⚓ Plot Summary
In this modern retelling, the spinach‑powered sailor Popeye returns to his beloved town of Sweethaven after years at sea. When the nefarious Bluto rolls into town with plans to seize Sweethaven’s docks and turn them into a luxury resort, Popeye must reunite with Olive Oyl, her return‑home‑for‑the‑holidays, and Wimpy, the burger‑loving sidekick, to defend their home and its people.
Through slapstick adventure, nautical hijinks, and musical numbers that echo classic campfire shanties, Popeye will face off against Bluto in feats of strength and heart. With help from Olive and a rambunctious crew of townsfolk, he discovers that true power comes from kindness, community,—and yes, a can of spinach.
