The Fantastic Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor

Show description [ ], episode list [ ].

Sinbad sails the seven seas in his struggle to foil the evil magician Abdul Alhazred's plot to summon up the Great Old Ones and unleash upon the world the Age of Cthulhu...!

'If you grew up with the Harryhausen 'Sinbad' flicks and were a fan of HP Lovecraft, this is the book for you...' Vulpine from Innsmouth 'Strange and interesting...' Brian Chrisman 'Highly recommended!' Amazon Customer

Shipwrecked while escorting the Princess of Serendip to her bridegroom, Sinbad the Sailor discovers that she has been abducted by the wicked magician, Abdul Alhazred, who plans to sacrifice her in an attempt to open the dimensional gate and summon the Great Old Ones—demonic gods from beyond the stars.

Accompanied by a motley crew of alchemists and slave girls, princes and policemen, Sinbad sets out to foil the evil sorcerer’s plot. The journey will take them from lost desert cities to mysterious jungle islands, and from the streets of Samarkand to the fabled Plateau of Leng, until at last Sinbad alone stands between the peoples of the Earth and slavery to the forces of cosmic evil…

SINBAD AND THE GREAT OLD ONES is a must for all fans of sword and sorcery, Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, and the swashbuckling Sinbad films of Ray Harryhausen.

Disney Is Adapting 1001 Nights Into An Action Fantasy/Sci-Fi Movie

New stephen king horror movie gets 2025 release date, new hunger games prequel proves there's 1 trend the franchise refuses to break.

• Sinbad adaptations vary in quality and reception, from cult classics like "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" to box office bombs like "Legend of the Seven Seas".
• The portrayal of Sinbad ranges from ancient to modern, with attempts at Harryhausen homages that sometimes fall flat with audiences.
• Some adaptations, like the Sinbad Anime Film Series, stay true to the original story while others, like "Son of Sinbad," focus more on Hollywood glamour.

The story of Sinbad has been adapted multiple times over the years, but some versions rank higher than others, whether on Rotten Tomatoes or by audience opinion. Whether it's a Japanese anime film series or an American film from the 1980s, movies about the famous sailor have retold his story numerous times. Many of the stories have been recognized for their value, such as the Ray Harryhausen cult classics, while others have slowly faded into obscurity.

Unlike other real-life pirates and sailors, Sinbad the Sailor is a fictional character who has been adapted into many different versions of the story. In the story from 1001 Arabian Nights , Sinbad is a poor sailor who complains to God about how the rich live easily and he must suffer. One of the rich overhears and sends a porter (also Sinbad) who tells the sailor Sinbad about the time the porter went on seven voyages to find his wealth.

Disney is returning to the world of 1001 Nights with a brand-new feature film that aims to explore the classic Middle Eastern story collection.

19 The 7 Adventures of Sinbad (2010)

Starring: patrick muldoon (adrian sinbad), bo svenson (simon magnusson).

The modern-day setting for the film is confusing and the cultural appropriation of the natives portrayed in the film is insulting to the story of Sinbad.

The lowest-ranking movie on this list, this B-movie Sinbad adaptation boasts only a 5% rating on Rotten Tomatoes , and for plenty of good reasons. Unlike other versions of the classic tale, the story attempts to set Sinbad's story in the modern day. Unfortunately, it does not work at all for the movie and it failed spectacularly. The modern-day setting for the film is confusing and the cultural appropriation of the natives portrayed in the film is insulting to the story of Sinbad.

18 Adventures of Sinbad the Sailor (1974)

Starring: jan tríska (the narrator).

Pohádky tisíce a jedné noci or T he Adventures of Sinbad the Sailor in English is an interesting film to watch. Originally released as a series of shorts, the story is true to the Sinbad tale and uses the Persian style of storytelling in which the animation is styled like paper cutouts. Unfortunately, the movie only has one version available on YouTube and has no subtitles available, which means that audiences may spend more time translating than actually enjoying the story.

17 Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage (2014)

Starring: patrick stewart (narrator), sharon sean solomon (sinbad), said faraj (the deev).

