Premise : Eris,
the terrifying goddess of Chaos, has stolen the Book of Peace and framed Sinbad
for the crime! To prove his innocence, Sinbad journeys to the realm beyond the
world to steal back the book. Eris tries to stop him by sending horrific beasts
to attack him. One of the monsters she call down from the sky is Scorpius, an
enormous scorpion with crushing claws; another is Serpens, a huge, slithering
serpent from the sky; and a third one is the chilling Roc, a 40-foot tall bird
of prey that is made entirely of ice and snow. Will Sinbad defeat all the monsters
and reclaim the Book of Peace from the powerful goddess.

(April 21st, 2003) Finally, we
see some footage from the film. The international and domestic trailers are now
online in quicktime and windows media respectively. I haven't seen the domestic
trailer because of problems on the system but the international trailer rocks
in every aspect. Character animation and CGI monsters are stunning. See the footage
at Yahoo and international
one at UIP.de.
(April 17th, 2003) A fan emailed
to Animated Movies the description of 'Sinbad' trailer which he saw in front of
'Dreamcatcher'. It is totally positioned as an action comedy,
with a voice over saying something like 'This summer, no mountain will be too
high [view of Sinbad from the back, he is climbing a snowy mountain, the camera
zooms out, you can see he is way up high, says the scooper. Read the full
description under Animated Movies April 16 update. Thanks to 'Henry'.
(April 14th, 2003) Looks like
DreamWorks is finally rolling it's wheels on Sinbad promotion. Last night, Entertainment
Tonight ran special interview clips with Brad Pitt and Michelle Pfeiffer that
can also be watched on their website. Eris is very amused
by Sinbad and she toys with him, sort of like a cat and a mouse, comments
Pfeiffer who plays Eris the goddess.
(April 10th, 2003) As most of
you have noticed, this film is rated PG for some material that may not be suitable
to children. Also, the score will be composed by Harry Gregson-Williams who did
work on 'Antz' and Shrek
films.
(April 9th, 2003) Yet another
exclusive courtesy of DreamWorks Pictures
is the super hi-res advance sheet of 'Sinbad'. I absolutely love it, especially
the back drop image of Eris played Michelle Pfeiffer. Click on it for super large
version.

Pictures will have a weekly winner. I will have more details later this once the
contest starts.

(April 3rd, 2003) A raving in-depth
review has surfaced DarkHorizons that hails 'Sinbad' as
a well paced, excellently animated and wonderfully voiced. As a family we agreed
we would pay to see it again when officially released in the Summer here. As my
oldest child put it, "That was the best movie I've ever seen! Be sure
to read this detailed
review here.

(March 26th, 2003) The end of
March is upon us and still no marketing signs by DreamWorks of it's upcoming feature
'Sinbad'. According to a source, the film is still aimed for July or end of June
release. The reason for no advertisement? It is not as marketable as Shrek
and Spirit. The source,
however does say that this DreamWorks tale will have more adult humour than any
of it's past projects. It will be more like Road
to El Dorado but only better in terms of story and editing. Man, I can't wait
anymore to see the trailer. Come on DreamWorks, Show us the Trailer! Show us the
Trailer!
(March 20th, 2003) The following are two new book titles that will be released
in June provided the film's release date remains the same. First title is an Adventure
Fun Book filled with stickers and the second, a junior novelization loaded with
pictures. Order them now.
(March 18th, 2003) AICN received
another rave review of 'Sinbad' today which declares it as a movie
will bring 2-D animation back to life. The part that stood out for the
reviewers was the villian Eris played by Michelle Pfeiffer. She
is ruthless, sexy and funny, says the reviewer. Read
the full review here.
(March 17th, 2003) Provided that
DreamWorks still has July 2nd as the release date for their latest adventure,
overseas schedule is now available at IMDB.com. Check
it out.
(March 12th, 2003) It is about
time that Sinbad comes to life. The DreamWorks animated feature is due on July
2nd and the first sign of that was seen yesterday when Moogle X sent a test screening
review of Sinbad to AICN. The reviewer enjoyed this new venture from SKG and comments,
my feelings about SINBAD up until today could best be described
as “wary optimism”. A pure animated adventure movie, its scope and
wonder unrestricted by such annoyances as money, physics, safety, or reality,
could be a film lover’s dream. That sounds good but we are still
not sure if the film is still aimed for July 2nd or summer release for that matter.
If we don't see a trailer by the end of this month, I think DreamWorks should
hold on to this one until Thanksgiving or Christmas. Read the spoiler
featured review.
(March 4th, 2003) A detailed
premise is out thanks to Hasbro Toys of 'Sinbad' which you can read in the right
column above. This story first appeared in DarkHorizons.
(February 27th, 2003) DreamWorks
is one of the few studios which observes it's fan base on regular basis and make
that the deciding factor in creating special events. Since the release of the
film, young fans over on this fansite have submitted some great work which has
piled the fan art section to almost ten pages. That could be the partial reason
that the studio is holding a 'Draw Your Own Spirit Contest' where kids from ages
2-12 will be able to submit their own Spirit Drawings to one of the world's leading
animators, James Baxter. On March 2nd, you can take your kids, nephews or nieces
to Westwood, California for this special event and attend the free screening of
Spirit Stallion of Cimarron. Grand Prize winners will get their work published
in L.A. Times and a private pass to the screening of Sinbad
Seven Legend of Seas. Get more details at DreamWork
SKG Fansite.

(February 18th, 2003) In the
upcoming issue of Forbes Magazine, DreamWorks past, present and future is highlighted
in an in-depth article. While discussing various animated features, Katzenberg
spoke a little about Marina, our lead heroin in the film. She
is the most compelling, kick-ass female lead of an animated movie, ever.
For me, the most compelling animated heroin thus far is Esmeralda from 'Hunch
Back of Notre Damme'. You can learn about DreamWorks future animation and feature
film slate at

be composing the music for this adventureous tale of a legendary hero? I really

features and have a gift of creating magical music.
