SINBAD: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS (Theatrical Release USA 2003)

 Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas—the last drawn animation of DreamWorks before going to computer animation—relies on well-chosen voicing talent and a good script. It deserves its watch. The character animation is very good for drawn, animated movies of the early 2000 era and defines the peak of that art.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Yes. The movie, solidly written, serves as a good child/adult share. Some of the metaphors used may need some explanation before watching for the younger child to gather meaning from the film. Wikipedia provides a plot line for this film.
