Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is an animated film produced by DreamWorks SKG and released in 2003. It follows an Arabian sailor named Sinbad on a quest to find the legendary Book of Peace, a mysterious artifact that Eris, the goddess of chaos, has framed him for stealing.
Voices for the movie were provided by Brad Pitt (Sinbad), Catherine Zeta-Jones (Marina), Michelle Pfeiffer (Eris), Joseph Fiennes (Proteus), Dennis Haysbert (Kale), Adriano Giannini (Rat), and Timothy West (King Dymas) among others.
The movie was a commercial failure.
Additional factoids:
- Brad Pitt replaced Russell Crowe as the voice of Sinbad because Crowe was already filming another project.
- Christine Baranski studied with the great English voice expert Patsy Rodenberg, in order to lower her register about an octave for the deep voice of Sinbad's villainess. But the role eventually went to the more bankable Michelle Pfeiffer.
- Sinbad is a 2D/CG animated movie, much like The Prince of Egypt and The Road To El Dorado.
- Sinbad is the first movie to be produced wholly using the Linux operating system.
- Eris and Proteus did not appear in any of Sinbad's seven tales in 1001 Nights, and originate from greek mythology.
- In the original 1001 Nights, Sinbad is actually from Baghdad, not Greece.
