I just finished watching The Magic Voyage of Sinbad. It's a Russian Sinbad movie, but you could probably just abbreviate it as a Russian Bad movie. It starts out with Sinbad returning home with nothing but a magic harp. He finds his home town changed, the merchants rich and everyone else poorer than ever. While playing his harp by the sea he is visited by the daughter of Neptune, who hears his lament. She promises to give him golden fish if he cast his net for her. Sinbad then makes a deal with the merchants who refused to fund his voyage to find happiness: if he catches golden fish then they give him everything they own. If he doesn't catch them, then they can have his head. They fall for it, and lose everything. Sinbad has his cronies hand out everything to the people, but they're still not happy. To top it off, now that all the riches have been doled out, there's nothing left for him to fund his voyage. Hearing his whiny crying, the daughter of Neptune again helps Sinbad by turning the fish into real gold.
Thus funded, Sinbad leaves his home town and his true love in search of happiness (ironic, isn't it?) Sinbad and his crew sail around the world looking for the bird of happiness, but never find it. They finally decide to go home, and during a terrible storm Sinbad sacrifices himself to Neptune to save the crew. He plays his magic harp for Neptune's court, and is asked to marry one of Neptune's daughters. He picks the princess that helped him earlier, but with the secret agreement with her that she would help him escape to his home and his true love. She does, and promises him that she'll never see him again. He escapes by riding a seahorse faster than Neptune's chariot, which was chasing him.
I give this movie one egg-shaped empty seat, for the woman-bird of sleepiness that Sinbad did find.
