				Why watch this? 
				The mythical creatures are a treat, especially the hungry 
				Cyclops! 
				Plot Summary: 
				When an evil wizard shrinks a princess, Sinbad must journey to a 
				dangerous island to find the only cure. This perilous quest is 
				crucial, not only to save the princess, but also to prevent a 
				war between two kingdoms. Sinbad and his crew face terrifying 
				creatures and overcome magical obstacles in their quest to 
				restore the princess to her normal size. Dad's Preview: 
				This is Harryhausen's first Sinbad film. I was never a fan of 
				casting a Caucasian in the role of Sinbad, who would certainly 
				have been Middle Eastern, but I can let that go. The special 
				effects and creatures include a two-headed roc, a man-eating 
				Cyclops, and an awesome fire-breathing dragon. These 
				fantastical films were my childhood's Lord of the Rings 
				or Harry Potter.
