4.0 out of 5 stars better than the musical film in some ways, February 1, 2004

By	ERIC DAVID KATZ "I�m a left-handed, single, J... (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has many color pictures from the film. In some ways it's better than the film because it has extended versions of some scenes. It was made before the final cut of the movie. In the Roughhouse Cafe, the scene of Wimpy sitting down at a table with Popeye was supposed to be shown after the song "Everything Is Food" had finished. Those characters had helped to sing another song, "Everybody's Got To Eat." Before they'd joined each other, Popeye gave the taxman a dime for melancholia and mumbling [about his father, Poopdeck Pappy]! While Popeye told Wimpy his life story, the thugs, Mort, Spike, and Slug had laughed. Wimpy got nervous and moved away from the table. Popeye continued to talk to him. The thugs had teased him and started bullied 3 other customers. Since I'd bought this book before I saw the film, I was surprised when I didn't hear that other song or hear the cut lines! The movie would have been better if it had been a little longer.
