Just wanted to say that 1. I love the sort of dreamy, slow background music you use (please I'm begging you tell us what they are because they're good), 2. I have a short attention span, but your wording, pace, and tone? Amazing, you've been able to get me to sit and watch (and be enthralled) by several of your videos. Thank you so much for making them, they just have something so different and special from other videos (are they video essays? Idk, but the other ones out there are predominantly so angry in some way, but yours are just wonderful).
Solid video once again. Just recommended your El Dorado video to someone on a CinemaWins video like a day or two ago. Stay healthy friends and a playlist of video music seems to be a popular request.
Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Road to El Dorado and Sinbad: these are the hidden gems of 2d animation. I see them every time as comfort movies together with the ones from studio ghibli I never get tired of them.
@@wolftownesqueadventure, sci fi and action are such underestimated genres in the animated scene in early 2000. Titan A. E. was an interesting movie too but it didn't even reach the cinema here, I saw all these movies on HBO or rented the dvds.
Not sure of the timeline, but was this almost paired directly with the release and box office bomb of Treasure Planet? Another amazing, early 00's, pirate-themed movie that did poorly at the box office.
@@shaygarden9831 I presume it's failure was at least in part due to the films that were released around the same time. Personally, I'd say this one is far more enjoyable than _Finding Nemo_ but marketing got people in seats and _Sinbad_ got lost in the shuffle.
Jack Sparrow refusing to ferry slaves under contract of the British empire is powerful. I never knew about that deleted scene. That is such a good character trait. Goddamn it House of Mouse!
It's so much better than the... always being a pirate and getting a hat early on like Indiana Jones or something we got in 5. I'm mad we didn't get it now.
@Alias Fakename well i think that's why they scrapped that line of dialog about slave trading in the third film alltogether - to not make that sort of incosistancies in character that tried to do involanteraly servitude to others in second film (even if they are bad people and might be deserve it) but declaring that slave trading is bad in third movie. It might be good fo character development for both characters and their views on one hand but on the other might come of as "... but at least i'm not a nazi" moment for jack.
@Alias Fakename ok im a month late but, the 100 souls are a twist of irony by Davy Jones. When Jack Sparrow releases the slaves (100 of them to be exact) he doesn't escape the East India Trading Company, his ship is sunk and he is branded. He makes a deal with Davy Jones to get his ship back, and it is rebranded as the Black Pearl, but Davy Jones demands 100 souls in return, which as you can see through the 2nd and 3rd movie, Jack really isn't that interested in complying

