DreamMachine Episode 9: Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

In this episode of DreamMachine, Patricia and Arun discuss about the last 2D animated film to be released by DreamWorks,: the 2003 movie Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas. It focuses on Sinbad the Sailor and his crew attempting to steal The Book of Peace, but is shocked when he learned that it's been protected by his best friend, the Prince of Syracuse. When Sinbad was rescued by the Goddess of Discord named Eris when he was drawn underwater, she asks him to steal the book in return. Refusing to steal it, Eris disguises himself as Sinbad and steals the book. Sinbad is sentenced to death, but the Prince decides to take his place until he returns with the book and even sends his fiancee Marina to help him. Will Sinbad and his crew retrieve the book in time? What adventures await the journey to locate Eris?  When the movie premiered in theaters, it was a modest success making $80 million dollars on a $60 million dollar budget and had received mixed to negative reviews from critics. The movie was the first to be processed with a Linux operating system and using 3D backgrounds with 2D characters. How well does it hold up today? Was there a reason that Sinbad was the last 2D animated DreamWorks film? Listen and find out.
