- Have you ever wondered why DreamWorks stopped making 2D animated movies? In this short video, we'll explore the answer and discover how the movie Sinbad Legend of the Seven Seas played a significant role in the decision. Join us as we dive into the box office flop that caused DreamWorks to lose over $125 million and ultimately led them to shift solely to 3D animated films.
Sinbad's animation went hard. Just imagine all the work that went into animating Eris' hair.
toe to toe with Treasure Planet, if you ask me
It's my childhood movie like bro stuff had real love in that
Eris was my childhood crush and her hair I think was the reason why. Like, damn it's smooth as hell!
Yasss 🤣🤣 love her hair
@shadowdroid776 you mean that literally 😢😂
Dreamworks made the Prince of Egypt and the road to El Dorado, those shows were 2D and they were Amazing
Dang I miss that era of animated movies. Those and Treasure Planet are some of my all time favorites 💔
@@deepsea5348 treasure planet was fucking awesome. Morph was my favorite
Same with "Joseph: King of Dreams".
@@shademournthepegasi2366 - I love that he was given to Jim in the end.
@@rebeccamichael626 agreed. Morph more than earned it
American Adults just don't respect Animation.
it’s either that, or Gen Zs

@@Jorunna_Parva I'm with you on this one Gen Z and Gen alpha are weird af. Never got their humour or stuff as gen Z myself.
what??? how did it flop?! Sinbad is one of my favorite 2D Dreamworks movies!
As a kid when it came out, we were all fatigued from half baked, half adult adventure movies. Tarzan, Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Quest for Camelot, Prince of Egypt, El Dorado... then Emperor's New Groove put a twist on the trope but man, every movie was the same thing. And then we got Sinbad, another cultural legend rewritten, and after what Disney bastardized into Hercules? None of us were interested. Bland looking characters with the same Dreamworks face, a washed out palette, and 2D and 3D that did not blend whatsoever... it looked like El Dorado's cheap sequal in the ads. Oh, and 9/11 played into the whole anti- Middle East thing. The movie that changed it all up was Lilo and Stitch, not Sinbad and the sexy lady goddess and the sexy lady wearing pants in a historical setting smh...
It. Was. AWESOME!!!
i never knew they made a movie abt Sinbad
@@Undomaranel "none of us"
You and your small group of friends don't speak for everyone bro.
They said “it flopped at the box office” not “flopped because people thought it sucked”
Sinbad is underrated AF. I'm actually kind of mad that people don't appreciate it
Cats Don't Dance was another flop sadly. It had a 32 million budget with a 3.5 million box office. It hit me directly in the feels.
Its amazing. I am sad Zvolen that I didnt know about this when I was child but now that I heard about it I watched it and I LOVE it. More people should watch it. It has great story and amazing characters and Eris' hair, her hair is so beautifully animated. Love it 💖💖
@@tactknightgaming2066shout out to you for being the one other guy who knows wtf Cats Don't Dance is. Probably the greatest musical movie ever imo
Bro cat's don't dance! THAT WAS MY SHIT GROWING UP!@@tactknightgaming2066
The Jews didn’t like it
How in the heck did princess and the frog flop? It's one of the best of disney's movies
100% agreed and I have no clue-
About that it was purposefully made to flop, Disney's CEO was trying to get into 3d as it is cheaper then 2d
It’s not just the box office these are favorites to a lot of people
That's what I'm saying
First off, it totally isn't even in their top ten. You're delusional. Secondly, Disney made it flop.
Honestly most forms of 2D animation finished around that time- which was a shame, because they were reaching that golden point where they were *incorporating* 3D but not using it primarily. Films like Treasure Planet, Sinbad, Atlantis- all swept under a rug of obscurity
They were far too expensive and there was a sort of trend where these movies would be released along some other big name and be knocked down in the box office. I believe Treasure Planet had to compete with a Harry Potter movie and that's part of why it tanked
@@sparking023 It was released around the same time Chamber of Secrets, Die Another Day (James Bond), and Santa Clause 2 came out.
A very bad time to get released, but even without that... Treasure Planet remains the most expensive 2d animated movie still. It's a beautiful movie, but that beauty took a lot of money to make it reality.
No, Dreamworks stopped using 2D animation becuase of how successful Shrek was.
