Next is a remake of Popeye...except he won’t smoke a pipe, won’t have a ‘sqeenky’ eye, won’t eat his vegetables, won’t engage in violent encounters, and won’t be a he.

Other than that, Popeye will be the same cartoon millions of kids grew up with.

There was a compilation of old Popeye cartoons released on DVD.

The set contained a WARNING LABEL stating that the content was for adult collector interest only and not suitable for minors.

Teen Wolf is being remade with a girl lead

Red Dawn is being remade with I could only guess what liberal messages

A-Team is on the way... trailer looks pretty good.

Nothing original coming, you can bet on that

Well they did do a live action version of Popeye in 1980 or so with Robin Williams and Shelly Duvall. Never saw, prob just as well.

Let’s remake an old cartoon-hits Hollywood again

Space Jam
Looney Tunes Back in Action
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (OK, that one was GOOD)
Scooby Doo
Boris and Natasha (with moose and squirrel)

Jetsons: The Movie (they replaced the orig voice of
Judy with Tiffany...)

Flintstones & Flint 2 Viva Rock Vegas (think that was the title)
Dennis the Menace

There are plans for a live action/cartoon blend of Yogi Bear

Actually, there was a late 70’s incarnation of Popeye called “The All-New Popeye Hour” that wasn’t too far from your description. I think he still ate spinach, but there was no fighting, none of the slapstick humor, and every episode had some sort of public service message written into it. For instance, one of Popeye’s nephews learns the important lesson of crossing the street safely.

BTW, there was another cartoon about that time that was even MORE PC. There was a show based on King Features Syndicate characters (Alley Oop, etc) that used every episode to teach (read: indoctrinate) the kiddies. I still remember the episode where Brunhilde the Witch had to have an intervention because of her excessive drinking. <— (I swear I am not making that up!)

Popeye was gay. From his Querelle de Brest clothes (would have fit in well along the west side piers back in the 1970s) his love for a boyish woman, and his fascination with butch Bluto/Brutus, its kinda obvious. I also believe that Sweet Pea was conceived via artificial insemination.
