Sindbad.

Sindbad.

What happened, Ali?

Sindbad.

You know, I found an old man lying on the sea shore.

Is he alive?

Hmm... Yes, alive.

Help me, Ali.

Who are you?

Where am I?

You are in a trade port.

You are lucky, grandpa.

I must have been a bother for you.

No trouble at all. You just get better.

Excuse me for...

...keeping you away from your work.

I see you wish...

...to sail the seas?

Oh, yes. grandpa, I've always dreamt about it.

I want to become a sailor.

Like my father before me.

I see.

I became a sailor...

...at the same age as you are now.

And the sea gave me...

...all that I dreamt of from my earliest childhood.

I did love the sea very much.

It gave me my trade.

And a dream to boot.

I know what...

I'll tell you the strangest tale...

...about one island.

It happened hundreds of years ago, in the Southern sea.

Something strange was afoot in the sky.

However,...

...no one could clearly make out what had happened.

In the meantime, a star fell on the island.

And once it fell,...

...a tremendously powerful explosion was heard.

And the island suddenly changed,...

...becoming completely unrecognisable. And the island suddenly changed,...

...becoming completely unrecognisable.

For its meadows...

...were strewn with precious gems.

These priceless treasures...

...are guarded by the fearsome spirits of the island.

They are lying there still. ...are guarded by the fearsome spirits of the island.

They are lying there still.

- Grandpa. - Grandpa!

We sail the seas, the seas, the seas.

The endless reaches of the sea.

So, sailor, keep on working day and night...

- Ha-ha-ha! - Hi-hi-hi!

Hey, tramp!

So, tell us, why d'you hang around here all day?

He wants to become a sailor. So, tell us, why d'you hang around here all day?

He wants to become a sailor.

A sailor?

Ha! Dream on!

Too young!

Snotter!

Ha-ha-ha!

Brat!

Well.

One more time.

Hey! What are you doing!

Run!

Ali, cheer up.

We sail the seas, the seas, the seas...

Our ship's hold is full And the Captain is stern and full of gloom. We sail the seas, the seas, the seas...

Our ship's hold is full And the Captain is stern and full of gloom.

We sail the seas, the seas, the seas...

Our ship's hold is full And the Captain is stern and full of gloom.

Good morning. Our ship's hold is full And the Captain is stern and full of gloom.

Good morning.

Where can we find the Captain?

There he is. Where can we find the Captain?

There he is.

Captain.

I'm the Captain, What d'you want?

Captain, could you hire us on the ship?

The milk has not yet dried from your lips.

And, besides, I don't have work for you.

So you won't take us?

No.

Don't even count on it.

Weigh the anchor!

The sails, hey-ho!

Glide easily aloft. The sails, hey-ho!

Glide easily aloft.

We joyfully heaved the anchor and wave good-bye to the shore. Glide easily aloft.

We joyfully heaved the anchor and wave good-bye to the shore.

The flags are a-waving in the morning breeze, We joyfully heaved the anchor and wave good-bye to the shore.

The flags are a-waving in the morning breeze,

While our ship is a-sailin' through the winds and the storms and the blaze.

Full speed ahead! While our ship is a-sailin' through the winds and the storms and the blaze.

Full speed ahead!

And what's awaiting us, you can't foresee.

You'd better keep your eyes open and don't end up overboard. And what's awaiting us, you can't foresee.

You'd better keep your eyes open and don't end up overboard.

Oh, white sail, fly proudly high, You'd better keep your eyes open and don't end up overboard.

Oh, white sail, fly proudly high,

And over the blue of the sea fly swift as a white bird. Oh, white sail, fly proudly high,

And over the blue of the sea fly swift as a white bird.

Oh-oh-oh.

My dear old harbour.

Ha! You are talking as if you've left a mistress there.

Ha-ha-ha! Come off it.

Allah is great.

There is no other ruler in the world, but Allah.