Marina is another name for a harbour. Her name means she is caught between the shore and the sea. That was a good mirror to Sinbad being caught between being a thief and hero.
@@danielawesome36 In the original version of the script, she was in love with both Proteus and Sinbad. However, she was never in love with Proteus in the movie. She still fell in love with Sinbad, though.
It is an entire CRIME that this movie doesn't have the appreciation and large cult following it deserves. I remember watching that movie on VHS all the time as a kid and it RULED. I'd forgotten about it until now, so I rewatched it and it rules even more. The animation, visuals, art direction, music it's all *_chef's kiss_* impeccable. What I wouldn't give to see this movie with updated CGI
Can you blame the world though? The movie is gorgeous beyond words, but it is so, so, so straightforward. There is no any sort of intrigue, no any sort of twist, and no unique character. When you are telling a well worn story like this, ideally you want to put an unique spin to it. I remember and like the visuals (especially the Roc scene), but everything else is so forgettable.
IT IS. But can you really blame the world? Finding Nemo was just a month or two ahead of this. Those years were a bad time to release a 2D film if you aren't making a Disney Princess. 3D animation's novelty was too strong, especially when the quality was still growing. Its just that the film was a few years too late. OR too early seeing as how 2D animated film has been revived in recent years, albeit not as grand.
@@carloblanquisco5723 100% that movie was doomed before release to flop, largely bc of when it came out. At this point all i want is for it to get a belated cult following like other iconic movies that flopped on release. I wanna see mediocre cosplay at watch parties ffs!
I swear so many people are missing out on how good of an essayist this guy is just because they don't like long form media because I've trying to show this channel to like all of my friends and then they all say that they'll watch it later because it's so long not a criticism of you, I just need to get new friends because this shit is too good for me to keep to myself
Same problem here. Such such good videos but no one seems to be interested in long form media that isnt a movie or a TV series episode. I mean its sad but its their loss honestly. Love ya Breadsword
I started to watch this video because I had nothing to do. Then I suddenly started to recognize his voice and remembered the bombastic essay he made on Satoshi Kon, lol. I had a pleasant surprise basically.
I propose them as something to listen too like a podcast. Stick on in the background while washing dishes or playing a game where you can still see the screen. Once you start a breadsword video, you cant stop. And if the screen is visable and you can look up while you're doing something when he talks about the visual aspects of a scene, you'll get sucked in and stop what your doing to watch 😅
I know this is kinda stupid and small. But I love how Cetus, when making his entrance into the world of our protagonists, he could have made a smooth, grand entrance. But instead, he just belly flops into the ocean out of the dang sky. And nobody sees it. I just love it and I don't know why.
it's like a km long and fell from damn space but not a single dude from either ship, that mind you were kind of worried of finding other ships, saw it fall, it had never ocurred to me just how weird that was XD
@@beyondviolet It was still a big creature on an open ocean that fell out of the sky. You can't tellme you wouldn't see that. Regardless, I still find it funny.
@@shadowpuppet8192 if it was in the faraway distance I might not, I’m very easily distracted lol. Anyway I just looked up the intro and Cetus was literally dropped directly in their line if sight and they have a big crew so someone definitely should have noticed
The Extra-Pissed-Guy from LotR is actually an extra happy guy: "In "The Return of the King (2003)", during the epic scene of the Rohirrim Charge Peter Jackson requested that only extras who have read the novel and could recite the scene, to be placed in the front lines as they are aware of the importance of this moment. It's how he ended up with this epic rider."
Most of the riders are actually women with fake beards and helmets. The could not find enough male riders for the Rohirrim. To few New Zealand boys are into horseback riding.
It's a real shame Sinbad and El Dorado didnt do better at the box office. I love how these movies followed in the same animation style as Prince of Egypt, and it truly felt like Dreamworks brought something entirely unique to hand-drawn animation with these three movies. Everything from the visuals to the stories and complexities of it's characters gave audiences something they've rarely, if ever, seen throughout the Disney Renaissance.
“The pedestal is but revealed for a moment... and then is covered once more, by the wax and wane of the shifting sands. Maybe that’s why they imagined hell, as a desert.” Holy shit man ,,, Like I’m over here folding laundry and crying over the loss of pirate based media,,, what is happening??
I clicked this in dull curiosity as something to keep me entertained while eating a burrito, but breadsword's got me lamenting the inevitable grind of time and wishing to relive the wonder fuelled fantasies of a childhood I haven't thought about in 20 years. I'm either experiencing a sickening combo of nostalgia and despair, or really very bad heartburn
Breadsword has an amazing way of making you cherish through sadness. Building your excitement up throughout, and then hitting you with some truth. Somehow, it always feels hopeful afterwards.
Yes! This is the second video of his I've seen and have teared up at the end both times. I can hear his passion and how much he cares about these movies. Sinbad was one of my favorite movies growing up and I forgot how much I loved it. This video made me remember. This guy is so good at depicting emotion in his voice that he could probably be talking about something as meaningless as cheerios and I'd be crying.
@@SunDarling369 I agree. I watched 1 video by accident, Thank God for the autplay button, and I literally felt his passion for movies that are done well and omgoodness, I have never found any as passionate about something like this. Its genuinely beautiful and adorable.
When I was an animation student, I had a teacher who did the rigging (and I think animation?) for the ice bird (sorry haven’t seen the film in a long time so I can’t remember it’s name lol). When we were in class and he showed us an example of a demo reel by showing us his and I saw said ice bird, I lost my mind. I asked him if it was what I thought it was, and it was. So I told him “I LOVE that movie! The animation is so good in it!” and his response upset me very much so. “We’re still waiting to get that money back.”
@@DiamondsRexpensive he is probably talking about how the movie didn't make much money so they didn't really get what they bargained for, for a DreamWorks movie. I mean, if the movie took off imagine how rich he'd be.
I got to admit , when it came to DreamWorks 2d Animated films they felt a lot more unique and creative then what Disney had during the time(with the exception of Atlantis and Treasure planet), so it's kind of sad they never got to chance to convey thier true potential.
You kidding? That was Disney's best era: the long overdue return of Fantasia, their funniest feature ever in The Emperor's New Groove, their first truly original animated feature (not from Pixar) in Lilo & Stitch, and the last great pulp adventure movie in Atlantis. Dreamworks had some good shit too, but don't sell the House that Walt Built so short.
@@princesseville6889 a year late, but thats not exactly a sentiment that humanity as a whole has done away with. in our western civlization and the developed east? sure, slavery bad. but lots of other areas of the world still see humans as a means to make a profit and nothing else. if you need a quick example, search up how Nestle farms its cocoa beans.
When I was little, my internet cut out for a whole month and all I had was Sinbad on dvd. I watched it everyday, multiple times a day even, and eventually I memorized every single line and would recite them word for word. I memorized it so well I could play the movie out in my head as if I was watching it in my brain. Strangely enough I never got tired of Sinbad, and I would not pass a chance to watch it again to this day, it’s far from the best movie ever but it never gets old to me
Lol oh no! no internet is such a different problem I never dealt with as a little kid. We didn't even have cable so we had to go to Grandma's house to watch Nick,Disney, and etc but what we did was watch public broadcast which Saturday mornings were the best cause of the cartoons like Batman animated series which still holds up to this day 3 decades later but what we did other times was have a huge collection of vhs tapes that went all the way to the ceiling the entire wall, a small wall mind you but still so many vhs tapes. We would even use those vhs to build buildings for our toys like a stable as I did for my Barbie horses while having a vhs our parents were watching play in the background but we would end up watching as well too even if it was way too adult for us lol. No the worst thing that could happen was the tv or vhs player broke or your favorite tape but then instead we read our many books from the babysitters club, goosebumps to scary stories to tell in the dark or played with our many toys. All we had was basic crayons and not all the art supplies my kid has today and still ignores for the most part. No it was when our power was out the entire day or night cause someone hit a electric pole was the worst. Today it gets fixed within minutes but then it could be all day or all night with only candles and talking to each other to keep our sanity. I love my internet today don't get me wrong but I like once in awhile when for whatever reason the internet and etc goes out so I can tell my kid go read a book or get creative cause you guys get so helpless just losing the internet. I remember as a kid even when the power went out it was at least fun the first hour or so. No the worst was when your favorite vhs tapes finally broke from being played too many times and you didn't trust your parents to rebuy it 😅. Kinda miss those times cause we used to beg our parents to do anything with us like watch a Disney movie and now as a parent we beg our kids to watch a Disney movie or whatever with is instead of anything to do with TH-cam or video games. 😂. It's gonna be interesting once my kid has a kid....
@@gideonroos1188 oooh I stayed up well past midnight to one in the morning watching Disney channel or mtv daria and I remember waking up at 7 or 8 am watching cartoons on Nickelodeon, Disney, and etc at Grandma's house. Yup I was that kid that barely ran on sleep I was the last one out in sleep overs too and first one up as well. But now I swear I need 12-15 hours to sleep so I don't feel loopy especially if I dream cause I swear dreams don't mean rest for my ass. But at home I did go to bed around idk 10 pm or so cause I remember watching TV mini series with my parents like the Steven Kings the perfect storm and it being so damn important to record it cause of my dad and mom. But I remember one of my favorite vhs recordings were thumbelina and dragon world which alot of kids have seen thumbelina but not dragon world. My kid loves dragons and I found dragon world on TH-cam (you'll know it for being set in Scotland and the really good Jim Henson dark Crystal level puppet dragon) and I couldn't believe he loved it let alone got him to watch it with me! But then again my kid is such a dragon fan really worked in my favor! 😂 You might know it from being in the UK but idk how my parents came across it in America it's really rare any people knowing it here.
It was sort of glossed over, but the whole Eris creating a Sinbad skin suit and then putting it on - stuffing her essence into it - was one of the coolest ways she could have impersonated him. As always everything Eris did was beautifully animated.
Pirates of the Caribbean has my single favorite quote in relation to pirate films: "A ship is more than a keel and a hull and a deck and a sail, that's what a ship needs. But what a ship is... ().. is freedom" A pirate movie, a good one, is about the absolute thrill and joy and FREEDOM that Pirates represent. A pirates tale can go anywhere, but on the deck of a ship there is nothing but the wide open seas
same here. i recently found my old dvd of the movie with subtitles in my language and all and i kinda lost my shit, only to find out that it got scratched beyond repair by the kids we lent it to x) but no joke when i say that there's so much nostalgia tied to this movie for me that its one of, if not my personal favorite movie, i swear to god i'll die on this hill xD
Same, a lot of these adventure films allowed me and my dad to have middle ground in order to help me be introduced to other adventure films. These are the films that will be lost and found when the time is right for the next generation.
One Piece saving pirate cinema would be a dream come true, but given how much it has struggled to gain an audience in America... Think it was just a sign that for American cinema and content creators, pirate media is dead. "Dead men tell no tales", you know.
I think he means that pirate cinema is dead in mainstream western culture (and in that he is right, for now at least). But your point stands: there is always possibility for "pirate culture" to survive for a more niche audience (although, yeah, I know, manga is not exactly niche, but you get what I mean I suppose).
I love it when people talk about the things they're passionate about. Even if I don't have a huge understanding of the topic, just hearing them gush about it makes me so happy. Like it makes me believe there's something to live for, you know? Anyways, great video as always c:
Ha! where were you as a friend when I was a kid? 🤣 I had many people in my life ruin things I loved talking about even tho I was so excited and passionate about it.
I can't remember where, but I've heard recently that 2D animation likely suffered a sort of coordinated, intentional death at the hands of the Disney head at the time, who had it in his head that 3D animation was the future, that 2D animation would and should fail completely. Other companies copied the approach, because Disney. I can imagine Sinbad and Treasure Planet not doing well were probably a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, considering they still both have small but really dedicated fandoms and Pirates of the Caribbean not having this issue ended up being one of Disney's more lucrative franchises. I have no idea why Pirates of the Caribbean didn't manage to spawn more pirate movies, though, I'm still mad that it didn't.
Interesting. Considering the anti-poaching/wage cap scandal that embroiled the industry (and probably still does) I wouldn't put it past them (studio execs) to tank classical over CGI fare. But aside from The Iron Giant, most classically animated films of that era had terrible stories and are nigh unwatchable. I can imagine some execs pushing to enter production before the story had been fully fleshed out, while giving time for CGI films to develop. But that's probably hogwash, as Pixar had autonomy to polish a story before entering production and many studios would be loath to spend another year (financially) working on story. Pixar just dominated the industry so completely that even Disney's dedicated studio (Secret Lab or ...Circle 7?) made half baked junk just like Dreamworks and others. Well, whatever happened, most agree that Michael Eisner was an ass who did his best to destroy classical animation as a medium. Also that jackass that torpedoed Iron Giant. (Sidenote: There's so much to unpack about that era of animation, that I suspect Sinbad was supposed to be a fully CGI animated film, but human characters were just not workable. At least until Pixar developed the "base-man" (don't have the will to Google it) technology that underpinned the ability to make The Incredibles. So thank Brad Bird and his friends for making CGI films watchable. 😉)
@@zanemartin6699 Well, let's say North American classical style. It's also still popular in Europe. I'm a huge advocate for NA classical animation and it's never been dead-dead. Just relegated to a second/third class standing--in the North American industry.
"I've a lightening bolt stuck you in the chest, and you'll go "yes, that's it, that's what we were missing". And then... It too will recede. The pedestal is revealed but for a momentd...then is covered once more by the waxing wain of the shifting sand... Maybe thats why they imagined hell...as a desert." Holy cow, the whole video was a role coaster of emotion about a movie I loved as a kid, but those last lines were just phenomenal. Just like in the Tin Tin video, your able to convey the emotion so well. The endings always make me cry. I don't know how you do it.
I have so many great memories with this movie. At the time, my father had just been hired at Dreamworks shortly before the release of The Road to El Dorado, and I still remember clearly the day when he excitedly told me that the studio wanted to take animated films to the next level, and elementary schooler me was all in for it. I still have several early Dreamworks animation memorabilia, but all of my Sinbad stuff is super special to me. This is such a well-crafted film, and it's a shame how overlooked it is when it did well what other studios were so badly trying to also do - breathe life into their characters and give them meaningful arcs that make you forget that these are animated characters, not real-life actors. This was one of the films that really pushed me into appreciating the power of visual storytelling.
I was absolutely obsessed with this movie as a kid, my babysitter would play it for me at her house but I was never able to find it anywhere else because my parents had no idea what movie I was trying to describe to them so I'd convinced myself it was just a fever dream and not a real movie lol Thank you for bringing this back to me and showing Sinbad the love it deserves
I just rewatched Sinbad, and about the thing with the Cities... The Council of the Twelve Cities contains several members of different ethnicities. At least one of them appears to be asian, probably Chinese, two appear to be of middle eastern or african origin, and one large fellow with a thick red beard could be of germanic descent, or maybe russian. Maybe the Pact of the Twelve Cities, or whatever it's called, isn't so much a pact between twelve greek Cities, but rather an international one, similar to the UN.
Me Clicking on This Video Having Never Seen This Film: "There better be at least _one_ One Piece reference in here or I'll be disappointed." Me After Watching This Video: "One Piece? Never heard of it."
Eris deserves more praise in the animated movie villain pantheon. Also, loved the video. Even with my nostalgia glasses on, older animated movies dying at box offices does not equal it being a bad movie.
Damn, that analysis of Sinbad’s gut reactions when it comes to Marina is fascinating. He is actively faking disdain when nothing bad is going on, but when they’re thrown into perilous situations he IMMEDIATELY abandons this performance and initiates physical contact (holding her, carrying her, etc.) to protect her/lead her away from the danger. This shows how Sinbad is simply pretending to be this careless monster, and his true feelings come out when the people he cares about are being threatened. This applies to both Proteus and Marina. I used to watch this movie a lot when I was younger, and I never thought twice about it. I thought it was just a fun time. But this video made me realize just how layered this seemingly-simple pirate tale is, especially when it comes to Sinbad himself. Wonderful video. I immediately subscribed! 💖💖
You won't believe how many of my friends as an adult have never heard of this movie, much less seen it. I adore this DreamWorks classic and grew up with it. So I'm always baffled when I hear someone my age say they've never seen it. Love showing it off and introducing it. Love your video! So well done and giving this masterpiece the recognition it deserves!
I do feel like everything coming out of holywood in recent years is very... angry? I don't know how to explain it but everything feels so full of anger and resentment. Maybe if we find the root we can go back to a time when films filled me with hope and awe and less... finality and sadness.
We've hit a bump of nihilism that I hate, any time I try to enjoy some escapism I'm told to grow up and face the world, I'm here to watch a movie and escape I want fantasy not reality and I can't wait for escapism and joy to return to cinema
Those last ten minutes made me cry. This channel genuinely feels like a love letter to older movies and traditional animation and lets me feel close to these styles and movies that shaped my childhood. Thank you.
I hope you've heard this a hundred times before but oh my lord you can write. I saw this in my recommended thinking I could just play it in the background while I work, but boy was I wrong. You genuinely have a great talent for keeping people engaged both with your writing and passion. You deserve all the subs in the world! Now excuse me I'm gonna go watch my childhood.
It may have been a box office failure, but honestly this movie is phenomenal. I remember watching this movie on Cartoon Network many times. I remember the sheer excitement and joy. The beauty and adventure, the badass designs. I also remember having a crush on Rat but uhh.... we don't talk about that! Seriously this movie holds a special place in my heart. There's something about the adventure and environments that are so perfect. I honestly can't describe it, there's this almost nostalgic feeling, like this is how it should be
Genuinely brought tears to my eyes at the end. Sinbad was always one of those movies of my childhood I remember actually striking a different feeling into me. It hit me as this amazing movie for some reason I couldn't place, and I genuinely had a big love for pirates as a small kid. Now, I eventually shifted to Cowboys for a while after, and then ultimately space cowboys and my love for Star Wars. But Sinbad was always one of those movies that I reflect on with a lot of Nostalgia because I watched it all the time when I was little. Miss this style of animation, and it's a damn shame we never really get mature movies out of it due to animation being considered mostly for kids until the popularization of anime in the west recently. Great vid, I definitely love the vibe of the channel and would reccomend anyone reading this comment subscribe. This is another one where the creator puts a lot of effort into their videos because they have a genuine love for it, so I feel he deserves recognition.
I haven't seen this movie in years, and I don't think I know anybody else who saw it so it had faded into the back of my memory. You not only reminded me of a movie I loved as a child, you made a loving commentary about it filled with passion that had me sitting here crying about something I haven't thought about in well over a decade Auto like and subscribe.
Can you please do a video on Prince of Egypt? Or Atlantis: The Lost Empire? Atlantis is a personal favorite of mine and would love to see you cover it.
@@arditlika9388 Funny, for me the characters are among my favourite parts. The complexity and ambiguity of Rameses and Moses still draws me into their story every time; they feel so much more nuanced and well-developed than the standard animated lead
@@BlondeCurlsBlueEyes I didn't get that impression on re-watch. But I agree that they are more complex that standard leads. I guess I was expecting more, and probably I hyped it too much as a kid, and set myself up for dissapointment.
@@arditlika9388 Perhaps so. I don't have any nostalgia for it, personally. Only saw it for the first time in adulthood and it blew me away, but to each their own!
Watching this was like finding out years later that an old childhood friend was slowly tortured for hours by scoundrels and is now a vegetable. A longing pain that doesn't quite shake. Thanks again for another incredible video, Breadsword!
@@TheBiggestMoneyBoy 3d anime will never completely take over, 2d will always remain its hallmark. Though nowadays almost every anime makes use of 3d cgi in certain ways it is mostly done to fill in the blanks of animation (with some notorious examples of terrible 3d background characters, but it is mostly done so as to be unnoticeable) and only in certain cases does it take center stage (beastars, land of the lustrous, dorohedoro as well I think)
Highest selling manga of all time: about pirates Best Assassin's Creed game: about pirates Alan Moore's vision for the comic book world without superheroes: about pirates We really do need more things to be about pirates.
@Manek Iridius They regularly clash with authorities, they've deposed the rulers of several islands, they facilitated the largest prison break in living memory, and their entire goal is a treasure plundered from hundreds of world government affiliated countries. Pretty sure they stole some shit somewhere in there. They're close enough to pirates in deed that it doesn't matter.
"surrounded on all sides by the coalescence of their chromatic identities" Holy shit that line was so good. Thank you also for reminding me of this absolute gem. The whole essay was also extremely well structured, and I'm amazed at how you were able to tie in so much information about other stories, works, the real life background of he creators, and the wider media landscape. Also top tier jokes/references.
When I was a child and watched Sinbad for the first time and still as an adult I'm fascinated by the lightning lanters scene. It represents the start of an adventure. A ship leaving the port while the sun sets in the background and the crew getting ready for a new journey, a new adventure. Combined with that perfect score it's just amazing. It creates this feeling of exitement that I just can't put in to words.
Same for me with the scene in Treasure Planet where they're prepping the Legacy for launch and the score Howard did for that one. They're 2 different kinds of scenes, with Sinbad being a kind of quiet purpose, and Treasure Planet being like a kick in the arse, but both have this feeling of setting off for something unknown. Both still make me cry... and I'm 35.
I really wouldn't class Ramases as a villain, more of a tragic figure created by his upbringing and his own fears. Eris is the most flat-out, born to be bad evil villain.
Of this list, Titan AE is and will always be my absolute all-time favorite. With Atlantis landing in 2nd place. I love all four movies. But those are the top for me.
Wow, you had no rights going down as hard as you did, I was crying my eyes out in the end there. This was such a wonderful video to watch, and it felt like such a love letter to the movie. This was my favorite movie growing up and it breaks my heart that it didn't receive the recognition it deserved at the time. Thank you for reminding me once again just why I love this movie so much!!
Just watched your review of The Road to El Dorado yesterday and it made me rewatch the movie and I instantly thought about watching Sinbad afterward. Your reviews just have a way of making me want to relive my childhood I guess
these analysis videos are works of art in their own right. they bring you on a rollercoaster of emotion, rising in the middle with the blatant love of these films, only to leave you with an aching longing for what could have been in the end. i’ve never even seen sinbad or the black cauldron and i haven’t watched the road to el dorado, treasure planet, or howl’s moving castle in years and yet, it feels like i’ve known them and their bittersweet tragedy my whole life. breadsword, you make me want to write poetry. these are wonderful. thank you for the work and love you put into these. x
I don’t have like a point to this, but sinbad was one of my brother and I’s favourite movies growing up. We had it on DVD (we still might, time to climb into the attic to hunt) and for a while there it was watched at least once a week. My brother and I would (try to) imitate the sword fights and I was pretty much always trying to nail an impersonation of Eris (“places to go, things to destroy, stuff to steal” is tattooed into my brain I have said it so many times and I sTill cannot get it). I don’t remember much else surrounding it, but the people I know who saw it growing up overall have the same kind of stories and definitely the same affection for it. It’s honestly really sad that it was regarded as such a failure because it’s it’s wonderful! And the story is one that I still come back to some times. I genuinely think that even if you can simplify sinbad’s arc down to a “be true to yourself” message, it’s one of the best narratives to express it. In the face of gods and kings, telling him “this is what you are and all you will ever be”, despite internalising that idea, he proves them wrong. And it’s not because he’s some infallible good guy accidentally miscast as a scoundrel, it’s because the people around him, the crew, proteus, marina, love and believe in him and see him as more than that, more than he saw himself as, and so he starts to see and believe it too. And that has always stayed with me, and I think it’s an important story to share with kids. You can be more that what authorities define you as. It’s easy to be heartless and hard to let people in, but you have to, it’s how you grow. Also I love that the big act of rebellion against the system stops being “stealing this important magic book” and becomes the act of refusing to play the role it cast him as. The other thing that’s stayed with me is an undying love for Catherine Zeta Jones’ voice holy wow. Bonus shout out to how fluid Eris’ movement is it’s really beautiful to watch. Thank you for making this video, it’s brilliant. I have to climb into an attic now. Fiji? Fiji. Maybe Fiji will be our always.
i used to rewatch this movie so often as a kid that my mom hid the DVD so I could only watch it on my birthday and Christmas. I thought I was the only one who genuinely adored this movie I'm sooo glad you made this video
I freaking love the background music and how it creates a nostalgic feel. Thank you, Breadsword for uploading this vid. I used to really like this movie as a kid but couldn't really put to words what exactly it is that I like about it. Rewatching it last year I noticed that Marina and Proteus have a very respectful and kind relationship despite having polar interests in life.
you evoke such a mix of emotions with your essays... it's an animated children's film, a medium often dismissed (it only has one category in the oscars- really, we're lumping prince of egypt and ferngully 2 in the same category? really?), but that impacts us so much because it was a part of our formative years. you capture that childhood wonder and earnestness, while also pairing it with such a breadth of knowledge. the context you settle us into before starting the film analysis is so engaging it makes me want to watch all of these old films I've never heard of. and then i've heard flaws of this film reiterated ad nauseum, but your insistence on an unbridled enjoyment of the film just made me appreciate it so much more. and then that bittersweet end, that acknowledgement of company pandering to whoever will cut them the largest check and thus the loss of some narratives, thank you for confirming something i've noticed but couldn't articulate, as you did with the Tiana and Lottie note. it's this ability you have to balance the gravitas of an adult who bears the weight of all they have experienced with the child who yearns for that experience and revels in it. alsothewaythatyoureadOzymandiasmademewanttomarryyou
I lose my shit at 22:45 when you yell “like seriously bro what’s your fuckin problem” it’s the most honest reaction I’ve heard to something sad happening in a movie :)
This really is one of those movies that you watch, and afterwards feel will never see anything like it again, same goes for Treasure Planet(which I say is better by all regards but I think im just being painfully biased thanks to it being my all time favorite movie), Road to El Dorado, and the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Over the past 4 years, I've been writing a story that doesn't seem to want to have a final form yet, constantly trying to fight me because of how in depth I want the tale to be, to be in some resemblance of greatness as to the few I mentioned. But I feel detail may just be what I'm overdoing, especially after watching these videos. The one consistent thing in these tails isn't how they explain everything, isn't how high they stakes are, but what they simply tell. And that's a good story. It's always a phenomenal joy seeing you post videos, and always a bit insightful and inspiring on how I can change my narrative to be a more compelling and less messy story. Thanks for the video Bready, it means a lot to me and everyone else here(:
Huge Treasure Planet fan here myself. From my own writing experience, never give up working on it until it's finished, even if it feels overwhelming! Keep working at it, because over time, you'll get it to be better and better as you gain more experience on storytelling and the story YOU want to tell. And don't put the pressure of trying to get it to perfectly match your vision and scope. It doesn't need to be perfect for it to be complete. Best of luck on your story!
I had actually never seen Treasure Island or Sinbad as a kid when they were released. I don't know if they just didn't market it enough or what. I barely knew of their existence before watching your videos about them. Gonna get some copies and watch; they are truly beautiful. I really love love love Road to El Dorado so I'm sure this will be amazing too. Your videos are so nostalgic and they even contain the oft-forgotten part of nostalgia that is sadness. Sadness that this gorgeous hand-drawn animation is a bygone thing, or that our society is no longer in love with swashbuckling tales. I still think we always love a good antihero. In the end, that is what comes to mind when I think of pirates. We have found other ways to portray antiheroes. So maybe we actually haven't moved on, we just found more ways to express our fondness of scoundrels with a heart of gold. I love all of your videos. Thank you for making them!
I've been sitting here thinking about the last few minutes of this video. Even though we want to believe that art is eternal and can speak to anyone, even years after it's been made, the fact is that people change, they lose interest. People lost interest in noir, in musicals, in pirates, and as a result, they've fallen out of pop culture and aren't seen as much anymore. Hell, the last I heard of Sinbad was in the Magi anime. I watched 2 seasons of that show and remember so much of it but can't even remember if he was a pirate. But to say that the desert is hell isn't something I can stand behind. What greater gift could you possibly give than to be stuck in a world where glimpses of greatness lead to further exploration? This video alone is a small glimpse of what pirates have to offer to storytelling. Do you know the amount of people who will at least give pirates a chance because of this video? Who might discover a new love for them? The desert in the movie might be hell, but the desert of forgotten ideas and stories is quite possibly the furthest thing from it. It's an infinite expanse of the stories told by our predecessors, the building blocks of what art has evolved to and will continue to evolve to. And those small glimpses of what was, the curiosity and drive to uncover them and to see if they have a place in the modern day, is nothing short of amazing. Sure, maybe pirate cinema is dead. Maybe it'll come back. Maybe it won't. But the glimpse of greatness you saw and are sharing with us now won't be forgotten.
If there's one thing you can be absolutely sure of in entertainment, it's that things come in waves. Genres especially, to the point where it's probably best to wait at least 40 years before attempting to definitively say "[insert type of movie here] is dead". Audiences who loved trends and specific genres when they were kids will inevitably lose interest at some point before just as inevitably becoming nostalgic for the thing they once loved. The pirate genre in particular, in my opinion, has never really been anything close to "dead" since it first appeared as a film genre. It dips in and out of general popularity but there has definitely been a fairly steady stream of pirate-related media or media that prominently features pirate iconography from pretty much the 90s right up until now with a boom in popularity just after Sinbad was released.
This along with the road to eldorado are two of my absolute favourite animated movies! Thank you for capturing how beautiful it really is. I always get tears when you start describing all the amazing details about the film.
If the only thing that youtube algorith did right, was showing me your channel than so be it. Your essays are literally my go to way for sleep when I don't wanna read. The depth, the passion and the amount of work put into them are almost unmatched, and to think of that you did not reached at least 1 mil. subs yet, thats just plain insulting.
This was honestly beautiful. You got me feeling for a genre of movie I never thought about and gave me an appreciation for a movie I had all but forgotten about. Well done. Truly well done
Omg! My depression was taking over and I was just about to give up on feeling any positive emotions tonight and just go to bed, thank GOODNESS I checked my subscriptions before doing so! Let's go Bread! I don't even care if you have bad things to say about one of my favourite childhood movies, I'm just happy I get to listen to your voice tonight!
Wow, I have to say. This video of yours again made my heart flutter again. I loved this movie since a kid, being a part of my favourite VHS movie set I have (next to Road to Eldorado, Treasure Planet and Atlantis 1-2) and I always loved to go and see it back. Glad to see other people enjoying it as well as I have not seen a lot of it online and hearing as a teen that it underperformed when as a kid I thought it was part of one of those classics like Nemo, Lion King and so on. Great video and it made me appreciate the movie even more from other perspectives and the background I got into the Sinbad mythos and piracy.
oh also Proteus is the only character in the movie with visible tear ducts okay sorry love you goodnight

