Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is an animated movie 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.

Additional factoids:

  • Brad Pitt replaced Russell Crowe as the voice of Sinbad because Crowe was already filming another project.
  • Eris and Proteus did not appear in any of Sinbad's seven tales, and originate from Greek Mythology.
  • Sinbad is a 2D/CG animated movie, much like The Prince of Egypt and The Road To El Dorado.
  • 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 the first movie to be produced wholly using the Linux operating system.
  • In his seven tales, Sinbad is actually from Baghdad, not Greece.