Oh, Allah, keep us safe from the perils of the sea. There is no other ruler in the world, but Allah.

Oh, Allah, keep us safe from the perils of the sea.

Hel-loooo.

Nope, empty.

Oh, well.

I'll check out the reserve.

Mjau!

Oh?

Mjau!

What, a cat?

Mjauing here, scaring me...

Ja...Jasim!

There!

Hm? Whassup?

Let me sleep.

Careful.

It's there.

Look at that!

This fella knows the cat language.

I'm sorry, master.

You scared me. Don't you see?

I'll punish you for that.

No, wait. I'll punish you for that.

No, wait.

Please, wait.

Abdullah, there's one more.

Captain.

Um? What's happened?

We've found trespassers, who sneaked on the ship.

What shall we do with them?

Maybe throw them overboard, er?

Keep quiet. Maybe throw them overboard, er?

Keep quiet.

How did you end up here, boys?

We... er... hid in a jar.

Oh.

So you want to become sailors this badly?

Yes, of course, Captain!

Oh well, let it be your way.

Your task will be to make true sailors out of them.

Initiate them into the trade of the sea.

Yes?

That would be easy, Captain!

Mjau!

Ha-ha-ha!

The little one tricked you?

Hey, boy!

Back to work!

Hey, bungling good-for-nothing.

Look how it's done properly.

Hey! If you are attentive, you'll never cut yourself.

Understood?

Yes, master Abdullah!

Sindbad! Grip the rope hard and don't be afraid of anything!

Oh, and don't look down!

Ah!

Hey, Sindbad, hold on!

Now you won't fall.

The sea is so deep beneath me, and holds many secrets, it does.

The treasures from childhood dreams, for which the sailor goes. The sea is so deep beneath me, and holds many secrets, it does.

The treasures from childhood dreams, for which the sailor goes.

We ride the waves. We ride the waves. The treasures from childhood dreams, for which the sailor goes.

We ride the waves. We ride the waves.

The clear stars shine bright in the sky. The give our ships the steering sign.

Sindbad, hey!

What's up, Ali?

Someone is swimming towards us!

Oh! It's a baby whale.

- What's happening? - What is going on?

- Oh! Oh! - Wow! It's a sword fish.

Abdullah, bring harpoons.

Right away.

Come on, little whale.

Sindbad, help him!

Coming-coming. Sindbad, help him!

Coming-coming.

I've selected the sharpest ones.

Drat!

Got away?

Oh, well...

Drat!

Have you hit it or not?

And now...

Here. Take this!

Well done, Sindbad.

This guy is surely strong.

Of course.

I trained him.

Good luck, little friend!

Captain!

A harbour is straight ahead!

Well! Full speed ahead!

Full speed!

How sad and lonely I am in this castle.

I am sad to think about my father, The path of life is so narrow. How sad and lonely I am in this castle.

Oh, Sultan, have You summoned me? It's making me feel sad to wander alone, While chambers are boring and dark.

Oh, Sultan, have You summoned me?

Hm? Um.

Yes, correct. The princess is still feeling sad?

Yes.

Her Highness's mood, oh master...

...cannot be comprehended by your mind?

Yes, exactly so, my master.

And you still wish to marry her?

One does not exclude the other.

Long ago a Sultan lived who got tired of the earthly rule.

Got tired of all the trouble. Long ago a Sultan lived who got tired of the earthly rule.

Got tired of his wife And his passion dwindled away. Got tired of all the trouble.

And now his only love is the soft light silk -

It's beautiful and sensual to the touch. And now his only love is the soft light silk -

Cleanness.

Beauty.

The memory of the bright days of his youth.

It's the memory of the bright days of his youth.

Hey, Sindbad, give that to me.

I will now sing you a better song.

Listen carefully!

Listen, listen and remember.

This magical instrument, my mandolin.

I always take you with me to the see. This magical instrument, my mandolin.

I always take you with me to the see.

