The actors, John Philip Law, as Sinbad, and Caroline Munro, as the flimsily dressed slave girl who is along on the voyage largely for scenic purposes are not quite so animated as the mythic creatures surrounding them.
The movie is short on talk, except for the windbag wizard (Tom Baker) who plays the villain, and long on action, quite the proper proportion for entertainments like this. Sinbad is light, silly fun, and kids will probably appreciate both the skillful technique of the fantasy.
Shaw voiced his role over two days whilst in Madrid as a favour to director Hessler and insisted his name be left off the credits.
