@Alias Fakename ok im a month late but, the 100 souls are a twist of irony by Davy Jones. When Jack Sparrow releases the slaves (100 of them to be exact) he doesn't escape the East India Trading Company, his ship is sunk and he is branded. He makes a deal with Davy Jones to get his ship back, and it is rebranded as the Black Pearl, but Davy Jones demands 100 souls in return, which as you can see through the 2nd and 3rd movie, Jack really isn't that interested in complying

We would even use those vhs to build buildings for our toys like a stable as I did for my Barbie horses while having a vhs our parents were watching play in the background but we would end up watching as well too even if it was way too adult for us lol. No the worst thing that could happen was the tv or vhs player broke or your favorite tape but then instead we read our many books from the babysitters club, goosebumps to scary stories to tell in the dark or played with our many toys. All we had was basic crayons and not all the art supplies my kid has today and still ignores for the most part. No it was when our power was out the entire day or night cause someone hit a electric pole was the worst. Today it gets fixed within minutes but then it could be all day or all night with only candles and talking to each other to keep our sanity. I love my internet today don't get me wrong but I like once in awhile when for whatever reason the internet and etc goes out so I can tell my kid go read a book or get creative cause you guys get so helpless just losing the internet. I remember as a kid even when the power went out it was at least fun the first hour or so. No the worst was when your favorite vhs tapes finally broke from being played too many times and you didn't trust your parents to rebuy it 😅.

I can't remember where, but I've heard recently that 2D animation likely suffered a sort of coordinated, intentional death at the hands of the Disney head at the time, who had it in his head that 3D animation was the future, that 2D animation would and should fail completely. Other companies copied the approach, because Disney. I can imagine Sinbad and Treasure Planet not doing well were probably a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, considering they still both have small but really dedicated fandoms and Pirates of the Caribbean not having this issue ended up being one of Disney's more lucrative franchises. I have no idea why Pirates of the Caribbean didn't manage to spawn more pirate movies, though, I'm still mad that it didn't.

[@SeanWickett]

Interesting. Considering the anti-poaching/wage cap scandal that embroiled the industry (and probably still does) I wouldn't put it past them (studio execs) to tank classical over CGI fare. But aside from The Iron Giant, most classically animated films of that era had terrible stories and are nigh unwatchable. I can imagine some execs pushing to enter production before the story had been fully fleshed out, while giving time for CGI films to develop. But that's probably hogwash, as Pixar had autonomy to polish a story before entering production and many studios would be loath to spend another year (financially) working on story. Pixar just dominated the industry so completely that even Disney's dedicated studio (Secret Lab or ...Circle 7?) made half baked junk just like Dreamworks and others. Well, whatever happened, most agree that Michael Eisner was an ass who did his best to destroy classical animation as a medium. Also that jackass that torpedoed Iron Giant. (Sidenote: There's so much to unpack about that era of animation, that I suspect Sinbad was supposed to be a fully CGI animated film, but human characters were just not workable. At least until Pixar developed the "base-man" (don't have the will to Google it) technology that underpinned the ability to make The Incredibles. So thank Brad Bird and his friends for making CGI films watchable. 😉)

I just rewatched Sinbad, and about the thing with the Cities... The Council of the Twelve Cities contains several members of different ethnicities. At least one of them appears to be asian, probably Chinese, two appear to be of middle eastern or african origin, and one large fellow with a thick red beard could be of germanic descent, or maybe russian. Maybe the Pact of the Twelve Cities, or whatever it's called, isn't so much a pact between twelve greek Cities, but rather an international one, similar to the UN.

I have so many great memories with this movie. At the time, my father had just been hired at Dreamworks shortly before the release of The Road to El Dorado, and I still remember clearly the day when he excitedly told me that the studio wanted to take animated films to the next level, and elementary schooler me was all in for it. I still have several early Dreamworks animation memorabilia, but all of my Sinbad stuff is super special to me. This is such a well-crafted film, and it's a shame how overlooked it is when it did well what other studios were so badly trying to also do - breathe life into their characters and give them meaningful arcs that make you forget that these are animated characters, not real-life actors. This was one of the films that really pushed me into appreciating the power of visual storytelling.

Genuinely brought tears to my eyes at the end. Sinbad was always one of those movies of my childhood I remember actually striking a different feeling into me. It hit me as this amazing movie for some reason I couldn't place, and I genuinely had a big love for pirates as a small kid. Now, I eventually shifted to Cowboys for a while after, and then ultimately space cowboys and my love for Star Wars. But Sinbad was always one of those movies that I reflect on with a lot of Nostalgia because I watched it all the time when I was little. Miss this style of animation, and it's a damn shame we never really get mature movies out of it due to animation being considered mostly for kids until the popularization of anime in the west recently. Great vid, I definitely love the vibe of the channel and would reccomend anyone reading this comment subscribe. This is another one where the creator puts a lot of effort into their videos because they have a genuine love for it, so I feel he deserves recognition.