I like kungpow chicken. Hbu?
BREADSWORD yo could you by any chance send me the list of songs you use in your backgrounds?!??! I’m in love with them and need to hear them more lol
Just wanted to say that 1. I love the sort of dreamy, slow background music you use (please I'm begging you tell us what they are because they're good), 2. I have a short attention span, but your wording, pace, and tone? Amazing, you've been able to get me to sit and watch (and be enthralled) by several of your videos. Thank you so much for making them, they just have something so different and special from other videos (are they video essays? Idk, but the other ones out there are predominantly so angry in some way, but yours are just wonderful).
Solid video once again. Just recommended your El Dorado video to someone on a CinemaWins video like a day or two ago.
Stay healthy friends and a playlist of video music seems to be a popular request.
I used to rent this movie so often that my family joked about me having a crush on Sinbad. Jokes on them I had a crush on Eris
Same, ngl. She's kind of really hot in, like, an evil way.
Who didn't?
I remember the first time we rented it, and I remember it being the catalyst to many many re-rents and rewatches
didn't we all
That’s literally me
this review made me realise, that i don't want another "pirates of caraibbean" movie, i want another good movie about pirates
if , by any chance ,you haven't seen Black Sails, I highly recommend it.
@@Kolnos1551 "Crossbones", starring John Malkovich, should be added to that list.
yes!!!! more pirates!!!!!
Just play assassin's creed black flag
@@Kolnos1551 black sails is overrated.
Treasure Planet, Atlantis, Road to El Dorado and Sinbad: these are the hidden gems of 2d animation.
I see them every time as comfort movies together with the ones from studio ghibli I never get tired of them.
Yes!! You've summarized all of my favorite movies growing up😍
Oh, got to add Atlantis to that list 😅😁
@@TheTandborsten You are completely right!
Vindication! Seriously a huge reason they didn’t succeed is due to their lack of singing. I craved adventure as a kid, not necessarily musicals.
@@wolftownesqueadventure, sci fi and action are such underestimated genres in the animated scene in early 2000.
Titan A. E. was an interesting movie too but it didn't even reach the cinema here, I saw all these movies on HBO or rented the dvds.
It's such a shame this movie bombed, it was so much better than it was given credit for in its day.
for real!!!!!! absolutely BANGER
Not sure of the timeline, but was this almost paired directly with the release and box office bomb of Treasure Planet?
Another amazing, early 00's, pirate-themed movie that did poorly at the box office.
yeah one of my favourite animated movie
@@enthusia492 Finding Nemo also came out a little more than a month before it came out
@@shaygarden9831 I presume it's failure was at least in part due to the films that were released around the same time. Personally, I'd say this one is far more enjoyable than _Finding Nemo_ but marketing got people in seats and _Sinbad_ got lost in the shuffle.
this movie rules. the goddess's hair alone, my goodness. pure badass animation
frrrr Eris is a queen in this!!