This film had lots of bad reviews from audiences but was reasonably well-liked by the critics. Unfortunately, not even Patrick Stewart's narration was enough for this movie to be any good. Sinbad: The Fifth Voyage tries to emulate the Ray Harryhausen Sinbad films, and it does not work. The acting is sub-par, which affects the entire movie and makes it look like a rip-off version of Harryhausen, complete with weird action sequences fighting an eight-armed monster and saving a stereotypical princess in distress.

16 Sindbad Alibaba & Aladdin (1965)

Starring: pradeep kumar (sindbad), agha (ali baba), bhagwan (aladdin).

While the movie itself has amazing costumes and songs, it tries to stay as close to the original story as possible.

This movie is an interesting version of the classic story in that Sinbad's name is spelled Sindbad and it also features Aladdin from the classic tale One Thousand and One Arabian Nights. While the movie itself has amazing costumes and songs, it tries to stay as close to the original story as possible. Unfortunately, it is difficult to understand storywise and is a bit of a visual mess. The only version of the film is on YouTube and it is grainy with background noise. According to one YouTuber, the translated subtitles are also out of sync, making it hard to understand what is going on.

15 Son of Sinbad (1955)

Starring: dale robertson (sinbad), sally forrest (ameer), vincent price (omar khayyám), lili st. cyr (nerissa).

Starring Vincent Price and Dale Robertson, this version of Sinbad is visually beautiful and is considered to be a classic. Due to issues with the Hays Production Code, Son of Sinbad wasn't released until 1955 (via AFI ). While there are some interesting actors attached to the movie, like Dale Robertson and Vincent Price, the focus is primarily on the women involved in the movie and making them as sexualized as possible. This takes away from the original story and just doesn't work for the film, making it more of a Hollywood sex symbol movie than an adventure starring Sinbad.

14 Captain Sindbad (1963)

Starring: guy williams (sindbad), heidi brühl (princess jana), pedro armendáriz (el kerim), abraham sofaer (galgo).

While the plot is very good and works well for the scene, the special effects are not that great and look very grainy.

This version of the Sinbad story is an interesting one as it focuses a lot on swashbuckler action that was popular in the 1960s. Like some of the movies on this list, it is a Harryhausen wannabe complete with damsels in distress and one of Hollywood's top actors at the time. While the plot is very good and works well for the scene, the special effects are not that great and look very grainy. Having played the swashbuckling Zorro in Disney's Zorro , Williams' professional fencing skills are second to none and it is one of the few saving graces in the film.

13 Sinbad and the Minotaur (2011)

Starring: manu bennett (sinbad), holly brisley (tara), steven grives (al jibbar).

Another B-movie, Sinbad and the Minotaur, ranks a bit higher on the list due to the predictable action sequences and acting that is a bit over-the-top . The film combines the stories of Sinbad with the Greek legend of the Minotaur. It is one of those films that is known being so bad to the point of being funny and it was not well-received by audiences when it came out in 2011. There are no big names attached to the movie, and it is a bit on the strange side of B movies.

12 Sinbad of the Seven Seas (1989)

Starring: lou ferrigno (sinbad), john steiner (jaffar), prince ali (roland wybenga).

While this film was universally panned when it came out in 1989 due to the low production budget and cheesy acting, it has since become a cult classic. With an Indiana Jones vibe in the trailer and the movie as a whole, there's a heavy focus on the plot as the muscular Sinbad saves the damsel in distress. Despite the bad reviews and predictable acting, Sinbad of the Seven Seas is one of those movies that is so bad that it's funny, similar to the Sharknado film series.

11 Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists (2000)

Starring: brendan fraser (sinbad), john rhys-davies (king chandra), jennifer hale (princess serena), leonard nimoy (baraka), mark hamill (captain of the guards).

Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists is one of the few movies that is animated and is not very well known. The 2000 film was billed as one of the first animated movies using 3-D motion capture. It was not well-received at the box office, but has several famous names attached, including Brendan Fraser who is the title character and Star Wars' Mark Hamill. The animation is on the clunky side, and it can remind audiences of the popular video game, The Sims . Overall, the story is well done, and the characters make it a film to watch for animation fans.