[@FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule]

It may have been a box office failure, but honestly this movie is phenomenal. I remember watching this movie on Cartoon Network many times. I remember the sheer excitement and joy. The beauty and adventure, the badass designs. I also remember having a crush on Rat but uhh.... we don't talk about that! Seriously this movie holds a special place in my heart. There's something about the adventure and environments that are so perfect. I honestly can't describe it, there's this almost nostalgic feeling, like this is how it should be

[@MercedesCorvette]

You won't believe how many of my friends as an adult have never heard of this movie, much less seen it. I adore this DreamWorks classic and grew up with it.

So well done and giving this masterpiece the recognition it deserves!

[@PunchLine213]

I don’t have like a point to this, but sinbad was one of my brother and I’s favourite movies growing up. We had it on DVD (we still might, time to climb into the attic to hunt) and for a while there it was watched at least once a week. My brother and I would (try to) imitate the sword fights and I was pretty much always trying to nail an impersonation of Eris (“places to go, things to destroy, stuff to steal” is tattooed into my brain I have said it so many times and I sTill cannot get it). I don’t remember much else surrounding it, but the people I know who saw it growing up overall have the same kind of stories and definitely the same affection for it. It’s honestly really sad that it was regarded as such a failure because it’s it’s wonderful! And the story is one that I still come back to some times. I genuinely think that even if you can simplify sinbad’s arc down to a “be true to yourself” message, it’s one of the best narratives to express it. In the face of gods and kings, telling him “this is what you are and all you will ever be”, despite internalising that idea, he proves them wrong. And it’s not because he’s some infallible good guy accidentally miscast as a scoundrel, it’s because the people around him, the crew, proteus, marina, love and believe in him and see him as more than that, more than he saw himself as, and so he starts to see and believe it too. And that has always stayed with me, and I think it’s an important story to share with kids. You can be more that what authorities define you as. It’s easy to be heartless and hard to let people in, but you have to, it’s how you grow. Also I love that the big act of rebellion against the system stops being “stealing this important magic book” and becomes the act of refusing to play the role it cast him as. The other thing that’s stayed with me is an undying love for Catherine Zeta Jones’ voice holy wow. Bonus shout out to how fluid Eris’ movement is it’s really beautiful to watch. Thank you for making this video, it’s brilliant. I have to climb into an attic now. Fiji? Fiji. Maybe Fiji will be our always.

[@marinavam99]

When I was a child and watched Sinbad for the first time and still as an adult I'm fascinated by the lightning lanters scene. It represents the start of an adventure. A ship leaving the port while the sun sets in the background and the crew getting ready for a new journey, a new adventure. Combined with that perfect score it's just amazing. It creates this feeling of exitement that I just can't put in to words.

[@vtr0104]

Same for me with the scene in Treasure Planet where they're prepping the Legacy for launch and the score Howard did for that one. They're 2 different kinds of scenes, with Sinbad being a kind of quiet purpose, and Treasure Planet being like a kick in the arse, but both have this feeling of setting off for something unknown. Both still make me cry... and I'm 35.

[@_elevenofspades]

Damn, that analysis of Sinbad’s gut reactions when it comes to Marina is fascinating. He is actively faking disdain when nothing bad is going on, but when they’re thrown into perilous situations he IMMEDIATELY abandons this performance and initiates physical contact (holding her, carrying her, etc.) to protect her/lead her away from the danger. This shows how Sinbad is simply pretending to be this careless monster, and his true feelings come out when the people he cares about are being threatened. This applies to both Proteus and Marina. I used to watch this movie a lot when I was younger, and I never thought twice about it. I thought it was just a fun time. But this video made me realize just how layered this seemingly-simple pirate tale is, especially when it comes to Sinbad himself. Wonderful video. I immediately subscribed! 💖💖

you evoke such a mix of emotions with your essays... it's an animated children's film, a medium often dismissed (it only has one category in the oscars- really, we're lumping prince of egypt and ferngully 2 in the same category? really?), but that impacts us so much because it was a part of our formative years. you capture that childhood wonder and earnestness, while also pairing it with such a breadth of knowledge. the context you settle us into before starting the film analysis is so engaging it makes me want to watch all of these old films I've never heard of. and then i've heard flaws of this film reiterated ad nauseum, but your insistence on an unbridled enjoyment of the film just made me appreciate it so much more. and then that bittersweet end, that acknowledgement of company pandering to whoever will cut them the largest check and thus the loss of some narratives, thank you for confirming something i've noticed but couldn't articulate, as you did with the Tiana and Lottie note. it's this ability you have to balance the gravitas of an adult who bears the weight of all they have experienced with the child who yearns for that experience and revels in it. alsothewaythatyoureadOzymandiasmademewanttomarryyou

