POPEYE THE SAILOR MAN (2025)
“Spinach never looked so good.”
The beloved brawler of the high seas sails back into pop culture in this energetic and colorful reboot. Popeye the Sailor Man (2025) blends classic charm with sleek modern animation, delivering a family-friendly joyride packed with laughs, chaos, and — of course — spinach.
This time around, Popeye is voiced by a top-secret Hollywood heavyweight, bringing both grit and warmth to the gruff sailor. Olive Oyl shines with sharper wit and more screen time, while Wimpy remains hilariously hopeless in his eternal quest for burgers. Even the new rogues feel like they’ve stepped out of a zany Saturday morning cartoon — wild, weird, and wonderfully wacky.
From slapstick brawls to surprisingly sweet moments, the movie keeps a brisk pace, never taking itself too seriously. Longtime fans will find nostalgic nods hidden throughout, while newcomers can enjoy the humor, action, and vivid animation with fresh eyes
The Bottom Line:
Not perfect, but packed with heart and hilarity. It’s a reboot that respects its roots while swinging into the present — fists flying and spinach flying faster. Anchors aweigh!
