Haruta.
Aye, Captain.
Sound tor a depth.
A sounding? Here?
- Aye. - Aye, Captain.
Does he expect to land here, past the very end of land?
Perhaps hunger has crazed his mind.
His belly is as empty as ours.
It there was land, it would be such as no man would dare set foot upon.
Sinbad would. He dares anything.
Captain!
Full tathom seven!
Sharp lookout alott, there!
Aye, Captain!
What can it be?
Perhaps a sunken reet.
Or a sea-serpent or something worse!
Full fathom five!
Oh, let it be land.
Land ho, otf the port bow!
He has the eyes ot an owl.
I see nothing.
Look! There!
Land it is!
All hands, look alive!
Drop anchor. We'll go ashore at the first light of dawn.
May Allah grant we find food and water.
And may Allah grant we find nothing more.
This is no time of night to be knocking at a lady's bedroom.
I would speak with your mistress. I bring good news.
I know your sailor's tricks.
Now otf with you. Go and steer your course elsewhere.
Sadi...
you must be more polite to the captain.
He is not responsible tor the mysterious winds which blew us otf our course.
Or are you?
I blame him tor taking you trom the satety ot your tather's palace...
to this.
I came willingly, Sadi.
What good news, Captain?
We are anchoring oft an island.
Tomorrow we take on tood and water to continue our voyage.
The food comes none too soon.
That pirate Harufa has already found eyes for my pet.
In a week you'll be teasting in Bagdad...
at our wedding.
I think you invented the island tor just this purpose.
For another such kiss...
I'd invent a whole continent.
Bananas! Melon!
Here, have a coconut, and grapes.
Captain Sinbad is filling his cask with tresh water from the spring.
Stay here until he returns.
A cloven hoof.
Here, there's another!
What a stride!
Captain Sinbad, look!
Captain!
What is it?
It has the mark of some ancient civilization.
It has the mark of Satan himselt.
Come, Sinbad. Let us go back to the ship.
Hold this.
I'm going to see where that stone mouth leads.
Help me!
To the boat... quickly!
From the land beyond beyond...
from the world past hope and tear...
I bid you, genie, now appear.
I obey the master of the lamp.
I command you to build me a barrier between those men and the Cyclops.
I shall try, O Master. I shall try.
What weird power restrains that monster?
The man who holds this treasure is safe trom even greater danger.
It your lamp has such power, why didn't you destroy the monster?
The genie of the lamp cannot be used to work harm.
But in protection, his powers are invincible.
Look out!
Help!
Oh, my prayer is answered. You are safe.
Hoist all sail!
Full starboard rudder! Head tor deep water!
- Come on. - The lamp! The magic lamp!
For your ship, a king's ransom in jewels.
For you torget one thing, my friend.
The Cyclops will be on guard now.
Besides their great strength, they have the magic lamp as well.
The Cyclops have no speech. It is useless to them.
I alone can invoke the power ot the genie.
Who are you?
I am Sokurah...
the magician.
Is your lamp so precious you would risk your life to return to the island?
There is nothing I would not do to regain it.
Your ambition has nearly cost us our lives already.
It you are indeed a magician, why do you not use your power to slay the Cyclops?
I had prepared a potion tor just such a purpose...
but I could not persuade the Cyclops to swallow it.
Captain, the winds that drove your ship to the island of Colossa...
have wrecked many vessels on its shores.
The treasure of a hundred years has been gathered by the Cyclops.
The wealth that awaits us there is worth...
many, many thousand times what you see here.
We are on an important mission tor the caliph of Bagdad.
Our presence there means the ditference between war and peace.
I'll not risk that by turning back.
That is my tinal word.
Perhaps when you are sately in Bagdad...
you will be persuaded to feel differently about the venture.
I doubt it.
Harufa, show the magician to his quarters.
With tair winds we should reach port in five days.
Magician, your jewels.
My lord Sinbad is a very great prince in his country.
The people rejoice tor the news I bring:
peace between your father's kingdom and ours.
