Never really seen it. I think it was his take on anime culture.

This is what I said earlier about Feiss being unpredictable. He took a Korean cartoon about cute animals and redid it so the characters were corporate executives who were turned into animals for ruining the environment. And Flavor Flav played a major character.

Still just awesome like that
Reminds me of a particularly grating Johnny Bravo episode.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.

Yoohoo and Friends was totally watchable.
What happened was that the property had been picked up for an English dub, but the cartoon was insufferably sweet and really, really boring, so they approached Feiss to turn it into a licensed gag dub with some of his own bizarre animations added in, usually to the beginning and end of episodes.
It's awkward and weird in a lovable way, and there are some hilarious lines throughout.
Anyway, it's kind of weird to argue over whether a Medusa movie is "original." Nobody's ever done that before. There's no movie with Medusa as a protagonist. That's as original as any other property that exists; splitting even less hairs you can just say every character in existence is ripped off some sort of animal or human archetype.

Lets try to get back on subject. If genndy's gone. Who's going to replace him as a director? If its on hold. Chances are Sony MIGHT(if they do, they better do this) put this on hold and let Genndy finish his original film before finishing up Popeye.

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping for. Let him do his original movie now, then when that's done, get him back to doing Popeye.
If sony is stupid and doesn't do that, and gives it to someone else who doesn't have the slightest clue about what Popeye is. All hope for this and my interest for this is lost.
Yeah, I can picture a lot of people reacting to that outcome with this:
True, I may be overusing that clip, but hey, it works.

So apparently Wiki Leaks got ahold of an email from a certain former chief to a certain former president at Sony...

I had a conversation with Genndy yesterday where he made it clear that he is concerned that if the studio doesn't move forward with Popeye that our commitment to animation and to him is not strong. He feels that his original ideas will never get made because of marketing concerns etc. His view is that Popeye is well known and loved around the world and his version will be modern in attitude, dialogue, comedy and action but the physical world should be timeless. The kids in the focus group were strong and worrying about a general audience who rarely attend animated features is misguided. They will come if the movie is funny and sticks to its DNA. When we show the test animation (on-line or in the focus groups) we get a very positive response.
He has been an amazing trooper on Hotel T 2 working through the Sandler camp's multiple notes, including to his animation choices. I think a word of support from you would be helpful. B

Does this mean that we may get popeye soon with a new director or wait until he is done with HT 2 And Imagine?
"We be we baby!"
Hard to say. The website I found this at (Animation Scoop) said this was from November of last year.
EDIT: As a side note, that e-mail makes me wonder what it's like for a guy like Gennedy to work with a guy like Adam Sandler...

Can't be worse than Will Ferrell and Kevin Heart working together.

Probably no worse than David Feiss working with Flavor Flav, or even John Kricfalusi with Miley Cyrus...
"They say I'm old fashioned, and live in the past, but sometimes I think progress progresses too fast."
On the HT audio commentary, Genndy said working with Adam Sandler was enjoyable. ..... buuuut of COURSE he'd say that, since it's coming from an official SONY product.
So it's possible that he said it just to appease them?
I don't know, Adam Sandler has a reputation of being one of the nicest people in Hollywood—he was apparently a treat to work with while making Eight Crazy Nights—so Genndy might be honest.
Shush, wet n lubricated
Popeye eh?
Back on topic, hope the movie's good even without genndy (assuming it's without genndy)

Reblog if you want Genndy Tartakovsky back on Popeye
.
We have the power, you guys.
If positive fan reaction is how we got the Deadpool movie, it's gonna get us Genndy back on Popeye.
Reblog the hell out this people.
That guy
Sure. Because, yknow, that always works.
Your momma's so dumb she thinks oral sex means talking dirty.
With all due respect, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything.
Well, truths are often not nice. That poster might often speak out of line or rudely, but I share his overall feelings on We have the power, you guys, being too optimistic when one is talking about reblogging of all things...
Deadpool got rescued mostly because FOX has a limited X-Men pool to draw from, compared to what the MCU gets, especially after the Sony alliance. This is hardly the same thing.
Of course, you can reblog all you want and probably should do so anyway if only to show Genndy we care, but it's better to keep reasonable expectations.

Point out a single "re-blog this" or "online petition" that's accomplished anything.
Hell, I'll be generous: point out two.
Your momma's so dumb she thinks oral sex means talking dirty.
I really hope it's better than Yoohoo and Friends. Boy, what a stinker.
