The voices. There are a few big names that stand out in the voices of the characters. Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta Jones, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Joseph Fiennes are all recognizable names- and voices- on the cast of characters. The movie was written by a co-writer of Gladiator, John Logan. The animation team can certainly be considered important artists behind Sinbad and the Seven Seas. The animation team is led by directors Tim Johnson and Patrick Gilmore. Johnson was a co-director of the animated movie Antz and Gilmore is an interactive-game veteran. Finally, the music of this animated movie is very beautifully written by DreamWorks regular Harry Gregson-Williams. (Variety.com)

Dreamworks. Another interesting note about the creation of Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is with regards to the founder of Dreamworks studio. The company, relatively speaking, a very young studio; it released its first movie in 1996. Jeff Katzenberg had the idea to start Dreamworks when he was not promoted after an incredibly successful career with animated movies at Disney. So Dreamworks had its start with the goal to be better than Disney. In 1998 it released The Prince of Egypt, an animation which did not do well much to co-founder Jeff Katzenberg’s disappointment and surprise. It was a religious animation which he loved and was very proud of. The historical story of the Prince of Egypt took on an animated and a religious form and did not do well, while animated comedies fared much better. So perhaps that is one reason Katzenberg was anxious for an historical animation with humor, such as Sinbad.