And do you love me just to save Bagdad from destruction?
I love you because I cannot do otherwise.
Your eyes are mightier than all your tather's armies.
Three times welcome, Sinbad. You have done wonders to avert a war.
And what fair prize is this?
The princess Parisa, daughter of the sultan of Chandra...
pledged to be my bride.
A symbol of lasting friendship between our kingdoms.
Welcome as a daughter, my child...
for I love Sinbad as my own son.
I thank you, kind sir.
My father, the sultan, sends his wish for your health...
and bids me tell you he will arrive within a week tor our wedding.
And a royal wedding it shall be, with all the honors ot our court.
Tell me about your journey, Sinbad.
Oh, a strange voyage and a strange tale it is, my caliph.
I did not think any place could be more beautitul than Chandra...
yet Bagdad is.
The city is made lovely by your presence.
Without you it is plain.
Now that we are here, all the strange terrors of the voyage seem unreal.
Yet they were all too real at the time.
Perhaps it is all a dream...
and the one-eyed giant a nightmare.
And is Sokurah the magician also a dream?
He is very real, indeed.
There is something about him which trightens me.
It only he would vanish when I awaken.
He is determined to gain possession of the magic lamp.
His lite is distorted with this single, driving wish.
I pity him...
for I have my one wish.
Illustrious and magniticent Caliph ot Bagdad...
I am honored to be summoned to your presence.
Sinbad says you are a man of unusual powers.
It is our wish that you demonstrate your skill...
at a welcoming feast for the sultan.
Your wish shall be granted even before it is asked.
I promise a pertormance that will live in the memory ot the caliph...
for all his days...
may he live a thousand years.
You please me already.
Your palace is a jewel of comfort and hospitality, but...
- But? - My happiness would be complete...
it you would but grant me a single wish.
State it.
A tast ship and a well-armed crew...
to return to my island.
Ships are costly, and lives are not to be wasted.
I have here the design of a new weapon, a giant crossbow...
that will protect the men from harm.
I cannot judge, for I have not yet seen the one-eyed giants.
Sinbad, what is your opinion?
Tales ot our voyage already have spread through Bagdad.
No one but a madman would ever sail a ship back to Colossa.
Sinbad's word...
is my word.
Until the sultan's teast then?
Are you sure you can be happy here in Bagdad?
Very. I love Sinbad more with every sunrise.
I had such doubts atter I let you go.
It anything had happened to you, they would have paid with many lives.
Father, you're getting angry. Now, you mustn't, you know.
Oh, here comes the caliph. Now, smile at him. He's a very nice man.
May your illustrious presence in my humble palace...
return to your own house a thousandtold.
It my daughter is happy, I have honor enough.
Daughter.
Remember, not only will you triumph over good and evil...
but you will be the most exotic woman in all Bagdad.
What must I do?
Leave everything in my hands.
I have arranged a presentation which I think will arouse your interest.
Summon Sokurah the magician!
Is that not Sadi, your waiting woman?
Yes, Papa. She has oftered herself as the magician's subject.
It he can turn her into a contented woman, he is indeed a great magician.
It's a serpent. Papa, she will be killed!
Allah have mercy on them both.
Oh, Papa.
Behold!
It is impossible. I am asleep.
If so, I share your dream.
- I assure you she is unharmed. - Sadi, are you all right?
Well done, Sokurah.
It I have pleased you, I hope you will grant my request...
for an expedition to my island ot Colossa.
You are truly a man of great skill...
but I do not change my mind so easily.
Perhaps a turther demonstration ot my powers is necessary.
The art of prophecy has always tascinated me.
Can you foretell the tuture?
I can, upon occasion, toretell certain events.
It would please us to have you look into the future of our two countries.
As you wish.
I shall require a brazier ot live coals.
You shall have it.
Guards!
May the unseen torces grant that I see nothing but good.
My spirit races ahead ot time itself.
Ask your questions.