And once upon a time, rowing all I could, I see... I always take you with me to the see.

And once upon a time, rowing all I could, I see...

An island! Full speed ahead!

I throw the anchor, but...

Can't believe my eyes... I throw the anchor, but...

Can't believe my eyes...

The island suddenly becomes a whale. Can't believe my eyes...

The island suddenly becomes a whale.

The whale opened his maw and said "Gulp" The island suddenly becomes a whale.

The whale opened his maw and said "Gulp"

Oh, help! By my foolishness I ended up inside the whale. The whale opened his maw and said "Gulp"

Oh, help! By my foolishness I ended up inside the whale.

But I flew out again before I could even say "Ah!"

In the air turned I fifteen times,

While holding tight onto my mandolin.

And accidentally did hit I the strings.

Dzing-dong - the coins would sing.

The best mandolin in the world I have.

The best mandolin in the world I have.

Oh, the best!

Ha-ha-ha!

A! Ah!

Master.

What is the matter, Minister?

I discovered a truly wonderful treasure, oh my master.

Oh?!

And where is it?

Eh?

Won't you show it to me?

Well?

And what is this? A magical mandolin?

Yes, my master.

No. There must be some mistake.

Silence, brat!

Just a second.

I was told that once you start playing this mandolin,...

...it will spill pure gold. I was told that once you start playing this mandolin,...

...it will spill pure gold.

Let him play.

Well?

Where is the gold, minister?

Master, he must be playing the wrong music.

No. Master, he must be playing the wrong music.

No.

The music has nothing to do with it.

That's right. Nothing.

It's an ordinary mandolin.

Silence! Do you want me to punish you all?

No, we don't want that at all.

Minister.

Why do you hold up innocent people?

Dear princess, this is no case for women. Go to your rooms.

Minister, let them go.

No.

First I will question them.

Stop.

You, go there.

Just you wait, we'll wipe your nose.

He-he-he.

Minister!

The brat managed to escape.

You, loafers, turn everything upside down and find him!

Ah!

Little dove.

Where have you been, my dear?

What happened?

Ahh!

Hey, you! Who are you?

And where did you come from?

We sailed from a far-far away country. And where did you come from?

We sailed from a far-far away country.

So interesting.

How I envy you...

Princess!

Tell me...

...did a small boy run into here?

No.

I haven't seen anyone.

Or maybe you are hiding him.

Hem-hem!

And so everything becomes clear.

Hey, come out.

Now, confess to everything. Talk!

I'll confess! I'll confess!

Listen.

There is a very peculiar island...

It is to be found in the Southern seas.

Where are you?

Stop!

Catch him!

He's there! Catch him!

He's there!

Wait, I said! After him!

Faster! Wait!

He's not here.

You check over there and we - there.

Right.

Hey, wait!

I'll get you now!

You just wait!

What's this?

Look at that!

I say!

Nice music.

Money?

I have none.

Ah!

Thank you, my dear.

What? Ali's there?

Please, help him, I am asking of you.

Agreed?

Well?

How long are you going to keep us here?!

Hold your mouth. Screaming here. How long are you going to keep us here?!

Hold your mouth. Screaming here.

It's all your fault. You shouldn't have sung that song.

And where is Ali now?

Our kid is brainy.

Don't worry.

Good day.

We greet you, Princess.

I came to award you for your responsible duty.

Thank you, Princess.

Now, hurry!

Thank you.

Take my horses.

After me!

Go!

Hey, take it easy!

Halt!

Halt, we said!

Wait! Come back! Halt, we said!

Wait! Come back!

Halt!

Where have they got to? Time to leave.

Onward!

Go!

Faster!

They are catching up!

Sindbad!

No!

Oi!

Good-bye, Princess!

- What's up there? - Get him!

He flies.

Get those damned scoundrels!

It's unfair of him. We are actually very good.

Princess, I heard you helped those imprisoned sailors to escape.

That's right, father.

