Excellent adventure of "Sinbad"

The legendary "Sinbad" (voiced by Brad Pitt) is framed by "Eris, Godess of Chaos" (voiced by Michelle Pfeiffer) for stealing the "Book of Peace". But in order to prove his innocence, and to save the life of his friend "Proteus the Shapeshifter" (voiced by Joseph Fiennes), "Sinbad" and his crew, along with "Proteus'" girlfriend "Marina", who bought her way on board to make sure that "Sinbad" comes back with the book.
The animation of this movie is simply fantastic. The colors are rich and sharp. The computer animation, which is mixed with classic animation, makes movement look very realistic and, in some cases, mystical.
The cast is also fantastic. Every performance is believable, and the on-screen chemistry great. Usually, I find one bad performance, but in this movie, I can't find a single one.
There is no violence in this movie, which is a plus for families with younger children. This movie also has its share of good comedy, and pretty good one-liners by some in the cast.
I couldn't spot any plot holes in this movie. I could, however, notice that there were little to no scenes with the characters at "Syracuse" as "Sinbad", his crew, and "Marina" are on their voyage.
In my opinion, this would be a good movie to rent for the family.
