    Created by E.C. Segar, Popeye first appeared in the already
    established "Thimble Theater" comic strip in 1929. Introduced
    as a walk-on character, Popeye eventually became the strip's
    star. In 1933, The Fleischers began to produce animated
    Popeye cartoons which through the 1940s. The sailor man also
    came to the big screen in 1980 with Robert Altman directing
    and the late Robin Williams in the lead.

    Tartakovsky is best known for creating "Powerpuff Girls,"
    "Dexter's Laboratory" and for his work on the traditional
    animation "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" cartoons. He made his
    feature film debut helming Sony's "Hotel Transylvania", and
    he's also helming the sequel, which will see release on
    September 25, 2015.
    This was a great movie! I remember seeing it in theaters!!!!
