اتا سندباد المغترب.. ابعد ابعد اقترب..
لا اهاب الموج ابدا حين يعلو و يضطرب..
Sindbad, the very VERY famous cartoon in the arabic world, talks about the story of an Iraqi kid who sails around the world.
If you were born in the 80s, then you probably grew up watching this cartoon.
To my surprise, this cartoon is actually Japanese. Yup. Its actually Japanese dubbed in Arabic.
Nowadays when I have time, I watch the Japanese version to enjoy my childhood memories and practice my Japanese.
Check the video below..
Watching this video as a grown up, I could see the big mistakes regarding the arabic or the islamic culture.
For example, on the first episode, people are shown praying and bending over on their knees for the king. This is neither an islamic nor an arabic behaviour because bending over is only for god.
The director of this cartoon made some effort in reading and reflecting the arabic environment, but it was not the best he could do since he could simply just avoid such simple mistakes.
Anyhow, sindbad is my favourite cartoon. Its best of the best and if you watch it you will be amazed how the story builds up.