The minister is beside himself with rage.

You are unwise to trust him.

He's quick-tempered, dumb and spiteful.

My daughter is clever beyond her age.

Hey!!!

Oh! It's Ali.

The rascal scared us all.

That's I who taught him. That's my schooling.

All right!

Weigh the anchor.

Terrible news, oh Master.

Our Princess ran away.

What?

She ran away?

We must do something.

Please, forgive me, my Master.

Sindbad.

Look, it's the Princess.

How did you come here?

I... I beg you, please take me with you.

You will send me home?

What is this?

I greet you.

Go away, useless critter.

Why so gloomy, minister? Don't you like me?

Look how pretty I am. Am I right? Why so gloomy, minister? Don't you like me?

Look how pretty I am. Am I right?

Don't rattle. Of what use can you be? Look how pretty I am. Am I right?

Don't rattle. Of what use can you be?

Hello, little mouse.

I think I like you.

Come.

Closer!

Now.

Fly after the Princess and watch her every move. Understood?

Go!

Allah is great.

Bestow us with Your mercy.

And bring us all one more clear day. Bestow us with Your mercy.

And bring us all one more clear day.

Hey.

Look over there.

Ah...

Crew, to your stations!

If we follow this heading...

...and sail downwards to the Southern Sea...

...we will see an island.

There is eternal spring there.

Hmm...

And the pastures are covered with pure diamonds.

Hm?

But how can we deviate from our present route?

Can't we?

No, we can't.

Prepare to assume new heading!

Hey, Captain, where are we sailing to now?

To the treasure island.

Full speed ahead!

Come on!

We'll sing our song together And dance to that song we shall.

Hey! Hey! Hey! We'll sing our song together And dance to that song we shall.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Ali, go have fun with the others.

Oh, no, I'm better off here.

Can I too participate in the festivities?

You'll quickly get bored in our company.

I get a feeling as if everyone is afraid of me.

Is that so?

Thank you.

Ah, finally! I've been waiting for you.

What?

So she is on the ship?

They are looking for the treasure island?

Very well.

I see.

Master, I managed to trace the Princess.

You don't say?

Well, where is she? Speak.

Yes.

She went sailing.

Quick! After her! She went sailing.

Quick! After her!

Go! What are you waiting for, eh?

Ali!

Hurry, climb down!

Lower the sails!

Come, haul!!

Yes, I'm hauling.

I'm not strong enough.

Ah!!!

Look alive!

The ropes are entangled.

Doesn't budge.

Captain, I'll help them.

Very well.

Let me.

Careful, Princess.

Hurry!

Down with he sail!

Or we'll capsize!

Ali, give me your knife.

Here.

Ah! Sindbad.

Hold on tight, Sindbad!

Ah!

Sindbad, don't look down!

Cut it off and climb down!

Careful!

So?

Do you see their ship?

No.

Nothing to be seen yet.

Ha! This is our baby-whale.

How have you been, little friend?

Look.

It's a present for you.

We are friends, aren't we?

Now, return to your mama.

Is that you, my little dove?

I am so glad to see you.

Ali, look over there.

Ah...

How beautiful!

I feel so peaceful in the ocean,

A door to freedom has opened for me.

And I am sailing with my friends freely,

And happiness is now awaiting me.

"My dear mother.

I am sorry I made you worry, "My dear mother.

I am sorry I made you worry,

Everything is fine with me. I am sorry I made you worry,

Everything is fine with me.

I decided to go for a long sailing... Everything is fine with me.

I decided to go for a long sailing...

...together with my new friends."

He's a clever girl.

"We newly got surprised by a strong storm."

A storm? A strong one?

"But everything went well. Sindbad saved me."

Sindbad?

Hm...

"And I also miss daddy a little."

The sky is blue over the sea,

And the head is spinning from high hopes. The sky is blue over the sea,

And the head is spinning from high hopes.