Jack Sparrow refusing to ferry slaves under contract of the British empire is powerful. I never knew about that deleted scene. That is such a good character trait. Goddamn it House of Mouse!
Lol, George Lucas called it!
It's so much better than the... always being a pirate and getting a hat early on like Indiana Jones or something we got in 5. I'm mad we didn't get it now.
But... didn't he also tried to bargain himself from David Jones servitude by bringing him 100 people instead of himself in second movie...?
@Alias Fakename well i think that's why they scrapped that line of dialog about slave trading in the third film alltogether - to not make that sort of incosistancies in character that tried to do involanteraly servitude to others in second film (even if they are bad people and might be deserve it) but declaring that slave trading is bad in third movie. It might be good fo character development for both characters and their views on one hand but on the other might come of as "... but at least i'm not a nazi" moment for jack.
@Alias Fakename ok im a month late but, the 100 souls are a twist of irony by Davy Jones. When Jack Sparrow releases the slaves (100 of them to be exact) he doesn't escape the East India Trading Company, his ship is sunk and he is branded. He makes a deal with Davy Jones to get his ship back, and it is rebranded as the Black Pearl, but Davy Jones demands 100 souls in return, which as you can see through the 2nd and 3rd movie, Jack really isn't that interested in complying
And he descended from the heavens, with a sword made out of bread. Upon us he gave not the content we deserved, but the content we needed.

