SINBAD: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN SEAS Clip - Eris & Sinbad (2003) 

Can we all appreciate that they got a goddess who actually qualifies as a villain in the actual mythology? Unlike how Hollywood always portrays Hades as a villain even though he’s actually something of a good guy as far as gods go.

For a goddess of chaos and discord, Eris is so polite.

The hair of that woman is just so smooth 🤯

Michelle Pfeiffer is such a phenomenal voice actress

I’ve heard this movie criticized for having an overly simplistic villain, but I actually liked her a lot. Sure she doesn’t have the softer side that a lot of people want in a modern villain, but she sets the Tone Well! So many shows/movies utterly fail to do that, but she did it!

People underestimate Eris SEVERELY. She’s the GODDESS of discord, if she really wanted to she could just plunge the entire world into chaos. However, she doesn’t because she enjoys the strategy aspect of causing catastrophes. Additionally she’s so threatening BECAUSE she’s perfectly calm, to her this is a game that she’s won time and time again. Edit: Wow this comment really lived a life of its own. In response to one big claim I heard, it is true that Eris would be under Zeus’ jurisdiction and she isn’t primordial chaos, she represents more of human conflict based chaos such as the fall of a kingdom, civil war, arguments, riots, the Trojan war, etc… We shouldn’t assume that just because she’s under Zeus that she couldn’t just plunge the world into chaos, I mean gods and titans have been radically altering the entire universe consistently in their stories and while she probably wouldn’t get far she could possibly start several wars before she’d be stopped and as humans we’re known to start and drag out conflicts until we’ve killed half of our forces doing so.

I always loved the twist reveal of Eris' grand plan. She didnt steal the book to enact some magical, primordial chaos on the world; she did it because she knew it would kick off a series of events that would culminate in Syracuse losing its rightful heir, thereby creating the much more real chaos of political unrest and power struggles. It might not make much of a difference to some but I always thought this was brilliant; magical chaos might bring people together to unite against it, but civil turmoil will guarantee a kingdom collapsing into chaos.

Eris did nothing wrong. She's actually giving some really good life paths for him.

Something that I love about this scene is both the way Eris asked her question Sinbad, because she already knew that Sinbad would lie about not going back to Syracuse, and at the moment, even Sinbad knew he wouldn't keep his word, even though he said he would go back. But the real twist is learning that Sinbad defied Eris's prediction and went back to die, which means despite his initial act of selfishness by lying in the face of a literal deity, he then went and defied her by doing the one thing she never expected. He became a hero in the end even though he's a thief and a criminal.

This movie is an underestimated classic. The animation is gorgeous (Eris' hair is mesmerizing) , the characters are fun and engaging, the voice acting is top notch. I think the only problem the movie has is the pacing, I can remember it in segments but can remember little of the order it goes in.

She’s like Sinbad’s ex-girlfriend.

I love 2:03; Eris, who floats around as if she's intangible and has half her body turned into smoke, suddenly reminds you that she can be as solid and heavy as she wants whenever she wants. She could have sent Marina into Sinbad with telekinesis, or controlling the environment or something, but just flicking her with sheer physical strength while still being half-ethereal works so much better for reminding you that this is not a faerie, or a witch, or an evil spirit, this is a GODDESS.

Eris absolutely awakened something in me and I’m not ashamed of it at all Her animation, her voice, her mannerisms, *yes please*

The way she moves, animated to perfection, hypnotizing.

Eris is one of the best baddies out there this scene is full of so much gravitas. The part where she asks sinbad her question is immersive. I just love it

What I love is that Eris just don't care if her plan works or not. For her it's like playing poker. She was bored so she decided to play around a little. I bet if she was actually serious about she would have won and noone could've stop her. I think this movie perfectly captured how the greek gods don't care about how their little games effect people. For humans it was a catastrophic event for her it was like gambling a little.

She gave them a safe landing not even on water, how considerate for the villian of the movie.

I think there’s an extra irony Eris enjoys about this in that Syracuse was going to fall in chaos because they are so hellbent on following their rules. Their rules state that the alleged criminal must die for the theft. The CLEARLY INNOCENT PRINCE takes their place. They could easily just overrule and be like “welp, the thief ended up running but executing OUR FUCKING PRINCE would just be a bad move for everybody.” But they DON’T. Because they have to follow their ORDER. Eris must find that so hilarious.

Remember this queen of troll was also the one who caused Trojan War, it was also cause of her boredomness. She really needs hobbies

This animated film is beautiful and unique. Massively underrated and the marketing was terrible back then. But I find it truly amazing to this day.

