Why We Rated This iffy for Ages 7–9

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    Strong female and minority characters. Some saucy humor for an animated movie.
  • Violence & scariness:

    An innocent character faces threat of execution. Characters constantly face peril. Very young children might be frightened by the threat of beheading and the masked executioner one character faces.
  • Sexy stuff:

    Half of a naked backside for humor, cheeky quips of the "beef and two veg" type, more sensuality than usual for an animated movie.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    Not an issue.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas

Parents need to know that the characters are almost constantly in peril ranging from enormous snow-hawks to giant squid to sailing off the edge of the world. Very young children might be frightened by the threat of beheading and the masked executioner one character faces for a crime he did not commit.

  1. I rate this title on for age 9 and give it 2.0
    My concerns are:
    • Inappropriate sexual content

    Dazzling special effects with some great monsters and action sequences. The rest is rubbish, with characters you don't care for and way too many sexual quips.

    There you go again, CS, ignoring lessons!

    Despite all the reasons for me to hate you guys, at least you usually pay attention to the lessons in movies! But not this time, oh no! You didn't mention ONCE how Sinbad was willing to sacrifice his life for a friend! You also failed to mention how Sinbad's bad behavior is just an act and that he accepts it all in the end. Overall, this is a severely underrated film. It has nearly-nonstop action, so it's very fun to watch and it's very original. I know it kinda goes against the original story, but then again, I really liked Hercules, so obviously I couldn't care less about that. Overall, I fail to see why people dislike this movie so much. It's funny, it's well thought-out, it's an overall fun experience. CS, I gotta say this: Lighten up. Just because movies tend to teach lessons, that doesn't mean it has to be its soul purpose. Even if you can't see the lessons, can't you just avoid removing a whole point for that? Seriously, you do that a lot.

    I rate this title iffy for age 5 and give it 3.0

    We enjoyed the movie despite that there were very few "calm" scenes -lots of fast action scenes. The characters were delightful!