Marina is another name for a harbour. Her name means she is caught between the shore and the sea.
That was a good mirror to Sinbad being caught between being a thief and hero.
And of her being caught between her love for both Sinbad and Proteus, one of sea, one of land
There is literally a track from the movie called "Is it shore or the sea?" Plays while marina and sinbad talks about their relationship
And to her being caught between her affection both for Proteus and Sinbad.
Wait, did she _really_ love Proteus?
@@danielawesome36 In the original version of the script, she was in love with both Proteus and Sinbad. However, she was never in love with Proteus in the movie. She still fell in love with Sinbad, though.
"Eris is the best character Dreamworks has ever made..."
King Rameses II be like: "I will not be the weak link!!"
Let my people go.
I can't stop laughing,but I prefer Eris,she's so despicable that you can't turn away from the screen whenever she's on
Nah Eris is genius compared to him
This makes me sad because I watched the stage show before everything close and it just reminds me how badly they ruined this amazing character
It was the Israelites who made him up
It is an entire CRIME that this movie doesn't have the appreciation and large cult following it deserves. I remember watching that movie on VHS all the time as a kid and it RULED. I'd forgotten about it until now, so I rewatched it and it rules even more. The animation, visuals, art direction, music it's all *_chef's kiss_* impeccable. What I wouldn't give to see this movie with updated CGI
Can you blame the world though? The movie is gorgeous beyond words, but it is so, so, so straightforward. There is no any sort of intrigue, no any sort of twist, and no unique character. When you are telling a well worn story like this, ideally you want to put an unique spin to it. I remember and like the visuals (especially the Roc scene), but everything else is so forgettable.
@@kingsleycy3450 i agree kinda average tbh
IT IS. But can you really blame the world? Finding Nemo was just a month or two ahead of this. Those years were a bad time to release a 2D film if you aren't making a Disney Princess. 3D animation's novelty was too strong, especially when the quality was still growing. Its just that the film was a few years too late. OR too early seeing as how 2D animated film has been revived in recent years, albeit not as grand.
Also, Captain Jack was sailing the same year. A really bad time overall for Sinbad to come out.
@@carloblanquisco5723 100% that movie was doomed before release to flop, largely bc of when it came out. At this point all i want is for it to get a belated cult following like other iconic movies that flopped on release. I wanna see mediocre cosplay at watch parties ffs!
I swear so many people are missing out on how good of an essayist this guy is just because they don't like long form media because I've trying to show this channel to like all of my friends and then they all say that they'll watch it later because it's so long
not a criticism of you, I just need to get new friends because this shit is too good for me to keep to myself
bless bless bless bro thank you for the kind words
Same problem here. Such such good videos but no one seems to be interested in long form media that isnt a movie or a TV series episode. I mean its sad but its their loss honestly. Love ya Breadsword
BREADSWORD you are NEVER talking too much. Your videos are so good I reWATCH them
I started to watch this video because I had nothing to do. Then I suddenly started to recognize his voice and remembered the bombastic essay he made on Satoshi Kon, lol.
I had a pleasant surprise basically.
I propose them as something to listen too like a podcast. Stick on in the background while washing dishes or playing a game where you can still see the screen. Once you start a breadsword video, you cant stop. And if the screen is visable and you can look up while you're doing something when he talks about the visual aspects of a scene, you'll get sucked in and stop what your doing to watch 😅
I know this is kinda stupid and small. But I love how Cetus, when making his entrance into the world of our protagonists, he could have made a smooth, grand entrance. But instead, he just belly flops into the ocean out of the dang sky. And nobody sees it.
I just love it and I don't know why.
it's like a km long and fell from damn space but not a single dude from either ship, that mind you were kind of worried of finding other ships, saw it fall, it had never ocurred to me just how weird that was XD
@@agustinvenegas5238 But it's just great! It's such a small detail to get hung up on, but I crack up at that scene just every damn time!
I could be misremembering but wasn’t it at a pretty far distance? It took him a while to reach the ship
@@beyondviolet It was still a big creature on an open ocean that fell out of the sky. You can't tellme you wouldn't see that.
Regardless, I still find it funny.
@@shadowpuppet8192 if it was in the faraway distance I might not, I’m very easily distracted lol. Anyway I just looked up the intro and Cetus was literally dropped directly in their line if sight and they have a big crew so someone definitely should have noticed

The Extra-Pissed-Guy from LotR is actually an extra happy guy:
"In "The Return of the King (2003)", during the epic scene of the Rohirrim Charge Peter Jackson requested that only extras who have read the novel and could recite the scene, to be placed in the front lines as they are aware of the importance of this moment. It's how he ended up with this epic rider."
Most of the riders are actually women with fake beards and helmets. The could not find enough male riders for the Rohirrim. To few New Zealand boys are into horseback riding.
Where's the timestamp in this video?
I mean, who hasn't had their sexual awakening to Eris
Well, my sexual awakening was Esmeralda. But eris was very captivating, i was too young to see her as attractive but now id totally let her step on me
Eris put gasoline to the embers within. I had A-B repeat on "enough talking, time for some screaming"
all factual she is the penultimate goth gf
I feel called out.
Damn all y’all were hella gay I was just watching the movie
grabs comfy chair and biggest soup bowls for his head.
It's a real shame Sinbad and El Dorado didnt do better at the box office. I love how these movies followed in the same animation style as Prince of Egypt, and it truly felt like Dreamworks brought something entirely unique to hand-drawn animation with these three movies. Everything from the visuals to the stories and complexities of it's characters gave audiences something they've rarely, if ever, seen throughout the Disney Renaissance.
Yet another classic being covered by the Sword made out of Bread. Noice.

Not all heroes have metal swords.
“The pedestal is but revealed for a moment... and then is covered once more, by the wax and wane of the shifting sands. Maybe that’s why they imagined hell, as a desert.” Holy shit man ,,, Like I’m over here folding laundry and crying over the loss of pirate based media,,, what is happening??
I clicked this in dull curiosity as something to keep me entertained while eating a burrito, but breadsword's got me lamenting the inevitable grind of time and wishing to relive the wonder fuelled fantasies of a childhood I haven't thought about in 20 years.
I'm either experiencing a sickening combo of nostalgia and despair, or really very bad heartburn
He does have a sorrow-inducing grieving tone.
I loved this movie as a kid... Guess I need to write a pirate story at some point.
Breadsword has an amazing way of making you cherish through sadness. Building your excitement up throughout, and then hitting you with some truth. Somehow, it always feels hopeful afterwards.

This guy should voice act. He really brings emotion to the script he wrote and has proof read a couple of times.
yoooooo thank you!!!
Yes! This is the second video of his I've seen and have teared up at the end both times. I can hear his passion and how much he cares about these movies. Sinbad was one of my favorite movies growing up and I forgot how much I loved it. This video made me remember. This guy is so good at depicting emotion in his voice that he could probably be talking about something as meaningless as cheerios and I'd be crying.
It sounds very forced, breathy, and overly high pitched tbh

When I was an animation student, I had a teacher who did the rigging (and I think animation?) for the ice bird (sorry haven’t seen the film in a long time so I can’t remember it’s name lol).
When we were in class and he showed us an example of a demo reel by showing us his and I saw said ice bird, I lost my mind. I asked him if it was what I thought it was, and it was. So I told him “I LOVE that movie! The animation is so good in it!” and his response upset me very much so.
“We’re still waiting to get that money back.”
That's awful. :(
Omg no :(
The actual f? Don't people sign contracts and seek legal actions?
@@DiamondsRexpensive he is probably talking about how the movie didn't make much money so they didn't really get what they bargained for, for a DreamWorks movie. I mean, if the movie took off imagine how rich he'd be.
the Ice Roc was GORGEOUS!!!
I got to admit , when it came to DreamWorks 2d Animated films they felt a lot more unique and creative then what Disney had during the time(with the exception of Atlantis and Treasure planet), so it's kind of sad they never got to chance to convey thier true potential.
I compleeeetely completely completely agree! always felt like they were in their own bag
You kidding? That was Disney's best era: the long overdue return of Fantasia, their funniest feature ever in The Emperor's New Groove, their first truly original animated feature (not from Pixar) in Lilo & Stitch, and the last great pulp adventure movie in Atlantis. Dreamworks had some good shit too, but don't sell the House that Walt Built so short.