Eris’ hair is my favourite character in this movie

Eris (at least this version of her) is among my most favorite villainous characters, becuz she left such an impression on me when I first watched this movie. Her animation, her design, her character, her voice! Everything about her drew me in like a moth to a flame. Michelle Pfeiffer voiced Eris so beautifully, she should have been commended for such excellent voice-acting! The depiction of Eris was equally impressive, in the way she moved like smoke, her mannerisms, how she interacted with others and the environment and also her manipulations! As this clip showed, her true motivation to framing Sinbad for her theft of the Book of Peace was to prompt Proteus take Sinbad's place, as she predicted Sinbad would run, Proteus would die in his place, and Syracuse would enter a state of chaos with the death of their crown prince! The way she analyzed Sinbad and Proteus was spot-on that it left Sinbad speechless, and Eris was almost proven right about him being a selfish scoundrel, and the only reason he didn't run (at first, at least) was becuz Marina paid Sinbad to recover the Book. Then she plays this mind-game with them, putting Sinbad on the spot of doing the right thing and dying for it or doing the wrong thing and living with the woman he had grown to love and abandon his childhood friend to his death. When it seemed all was lost and Eris accused him of lying, Sinbad proved otherwise by his actions in returning to save Proteus and accept execution, thus proving Eris wrong and winning the game she had tried to manipulate Altho she was angry to lose, Eris kept her word (tho she technically had to) and instead of taking revenge for her "embarrassment" she simply ho-hum'd her loss tho she gave a subtle warning to Sinbad that he not push his luck, and simply ta'd everyone before vanishing to continue her divine role in bringing chaos to the world It was all a magnificent performance and so beautifully executed, especially in the behavior of Eris as a goddess

The animation work on Eris is marvelous.

her hair animation is so smooth, hypnotizing

The thing I've always loved about Eris... and I'm not sure if it's intentional or not on the animator's part... but the fact that her eyes are further apart than normal, and her right eye becomes off-set at times. Extremely fitting for a goddess of chaos to look so normal, yet so chaotic, at the same time.

“LOOOK AT HER SINBAD, he isn’t even in his grave yet & and you’re moving in on his GIRL…. Face it… your heart… is as Black as mine” that was tooo funny

2:14 from all the movie that’s the only dialogue that Marina and Eris have

I was too young to understand this movie, but I liked it to the point where I didn't mind watching it over and over.

"You still don't trust me?" "Ahhh...No. Now fork it over." "What?" "I answered truthfully. Give it." "That wasn't the--" "One question, one answer. No Takesies backsies. YOINK!"

Animation from the early 2000’s (2D) is better than it’s current (3D)

The sexiest voice EVER!!!!!!!!!! Eris!

For those criticizing Eris for being a simplistic villain... well, the movie does the original Greek goddess justice in this part. Ancient Greek goddess of strife did things just because, like when she started the Trojan War by throwing an apple. She was an archetype of what we refer to as "troll" nowadays. In fact she was an embodiment of it. And she set mortals and gods against each other not for any sort of gain or lofty goal, but simply to watch them suffer. And in a way, she personifies the chaotic nature of strife well, not unlike DC's Joker... She cannot be reasoned with, she cannot be paid off, she cannot be comprehended with logic. Sometimes, people hurt each other not for money or power, but just because. As it was aptly put. "Some people (goddesses) just want to watch the world burn"

I can't believe this movie is already 20 years old. It's still gold

Best Dreamworks villain ever, Michelle Peiffer did a perfect work !

Eris is just like Pocahontas hair.... Soft, flowy, smooth and tangle free. I think her shampo is Pantene PRO-V or Tresemme

Eris’s voice is soothing for me for some reason

1:23 bruh that face...

the VA is so amazing for making her sound so seductive.. it truly adds to her being the goddess of discord and chaos

Pfeiffer's vocal role as Eris is just outstanding.

The ending makes this exchange so satisfying cause it proves Eris is not as right as she thinks she is.

2:15 Current girlfriend defending for you against your ex

Too bad Sinbad,El Dorados,Cool World,Titan A.E and Cat Don’t Dance never got a Sequel Or Animated Series!

Watching it as a child, I was scared af of Eris. Watching it now, damn she’s just one psychotic ex😂

Such a fantastic movie. The villain Eris is even better.

