Making of Popeye Reanimated Collab

June gloom is hitting Burbank,CA as usual, but new Animateducated episodes are on the way to brighten your day. Here is the latest interview with German artist, Dirk Erik Schulz who recently released a reanimated collaboration project called "BBQ 4 Two".

Dirk enlisted the help of about 65 animators from all over the world to reanimate an old and not so good, Popeye cartoon of the same name. Each animator was giving a short segment of the old cartoon and enough time to animate in their own style. 

Here's the original 1960 Popeye cartoon that Dirk used and improved.

Here's a side by side comparision of the original and the reanimated version.


While Dirk is looking for new gigs, he has begun on another Popeye reanimate called "Popeye and the Phantom". Here is the orginal film he will be reanimating next.
