Though Proteus welcomes Sinbad, Sinbad sees Proteus’s fiancé, the Lady Marina, and leaves immediately. Proteus sails off to Syracuse, and Sinbad follows after to see the Book and crash his party. What actually happens is that the fleet is attacked by a giant squid sent by Eris, the goddess of discord, and Sinbad is integral in saving the lives of both Proteus’s crew and his own. We never really figure out what the Book of Peace does-as its name implies, it supposedly keeps the peace-but nevertheless, Sinbad is after it, and he goes after the fleet of Prince Proteus of Syracuse in order to get it. Our protagonist Sinbad is a thieving pirate and rogue who, at the start of the movie, is trying to steal the Book of Peace. Spoilers for Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas below. What I found was that Sinbad could have potentially been far more creative and representative than the version that we got. Fascinated, I watched it all again from the beginning, and then did what I didn’t think about in 2003: I went to research it online. Then I went on to other movies and mostly forgot about Sinbad until I caught a glimpse of it while channel-flipping last month. I even bought the video game (side note: wasn’t great, do not recommend). It didn’t get great reviews and its plot was nothing to write home about, but I loved all the characters, the adventure, and the romance, and I wore out our little VHS tape and annoyed all my family members by watching it over and over. One of my favorite movies when I was a kid was the 2003 Dreamworks movie Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas.
