This animated film, released in 2003 by the DreamWorks Animation Studio, stars:
Brad Pitt (Sinbad)
Catherine Zeta-Jones (Marina)
Michelle Pfeiffer (Eris)
Joseph Fiennes (Proteus)
Dennis Haysbert (Kale)

Its MPAA rating is PG for “adventure action, some mild sensuality and brief language” (IMDB.com). This animated movie was made for a popular audience. It is mainly intended for children or families. Much of the humor is clearly intended for adults or older children, and according to Variety writer Todd McCarthy some of the themes and actions are too mature for the younger audience to appreciate (honor, trust, and Proteus’s sacrifice.) However, this could just signal a difference of opinions between the Disney movies that audiences are used to, compared with Dreamworks. Perhaps this studio just believes that children can handle themes and morals while Disney studios keep the morals and themes very simple for children. Although the movie was not a huge commercial success in the United States, it was well received by audiences outside of the U.S.
