jewel back from the sky pirates by using a "female approach".
