RMeingast Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Caught some of "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger" last night on TCM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinbad_and_the_Eye_of_the_Tiger Always enjoyed Sinbag movies since I was a kid... Even think Sinbag movies should maybe become Thanksgiving tradition... They're pretty unoffensive to anybody, I think, unless you are offended by bad acting and bad special effects... The Wiki article above states that Harryhausen's biographer, Roy P. Webber, recorded somewhere that Harryhausen's animated baboon was so realistic "that many people were fooled into believing a real animal had been used." The baboon was good, but not that good... Oh well, maybe those people needed new eyewear or had never seen a baboon before... Oh well, nice to see Patrick Wayne and Jane Seymour and Harryhausen's animated critters always fun to watch, I guess... Yep, think this film should become a Thanksgiving regular... That way people can give thanks they don't have to watch it any other time of the year... P.S. In an unrelated matter, Toronto Argos won the Grey Cup yesterday in Canadaland... Much celebration in Hogtown yesterday and today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clore Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 There's a new Sinbad film coming, utilizing stop-motion as well as the term "Dynamation" but someone better tell these guys to cut a new trailer. The first half of it is likely to get people walking out for popcorn: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Have to say Wayne's "Sinbad" was far better than John Phillip Law's. Which STILL doesn't say much I guess... Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joefilmone Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 " Golden Voyage..." has better score, script and villain but " Eye of the Tiger" has some of Harryhausen's finest visual fx. Both movies are old fashion kid friendly movie fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMadness Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I am surprised they never forced Harryhausen to add more people to get these movies out faster. I like these movies too, too bad more were not made using this technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikisoo Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 >Both movies are old fashion kid friendly movie fun. That says it all. We recently screened a Sinbad movie in our film series and I was surprised by the divided reactions of some. We bring our 15 year old who is usually bored to tears with adult themed movies like Now,Voyager, but she was totally fired up about seeing the Sinbad film. She followed the plot and loved the effects, despite the fact she's been brought up with ultra sophisticated CGI & 3D effects. It's a great stepping stone kind of film for teens coming from cartoons.

JamesJazGuitar Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I enjoy these Sinbad movies. Yea, I know there cheap and the acting isn't the best but I still like them. I guess the reason is that they make me feel like I'm 15 again. So while I can clearly see the flaws in these productions I still enjoy the experience.
