Give that guy a raise
"The sailor of legend is framed by the goddess Eris for the theft of the Book of Peace, and must travel to her realm at the end of the world to retrieve it and save the life of his childhood friend Prince Proteus."
Patrick Gilmore (producer of The Lion King, Aladdin, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Pocahontas, and The Rocketeer) teams with Tim Johnson (Antz) to direct this marvelous, extremely underrated film. The story line was extremely fun though intense at times. I loved the different animated creatures that attacked our heroes. I truly wish this movie had turned out to be a blockbuster that provided sequels (only if the same cast could have been kept together).
Yes, Sinbad has an all-star cast featuring Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Michelle Pfeiffer. They work extremely well together, and their parts were pieced together nicely, like they were all in the same studio together. Their performances were very good, I mean it was a cartoon, so it's not Brad Pitt in Seven, I wouldn't call it brilliant, but it flowed nicely.
The action scene in the beginning was fabulous. I loved the animated fight scene concluding with a harpooned squid. That action sequence was amazing, disappointingly, there was not another fight scene with as much intensity in the film. That was my only qualm with the movie.
Spike, the animated dog in the film was my favorite character. He provided comic relief, direction, and displayed the feelings of the crew. Spike was a very well done character in Sinbad.
In the end, this is a must have in your DVD collection. I loved this film, and felt it was marketed incorrectly. This should have been a hit. Maybe not as big as Shrek, but at least in the same manner as "The Incredibles." I thought this cartoon was a delight, and loved the subject matter, characters, story, and plot.
Grade: A-
Very enjoyable
4 seconds into the film and that Godess was already my favorite character. The characters have alot of personality, and I was happy to finally see an animated movie done in a more traditional way, without this "CGI" overload garbage (which I hate, by the way.) The scene with the Sirens was very nicely executed. Anyway, find it for a decent price and enjoy.
A highly underrated animated adventure on DVD!
This is the story of the famed storybook sailor Sinbad who has a crew including a beautiful woman who sail from far oceans, battling many beasts, and have to get a magical sacred book from the super sexy but deadly goddess "Iris".
A wonderful and entertaining animated romp that unfortunately was a dud at the box-office but still is quite a delightful Dreamworks made animated fantasy romp with the voices of Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta Jones, Michelle Pfiefer and Joseph Fiennes and has some great artwork&CGI effects to blend in with it.
The DVD is quite good with good picture, commentary by the filmmakers, behind the scenes featurettes, a fun game, and art gallery, this is a must have movie if you love animation.
