Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, an animated adventure from the DreamWorks studio, has little connection to the original fables from the Arabian Nights, but it's an entertaining romp none the less. Sinbad (voiced by the midwest vowels of Brad Pitt) gets commissioned by the wicked goddess Eris (Michelle Pfeiffer) to steal a magical book called the Book of Peace from the city of Syracuse--but the prince of Syracuse turns out to be a childhood friend of Sinbad's. So Eris steals the book herself and frames Sinbad, making the hero sail to the edge of the world to get it back, accompanied by Marina (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a woman he's secretly loved for years. The movie skilfully blends hand-drawn and computer images. The storyline is surprisingly well-constructed and actually has some thoughts about friendship and personal fibre, while providing all the swashbuckling, derring-do and cliffhangers the audience could want. --Bret Fetzer

What a great movie! Brad Pitt as the voice of Sinbad is excellent, his vocals bring so much energy to the role that you nearly forget you are watching an animated film.

The movie itself is very fast with great action scenes, wonderful animation (no less can be expected from that amazing DreamWorks team), great one-liners and an invloving story/adventure. The music and sound effects are excellent adding greatly to the enjoyment of this movie.

The DVD extras are very good indeed. There are a large number of games for the kids which should keep them entertained for several hours and several other features, including a 'making of'. This is a great family movie and a good watch on a slow Sunday afternoon.

Good film! Good film!
I loved it to bits.
I have always liked all the stories with gods and godesses and mythical beings, so the fact that they have made a film of it is very good news.
I especiallylike Aries - the godess of discord, and her cool morphing abilities!
It is definately worth buying this film!

Having Sinbad-mad kids we finally succumbed to buying them this DVD in the hope that they would like it. Well, contrary to many critics??? views that it is an animated adventure only for kids, I found the whole DVD delightfully entertaining with enough smart one-line quips to keep adults amused and plenty of swashbuckling battles of the goodies against the baddies to maintain 100% children attention.

Brad Pitt???s voice comes across extremely well, as does his Joseph Feinnes, but in my view the star voiceover was that of Michelle Pfieffer who plays the Eris, the goddess of Chaos who resides in the fantastic realm of Tartarus. She adds so much more to the character than either Pitt or Catharine Zeta Jones, perfecting a warm sensuality, a pinnacle of deviousness and a flash of brutality that leaves you almost hoping that Sinbad really does sail away to paradise with her.

The extras that come on the DVD are good??? Cyclops Island is a post-film preview of what Sinbad and Marina get up to on their subsequent adventures and the Making of Sinbad is entertaining.

No real downsides at all. A good buy.

I just love animated films and I loved this, there is no surprises in the film..It will make you smile. More for the kids this one

The overall view of this film was excellent. I took my 5 year old son to the cinema to watch this he sat rivited to his seat! This film is certainly one for the kids, even though I really enjoyed it as well. There was a good story line and great ending. I would certainly recommend anyone to go and get it!
