[QUOTE="Azlan, post: 1003336, member: 2340"] I think seeing Sinbad: Legend of the 7 Seas on the big screen definitely enhances the experience. There is some truly beautiful artwork and panoramic scenery in this movie. Oh, and lots of swashbuckling action and battles with giant monsters, too. (Yes, sometimes the CGI animation didn't mesh perfectly with the regular animation, but it was still pretty good. Far better than Treasure Planet, IMHO.) My favorite scene in this movie is when Sinbad's ship is escaping from the rocky ravine / ships' graveyard, where the deathly seductive sirens dwell. (BTW: It appears they used real-life nude women as the basis of the animation for those sirens, which were like woman-shaped water wierds.) Another excellent scene is when the ship sails off the edge of the world, off into the underworld of Tartarus. Some exciting action and gorgeous imagery, here. You have to see these scenes on the big screen to truly appreciate them. I took my 4-year-old daughter to see this movie. (And, yes, she found parts of this movie rather scarey.)
