Advantages: A great story on a great disk. Disadvantages: Err, No.
...almost) I love them still. The mythic storyline, the battle between good and evil, it's about as much adventure I could get as a child. Sitting in front of the TV wide-eyed and mesmerised, ahh those were the days of innocence.
Anyway back to the film. This was a major release in Hollywood, one of the first modern fantasy films, in superb Technicolor. The film starts with Sinbad lost at sea in a thick mist. He spies an island through the fog and ... ...a hasty departure they find the man to be a sorcerer who was trying to steal a magic lamp from the Cyclops.

Advantages: Enjoyable, colourful fantasy romp. Superb stop motion Disadvantages: None

Review of The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad (DVD)

Advantages: Catch up on your Mythology Disadvantages: Old filming Effects sometimes make it a bit funny
...watch over and over again. The animation isn't up to today's standards maybe, but that gives it it's charm. And considering it was made in 1958 you can't ask for anything more.
The myths and saga's turn these films into a cult movie which I always tend to associate with the holiday periods, Christmas, Easter etc.
Do get this on Video for a perfect lazy Sunday afternoon on the sofa. An older generation, say those of 23 upwards and young kids too, ...