Hell yeah... Sinbad is a childhood classic.
bro Sinbad is a BANGER
@@BREADSWORD for real, so glad you did a video about this underrated gem.
When I was little, my internet cut out for a whole month and all I had was Sinbad on dvd. I watched it everyday, multiple times a day even, and eventually I memorized every single line and would recite them word for word. I memorized it so well I could play the movie out in my head as if I was watching it in my brain. Strangely enough I never got tired of Sinbad, and I would not pass a chance to watch it again to this day, it’s far from the best movie ever but it never gets old to me
Lol oh no! no internet is such a different problem I never dealt with as a little kid. We didn't even have cable so we had to go to Grandma's house to watch Nick,Disney, and etc but what we did was watch public broadcast which Saturday mornings were the best cause of the cartoons like Batman animated series which still holds up to this day 3 decades later but what we did other times was have a huge collection of vhs tapes that went all the way to the ceiling the entire wall, a small wall mind you but still so many vhs tapes. We would even use those vhs to build buildings for our toys like a stable as I did for my Barbie horses while having a vhs our parents were watching play in the background but we would end up watching as well too even if it was way too adult for us lol.
No the worst thing that could happen was the tv or vhs player broke or your favorite tape but then instead we read our many books from the babysitters club, goosebumps to scary stories to tell in the dark or played with our many toys. All we had was basic crayons and not all the art supplies my kid has today and still ignores for the most part.
No it was when our power was out the entire day or night cause someone hit a electric pole was the worst. Today it gets fixed within minutes but then it could be all day or all night with only candles and talking to each other to keep our sanity.
I love my internet today don't get me wrong but I like once in awhile when for whatever reason the internet and etc goes out so I can tell my kid go read a book or get creative cause you guys get so helpless just losing the internet. I remember as a kid even when the power went out it was at least fun the first hour or so. No the worst was when your favorite vhs tapes finally broke from being played too many times and you didn't trust your parents to rebuy it 😅. Kinda miss those times cause we used to beg our parents to do anything with us like watch a Disney movie and now as a parent we beg our kids to watch a Disney movie or whatever with is instead of anything to do with TH-cam or video games. 😂.
It's gonna be interesting once my kid has a kid....
SAME OMG my internet was pretty bad back in the dad so I would watch this movie and Shrek the Third. I still own the Sinbad DVD till this day 😂
@@gideonroos1188 oooh I stayed up well past midnight to one in the morning watching Disney channel or mtv daria and I remember waking up at 7 or 8 am watching cartoons on Nickelodeon, Disney, and etc at Grandma's house. Yup I was that kid that barely ran on sleep I was the last one out in sleep overs too and first one up as well. But now I swear I need 12-15 hours to sleep so I don't feel loopy especially if I dream cause I swear dreams don't mean rest for my ass.
But at home I did go to bed around idk 10 pm or so cause I remember watching TV mini series with my parents like the Steven Kings the perfect storm and it being so damn important to record it cause of my dad and mom. But I remember one of my favorite vhs recordings were thumbelina and dragon world which alot of kids have seen thumbelina but not dragon world.
My kid loves dragons and I found dragon world on TH-cam (you'll know it for being set in Scotland and the really good Jim Henson dark Crystal level puppet dragon) and I couldn't believe he loved it let alone got him to watch it with me! But then again my kid is such a dragon fan really worked in my favor! 😂
You might know it from being in the UK but idk how my parents came across it in America it's really rare any people knowing it here.
It was sort of glossed over, but the whole Eris creating a Sinbad skin suit and then putting it on - stuffing her essence into it - was one of the coolest ways she could have impersonated him. As always everything Eris did was beautifully animated.
Pirates of the Caribbean has my single favorite quote in relation to pirate films:
"A ship is more than a keel and a hull and a deck and a sail, that's what a ship needs. But what a ship is... ().. is freedom"
A pirate movie, a good one, is about the absolute thrill and joy and FREEDOM that Pirates represent. A pirates tale can go anywhere, but on the deck of a ship there is nothing but the wide open seas
beautifully put king thank u
Breadsword: Praises audible narrators

I would binge watch this movie CONSTANTLY as a child. I ended up memorizing the entire script especially Eris' lines lmao she was the best
Same lol I still own the DVD till this day
same here. i recently found my old dvd of the movie with subtitles in my language and all and i kinda lost my shit, only to find out that it got scratched beyond repair by the kids we lent it to x) but no joke when i say that there's so much nostalgia tied to this movie for me that its one of, if not my personal favorite movie, i swear to god i'll die on this hill xD
I’ve been waiting for anyone to talk about this movie. This movie was one of my favorites as a kid.
do not fret monky with caprisun I have arrived with the fresh vid
Same, a lot of these adventure films allowed me and my dad to have middle ground in order to help me be introduced to other adventure films. These are the films that will be lost and found when the time is right for the next generation.
"Pirate cinema is dead"
Meanwhile in Japan...

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
20+ years/ almost 1k of manga chapters
One Piece saving pirate cinema would be a dream come true, but given how much it has struggled to gain an audience in America...
Think it was just a sign that for American cinema and content creators, pirate media is dead. "Dead men tell no tales", you know.
One Piece never dies
I think he means that pirate cinema is dead in mainstream western culture (and in that he is right, for now at least).
But your point stands: there is always possibility for "pirate culture" to survive for a more niche audience (although, yeah, I know, manga is not exactly niche, but you get what I mean I suppose).
"Eris is the best. I will die on this hill"
So will we. We are your soldiers, order us to battle sire.
I will go down with this ship. And I’ll put my hands up and surrender
I will risk drowning and I can't swim. That's how much I love Eris and your videos!
Sinbad should be renowned for Eris's hair animation alone, so underrated!
I love it when people talk about the things they're passionate about. Even if I don't have a huge understanding of the topic, just hearing them gush about it makes me so happy. Like it makes me believe there's something to live for, you know? Anyways, great video as always c:
It is one of the most beautiful things about humans.
Really relatable. I also love to listen to thought out critism, especially of things I am deep into even when it still boils down to taste.
Ha! where were you as a friend when I was a kid? 🤣
I had many people in my life ruin things I loved talking about even tho I was so excited and passionate about it.
@@constantine9142 your comment doesn't make sense. If you want to elaborate you can.
@@DiamondsRexpensive sorry I hope I fixed it. I was practically sleeping and writing that
It's always so fun finding secret Sinbad fans in real life - I swear, people have either never heard of this movie or they FREAKING LOVE IT
"legend of the seven seas is WAY too horny"
Yeah I definitely remember my prepubescent pheromones being activated by Eris for the first time
I can't remember where, but I've heard recently that 2D animation likely suffered a sort of coordinated, intentional death at the hands of the Disney head at the time, who had it in his head that 3D animation was the future, that 2D animation would and should fail completely. Other companies copied the approach, because Disney.
I can imagine Sinbad and Treasure Planet not doing well were probably a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, considering they still both have small but really dedicated fandoms and Pirates of the Caribbean not having this issue ended up being one of Disney's more lucrative franchises. I have no idea why Pirates of the Caribbean didn't manage to spawn more pirate movies, though, I'm still mad that it didn't.
Interesting. Considering the anti-poaching/wage cap scandal that embroiled the industry (and probably still does) I wouldn't put it past them (studio execs) to tank classical over CGI fare. But aside from The Iron Giant, most classically animated films of that era had terrible stories and are nigh unwatchable.
I can imagine some execs pushing to enter production before the story had been fully fleshed out, while giving time for CGI films to develop.
But that's probably hogwash, as Pixar had autonomy to polish a story before entering production and many studios would be loath to spend another year (financially) working on story. Pixar just dominated the industry so completely that even Disney's dedicated studio (Secret Lab or ...Circle 7?) made half baked junk just like Dreamworks and others.
Well, whatever happened, most agree that Michael Eisner was an ass who did his best to destroy classical animation as a medium. Also that jackass that torpedoed Iron Giant.
(Sidenote: There's so much to unpack about that era of animation, that I suspect Sinbad was supposed to be a fully CGI animated film, but human characters were just not workable. At least until Pixar developed the "base-man" (don't have the will to Google it) technology that underpinned the ability to make The Incredibles. So thank Brad Bird and his friends for making CGI films watchable. 😉)
Just remember that so long as the anime industry exists, 2D animation will never go out of style
@@zanemartin6699 Well, let's say North American classical style. It's also still popular in Europe. I'm a huge advocate for NA classical animation and it's never been dead-dead. Just relegated to a second/third class standing--in the North American industry.

