What happens

Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists is a 2000 Indian-American animated film. It is the first feature-length computer animation film created exclusively using motion capture. While many animators worked on the project, the human characters were entirely animated using motion capture. It was filmed at Raleigh Studios in Los Angeles, over a three-month period in 1997. The film was produced by Pentafour Software, now known as Pentamedia Graphics. Along with Pandavas: The Five Warriors (2000), this was one of the first full-length computer-graphics-based features made in India. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
