Popeye cancelled for The Emoji Movie?
Later this summer, Sony Animation will release "The Emoji Movie". It is an animated
movie based on the popular emoticons on mobile devices. Genndy Tartakovsky's Popeye movie was supposed to be released instead.
Sony Animation is making a huge mistake by not green lighting a Popeye cartoon.
Releasing an Emoji movie makes sense financially because many kids today know what
that is. It's a shame they couldn't make a Popeye movie also. I used to watch him when
I was little. I'm sure most people would watch it too.
It goes to show Sony is creatively bankrupt and scraping the bottom of the barrel.
I hope Emoji movie bombs so bad, Sony loses money and goes out of business.
edit: The Popeye movie has been cancelled; Genndy has released his pet project, "Samurai
Jack" for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block.