Holy cow, the whole video was a role coaster of emotion about a movie I loved as a kid, but those last lines were just phenomenal. Just like in the Tin Tin video, your able to convey the emotion so well. The endings always make me cry. I don't know how you do it.
Fun fact: in croatian dub, voice actors for Sinbad and Protheus are the same as Miguel and Tulio, which makes it 1000x better (and gayer)
No one can convince me Sinbad and Protheus (and Miguel and Julio for that matter) are not gay
You just know sinbad at least licked Protheus' d*ck just by the way he reacted when he first saw him
Oh my gosh, no wonder I loved them

How was it? One of my favourite childhood memories!
I have so many great memories with this movie. At the time, my father had just been hired at Dreamworks shortly before the release of The Road to El Dorado, and I still remember clearly the day when he excitedly told me that the studio wanted to take animated films to the next level, and elementary schooler me was all in for it. I still have several early Dreamworks animation memorabilia, but all of my Sinbad stuff is super special to me. This is such a well-crafted film, and it's a shame how overlooked it is when it did well what other studios were so badly trying to also do - breathe life into their characters and give them meaningful arcs that make you forget that these are animated characters, not real-life actors. This was one of the films that really pushed me into appreciating the power of visual storytelling.
I was absolutely obsessed with this movie as a kid, my babysitter would play it for me at her house but I was never able to find it anywhere else because my parents had no idea what movie I was trying to describe to them so I'd convinced myself it was just a fever dream and not a real movie lol
Thank you for bringing this back to me and showing Sinbad the love it deserves
Someone is binging 2D Dreamworks, I see.
YOU KNOW HOW WE DO
I just rewatched Sinbad, and about the thing with the Cities... The Council of the Twelve Cities contains several members of different ethnicities. At least one of them appears to be asian, probably Chinese, two appear to be of middle eastern or african origin, and one large fellow with a thick red beard could be of germanic descent, or maybe russian.
Maybe the Pact of the Twelve Cities, or whatever it's called, isn't so much a pact between twelve greek Cities, but rather an international one, similar to the UN.
He just has a way of speaking that is just ...

Eris deserves more praise in the animated movie villain pantheon. Also, loved the video.
Even with my nostalgia glasses on, older animated movies dying at box offices does not equal it being a bad movie.
Damn, that analysis of Sinbad’s gut reactions when it comes to Marina is fascinating. He is actively faking disdain when nothing bad is going on, but when they’re thrown into perilous situations he IMMEDIATELY abandons this performance and initiates physical contact (holding her, carrying her, etc.) to protect her/lead her away from the danger. This shows how Sinbad is simply pretending to be this careless monster, and his true feelings come out when the people he cares about are being threatened. This applies to both Proteus and Marina.
I used to watch this movie a lot when I was younger, and I never thought twice about it. I thought it was just a fun time. But this video made me realize just how layered this seemingly-simple pirate tale is, especially when it comes to Sinbad himself. Wonderful video. I immediately subscribed! 💖💖
You won't believe how many of my friends as an adult have never heard of this movie, much less seen it.
I adore this DreamWorks classic and grew up with it. So I'm always baffled when I hear someone my age say they've never seen it. Love showing it off and introducing it.
Love your video! So well done and giving this masterpiece the recognition it deserves!
I do feel like everything coming out of holywood in recent years is very... angry? I don't know how to explain it but everything feels so full of anger and resentment.
Maybe if we find the root we can go back to a time when films filled me with hope and awe and less... finality and sadness.
We've hit a bump of nihilism that I hate, any time I try to enjoy some escapism I'm told to grow up and face the world, I'm here to watch a movie and escape I want fantasy not reality and I can't wait for escapism and joy to return to cinema
Those last ten minutes made me cry. This channel genuinely feels like a love letter to older movies and traditional animation and lets me feel close to these styles and movies that shaped my childhood. Thank you.

I hope you've heard this a hundred times before but oh my lord you can write. I saw this in my recommended thinking I could just play it in the background while I work, but boy was I wrong. You genuinely have a great talent for keeping people engaged both with your writing and passion. You deserve all the subs in the world!
Now excuse me I'm gonna go watch my childhood.
yoooooooo thank you so so so much!!!
It may have been a box office failure, but honestly this movie is phenomenal. I remember watching this movie on Cartoon Network many times. I remember the sheer excitement and joy. The beauty and adventure, the badass designs. I also remember having a crush on Rat but uhh.... we don't talk about that! Seriously this movie holds a special place in my heart. There's something about the adventure and environments that are so perfect. I honestly can't describe it, there's this almost nostalgic feeling, like this is how it should be
BREADSWORD simply does not miss? In the heat of BATTLE he don’t miss. In the heat of CONTROVERSY he don’t miss!
AIM OF AN EAGLE BABY I SIMPLY CANNOT MISS
Genuinely brought tears to my eyes at the end. Sinbad was always one of those movies of my childhood I remember actually striking a different feeling into me. It hit me as this amazing movie for some reason I couldn't place, and I genuinely had a big love for pirates as a small kid. Now, I eventually shifted to Cowboys for a while after, and then ultimately space cowboys and my love for Star Wars. But Sinbad was always one of those movies that I reflect on with a lot of Nostalgia because I watched it all the time when I was little. Miss this style of animation, and it's a damn shame we never really get mature movies out of it due to animation being considered mostly for kids until the popularization of anime in the west recently. Great vid, I definitely love the vibe of the channel and would reccomend anyone reading this comment subscribe. This is another one where the creator puts a lot of effort into their videos because they have a genuine love for it, so I feel he deserves recognition.
I haven't seen this movie in years, and I don't think I know anybody else who saw it so it had faded into the back of my memory.
You not only reminded me of a movie I loved as a child, you made a loving commentary about it filled with passion that had me sitting here crying about something I haven't thought about in well over a decade Auto like and subscribe.
Can you please do a video on Prince of Egypt?
Or Atlantis: The Lost Empire?
Atlantis is a personal favorite of mine and would love to see you cover it.
Ladyknightbrave and Savage Books have some good video essays on Atlantis. Josh Keefe has a short but sweet video on Prince of Egypt.
Prince of Egypt doesn't hold up very well. It's animation can be breathtaking but characters are really hollow. It just loses so much on re-watch.
@@arditlika9388 Funny, for me the characters are among my favourite parts. The complexity and ambiguity of Rameses and Moses still draws me into their story every time; they feel so much more nuanced and well-developed than the standard animated lead
@@BlondeCurlsBlueEyes I didn't get that impression on re-watch. But I agree that they are more complex that standard leads. I guess I was expecting more, and probably I hyped it too much as a kid, and set myself up for dissapointment.
@@arditlika9388 Perhaps so. I don't have any nostalgia for it, personally. Only saw it for the first time in adulthood and it blew me away, but to each their own!
To this day Sinbad holds up strongly and is definitely one of DreamWorks’ finest despite its flaws.
huuuuge huge huge agree!

US: "2d animation is dead"
Japan: "hold my beer"
It’s more like lots of stills but sure there’s a few actions scenes worth talking about
Ummmm yeah totally (not like 3d anime are becoming more common place)
@@TheBiggestMoneyBoy 3d anime will never completely take over, 2d will always remain its hallmark. Though nowadays almost every anime makes use of 3d cgi in certain ways it is mostly done to fill in the blanks of animation (with some notorious examples of terrible 3d background characters, but it is mostly done so as to be unnoticeable) and only in certain cases does it take center stage (beastars, land of the lustrous, dorohedoro as well I think)
Yuri on ice used rotoscoping a lot for the skating scenes and works.
@@gamefreaknitro i mean violet evergarden is a pretty good example of 2d animation being well and alive in anime, that anime is BEAUTIFULLY animated

Most expensive film ever made : about pirates (Idk if Pirates of the carribean 3 is still most expensive tho )
@Manek Iridius They regularly clash with authorities, they've deposed the rulers of several islands, they facilitated the largest prison break in living memory, and their entire goal is a treasure plundered from hundreds of world government affiliated countries. Pretty sure they stole some shit somewhere in there. They're close enough to pirates in deed that it doesn't matter.
So you want people to repeat the same tired old things?
"surrounded on all sides by the coalescence of their chromatic identities"
Holy shit that line was so good. Thank you also for reminding me of this absolute gem.
The whole essay was also extremely well structured, and I'm amazed at how you were able to tie in so much information about other stories, works, the real life background of he creators, and the wider media landscape. Also top tier jokes/references.
When I was a child and watched Sinbad for the first time and still as an adult I'm fascinated by the lightning lanters scene. It represents the start of an adventure. A ship leaving the port while the sun sets in the background and the crew getting ready for a new journey, a new adventure. Combined with that perfect score it's just amazing. It creates this feeling of exitement that I just can't put in to words.
Same for me with the scene in Treasure Planet where they're prepping the Legacy for launch and the score Howard did for that one. They're 2 different kinds of scenes, with Sinbad being a kind of quiet purpose, and Treasure Planet being like a kick in the arse, but both have this feeling of setting off for something unknown.
Both still make me cry... and I'm 35.
"Eris is the best Dreamworks vilian"
Rameses: am I a joke to you?
Fairy God Mother left the chat
Tai Lung and Shen would like to have a word.
Eris: Yes
Rameses: Understood. Carry on.
I really wouldn't class Ramases as a villain, more of a tragic figure created by his upbringing and his own fears. Eris is the most flat-out, born to be bad evil villain.
Eris: Yes you are
This, Titan AE, Atlantis, Treasure Planet, and El Dorado were the best
Agree with a couple of these.
Treasure Planet was probably the number one.
Of this list, Titan AE is and will always be my absolute all-time favorite.
With Atlantis landing in 2nd place.
I love all four movies.
But those are the top for me.
turns out “look on my works ye mighty and despair” applies to more Dreamworks films than I thought