10 Ali Baba and the Seven Saracens (1964)

Starring: gordon mitchell (omar), dan harrison (sindbad/ali baba), bella cortez (princess fatima).

Known as Simbad contro i sette saraceni in Italy, this film is not that well known and only has one review on Rotten Tomatoes . The movie is a bit on the grainy side with background static throughout, but it is a good movie with action sequences and romance. Sinbad is not the main star but a side character, while an evil warlord is the focus of the film. Like most of the Sinbad movies on this list, there is a damsel in distress, but it works well for the movie and the action sequences are interesting to watch.

9 Sinbad (1992)

Starring: cam clarke (sinbad), tony ail, gregg berger (captain chung), corey burton (prince 1).

Sinbad may be an adaptation of the original story, and it is one of the shorter movies on this list, at only 50 minutes long. A direct-to-video film, it was distributed as part of the now-defunct GoodTimes Home Video. The 1992 animated film has plenty of good-hearted moments and is good for children who are learning about Sinbad's story for the first time. For music fans, it also has a catchy theme song with plenty of classical music mixed in, including "A Night On Bald Mountain" during Sinbad's first encounter with the sea monster.

8 Sinbad and the Caliph of Baghdad (1973)

Starring: robert malcolm (sinbad), sonia wilson (sherazade), luigi bonos as firùz, arturo dominici (visir).

Known as Simbad e il califfo di Bagdad in Italian, this version of Sinbad was director Pietro Francisci's final film before he died in 1977 . It is an interesting take on the classic tale since Sherazade, the wife of the king from the original Arabian Nights story, has a starring role in the film. There is not much known about the film itself apart from what is on YouTube, but the action sequences on the film are well-done and the costumes are accurate for the time that Sinbad lived in.

7 Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas (2003)

Starring: brad pitt (sinbad), catherine zeta-jones (princess marina), michelle pfeiffer (eris), joseph fiennes (prince proteus of syracuse).

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas had mixed reviews from critics on the animation style and voice acting, but otherwise was a box office bomb. Despite all that, it is a fun take on Sinbad's story and has many famous faces in the voice cast, including Brad Pitt as Sinbad and Catherine Zeta-Jones starring as Sinbad's love interest, Marina. While it may not be the most successful film of Sinbad's story, the villain Eris is a highlight in the film, as she is one of the most intelligent Dreamworks villains .

6 Arabian Nights (1942)

Starring: shemp howard (sinbad), jon hall (haroun-al-raschid), maria montez (scheherazade), john qualen (aladdin).

Unlike other Sinbad movies on this list, 1942's Arabian Nights has no monsters or supernatural creatures in the film. Focusing primarily on the action sequences, this film was a huge success with audiences when it came out. Despite some mixed reviews from critics on the confusing story, Maria Montez as Scheherazade plays a crucial role in the film. While Sinbad does not have a starring role in the film, Arabain Nights is a unique take on the classic story and the focus on action and costumes make it a fun one to watch.

Based out of India, The Adventures of Sinbad has been relatively well-received by critics and some of the characters may remind audiences of Disney's 1992 classic Aladdin . There is not much known about the movie apart from the trailer, and it is not available online for U.S. audiences yet. The trailer has a lot of interesting premises and leaves audiences hopeful that an international release date will come soon.

5 Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (1977)

Starring: patrick wayne (sinbad), taryn power (dione), margaret whiting (zenobia), jane seymour (farah), patrick troughton (melanthius).

A classic by Ray Harryhausen, this film is the final one of the Harryhausen Sinbad movies that came out in the late 1950s and late 1970s. True to his style, Harryhausen's special effects come into play and boast some interesting action sequences with plenty of heart. While some critics were not too thrilled with the acting, others agreed that the film is a Harryhausen classic and should be enjoyed. The film is also one of the few on this list that has a female villain played by popular '40s singer Margaret Whiting.

4 Sinbad Anime Film Series (2016)

Starring: tomo muranaka (sinbad), naomi nagasawa (ali), momoko tanabe (sana), hiroko yakushimaru (latifa), takeshi kaga (captain razzak).

