Still one of the worst storylines ever written for an animation movie
>>
>>215102496
what is the storyline
>>
>>215102496
you care more about this movie than anybody else on this board
>>
>>215102496
>sin…. BAD
>>
They didn't use acrylics in this movie like in the previous ones (Prince of Egypt, Road to El Dorado, Spirit)
>>
>OP got cucked by his gf
>>
>>
>>215102606
From top of my mind:
>Simbad is a pirate
>his friend is a merchant (?) of sacred island
>his friend invited him to the island as he is about to get married
>a goddess steals a holy orb from the island and frames Simbat for it
>Simbat is arrested by the authorities
>but Simbat's friends swear that Simbat didn't do it, and take his place in prison
>Simbat is then released, and he swears he will return the orb, if he can't do it in a few days, Simbad's friend gets executed
>Simbat sails to meet the goddess, but Simbat's friend's wife sneaks aboard to help him
>during the voyage, the wife falls in love with Simbat
>Simbat retrieves the orb and returns it to the island, saving his friend's life
>But the wife decides to cuck her husband, and leaves to be a pirate with Simbat

So, happy ending for everyone except the friend who got cucked for saving his friend's life
>>
>>215103481
Didn't know the prince of egypt also bombed
>>
>>215103528
It didn't. They just expected slightly better numbers
>>
>>215103486
Brutal. It never even began for righteouscels.
>>
>Antz: 90 million

>The Prince of Egypt: 101 million

>The Road to El Dorado: 50 million

>Shrek: 268 million

>Spirit: 73 million

>Sinbad: 26 million

Domestic box office results. It's obvious why DreamWorks inmediately became a "CGI movies only" studio afterwards.
>>
>>215103548
>Unknown to him, Proteus sees that Marina has fallen in love with Sinbad and life on the sea, and releases her from their engagement, sending her to join Sinbad's ship
What absolute cuck
>>
>>215103632
weren't all those flops (minus Shrek)?
Like even Prince of Egypt barely made its budget back
>>
>>215103548
This movie made me misogynistic even at a young age
>>
>>215103481
Wow, I had no idea it was this bad. I thought Sindbad was underwhelming overall, but not as bad to earn this response. Prince of Egypt and El Dorado were great and have gained a cult following with the years.

Sometimes you have great ingredients and it just doesn't land. The timing was bad, that kind of adventure was already getting out of style, to compete with Finding Nemo would be impossible too. The movie was 6/10, but animation takes such a load of work, I totally understand the guy breaking down after such a failure.
>>
You zoomers like Shrek. I'll stick with my tradigital kino. Thanks for not ruining this one with video essay faggotry like you usually do.

DreamWorks embarrassed itself in 2003 with the failure of Sinbad, but it was able to swiftly recover in 2004 with these movies
>>
>>215103925
You can tell this was the point where they stopped trying to compete with Pixar and just ended up making slop after slop
>>
>>215103925
Shark Tale was a complicated production
>>
>>215103945
You speak as if Sinbad isn't digitally colored slop with a bad storyline, lame quips, and CGI that was already dated in 2003
>>
>give me that rickety grocery store stand with 3 dollar vhs tapes look
>>
>>215103925
They peaked at Antz
>>
Spirit is a good movie tho
>>
Glad that DreamWorks didn't greenlight a videogame for this movie (unlike all their other 1998-2013 movies)
>>
>>215104503
The one that Sinbad got is quite shit. Only for PC
>>
>>215103988
What book is this?
>>
>>215104135
All true, but there are still moments of creativity with the artists peeking through, like how they did all the Eris scenes.

>her only goal is to cause some "glorious chaos" just for the hell of it
Not a very interesting villain
>>
>>215106249
No, but I'm mainly talking about how they animated her.
>>
>>215102496
He should have married the evil giant lady
>>
The story is meh but the ending is great. Eris and the score carry the movie hard
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH1qmu42tiw
>>
I can't give much praise to the animation of Sinbad. Compared to what Disney unveiled a few months before, it's not great. Clearly a smaller budget and staff.
>>
>>215106249
Honestly after decades of capes hit with villain after villain having some sad story about their motivation, "evil for the lulz" is quite refreshing. Watch fucking Doctor Doom having some fucking stupid family or social group related motivation too.
>>
>>215106461
You and people like you are everything wrong with the world.
>>
Eris didn't even live in Tartarus in the actual Greek mythology

That's all kino, you heretic. Peak Scorsese too.

