Default Popeye the Movie
I looked for a better place to put this post but couldn't find one so here it is!

I watched the Robin Williams movie last night and I had forgotten how much circus and clown style comedy is in it.

The soundtrack is amazing too and my all time favorite clown Bill Irwin has more screen time than I remembered. Below is a link to a bunch of clips and most of the songs from the film. If you haven't seen Popeye in a while check it out again now from a clown's perspective. It is brilliant!

Popeye the Movie

I saw it in a theater as a kid (real theater, too, old movie house), but didn't get it as I was just too young to appreciate. I should watch it again now as an adult.

Wasn't Avner in it, also?

If someone has access to a projector maybe we could rent it and show it at the Spring Fling.

You're welcome! If you can rent it definitely do so and I am sure it would go over like gang busters at the Spring Fling too. I don't think Avner is in it but I wouldn't be surprised!