Apparently they had one animator specifically focus on Eris’ hair

She's the most underrated villain in the world she tore sea apart, sent monsters after people, stole a magical book to cause shit and threatened to take over the world........ And all because she was bored 😂🤣

To everyone in the comments or still watching clips of this movie years later, thank you. This movie deserved better from Dreamworks and critics. It is so fun to watch. 💖

Is no one going to talk about the “Are you absolutely sure about that?” Look Eris gives at 1:23?

4:37 Michelle Pfieffers evil laugh is the best thing ever

Eris awakened something within me as a kid and I'll never get over her beautiful/haunting design

THROW BACK!!!! This was like 15 years ago! INSANE!!!! I hadn’t watched this movie since and it was honestly a really good one

1:20 i love this little moment! "you?" "ya :)" (eyebrows only) "u sure about that?"

1:22 the way she looks at sinbad gets me every time

While I think Eris is a cool villain, I'm still wondering how a Greek deity ended up in a Sinbad movie? Or how Sinbad ended up as the main character of mythology based movie?

I LOVE that Evil laugh

1:23 that Eris's look "think again"

Her voice is amazing!! And the animation!!

She's honestly one of the coolest characters ever, not to mention they managed to animate her so well that she just outshines everyone else

Love this movie, Eris was such an awesome villain

1:24 ya sure. I love her face

I can't help but think Eris is sort of like a female version of Loki. You know The Goddess of Discourt.

I get the distinct impression that this is just a normal Tuesday to her and I'm here for it🤣🤣🤣😁😁😂😂😂

0:48 That laugh is so well done. You don't really see that kind of voice acting anymore. So much personality went into the character.

1:19 I love the body communication here. It's quite a talent to do that in animation. So much said with animated eyes.

I love her hair waaaaaay to much! It’s so floaty!

I don't remember shit about this movie but I DEFINITELY remember Eris & her smoke-like hair and flair! 💖 So beautifully animated!

great movie and i had the biggest crush on eris as a kid.

She’s so beautiful, I love how full and smooth her animation is.

We need a sequel to this movie

My favorite childhood movie, so satisfying to see they move

I used to be OBSESSED with her hair as a kid

Wow Eris she maybe a clever goddess of chaos and can read alot of mortals minds but she failed to see how much Sinbad changed cause he wanted to find the book of peace to clear his name and when she told him tht Prodeus was gonna die he changed his mind to save his friend so her deal screwed her all way to sunday cause she didn't account on him actually sacrificing himself to save his friend

A truly stellar example of the animators craft. She's spooky and beautiful and flawless and scary. Largely unsung artists.

The voice acting is top notch! I enjoyed this movie a lot!

2:27 I just love that switch between her whispering and her more "normal" sounding voice

They had no right making Eris THAT hot 🥵

I remember having the biggest crush on Marina and Eris when I was younger😭

I love Eris’s voice actor so much

This was my favorite movie as a kid

Good GOD the animation in this thing is just so FUCKING GOOD!!! I could watch Eris’s hair move for hours.

“Like it? Im planning on doing the whole world this way” “Wow .. thats a good plan” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I can't stop looking at Eros's hair , is so satisfying to see

Her laugh gets me every time... God she is so addictive

I love how eris is always symbolise with water and the abyss during the movie, the way she move the creature she summon and every scene is connected to ocean. Like the sea she is enigmatic and kind a scary. But in the end she is not full of secret and dangerous life like the ocean is, her domain is a sea of sand empty of life, just ruin and corpses

One my first little boy crushes 🤭

When i watch this as a kid it felt an adventure ahh goodtimes

Criminally underated and underappreciated movie

It's my favourite and doesn't seem to get enough credit love it

That little look at 1:21 is just perfect

Actions speak louder than words.

This movie is actually amazing. So underrated.

My favorite childhood villain

Eris asked him you don't get the book or you don't get the book. Never trust a woman with red eyes. That is my life's philosophy.

I think Eris was the best proof of my heterosexuality in my childhood. 😂

The hair is everything

i absolutely loved this movie as a kid

For what I might figure out here is that Eris isn’t trying to get Sinbad to turn to the dark side. She’s bound to determine that he is true to his ego.

I like that Eris is motivated by her desire to prove a point in a way. Yes she wants to see discord but it’s all to demonstrate that humans are incapable of being truly altruistic (from what I remember at least, been a while since I’ve seen this one).

I loved this movie as a kid............ Because of her hair. Nice to know that hasn't changed.

She really is a Goddess Until now I still Love her Eris