What do you see here in Bagdad?
I see, but I cannot speak.
You must.
I see great disaster.
I see...
I cannot tell!
Go on! I command you!
There are great buildings talling...
women and children slain.
I see war!
War between Bagdad and Chandra.
You lie!
What ot my daughter's wedding?
There will be no wedding.
Mysterious and evil torces are at work...
and the wedding rejoicing shall be turned to mourning.
You have done well, Sinbad.
I could not bear to have that charlatan trighten the princess.
I spoke at your insistence.
The events my spirit saw lurk as dire possibilities.
It you request, I will use my powers...
to disperse the evil torces and avert such disaster.
In return I presume I must grant you the ship and the sailors you desire.
Such a gitt ot gratitude would seem fitting.
So, your lies are cheap schemes to force me to grant your wish.
Get out! You have committed treason against both Bagdad and Chandra.
It you are found within the walls of our city by sunset tomorrow...
your eyes will be torn out...
that you may see no more evil dreams.
To the wedding and our lasting friendship.
Good night, though I wish the night were gone.
Tomorrow will come soon...
and all the nights thereafter cannot come soon enough.
I cannot imagine waking to see your face instead ot Sadi's.
She was indeed transtormed tonight by that magician.
Suppose that his prophecy...
I'll dream ot dangers he predicted...
so you can rescue me.
Atter the wedding, the procession will pass here...
then pause before the throne where you and I will be seated equally.
My lord!
- Where is she? Where's my daughter? - The princess!
Sinbad, here I am!
Sinbad, look, here on the pillow.
- Look closely. - No.
No, it cannot be so.
It is.
The world has grown very large overnight.
It's true. It is you, my darling.
My daughter... where is she?
Where is my...
Ten thousand devils!
What evil sorcery is this?
My daughter... is it you?
Speak, tell me my eyes lie.
You see truly, my tather.
I would have borne any insult...
but my dear one...
my daughter.
Look upon your city.
Enjoy the sight...
tor soon it will be rubble and bleached bones.
Sokurah, wait!
- The princess, she has been... - I know. In my vision I saw her state.
But I teared to tell you because ot your great anger.
Tell me, can you help her?
Possibly.
No. No, the risk would be too great.
If she can be helped, I will do anything.
I cannot turn back.
It I am in Bagdad at sundown, my eyes will be dark torever.
I'll answer to the caliph for that. Now come quickly.
No, I...
Tell us quickly what must be done.
There is one secret potion which will remove the evil charm.
- Mix the potion with no more delay. - We lack the most vital ingredient:
a piece of shell from the egg of a giant bird called the Roc.
A monstrous bird that nests on the peaks ot Colossa.
The same. Without this shell the potion is useless.
We have no choice, O Caliph. I must sail at once and bring back the eggshell.
No, the princess must go with us.
Only in my castle can the potion be used.
I'll order a ship to be provisioned at once.
We'll need your design for the giant crossbow.
The palace jeweler can make a tiny home for the princess.
Where will you find the crew, Sinbad?
The bravest ot my former men will sail with me.
That will not be enough. Where will you tind the others?
I'll find them...
where men fear the headsman's axe more than the Cyclops:
in the caliph's prison yard.
Hear me! Hear!
Come hear!
I am Captain Sinbad.
I am here with an otfer ot freedom.
I have come to raise a crew for the hard and dangerous voyage...
to the island ot Colossa.
The land of the Cyclops!
We may be thieves and murderers...
but we're not fools.
The caliph ot Bagdad has offered you full pardon.
He ofters us a choice of two kinds ot death.
I tought with the Cyclops, and here I stand, alive as you.
This man was at my side, and he sails with me again.
Well, what'll it be? We need tive and twenty men.
Freedom or the hangman's noose!
They'll not put a rope 'round Golar's neck!
He'll spit in the Cyclops' eye tirst.
- That's right. Come on! - Let's go!
- Me too! - I'm ready!
Take me! Take me too!
