Starring Everyone's Favorite Spinach-Eating Cartoon Sailor Hero!

Bring family, friends, a blanket, and a picnic supper for a delightful evening under the stars at Independence Seaport Museum's "Seaport Starlight Cinema" outdoor amphitheater this summer.

Walk down the red carpet -- really! -- and enjoy a "reel extravaganza" of old-time Popeye cartoons on Tuesday, July 21, and the whimsical live 1980 feature film Popeye starring Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall on Tuesday, August 18.

Both nights will feature free popcorn and special events such as trivia contests, awards, give-aways, and a life-size Popeye cutout to pose with -- bring your camera!

Tuesday, July 21
POPEYE -- Greatest Tall Tales and Heroic Adventures

See a selection of old-time Popeye cartoon favorites with a fun-packed intermission of trivia contests (with mini "Oscar" awards) and give-aways, including colorful star necklaces! Kids will love the cartoon action and Moms and Dads will enjoy the trip down memory lane!

 

Tuesday, August 18
Popeye

It will be madcap mayhem at the Popeye film with audience participation a la The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Come dressed as your favorite Popeye character, such as Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto, Swee'pea, Wimpy, Poopdeck Pappy or any of the cartoon's characters, and compete in a contest for the rare and coveted Golden Can of Spinach Award!

Audience members will be given all kinds of fun "props" to interact with the movie, including green confetti to throw at the sight of spinach, bubbles to blow every time Popeye smokes his pipe, kazoos to play whenever a character breaks out in song, and more.

 

Movies begin at sunset, and at just $5 a person, plus free popcorn, they're a cheap date! Movies are held rain or shine; in the event of inclement weather, the movies will be shown inside the Museum's Concert Hall.
