Plot

Popeye is on a quest to find his missing father Poopdeck Pappy. Popeye is dogged by nightmares warning him that his Pappy, who abandoned him as a child, is in danger and needs him, so he bravely sets out on the open sea to find his long-lost father. Accompanied by the admiring Olive Oyl, the brawny Bluto, and little Swee'Pea, he heads for the Sea of Mystery, which happens to be in the evil Sea Hag’s domain. Strange things begin to happen along the way, as the group encounters sirens, serpents, and menacing mists.

  • Billy West as Popeye and Poopdeck Pappy
  • Tabitha St. Germain as Olive Oyl and Swee'Pea
  • Garry Chalk as Bluto

    • Production

    Originally this special was going to be a Claymation feature by Will Vinton, but due to Vinton losing his studio due to financial reasons in 2002 the special was picked up by Mainframe Entertainment.

    Billy West described the production as "the hardest job I ever did, ever" and the voice of Popeye as "like a buzzsaw in your throat."