That makes sense. Maybe it's the combination of both?
Shrek is love, Shrek is life
lmao shrek was so fricking good.
And what you think made they choise this animation style in first place?
@amanofnoreputation2164 my dad heard me and called me a f****t
Sinbad is so underrated! I'm sure if they show it again like Disney did, it will be a huge hit next time.
Ironically Sinbad and Treasure Planet are my two favourite animated movies. I remember Disney clarified Enchanted would be their last animated movie, lo and behold it had like 5 minutes of animation, so I'm really happy they ended their 2D animation legacy with The Princess and The Frog. It couldn't have been a better choice 😊
I honestly do miss 2D animated films in both studios
WHAT?! Sinbad is honestly in my top 5 favorite childhood animation movies, it is STUNNING! I'm so sad for it now
I feel like Sinbad and princess and the frog flopped because it was too scary for kids. They really went all out with some of the more intense scenes, only reason Puss in Boots had more success was because it has an adult following, there were barely any kids in the theater when I took my kid to see it and the place was packed.
that movie was one of my favorites when i was little. it was really cool, with a lot of mythological concepts.
Bruh Sinbad was one of those rare movies I was allowed to watch that really made my childhood great-
The Princess and The Frog didn't Flop, it just wasn't the big hit Disney wanted. It made more money than it costed to make, promote and distribute, but Disney is used to bigger hits and since Tangled which is basically the same type of story was a smashing success they decided to stick to 3D
Yeah The princess and The Frog sadly just came out too late when 2D animation was starting to die in the US. Had it been thought of a decade earlier it could've been a real hit during the Disney Renaissance
@@sissysovereign1294 For those that don't appreciate animation as an art form, 2D animation is synonymous with children's entertainment, plus is a Princess Film, It says so in the title, and the trailers and marketing emphasized it's romantic and whimsical elements as Disney's triumphant return to classic fairy tales. Most people that aren't animation fans probably thought that is just a movie for little girls and ignored it completely. Tangled avoided all of that not just by being 3D (Which Shrek cemented as the golden standard for animated movies forr all ages) but also by changing it's title from "Rapunzel" (A princess) to "Tangled" which sounds gemder neutral and more dynamic. The trailers heavily emphasized Flint Ryder and Maximus as protagonists of equal footing to Rapunzel and they overly emphasized the comedic aspects while downplaying the romance and classoc fairy tale tropes. All of that made the movie look more like Shrek that anything else, like it's this wacky rapid fire parody of Disney Tropes but in reality is in fact just a classoc Disney Fairytale Princess romance movies played entirely straight.
@@sissysovereign1294It also released near Avatar as well
How did those 2 movies flop they are so good i still watch them sometimes
This movie also had a pretty good message. A bond with a brother, even if he's not blood related, is sometimes even more important that your own life. You may be a pirate and a criminal, others could say you have no honor, but in the end, it is you who decides to keep your word or to betray it. It's never too late for doing the right thing.
Sinbad was one of my favs. People clearly didn’t know what was good
I was really surprised when I discovered that Sinbad wasnt really that known. I used to buy CD’s everytime i would go out w my parents when i was a kid. And Sinbad was one of my favorites, but its sad that in some places its not known.
The Prince of Egypt, Joseph King of Dreams, Road to El Dorado & Sinbad will always be one of my favorite 2D Dreamworks films they made my childhood awesome!
You forgot about Spirit!
Princess and the frog is one of the disney movies I’d happily watch till I die
Bro dreamworks made 2 of my favorite movies that are 2D animated Prince of Egypt and The Road to El Dorado
Same here. I love you for this comment bro .Respect
How in tf did everyone not love Sinbad, it’s so good!
