SINBAD: THE FLYING PRINCESS AND THE SECRET ISLAND PART 1 (Akihabara Film Festival Release Tokyo Japan 2016)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì 

Sinbad: The Flying Princess and the Secret Island Part 1—one of a 3-part Japanese short film series—works like a Hayao Miyazaki movie with its softer, simpler animation. It’s a good, peaceful family-before-bedtime-share film.
