 Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
 Quote: Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is a 2003 American animated adventure film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by DreamWorks Pictures. The film, which combines traditional animation with some computer animation, was directed by Tim Johnson and Patrick Gilmore (in the latter's directorial debut) and written by John Logan, and stars the voices of Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Joseph Fiennes. It covers the story of Sinbad (voiced by Pitt), a pirate who travels the sea with his dog and his loyal crew, alongside Marina (voiced by Zeta-Jones), the fiancée of his childhood friend Prince Proteus (voiced by Fiennes), to recover the stolen Book of Peace from Eris (voiced by Pfeiffer) to save Proteus from accepting Sinbad's death sentence. The film blends elements from the One Thousand and One Nights and classical mythology.
The film was released on July 2, 2003 and received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the voice performances but criticized the CGI animation and storyline. Grossing $80.8 million on a $60 million budget, Sinbad was a box office bomb. DreamWorks suffered a $125 million loss on a string of films, which nearly bankrupted the company. It is, to date, the final DreamWorks Animation film to use traditional animation, as the studio abandoned it in favor of computer animation. DreamWorks did, however, bring 2D animation back for the 5-minute short film Bird Karma in 2018.

 Re: Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
This must have been the last film Dreamworks put into production before Shrek took over the company. It's very much like the early 2000 Disney films Atlantis and Treasure Planet, and just as forgettable. Nothing is bad persay. They have a funny dog, charming leads and dastardly villain. There's nothing really that great either. The movie just sails by and then its off on the horizon, Sinbad is framed for a crime he would have committed anyways, then he saves the day while stealing his friend's fiance. Yay I guess?
Cish? Maybe C+, I dunno.

 Re: Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas
This isn’t bad, but it falls into a ton of tropes that were popular at the time and doesn’t do much with them. The film looks decent too considering its low budget, though its animation doesn’t hold a candle to the much more expensive Treasure Planet. The villain is entertaining to watch, though she reminded me of Ursula. Also it’s weird that Sinbad is portrayed as a hero while stealing his friends fiancee. Mostly entertaining action scenes but the story and characters let it down.