The fact that both Sinbad and The Princess and the Frog were both deemed as “flops” but are classics these days lol
Prince of Egypt, Joseph king of dreams, and the road to El Dorado are all amazing movies 😭😭😭❤❤❤
I loved watching Sinbad so much growing up 👌
The fact that this didn't give a shit about dreamworks before puss in boots 2 blew up , makes me think how pathetic our community has become (same with the disney hate)
People are just monkey see, monkey do. Nobody has their own opinions it's whatever is trending 🤣
@@MrTrash. LMAO FRRR
Generation is just brainwashed to follow trending only , even if it's garbage , and insult the better one , cause it is trend
@@SantaCometaI already preferred DreamWorks cause Shrek ever since I was little I always wanted a Puss n boots sequel it took 11yrs WORTH IT
FINALLY someone brings this up! Puss in Boots 2 is a 10/10 imo don't get me wrong, but one great movie doesn't define an entire animation studio. Both Disney animation and DreamWorks have amazing as well as disappointing movies, so it's weird to see so many jump on the "Disney bad DreamWorks good" bandwagon just because of one year's worth of movies
RIP, Sinbad was one of my favourite movies
Sindbad is one of my favourite movie regardless of weather it flopped or not.
That was a favorite of ours. Rented it from Blockbusters several times.
wtf?!!
That's pretty unfair
Sinbad is fucking awesome
Man, DreamWorks has been going downhill and now resorted to makong live action adaptations of their own work just like Disney. I want them to go back to 2D and reinvigorate the company.
I went to see princess and the frog when it came out and it became my favourite disney movie for years, it's sad to hear it flopped, I didn't expect it truthfully
This was also around the time companies were pushing 3D because it was new. Now that there’s been a lot of 3D flops, there might be a return to 2D animation
Sinbad is one of the best Animated movies ever, it was underrated for it's time.
I was there when Sinbad & Princess & the Frog were released in theaters. Marketing for these 2 movies was horrible. I was a kid & didn’t hear much commotion about them. But as we all know there both are great movies. Sinbad is a GEM 💎
The best thing about the movie was how they animated Eris it was like she was made of smoke the animation flowed very very well
"Dreamworks doesnt make 2D anymore"
Yes because Turbo FAST is 3D 😄
How did these 2 movies flop???? These are iconic movies!
As a wannabe animator, the perspective change on the lady as she raises the book is exquisite
I love Sinbad, and this short made me realize I haven't watched it in years...
Eris’ animation alone is great enough for me to question how this movie flopped.
SIMBAD USED TO BE MY FAV MOVIE??
I literally would watch Simbad, and el camino per el dorado on loop, the movie was great and the story was so stimulating, i cant believe this is what happened
Bruh both those movies were gold tier ain't no reason they should've flopped.
Really sucks that they havent put out an animated movie since, prince of egypt animation is top tier and even some occasional animated scene like the ones fron kung fu panda are great and got that exciting energy in it.
Something about seeing Darth Vader agree that Sinbad was a good movie brings a smile to my face
I miss traditional animation.
That is a shame considering how good eris looked
The irony is that those 2 movies are amazing 😂… popularity & commercial success dont equate to quality, it could just mean audiences just have ever-declining taste
Shame to hear that it flopped. Sinbad was one of the forst movie's I've watched over and over again as a kid
What??! This is one of my favorite movies! It’s incredible and the score is outstanding
That's so unfortunate, one of my favorite DreamWorks movies of all time was The Prince of Egypt and those animations were gorgeous.
The princess and the frog is literally my favorite Disney princess movie.
Me hearing the princess and the frog flopped: YOU WHAT!?
For people wondering why Sindbad flopped was probably because DreamWorks didn't advertised the movie properly and tried to only bank on the name "Sindbad" and it didn't work for them. Same goes for Vanhelsing, everyone I have met and had a chat aboutt he movie has always said good words for Vanhelsing and yet the movie was a flop.
For me, both movies were superb that I liked it from start to end.
Sinbad was also released at the same time another pirate movie was debuting. The movie in question?
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN.
Yeah, that had a part in its downfall.
Bring back 2D animation it's just beautiful and it's something I think needs to come back especially with Disney
Sinbad was the shyt, that movie was stellar for the time it was made.
Sinbad was one of my favourite films
Seriously did Sinbad flop?
This is one of the precious childhood movies of mine that I have watched repeatedly….😢
I miss 2D animation,they should create another one, specially DreamWorks
just to flop again?
Sounds a lot like the story of Treasure Planet. It is a mix of 2D & 3D and was extremely costly to make. Execs didn’t want it to succeed and basically destroyed all promotions for gaining viewers. (There are great breakdowns of this on UA-cam). I would be surprised if Sinbad suffered the same fate by Dreamworks. Both films are considered some of the best animated films created (by US companies), despite their “failures.”
sinbad was one of the best animated films i saw as a kid.
