I don't know yet. I'm workin' on it. Marina:

A Beautiful Animated Odyssey
Rating: 9/10
"Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas" is a wonderful animated feature by
Dreamworks. This under-rated movie was very well done with eye-catching
visuals and an intriguing story. The scenes of the battle against the sea
monster, and the visit to Eris' realm in Tartarus are particularly artistic.
Granted, the legend of Sinbad may have been taken far from its "Arabian
Nights" roots to go more towards Greek mythology. But all the mythic
elements make the story a thing of wonder. Personally, I think every
mythology and folklore canon in the world has some connections with each
other, so who's to say that Middle Eastern folklore doesn't share any
similarities with Greek mythology? Anyway, "Sinbad" truly deserves to be
seen and enjoyed!
