Trama e commenti: cinematografo.it - Dizionario Farinotti - film.spettacolo.virgilio.it - kataweb.it: «Per assicurare il califfato a suo figlio, la perfida Zenobia trasforma il legittimo erede in babbuino. Sinbad scioglierą l'incantesimo. Un po' fiacco nel ritmo avventuroso, un po' risaputo e gią visto nella vicenda. I mostri meccanici e i trucchi di Ray Harryhausen sono splendidi».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - entertainment.msn.com - nytimes.com - rottentomatoes.com - answers.com - wikipedia.org: «Starring Patrick Wayne in the title role of Sinbad, sailor and Prince of Baghdad who is seeking permission from Prince Kassim to marry his sister Princess Farah (Jane Seymour). A spell is placed on Kassim by their evil stepmother Zenobia (Margaret Whiting) turning him into a baboon (one of Harryhausen's stop-motion creations in the movie) just when he was going to be crowned caliph. Sinbad sets off with Princess Farah to find a wizard named Melanthius (Patrick Troughton), who knows where to discover a cure to break the evil spell. Sinbad and his crew eventually find Melanthius and his daughter Dione (Taryn Power) who agrees to help them in their quest. Melanthius tells Sinbad and his crew that they must travel to the land of Hyperboria to find the ancient pyramid where Kassim can be cured. While on their quest, Zenobia, her son Rafi, and the Minaton (mechanical version of the Minotaur) secretly stalk them. On their quest, Sinbad and his crew encounter creatures such as a giant walrus, a troglodyte (a creature that is friendly to Sinbad and his crew), a smilodon, a trio of ghouls, and a killer wasp».
