Though the demonic creatures, hobgoblins, a griffin and an octopedic sea monster are not as well created as a Harryhausen project, the scene of the witches attacking the ship to abduct the princess is in stop-motion and is effective and so is the rescue scene of the princess in the sorcerer’s castle. The ‘Harryhausen’ special effects were created by Project Unlimited (Tim Barr, Wah Chang and Gene Warren) and Jim Danforth, who was a student under Harryhausen. For this project Small reunites the director Nathan Juran (“20 Million Miles to Earth”/”Siege of the Saxons”/ “East of Sudan”) and actors Kerwin Matthews and Torin Thatcher from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, and keeps the same basic plot. Animation maven Ray Harryhausen first offered it to Small, who turned it down to his regret. It’s produced by Edward Small, who wished to recreate the smash hit Columbia had with The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.
