Sinbad: Soratobu Hime to Himitsu no Shima

This is an interesting movie about the beginning of Sinbads journey, as well his first adventure.

Overall it is an enjoyable story the characters are fun and interesting to watch, the music if and when it appears is quite nice to the ears and although the art style isn't the most extravagant aspect of this anime it is not bad along with the okay animation the movie for just those aspects is good enough.

Story of this isn't the most complicated and is pretty simple at the moment but still it's interesting and worth giving a try along with the characters which make the story move ... nicely and during the beginning a bit emotionally.

I do have a weird question that I asked myself but i will refrain from doing so here in the review but I will make an assumption that it was due to the budget limit that certain aspect occurred once that the studio chose to make use of a character that was already introduced and focused on rather than some random side character.

Lastly it's pretty good if you like or would like to see the Japanese version of the stories of Sinbad than you would enjoy it, tbh I myself never read the stories of Sinbad but watched some cartoons of his adventures as a kid + with myself being a fan of Magi (manga) and it's version Sinbad I am willing to give a chance to other Japanese takes on the character known as Sinbad.

Very content to be the budget "Laputa" that it is, it doesn't really coalesce into a movie at any point. It spends the first half on Sinbad leaving his birthplace, and the only part of that that feels filmic is his mother's reaction. After that point, it picks up a bit because it has to get through the magic island portion with the rest of its time. Or, rather, it needs to get them there and have the princess emote.

Even so, it's not bad by any means. Being budget Laputa means it still has a few interesting visuals, nice character designs, and an easygoing attitude. ... I found it pleasant more than anything else.