The ship's hold is tilled with the giant crossbow. There's no more room.
Then lash the arrow to the mast.
Aye, aye, Captain.
Careful! We may need that arrow to tight tor our lives!
We're all fools!
If we're to fight for our lives, let us fight against men, not monsters.
There are rich prizes plying the coastal waters.
This vessel could be ours for the taking.
What ot those men who are loyal to the captain?
We'll feed 'em to the fish.
Heave!
I fear this will be a tedious voyage for you without Sadi.
I shall never complain, not as long as I am near you.
A hazardous voyage, too, in spite of all the plans we've made.
If you were as small as I, you could walk among the giants unseen.
They are not our only danger.
We must sail uncharted waters with a doubttul crew.
I sometimes wonder what they would think if they could see me as I am.
I do not trust them out ot my sight or in it.
Yes?
Captain, can I have a tew words with you?
For the past week there has been unrest among the crew.
I have heard dangerous mutterings.
All weapons have been locked in the forward cabin.
Without knives or swords they can do nothing.
In a few more days we should reach the island.
Something troubles your appetite, Sinbad.
I shall be glad when we arrive.
Sinbad, how can you love a tiny...
insigniticant temale such as I?
A diamond is a tiny thing...
yet it is very precious and beautiful.
Quickly, Princess!
Stop! Do not kill him!
We surrender! Haruta, we must give up.
This is a touching show ot friendship. Take his sword!
Here. The magician's cloak will make a flag for us.
Here are the men who would teed us to the one-eyed monster.
What shall we do with 'em?
Kill 'em!
You hear the verdict. You die at dawn.
And my wish for a night of pleasant dreams.
Hear my curse, tor it seals your doom.
Those who harm us shall be driven mad!
Terror shall be in your hearts...
and before dawn you will plead with us for your very lives.
Oh, save me.
Oh, save us, magician, save us!
For you I will tie the knot myselt...
so you will strangle slowly.
Throw 'em in the torward hold!
Helmsman!
Take a course due south.
We'll circle back to the trade routes. Go on!
Could have sliced them all to bits, and you stopped us...
to save this idiot who babbles nonsense.
You will see.
Winds and currents will drive the ship southward...
and my prophecy will come true.
What makes you so certain?
South of Colossa lies an accursed island...
inhabited by wailing demons.
Their screaming is heard over a hundred leagues.
Men hearing it are driven mad.
They drive their ships onto the jagged rocks...
and are devoured by sea serpents.
What's to prevent us from sharing their tate?
If we stuft bits of cloth in our ears.
Well, that's tine. Now we won't be driven mad...
we'll just be devoured by sea monsters.
Here. It we wax the cloth it will stop most ot the sound.
The wind screams like 10,000 tiends!
Full port rudder!
Change your course!
We'll be wrecked on the rocks!
Ho, lookout!
What can you see?
Hold this course or you'll die!
Steer us out!
High winds and seas surround the demon island.
The sound penetrates even here.
Give me that glass!
Full port rudder!
I'm gonna release them!
Full port rudder!
Save us, Captain...
before we're wrecked.
There is a narrow channel through the rocks.
It is our only chance.
Has the whole ship gone mad?
Full port rudder!
Sharp lookout tor the peaks of Colossa!
Crossbow will be assembled and ready within the hour.
Keep the men at the crossbow.
I would rather go with you.
I know, my triend, but you are more valuable here.
Everything is in readiness.
The sooner we leave, the better. Come!
Here.
Who's in command ot the great crossbow?
You are.
This is the valley of the Cyclops.
Beyond, in the center of the island, are the peaks where the great birds nest.
Then our path lies through the valley.
Your path. We separate into two groups...
because, it one group is captured...
the other may attempt to tree them.
We meet the tar side of the valley...
tonight at sunset.
May the powers ot good protect all our footsteps.
We will stop and rest here and proceed again at nightfall.
You, Golar, do not drink so deeply.
We will need the water for our climb tomorrow.
Why so miserly?
