Wilco Create New Popeye Cartoon For Their New Video
The band Wilco have released a brand Popeye cartoon to accompany their new single Dawned On Me. You can explore the accompanying website here, or just watch the video below.
It's not even a knock off or a parody, this is a genuine new cartoon created with King Features Syndicate. And it's Wilco's first music video for twelve years...
as long as Betty Boop stays away from Lady Gaga and the like I hope this trend continues

Grunge isn't Dead, Just indifferent
Pretty cool... but the painfully sluggish pacing of the characters and awkward off-the-beat dancing of Olive makes me appreciate even more the old timers at Fleischer who did the originals.
Nice song... and the poster rocks.
Not quite up to snuff, I'm afraid. Sweet idea hamstrung by stiffness, over-repeated cycles and so-so models. There are so many animators out there doing better work than this - shame some of those didn't get the gig.
Love the band. Video was good. Could have been better, but I suspect there were some budgetary limitations.
Makes me want to pull out my popeye dvds.
Just saw Wilco in L.A. last night. Love these guys and love the song. Popeye's a strange choice, but I'll go with it for one of my favorite bands!
