Arabian Nights: Sindbad no Bouken (TV)

Synopsis

Sinbad, the young son of a prestigious merchant in Baghdad, and his friend Hassan sneak in on a party held in the king's palace. As they watch some performers, Hassan accidentally tips over a vase, interrupting the festivities. The angry king nearly has them executed, if not for his wife soothing his rage. For the rest of the night, Sinbad is locked in the cellar as punishment, where he dreams about exploring the world and a strange girl calling herself Shera. As he awakes, he is visited by his uncle Ali, a sea captain, who has just returned and now gifts him a talking pet bird, whom Sinbad names after the girl in his dream. The next morning, as Ali sets out to sea again, Sinbad sneaks and hides aboard his ship, leaving his worrying parents behind.
