The 7th Voyage of Sinbad


IMDB
First time viewed: No
Current Release: No
Watched With: Myself

Some classic Ray Harryhausen animation. Love these old adventures. Score by Bernard Herrmann doesn't hurt either.

So this is the one with the evil magician, the genie, the shrunken princess and the dragon vs. cyclops battle. It's also the only Sinbad that doesn't have a beard. Not really my favourite one but still some cool stuff. This one still feels very 50's. It was the first full colour feature with Ray Harryhausen's effects.

The bad guy is so annoyingly passive. He is just part of the crew really and doesn't put up much of a fuss when things don't go his way. It's strange.

There's a cool Sinbad vs skeleton fight, which is improved upon greatly in the infamous Jason and the Argonauts battle. A lot of fun to be had, but I like the 2nd the most I think.
