Line 10:
On the voyage back home, the fleet is beset by a violent storm, and Sinbadko sacrifices himself to the sea for the sake of his crew ([[Stupid Sacrifice|not that it helps]]). Sinbadko sinks to the bottom of the ocean and is adopted into the family of Neptune, God of the Sea, who wishes Sinbadko to stay and entertain him, even offering to marry the mortal to one of his daughters in order to tie him to the undersea kingdom. Of course, Sinbadko chooses as his new wife his old pal Morgyana, who gives him leave to return to his own world.
 
And joy of joys, just as Sinbadko makes his, er, not-so-triumphal return to his home, so also arrives his crew, having [[Disney Death|ultimately weathered the stormy seas]]. Alas, Sinbadko has no "Bluebird Of Happiness" to give to his people, but he does have [[An Aesop]]: "[[It Was Withwith You All Along|Follow your hearts to happiness!]]"
 
[[Francis Ford Coppola]] was involved in the English adaptation of the script.

=== This film provides examples of: ===
* [[Artistic License Economics]]: [[In -Universe]] example. Redistributing wealth with no real plan ultimately destroys the town's economy and achieves nothing, although they seem to recover remarkably quickly.
* [[The Big Guy]], who is something of a [[Gentle Giant]].
* [[Boring Invincible Hero]]: Even if Sinbadko has to have the help of a sea goddess.
Line 27:
* [[For the Evulz]]: The Vikings/Mongols: "Happiness is to kill our foes!"
* [[He Also Did]]: The writer of the English script was none other than ''Francis Ford Coppola''.
* [[It Was Withwith You All Along]]: The Aesop. Possibly a concession to Soviet policy of the time; in the epic poems on which the film is based, Sadko goes on a journey to make his fortune, not to find a bird of happiness.
* [[I Just Want My Beloved to Be Happy]]: Sea goddess Morgyana is in love with Sinbadko, but allows him return to the surface world and Luberia.
* [[Magical Girl]]: Morgyana, the daughter of Neptune the Sea God.
