What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Ray Harryhausen's Dynamation gives the Cyclops, dragon, giant bird, skeletons, and other creatures distinctive tactile movement.
Sokurah's lost magic lamp and its captive boy genie provide the impetus for returning to Colossa.
Sokurah initially receives aid from Sinbad but manipulates the princess's shrinking and the expedition for his own ends.
Sinbad, Baghdad, princesses, sultans, genies, enchanted islands, and magical quests draw on Arabian Nights imagery.