The Princess and the Frog didn't even flop. It just didn't make them boatloads of money.
Sinbad was such an awesome movie..
Sinbad was a great movie, I remember eldorado did pretty bad too but I think we can all agree that elderado is a great movie as well. I have no idea what happened back then lol
Sinbat was my favorite animation back then i had the dvd me and my brothers have probably watched it 1000 time over
The haaaair in the movie will forever be my goal in 3d and real life❤❤❤❤
That movie is so goated… loved it as a kid and love it now…
The fact that they also used 3D elements in sinbad 💀
Now I know why eris wants to destroy the world, it’s full of people who don’t know how to appreciate greatness. 😂
Which is bizarre because el Dorado and Sinbad are basically the 2 best 2d animated movies EVER and they're both DreamWorks.
Sinbad was a God tier animation specially for its time !!!
F*N box office ruin everything 😒 😑 🙄
I didn’t even know that princess and the frog flopped
Traditional animation just became to costly for feature length films. I think 3d animation was cheaper in the long run and needed less people. Sucks because I love traditional animation.
I literally just watched this movie and found it quite entertaining. What a shame I actually didn't know that.
The two movies are masterpieces
The princess and the frog is actually a good ass movie, damn
This is a good example of how films can be rejected by audiences simply on the basis of visuals and aesthetics. Both movies referenced here are actually quite good but American audiences in particular don't want to give them a chance
The princess and the frog didn’t flop. It was planned to be the last hand animated film from Disney studios. They made a big deal about it, I would recommend doing more research
It was Eris’ hair, that shit was the entire animation budget, I am convinced
I really liked SpiderVerse for blending it all together. I feel like 3D isn’t bad by any means but over the years has resulted in way too much of the same look across studios.
Because Hollywood or people don't really appreciate the blood sweat and tears that will be put into 2d animation nowadays
Give the art style some love
I loved sinbad as a kid
Princess and the Frog made 270 million dollars on a budget of 100m. It was absolutely not a flop. It slightly underperformed according to Disney's standards, but any other studio would be thrilled to get those returns.
Not with marketing spend, and the theater cut. They expect massive returns.
I actually prefer the 2d style of dreamworks like those early 2000 late 90s films are all so unique
I always thought Disney abandoned 2D because of Treasure Island.
Bro i love simbad one of my favorite movies as a kid along with treasure planet
I loved sindbad.I dont know why it flopped.😢
The animation was good and the story wasnt bad too.
But those 2 movies are really good
That's sad they flopped :(
Simple 2D animation is time consuming and very expensive
3D animation is still time consuming but not as much as 2D and it cheaper to make
Simbad is an awesome movie but it was made at the wrong time just like Atlantis, Treasure Planet or Titan AE. Kids that came from the tradicional Disney were transitioning to adult/teenager movies. I remember talking to a friend and she told me: "eww do you like cartoon movies?" I am glad to see those awesome movies are getting the respect they deserve, sad for Disney and Universal that loose their faith in those products and became an empty factory of remakes... well at least for Disney.
We're due for another epic 2D animated feature. I don't care of it's Disney, DreamWorks or (fingers crossed) a new Heavy Metal movie.
Sinbad was the movie that led me on a path of a lifelong fondness of ships and maritime history. Still my favorite animated film
Idk about Sinbad but knowing how many people understood how it was that TPATF flopped was due to the reason it was made not to do with its animation but the reason behind the making of the film , other than that both films were very good.
Before I'm hit with boo this or that , keep in mind before TPATF THE BLM was just starting up and things were in the thick of changing I see all lives matter btw but to me due to the reason the film was made is the reason why it flopped , It was made with the reason of not a single black princess fairytale , I know that there are some good tales like that in black American culture and I'm all in to see them but like I said that's why I think it flopped was because the film was made during that moment when things were getting bad after that it just wasn't happening again to make another one which I was disappointed to hear that they wouldn't make a second one . Stay blessed everyone.
Sinbad was a awesome animation. "Give that man a raise!" Lol
How did sinbad or princess and the frog flop?!! Both were amazing!!
Sinbad is a cool movie!
I don't understand why it was a flop! I BLAME THE BOX OFFICE CRITICS!!!