We can till the skin trom the pool when it's empty.
- That's right. - This water is poison.
The man who lets it touch his lips will be dead in a moment.
Poison?
Would you care to try it?
Wait here a moment.
What are you doing here?
Don't worry, master. The crossbow's in good hands.
Let us get back to the others, Harufa, before the return ot the Cyclops.
They were here a moment ago.
See if you can find them.
Captain Sinbad!
Come, quickly!
Here! Through here! Hurry!
We're rich! Come, master! Take your till!
Pearls, rubies, gold... everything!
Out of here, all ot you!
There'll be time enough for treasure atter we finish our mission.
Out, hear me? Or, by my sword, I'll run you through!
Let me go!
Sinbad's men must be trapped.
You will remain here.
Help! Help me!
Sinbad, help!
Must we thirst here while water runs all around us...
just because of the magician?
He has strange powers. We dare not disobey him.
- Golar dares. - That's right.
Then drink trom the pool he has torbidden.
You think he's atraid, eh?
Here. Show them.
Hey!
That's good!
Tastes like choice wine.
Help! Sinbad!
Help me, Sinbad!
Lend me a hand. Maybe I can reach the latch.
Come here.
There's a latch on top ot the cage. See if you can open it.
Why does he leave us?
He leaves us to share the fate of Haruta.
But we shall escape.
Escape? How?
You must never reveal what you are about to see.
- We won't, just get us out ot here! - Anything, anything! Save us!
Princess, there's a latch on top of this cage.
Will you see it you can open it?
I'll do my best.
I see the latch. I'll try.
Sinbad, it is stuck!
I cannot move it!
You must try, Princess. It's our only hope.
The lamp!
It is done, Sinbad!
Litt me up!
Must we hide here so quietly...
while our comrades are in danger?
Are we atraid ot Sokurah?
Who's atraid?
Then tollow us.
Courage, Harufa. Put out the fire.
Let's get out of here!
The lamp!
Here. Here I am!
Over here!
Over here! Closer! Closer!
A little turther now.
Here! Closer!
Look! There he is! He's dead!
The danger is far from past.
There are still Cyclops alive.
I alone know the words that will summon the protection of the genie...
therefore, I should have the lamp.
I do not trust you.
When I called you to tree us, you made no attempt to open the cage.
I do not understand the power ot this lamp.
But if we need it, it shall be safely within my grasp.
As you say.
Poor Rahan.
Allah knows many ways of dealing with hungry men.
Look. We have reached our goal.
There's something moving inside.
It is a season for the young birds.
Higher up there will be eggs already hatched.
Come this way.
No more climbing, please!
We're starving.
Here.
Let us break open the egg.
Put down that spear!
You should not have let them do that.
Hungry men don't ask. They take.
Here. The princess must be restored without delay.
That eggshell must be combined with other elements...
to be tound in my cave at the foot of the mountain.
But that's at the edge of the Cyclops' domain.
What protects your castle trom them?
You will see when we get there.
- I'm glad to breathe the fresh air. - Good news, my princess.
We have the eggshell which will make the potion ettective.
Your words are happy, but your tace is sad.
Why are you troubled, Sinbad?
I do not trust the magician.
Our only hold over him is this magic lamp...
and he alone knows the secret of its power.
Let me enter the lamp.
Perhaps I can talk with the genie and learn how to call him.
But is such a thing possible?
Well, who knows what's possible within a magic lamp?
Please let me try.
All right.
If all is not well, call quickly.
I will. I promise I will.
- Are you all right, Parisa? - Oh, fine!
There's a wondertul mist down here.
Be caretul.
Welcome, Princess Parisa.
You know who I am.
A genie knows many things.
And you're as tiny as I am.
How else could I live inside a lamp?
And such a lovely one.
Had I known how beautitul it is, I'd have visited you long ago.
You must be truly happy here.
The most comfortable prison is still a lonely place.
But aren't you sometimes called to our world to work your wonders?