Faggot.

A direct quote from daddy speaking to your mommy. Cool.

Almost there bud, workshop it just a little more.
>>
>>215106965
You mad, little guy? These are the weakest reposts I've seen in a while. Sad.
>>
>>215106503
Wrong, frustrated incels sharing their generic "wisdom" is. Totally obsolete as a human being.
>>
>>215107342
>Madagascar
That's a fun romp from start to finish
>>
>>215103632
Dumb what if question. Would Madagascar have worked as a 2D animated film if Sinbad had been a box office hit but not Shrek?
>>
>>215107342
Shrek alone already defined the trend, nothing was going to stop the digital content train. Ordinary animation is just much more expensive with smaller return and slower execution.
>>
>>
>>215107442
This is the only interesting part of the film.

New gif response to anything Hunter Schafer related just dropped.

Madagascar is great
>>
>>215102496
it was ok. on par with el dorado

>>215107442
why didn't they just plug their ears and tie themselves up like odysseus?
>>
>>215107667
So they're on the cargo boat from NYC and heading to Nairobi, Kenya. They get knocked off into the ocean and end up in Madagascar. So where did they fall off? Would the ship have used the Suez canal or did they go around southern Africa?
>>
>>215103486
Kek, I do remember thinking even as a kid that Sinbad was an absolute dick but I couldn’t remember why. Wild that this story got approved by the suits honestly.
>>
>>215107961
Because Odysseus is a crafty leader personally guided by the goddess of wisdom. Sinbad is a dick ass thief. He is not smart.
>>
>>215102496
I remember my mom pausing at some point just to go
>"...That's Brad Pitt? He has such a generic voice."
Being like maybe 10yo I had no idea who that was so now it's funny to me that my mom probably rented the movie to get to lowkey lust over Pitt's voice only to be disappointed.
>>
>>215107667
Awful. Awful artstyle. Awful animation. Awful cast. Awful characters. Awful commercials.
>>
>the voice cast is Will Smith, Jack Black, Renee Zellweger, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Angelina Jolie, Michael Imperioli, Ziggy Marley, Doug E. Doug, Vincent Pastore, Peter Falk, Katie Couric, Shelley Morrison, and a very young Bobb'e J. Thompson

>lyrical songs by Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott, Sean Paul, The Pussycat Dolls, Kool & the Gang, The Five Stairsteps, Ludacris, Mary J. Blige, Cheryl Lynn, JoJo, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Avant, Elvis Presley, India Arie, and D12

>italian-american mafia, a loan shark, a duo of jamaican enforcers, paying protection, a debt of 5 grand, a gold digger, horse racing, trunk shot, torture at a wasteland, on-screen death and corpse, an insane hobo who hides in garbage containers, graffiti-spraying kids, a character who is a queer metaphor, etc

>the logos of Coca-Cola, Burger King, GAP, Newsweek, Old Navy, Wired, Krispy Kreme, Virgin Records, and FQ are parodied

>the Rose painting from Titanic and the poster of The Ring are parodied

>the Jaws theme and the Benny Hill theme are heard

>the names of Tina Turner, Russell Crowe, Jessica Simpson, and Rod Stewart are mentioned as fish-themed puns

>lines from The Godfather, Gladiator, A Few Good Men, Jerry Maguire, Apocalypse Now, Die Hard, The Untouchables, Scarface and Goodfellas are referenced

>reference to the Oscar Mayer commercial that says "my baloney has a first name"

>the PlayStation brand is mentioned

>"Oscar, bumaye!" is chanted by a crowd as a reference to Muhammad Ali

>the main character briefly sings "U Can't Touch This" while doing the dance moves

>"Wind Beneath my Wings" is sang at a funeral

>"Baby Got Back" plays on a gramophone

>tons of slang, colloquial expressions, and idiomatic language

Unforgettable movie
