Sony continues the Harryhausen 4K program with Sinbad's first solo color feature, restored in Dolby Vision from the original camera negative. The commentary puts Harryhausen himself in conversation with Phil Tippett and Randall William Cook, and there's a separate interview by John Landis. The Bernard Herrmann score gets its own featurette. Indicator's Blu-ray-only Sinbad Trilogy lands in June, three weeks ahead of the Sony 4K.
