SINBAD: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS (2003) **1/2 (VOICES OF: Brad Pitt, Cathereine Zeta-Jones, Michelle Pfeiffer, Joseph Fiennes, Dennis Haysbert, Jim Cummings) Better than anticipated animated version of the legendary swashbuckler/rogue of the oceans (a lugubrious Pitt) this time facing a quest to return a powerful `Book of Peace' from the duplicitous Eris, a goddess (Pfeiffer in silky-smooth deviousness vocals) while curbing his desire for his friend's sexy girlfriend (Zeta-Jones providing some enthusiastic zest). The real stars are the computer generated visuals involving some slapstick action sequences, immense monsters, the goddess as a giantess and some amazing environs (including an Arctic encounter) as well as some nods to legendary stop-motion wiz Ray Harryhausen whose career was enhanced by his works on several other Sinbad incarnations. (Dirs: Tim Johnson and Patrick Gilmore)