Released to celebrate Nippon Animation's 40th anniversary in 2016, this series of films was well-received by critics and pays direct homage to Sinbad's original story. Once again, this film series ages Sinbad down to being a young boy and keeps it family-friendly to appeal to kids. According to Rebecca Silverman from The Anime News Network , it is a good story despite its bittersweet ending has two sets of solid voice actors and is "enjoyable at any age".

3 Sinbad the Sailor (1947)

Starring douglas fairbanks jr. (sinbad), maureen o'hara (shireen), walter slezak (melik), anthony quinn (emir), mike mazurki (yusuf).

With Douglas Fairbanks Jr. starring in the title role, 1947's Sinbad the Sailor was a mixed success with audiences when it came out, with critics praising Fairbanks' action sequences but being left unsure of the story. The film boasts a high rating of 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and has plenty of action sequences that make it a film worth watching. Fairbanks' chemistry with Maureen O'Hara makes it worthwhile and is a fun classic for audiences who like old swashbuckling movies from the 1940s.

2 The 7th Voyage of Sinbad (1958)

Starring kerwin mathews (sinbad), kathryn grant (princess parisa), richard eyer (barani the genie), torin thatcher (sokurah).

Considered to be one of the best Sinbad films made , this Ray Harryhausen film has a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and earned a place in the National Film Registry in 2008 (via LOC ). The 7th Voyage of Sinbad did well upon its release in 1958, making millions at the box office, and is still well-liked by modern-day critics. The film is best known for the action sequence where Sinbad goes up against the Cyclops and has been credited as being the inspiration for multiple filmmakers, including George Lucas.

1 The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973)

Starring: john phillip law (sinbad), caroline munro (margiana), tom baker (prince koura).

This classic Ray Harryhausen story is another box office hit and the second of the three Harryhausen Sinbad movies. With a good cast led by John Phillip Law, this version of Sinbad's story is one of the most loyal to the original. Harryhausen's special effects add to the story and audiences who are fans of fantasy adventures will like the action sequences. The film also pays tribute to classic sword fighting sequences, making it one of the best Sinbad adaptations out there.

Synopsis for "The Fantastic 4th Voyage of Sinbad"

A strange mist begins rolling across the city of New York, grinding everything to a halt. With the water ways ordered cleared, nobody sees an impossibly ancient sailing ship appear out of the mist and heading into New York harbour. Not far away at the Fantastic Four's Pier Four headquarters, the Fantastic Four wait at an open portal as Reed and Sue's children Franklin and Valeria (a teenaged girl from a possible future) arrive home from Haven with their bodyguard Caledonia and Franklin's Inhuman dog Puppy. It's a happy reunion all around and the family sits down to a pizza dinner, little knowing the adventure that is about to unfold. As the mist begins to roll inland, the Fantastic Four and their family begin to retire for the night after a peaceful evening. Soon this tranquillity is interrupted when out of the mist come four elementals who attack the members of the Fantastic Four in their beds.

Each member is caught off guard but soon defeat the attackers when they switch opponents. Hearing a racket outside they exit the building to see a massive hydra attacking the children and Caledonia. Attacking the beast when suddenly they are confronted by its master, a mystical being calling himself Jihad. Jihad tells the adventurers that they belong to him and he blasts them with mystical energy. When Reed and Sue wake up they find themselves in the captains quarter of the sailing ship that appeared out front of their headquarters. Checking the ship they find the others safe and sound but they are out in the middle of the sea with no idea of where they are or what their foe has in store for them. Searching the ship, they make an astonishing discovery: That this ship is owned by the legendary sailor Sinbad and that the hero was seeking various mystical artefacts: the a Mystical Eye (which beholds all), a gauntlet (to grasp all) a Crystal Casque (to contain all) and the Mallet of Destiny (which releases the heart's desire). Suspecting that Jihad is seeking to obtain these objects the Fantastic Four decide that they will seek them out themselves. Ben vows to find them for Sinbad, wherever he may be, unaware that the masthead of their ship is crying.