I've been sitting here thinking about the last few minutes of this video. Even though we want to believe that art is eternal and can speak to anyone, even years after it's been made, the fact is that people change, they lose interest. People lost interest in noir, in musicals, in pirates, and as a result, they've fallen out of pop culture and aren't seen as much anymore. Hell, the last I heard of Sinbad was in the Magi anime. I watched 2 seasons of that show and remember so much of it but can't even remember if he was a pirate. But to say that the desert is hell isn't something I can stand behind. What greater gift could you possibly give than to be stuck in a world where glimpses of greatness lead to further exploration? This video alone is a small glimpse of what pirates have to offer to storytelling. Do you know the amount of people who will at least give pirates a chance because of this video? Who might discover a new love for them? The desert in the movie might be hell, but the desert of forgotten ideas and stories is quite possibly the furthest thing from it. It's an infinite expanse of the stories told by our predecessors, the building blocks of what art has evolved to and will continue to evolve to. And those small glimpses of what was, the curiosity and drive to uncover them and to see if they have a place in the modern day, is nothing short of amazing. Sure, maybe pirate cinema is dead. Maybe it'll come back. Maybe it won't. But the glimpse of greatness you saw and are sharing with us now won't be forgotten.

[@overlydramaticpanda]

If there's one thing you can be absolutely sure of in entertainment, it's that things come in waves. Genres especially, to the point where it's probably best to wait at least 40 years before attempting to definitively say "[insert type of movie here] is dead". Audiences who loved trends and specific genres when they were kids will inevitably lose interest at some point before just as inevitably becoming nostalgic for the thing they once loved. The pirate genre in particular, in my opinion, has never really been anything close to "dead" since it first appeared as a film genre. It dips in and out of general popularity but there has definitely been a fairly steady stream of pirate-related media or media that prominently features pirate iconography from pretty much the 90s right up until now with a boom in popularity just after Sinbad was released.

[@chickenpermission6969]

these analysis videos are works of art in their own right. they bring you on a rollercoaster of emotion, rising in the middle with the blatant love of these films, only to leave you with an aching longing for what could have been in the end. i’ve never even seen sinbad or the black cauldron and i haven’t watched the road to el dorado, treasure planet, or howl’s moving castle in years and yet, it feels like i’ve known them and their bittersweet tragedy my whole life. breadsword, you make me want to write poetry. these are wonderful. thank you for the work and love you put into these. x

[@MrCurlyHairAndFriends]

This really is one of those movies that you watch, and afterwards feel will never see anything like it again, same goes for Treasure Planet(which I say is better by all regards but I think im just being painfully biased thanks to it being my all time favorite movie), Road to El Dorado, and the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Over the past 4 years, I've been writing a story that doesn't seem to want to have a final form yet, constantly trying to fight me because of how in depth I want the tale to be, to be in some resemblance of greatness as to the few I mentioned. But I feel detail may just be what I'm overdoing, especially after watching these videos. The one consistent thing in these tails isn't how they explain everything, isn't how high they stakes are, but what they simply tell. And that's a good story. It's always a phenomenal joy seeing you post videos, and always a bit insightful and inspiring on how I can change my narrative to be a more compelling and less messy story. Thanks for the video Bready, it means a lot to me and everyone else here(:

[@Emarella]

Huge Treasure Planet fan here myself. From my own writing experience, never give up working on it until it's finished, even if it feels overwhelming! Keep working at it, because over time, you'll get it to be better and better as you gain more experience on storytelling and the story YOU want to tell. And don't put the pressure of trying to get it to perfectly match your vision and scope. It doesn't need to be perfect for it to be complete. Best of luck on your story!

I had actually never seen Treasure Island or Sinbad as a kid when they were released. I don't know if they just didn't market it enough or what.

I really love love love Road to El Dorado so I'm sure this will be amazing too. Your videos are so nostalgic and they even contain the oft-forgotten part of nostalgia that is sadness. Sadness that this gorgeous hand-drawn animation is a bygone thing, or that our society is no longer in love with swashbuckling tales. I still think we always love a good antihero. In the end, that is what comes to mind when I think of pirates. We have found other ways to portray antiheroes. So maybe we actually haven't moved on, we just found more ways to express our fondness of scoundrels with a heart of gold. I love all of your videos. Thank you for making them!