This was my favorite movie growing up and it breaks my heart that it didn't receive the recognition it deserved at the time. Thank you for reminding me once again just why I love this movie so much!!
Just watched your review of The Road to El Dorado yesterday and it made me rewatch the movie and I instantly thought about watching Sinbad afterward. Your reviews just have a way of making me want to relive my childhood I guess
ayyyyy thank you so so much!!!
Same here.
this Monday has been a whole kick in the a*s, thank you bread lad for making it a little better. keep doing what you're doing
ayyyy I hope your day gets better!!!
these analysis videos are works of art in their own right. they bring you on a rollercoaster of emotion, rising in the middle with the blatant love of these films, only to leave you with an aching longing for what could have been in the end. i’ve never even seen sinbad or the black cauldron and i haven’t watched the road to el dorado, treasure planet, or howl’s moving castle in years and yet, it feels like i’ve known them and their bittersweet tragedy my whole life. breadsword, you make me want to write poetry. these are wonderful. thank you for the work and love you put into these. x
I don’t have like a point to this, but sinbad was one of my brother and I’s favourite movies growing up. We had it on DVD (we still might, time to climb into the attic to hunt) and for a while there it was watched at least once a week. My brother and I would (try to) imitate the sword fights and I was pretty much always trying to nail an impersonation of Eris (“places to go, things to destroy, stuff to steal” is tattooed into my brain I have said it so many times and I sTill cannot get it). I don’t remember much else surrounding it, but the people I know who saw it growing up overall have the same kind of stories and definitely the same affection for it.
It’s honestly really sad that it was regarded as such a failure because it’s it’s wonderful! And the story is one that I still come back to some times. I genuinely think that even if you can simplify sinbad’s arc down to a “be true to yourself” message, it’s one of the best narratives to express it. In the face of gods and kings, telling him “this is what you are and all you will ever be”, despite internalising that idea, he proves them wrong. And it’s not because he’s some infallible good guy accidentally miscast as a scoundrel, it’s because the people around him, the crew, proteus, marina, love and believe in him and see him as more than that, more than he saw himself as, and so he starts to see and believe it too. And that has always stayed with me, and I think it’s an important story to share with kids. You can be more that what authorities define you as. It’s easy to be heartless and hard to let people in, but you have to, it’s how you grow.
Also I love that the big act of rebellion against the system stops being “stealing this important magic book” and becomes the act of refusing to play the role it cast him as.
The other thing that’s stayed with me is an undying love for Catherine Zeta Jones’ voice holy wow. Bonus shout out to how fluid Eris’ movement is it’s really beautiful to watch.
Thank you for making this video, it’s brilliant. I have to climb into an attic now.

That is all.
you evoke such a mix of emotions with your essays... it's an animated children's film, a medium often dismissed (it only has one category in the oscars- really, we're lumping prince of egypt and ferngully 2 in the same category? really?), but that impacts us so much because it was a part of our formative years. you capture that childhood wonder and earnestness, while also pairing it with such a breadth of knowledge. the context you settle us into before starting the film analysis is so engaging it makes me want to watch all of these old films I've never heard of. and then i've heard flaws of this film reiterated ad nauseum, but your insistence on an unbridled enjoyment of the film just made me appreciate it so much more. and then that bittersweet end, that acknowledgement of company pandering to whoever will cut them the largest check and thus the loss of some narratives, thank you for confirming something i've noticed but couldn't articulate, as you did with the Tiana and Lottie note. it's this ability you have to balance the gravitas of an adult who bears the weight of all they have experienced with the child who yearns for that experience and revels in it.

Damn, what a heartfelt comment
I lose my shit at 22:45 when you yell “like seriously bro what’s your fuckin problem” it’s the most honest reaction I’ve heard to something sad happening in a movie :)
This really is one of those movies that you watch, and afterwards feel will never see anything like it again, same goes for Treasure Planet(which I say is better by all regards but I think im just being painfully biased thanks to it being my all time favorite movie), Road to El Dorado, and the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Over the past 4 years, I've been writing a story that doesn't seem to want to have a final form yet, constantly trying to fight me because of how in depth I want the tale to be, to be in some resemblance of greatness as to the few I mentioned. But I feel detail may just be what I'm overdoing, especially after watching these videos. The one consistent thing in these tails isn't how they explain everything, isn't how high they stakes are, but what they simply tell. And that's a good story. It's always a phenomenal joy seeing you post videos, and always a bit insightful and inspiring on how I can change my narrative to be a more compelling and less messy story. Thanks for the video Bready, it means a lot to me and everyone else here(:
Huge Treasure Planet fan here myself. From my own writing experience, never give up working on it until it's finished, even if it feels overwhelming! Keep working at it, because over time, you'll get it to be better and better as you gain more experience on storytelling and the story YOU want to tell. And don't put the pressure of trying to get it to perfectly match your vision and scope. It doesn't need to be perfect for it to be complete. Best of luck on your story!
I had actually never seen Treasure Island or Sinbad as a kid when they were released. I don't know if they just didn't market it enough or what. I barely knew of their existence before watching your videos about them. Gonna get some copies and watch; they are truly beautiful. I really love love love Road to El Dorado so I'm sure this will be amazing too.
Your videos are so nostalgic and they even contain the oft-forgotten part of nostalgia that is sadness. Sadness that this gorgeous hand-drawn animation is a bygone thing, or that our society is no longer in love with swashbuckling tales. I still think we always love a good antihero. In the end, that is what comes to mind when I think of pirates. We have found other ways to portray antiheroes. So maybe we actually haven't moved on, we just found more ways to express our fondness of scoundrels with a heart of gold. I love all of your videos. Thank you for making them!

@@tuoljg wow that's a passionate opinion
This is for sure the best video I've seen this year, and probably ever
I've been sitting here thinking about the last few minutes of this video. Even though we want to believe that art is eternal and can speak to anyone, even years after it's been made, the fact is that people change, they lose interest. People lost interest in noir, in musicals, in pirates, and as a result, they've fallen out of pop culture and aren't seen as much anymore. Hell, the last I heard of Sinbad was in the Magi anime. I watched 2 seasons of that show and remember so much of it but can't even remember if he was a pirate.
But to say that the desert is hell isn't something I can stand behind. What greater gift could you possibly give than to be stuck in a world where glimpses of greatness lead to further exploration? This video alone is a small glimpse of what pirates have to offer to storytelling. Do you know the amount of people who will at least give pirates a chance because of this video? Who might discover a new love for them? The desert in the movie might be hell, but the desert of forgotten ideas and stories is quite possibly the furthest thing from it. It's an infinite expanse of the stories told by our predecessors, the building blocks of what art has evolved to and will continue to evolve to. And those small glimpses of what was, the curiosity and drive to uncover them and to see if they have a place in the modern day, is nothing short of amazing.
Sure, maybe pirate cinema is dead. Maybe it'll come back. Maybe it won't. But the glimpse of greatness you saw and are sharing with us now won't be forgotten.
If there's one thing you can be absolutely sure of in entertainment, it's that things come in waves. Genres especially, to the point where it's probably best to wait at least 40 years before attempting to definitively say "[insert type of movie here] is dead". Audiences who loved trends and specific genres when they were kids will inevitably lose interest at some point before just as inevitably becoming nostalgic for the thing they once loved. The pirate genre in particular, in my opinion, has never really been anything close to "dead" since it first appeared as a film genre. It dips in and out of general popularity but there has definitely been a fairly steady stream of pirate-related media or media that prominently features pirate iconography from pretty much the 90s right up until now with a boom in popularity just after Sinbad was released.
This along with the road to eldorado are two of my absolute favourite animated movies! Thank you for capturing how beautiful it really is. I always get tears when you start describing all the amazing details about the film.

I loved this movie since a kid, being a part of my favourite VHS movie set I have (next to Road to Eldorado, Treasure Planet and Atlantis 1-2) and I always loved to go and see it back. Glad to see other people enjoying it as well as I have not seen a lot of it online and hearing as a teen that it underperformed when as a kid I thought it was part of one of those classics like Nemo, Lion King and so on.
Great video and it made me appreciate the movie even more from other perspectives and the background I got into the Sinbad mythos and piracy.
