* [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?]]: Near the end, Eris gives her word she'll give the book back to Sinbad if he were to correctly pass her test; answer honestly if he would go back to save Proteus whether or not he got the book. {{spoiler|He said yes, but Eris said he lied and threw him away. A quick [[Heroic BSOD]] later, he comes in to [[Big Damn Heroes|stop Proteus' execution and willingly take his place]], if only to honor the sacrifice his friend gave to him. Eris is pissed, but Sinbad remembers what she said and calls out that she gave her word before, forcing her to return the book and let him live.}}

* [[Genre Killer]]: The film's low financial success caused Dreamworks to abandon 2D animation completely, turning to CGI movies such as ''[[Shrek]]''. Interestingly, the 2002 ''[[Treasure Planet]]'' did the ''exact same thing'' to Disney, causing them to leave traditional animation for the Computer-generated variety. These two events combined might be why this blend of animation has never been seen since. However, as mentioned above, both movies have since achieved moderate "cult hit" status, suggesting there might be [[Animation Age Ghetto|some other reason]] for their less-than-stellar financial performance.

* [[Our Monsters Are Different]]: Boy howdy, although this is more readily apparent in the production sketches (which are by the same fellow who designed the dragons in ''[[How to Train Your Dragon]]'' and can be seen on the DVD.) Cetus looks like a combination of everything in the fisherman's platter. The Roc looks a bit more owlish than usual and can run about on all fours like a vampire bat. The Cyclops, had they appeared in the film, would have either been crab-men or fish-people.
