Popeye, como quase todos conhecem, é um personagem clássico dos quadrinhos, criado por E.C.Segar em 17 de janeiro de 1929, portanto, completando 85 anos, e adaptado para desenhos animados em 1933 pelos irmãos Dave e Max Fleischer. É um marinheiro carismático que está sempre tentando proteger sua namorada Olívia Palito, das garras de seu inimigo Brutus. Quando come espinafre, Popeye fica forte e confiante, podendo vencer qualquer desafio, tendo sua força equiparada e superior até ao poderoso Superman. Tem até uma vila em homenagem a ele: a Popeye Village, também conhecida como Sweethaven Village, é um grupo de rústicos e em ruínas edifícios de madeira localizados em Anchor Bay, no canto noroeste do Mediterrâneo, na ilha de Malta. Foi construído como um set de filmagem para a produção de 1980 - live-action - característica musical do filme Popeye, produzido pela Paramount Pictures e Walt Disney Productions e estrelado por Robin Williams. Hoje, é aberto ao público como um museu a céu aberto e um complexo de entretenimento familiar. Veja mais...