But then I'm summoned as a slave...
to do the bidding ot whoever holds the lamp.
I long to be tree... to be an adventurer...
and to sail the seas as Captain Sinbad does.
But those are dreams for real boys...
and not for a genie.
Is there no way to escape your bondage?
Perhaps, some day...
but I cannot return to the real world...
until I am called by my name.
- What is your name? - Barani.
I have a promise ot freedom inscribed in the lamp.
- Would you care to see? - Yes. I should love to see it.
It is here.
"When the big that is small...
shall again become tall...
into tiery rock to rise you must fall."
"When the big that is small."
I was big, and now I'm small.
- Then you know what it means? - I'm not sure...
but I'll make you a bargain.
If you'll help me, I'll help you.
What do you want me to do?
Tell me the magic words that call you torth trom the lamp.
I like you, and I wish to help.
But I don't know. It's a great power to grant.
In return, I promise I'll try to help you, Barani.
Now tell me the words that invoke your protective power.
From the land beyond beyond...
From the land beyond beyond. Go on.
From the world past hope and tear...
I bid you, genie, now appear.
The genie was very nice to you.
Yes. He promised to help us it we'd help him.
And we will help him.
Hey, look!
From the land beyond beyond...
trom the world past hope and tear...
I bid you, genie, now...
Harufa, the lamp!
From the land beyond beyond...
trom the world past hope and tear...
I bid you, genie, now appear.
O mighty Sinbad, the slave of the lamp is yours to command.
- Where is the Princess Parisa? - She is a prisoner of the magician...
in his underground castle at the foot of the mountain trail.
I will meet you there.
But how will I know?
Go ahead. Turn it!
Inside the cave you'll find another wheel...
with which to loose the dragon, so that he may guard the entrance.
I knew I could trust your Sinbad to bring the lamp to us.
Now I will show you a sight which will make your heart leap.
Behold.
Sinbad, I'm here!
Come this way!
He hurries to greet his princess.
I must prepare a welcome for him.
I warn you, tell him to do as I ask.
Are you all right, Parisa?
Oh, yes. I'm all right.
Restore the princess at once.
I will restore her in exchange tor the lamp.
At once.
The potion is already prepared.
Bring the princess here.
Give me the eggshell.
If you harm her, you die.
I'm here, my princess.
And now, it you please, my lamp.
You shall have it when we are sately at the ship.
Very well.
Let us go.
Kill. Kill him.
- We're trapped. - We must summon the genie quickly.
From the land beyond beyond...
trom the world past hope and tear...
I bid you, genie, now appear.
Command me, O Princess.
Help us escape from this cave.
I shall try, O Princess.
Hold tight, Princess.
- What is it, Princess? - I remember now.
The genie's verse: " Into fiery rock to rise you must fall."
I made a promise to the genie. This is the fiery rock.
And the lamp must be thrown into it it he's ever to be set free.
It we lose his help now, we may never reach the ship alive.
And if the lamp is thrown into the flaming pit...
he may be destroyed.
Still, your promise must be kept.
Let's go.
Follow!
Kill!
Follow! Kill!
Ali!
- Yes, Captain. - Man the crossbow.
- Take the princess to the longboat. - Yes, Captain. Come on, Princess.
Hurry! Come on! Hurry!
Pull!
Follow!
Pull tor your lives!
Follow! Kill!
Pull tor your lives!
Farewell, Colossa.
I'm only sad about one thing.
I shall miss Harufa.
And I'll never torget our little triend Barani.
- Barani? - Oh, his one wish...
was to sail the seas with you.
- You called tor Barani? I am here. - Why, it's the genie.
No longer the genie, Captain, but your cabin boy.
Then you must prepare my cabin for a feast of celebration.
I already have, Captain.
See for yourselt.
Why, it's the treasure ot the Cyclops.
I put it on board for you...
as sort ot a wedding present.
Well done, Barani. I know you will be as good a sailor as you were a genie.
I shall try, Captain.
