Best known for creating Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, and the traditionally animated Star Wars: clone wars series, animator Genndy Tartakovsky has been working with Sony Animation Studios for a long time to get an animated Popeye movie off the ground (the second big screen outing for the sailor man after Robert Altman's 1980 live action effort starring the late Robin Williams). While no concrete start date for the project has been given yet (Tartakovsky is busy working on Hotel Transylvania 2, the original marking his feature film directorial debut), the below animation test has be released, giving a good sense of the look of the film. It's an odd look, like play dough mixed with computer animation, but one that just seems to fit the characters. Check it out below.
