Line 5:
A [[Lighter and Softer]] re-imagining of the famous ''[[Sinbad the Sailor|Sinbad]]'' stories by Dreamworks Animation, making use of a [[Visual Effects of Awesome|transitional blend between traditional and 3-D computer animation]].
Sinbad - in this version a [[Loveable Rogue|charming pirate captain]] - is on a quest to steal the legendary [[MacGuffin|Book of Peace]] and take it for ransom. However, when he attacks the ship carrying The Book, he runs into [[Fire
However, Eris then steals the Book herself and frames Sinbad for the robbery, getting him arrested and sentenced to execution. Proteus takes Sinbad's place in prison, pleading to the Council that Sinbad be allowed to prove his innocence by stealing the Book back from Eris. If Sinbad fails or does not return, Proteus offers himself to be executed instead.
Line 19:
* [[Action Girl]]: Marina.
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: All of the crew, really. Some look Greek, some Arabic, some Asian. Rat ''looks'' Hispanic, but he actually speaks Italian.
* [[Anti
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: Kale doesn't buy Sinbad's story of his encounter with Eris. After saving a boat with a magical book inside from a gigantic sea monster. (It might have helped if Sinbad had not opted to describe the encounter as "Eris has a thing for me and invited me back to her place.")
* [[Attack of the 50 Foot Whatever]]: Happens at least three times during the course of the film. Four if you count Eris' pets.
Line 50:
* [[Evil Plan]]: Near the end, Sinbad figures out Eris' goal. {{spoiler|Kill off Syracuse's heir and thereby cause a succession crisis: guaranteed discord.}}
* [[Fan Disservice]]: "Come and GET IT, ladies!"
* [[Fire
* [[Genre Killer]]: The film's low financial success caused Dreamworks to abandon 2D animation completely, turning to CGI movies such as ''[[Shrek]]''. Interestingly, the 2002 ''[[Treasure Planet]]'' did the ''exact same thing'' to Disney, causing them to leave traditional animation for the Computer-generated variety. These two events combined might be why this blend of animation has never been seen since. However, as mentioned above, both movies have since achieved moderate "cult hit" status, suggesting there might be [[Animation Age Ghetto|some other reason]] for their less-than-stellar financial performance.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Oh, so many times.
Line 81:
'''Sinbad:''' Wait a minute. I didn't lie. }}
* {{spoiler|[[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Proteus}}
* [[
* [[Knife Nut]]: Sinbad is a good version. He'll use swords as well, but prefers his knives. This backfires on him when Eris uses one to frame him for the book's theft.
* [[Left the Background Music On]]: Marina wonders what that sound is...
* [[Leitmotif]]: Eris has one, and it's [[Crowning Music of Awesome|awesome]]. Tut-tut-tun-tun! with a [[One
** Sinbad also has a particularly badass piratey-sounding one, which kicks in every time he carries out an [[Indy Ploy]].
** And in the scene where Eris {{spoiler|disguises as}} Sinbad to steal the Book of Peace, the two Leitmotifs dance together and intertwine.
Line 98:
'''Rat:''' [[Gratuitous Italian|"Non ci posso credere, non ci posso credere mi hanno fregato ancora!"]]<ref>""I cannot believe, I cannot believe I was cheated again!"</ref> }}
* [[Oh Crap]]: Everyone gets one when Eris shows up at the end.
* [[One
* [[Our Monsters Are Different]]: Boy howdy, although this is more readily apparent in the production sketches (which are by the same fellow who designed the dragons in ''[[How to Train Your Dragon]]'' and can be seen on the DVD.) Cetus looks like a combination of everything in the fisherman's platter. The Roc looks a bit more owlish than usual and can run about on all fours like a vampire bat. The Cyclops, had they appeared in the film, would have either been crab-men or fish-people.
* [[Parental Bonus]]: When Marina is in Sinbad's cabin:
Line 109:
* [[Race Against Time]]: Proteus' execution draws near...
* [[The Reveal]]: {{spoiler|We don't know what caused Sinbad and Proteus to fall out until the beginning of the third act when Sinbad reveals he saw Proteus meet Marina at the dock for their arranged marriage. Rather than stay and resent his best friend, Sinbad chose to to leave.}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Done not so subtly with Proteus and Sinbad. They even ''dress in blue and red clothing!''
* [[Sadistic Choice]]: [[Armor
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The backgrounds are truly breathtaking.
* [[Shapeshifting]]: Eris, who is able to change her appearance when it suits her best.
Line 123:
* [[Walking Shirtless Scene]]: Rat and Kale. Mostly Kale.
{{quote| '''Sinbad:''' Oh, get a shirt on, before you poke someone's eye out!}}
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Eris gives one to Sinbad about his [[Designated Hero]] status.
