Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)


DreamWorks Pictures
Directed by Patrick Gilmore and Tim Johnson
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, DreamWorks)

Pirate Sinbad makes a bargain with goddess Eris to retrieve a magical book. When he doesn't, she impersonates him and steals the book herself, leading Sinbad to be sentenced to death for a crime he didn't commit. He must overcome a series of obstacles to get the book back or be executed. He gets plenty of help from the pretty fiance of his best friend, who loves the sea as much as he does. They fall in love, get the book and save the kingdom. Somewhat maligned animated film blends traditional animation with CGI, and manages to be quite entertaining despite some weak voice work, particularly from Brad Pitt as Sinbad, who is completely forgettable.