Their first quest is to find the Crystal Casque which they track down to a massive floating island made of crystal. With the reflective surfaces it is difficult to figure out how to navigate the island, until Sue uses her invisibility powers to traverse it without casting a reflection. Next they search for the gauntlet, which takes them to a strange kingdom where Reed pits his chess skill against the emperor, with their chosen champions acting as real life chess pieces. Reed's superior skill allows them to win the match and recover the gauntlet. Next they seek to recover the hammer. In an ancient temple they battle the creature known as Iblis, who transforms Reed, Sue and Johnny into demons. It's Ben's strength at that allows them to win the day. Compromising the temple with his strength, Ben allows sunlight to enter it for the first time in centuries. The light causes the marble surfaces to cast a reflection with, upon looking on her own image, causes Iblis to turn into stone. With their foe defeated, the others are restored to normal and Ben recovers the hammer. On their way to seek the eye, they are attacked by a massive Ruhk, but manage to evade destruction thanks to Sue's invisible force fields. Soon they are upon a rocky island where many ship ruins are floating in the waters. Inside they find a massive statue in the form of Shiva with the eye placed on its forehead. In their way is the massive Rouk and its nest of hatchlings. Using his flame, Johnny scares off the Rouk and its hatchlings, saving a strange green creature that was to be their next meal. Recovering the eye, the Fantastic Four return to shore, rescuing the strange creature in the process. Once there they are surprised to discover that this creature was merely Jihad in disguise. Having tricked the Fantastic Four into recovering the mystical objects for him. Taking them and turning Franklin, Valeria, and Caledonia into wooden statues, Jihad takes them along with two others -- one of which was the masthead of their ship. Quickly, Ben has Sue launch him up at Jihad's massive hands and he rends one of the wooden statues free just moments before Jihad teleports away.

Sue is upset that Ben grabbed a statue that wasn't her children, but they quickly learn why: the statue that Ben grabbed was the imprisoned form of Sinbad the sailor, and upon freeing him from Jihad, Sinbad has been restored to human form. Sinbad explains that Jihad has sought out these items to make himself the ruler of Sinbad's world and that once he has conquered this one, the world the Fantastic Four live in will surely be next. With his own daught, Dioné, also a prisoner of Jihad, Sinbad vows to help the Fantastic Four stop their mutual foe. With their ship wrecked, the Fantastic Four use their powers to subdue the Rouke and use it as a means of following after Jihad. At a city not far away, Jihad prepares the mystical artefacts and the wooden statues of his victims. He intends to increase his power through the mystical objects, and then use the life forces of his prisoners to travel between worlds and conquer this dimension and that of Earth. While the rest of the Fantastic Four keep Jihad busy, Ben and Sinbad recover the prisoners as well as the mystical objects. After Ben lands a powerful blow that sends Jihad flying into the nearby water, Sinbad begins preparations to free their family members. With each of the Fantastic Four utilising one of the objects, they channel their powers and mystical energies to restore the prisoners back to flesh-and-blood. When Jihad returns for a second round, the thing wallops him with the Hammer of Destiny, destroying Jihad and completing the spell, freeing everyone.

With their quest over, Sinbad and his daughter sail the Fantastic Four back to New York City where they find that very little time has passed in their dimension. As a parting gift, Dioné gives Ben a portrait of herself and her father and wishes him all the luck finding love in his life. Soon Sinbad and his daughter are sailing off and disappear into the mist that brought them here.

Continuity Notes [ ]

• Valeria von Doom is actually an adult version of Valeria Richards the stillborn second child of Reed and Sue. Valeria didn't survive the child birthing process as depicted in Fantastic Four #267 . This is revealed in Fantastic Four (Vol. 3) #49 . Franklin ultimately uses his powers to restore Valeria to her newborn state so Sue can give birth to her again in Fantastic Four (Vol. 3) #50 .
• Franklin and Valeria have been sent to Otherworld for their own safety when the Fantastic Four were busy dealing with Doctor Doom and his Generals from Counter-Earth . They were sent away in Fantastic Four (Vol. 3) #25 and 27 respectively.
• Ben looks at old photos of himself and the mutant known as Logan -- later Wolverine. Ben met Logan at least twice prior to his transformation in the Thing. These encounters were chronicled in Wolverine (Vol. 2) #-1 and Before the Fantastic Four: Ben Grimm and Logan #1 – 3 .