Under the clouds that sail the skies,

The secrets of the sea await us. Under the clouds that sail the skies,

The secrets of the sea await us.

We ride the waves. We ride the waves.

And the clouds are helping us. They give hope to the ships below. We ride the waves. We ride the waves.

And the clouds are helping us. They give hope to the ships below.

The sun is baking hot.

Can't stand it.

Yes, my strength is at its end.

I'd love some water now.

Ah, Captain, if only the wind would blow.

Yes, true.

Drink some water, Sindbad.

Oh! Thank you.

Say thanks to the Princess.

Hey, what is it?

Ah!

Mjau!

Look!

The bat is returning!

Well!

You've kept me waiting.

Tell me all.

I see.

Continue your observation.

I'll teach that Sindbad a lesson!

While you will get the Princess...

...and the diamonds. While you will get the Princess...

...and the diamonds.

I don't like the look of the skies.

Captain, the sky shifts its colour too fast.

Strange, very strange.

I can't turn it.

Oh! Captain!

The whole sea has overgrown.

We went off course, haven't we, Captain?

We must remember where it first happened.

Easy to say, "remember".

Evil spirits are clearly involved here.

How awful.

We won't get out of here.

Is that so?

Good-bye, my friend.

- We are doomed! - What'll happen to us?

What to do next?

We are moving, Captain!

That's good!

Everyone to their stations!

Ha! Hello, whales!

Thank you for saving us!

Thanks!

Thank you.

A ship!

A ship appeared.

There, straight ahead. A ship appeared.

There, straight ahead.

Excellent.

Don't lose them from sight.

Aye!

Captain, the fog is thickening.

Oh...

Can't see a thing.

Isn't it very strange, Captain?

Yes.

Be careful.

I can't see anything at all, Captain.

Right.

Climb down, then.

Yes.

Sindbad, we are heading for a rock!

Oh!

It's that island, Captain.

Yes?

Probably.

Look at that! Such a great island!

Oh, how beautiful!

Lower the anchor.

Be very careful here and on the look-out.

Yes.

We'll bring back wonderful souvenirs.

Wait, I'll come with you.

And we will stay here.

Mjau!

A treasure island, you say?

Sindbad, we are finally here.

It must be wonderful here.

Oh!

Scary creature! I'm afraid of it!

Princess!

Ali!

Sindbad!

Sindbad!

Run!

Ali!

Ali!

Ali!

Ali!

Tasty.

Come.

Let me try.

Help!

Jasim!

Ha, a treasure island, my butt!

I don't like it here!

That's it, I have no strength left.

Rise, Ali. Be strong.

Destroy every one of them.

Yes.

Princess!

Ali!

Sindbad!

Sindbad!

Leave him. There's no time.

Just you wait...

Sindbad!

Oh!

The treasures, of which the old man spoke!

Ali, we must first find Sindbad. Maybe he is in trouble.

Yes. Ali, we must first find Sindbad. Maybe he is in trouble.

Yes.

Sindbad!

Sind... Ah!

Princess.

What a pleasant meeting!

Stop! Don't come close to her!

Sindbad!

Sindbad!

- I'll show you, runt! - Wait!

Sindbad.

- Sindbad! - Finally.

Ali, take the Princess away. - Sindbad! - Finally.

Ali, take the Princess away.

Hey! After her!

Over there!

There's the Princess.

Wait!

Help us, Sindbad!

- Quiet! - I am... Help us, Sindbad!

- Quiet! - I am...

Collect all the treasures into sacks. Hurry!

Oh!

Princess!

Ali!

Oh, you are beautiful.

Water's coming! Hurry!

Princess!

Ali!

Princess?

Ah!

Princess...

Hurry...

Sindbad!

Princess! Ali!

Sindbad!

Almighty Allah,...

...please, save those two in dire need.

I've found the most wonderful treasure in the whole of the world.

Yes? Where is it?

It is right here... It's you, Princess.

The End
