   The Golden Voyage of Sinbad is a fun Arabian Nights adventure with creature effects by Ray Harryhausen, in most cases achieving a high standard of interaction between the live action footage and the stop motion puppets. The one people remember is the animated statue of Kali, but I really like the wooden figurehead coming to life. The last monsters are well animated too, but I don't feel like they're really part of the culture portrayed in that faraway land, so they are a disappointment in that sense. Stock creatures from Harryhausen's shop? As for the story, it's a quest to find magical treasure, or rather a race, since Sinbad and his crew of intrepids is dogged by the evil wizard Prince Koura, played with intensity by Tom Baker, who wants it for himself (it's what famously got him the role of Doctor Who, and he really does carry half the film). An exciting adventure film with some neat set pieces. 5 years 5 months ago
