It's probably just as well that the eponymous sailor is long dead for I don't think he'd be terribly impressed with the body these animators have decided to give him! He is strolling the harbour of Halifax when a sudden explosion as two ships appear to collide propels him up into the air, strips him of his clothes and plonks him down in a tree some 3km from the site. As he travels we are treated to some reminiscences from his young life, his sailing career and as his life flashes before our eyes we enjoy a gently engaging score from Luigi Allemano that helps keep things moving. This isn't my favourite style of animation - I prefer a little more natural proportion, and I gather that in truth he kept his boots on too! It's quite watchable, but entirely forgettable - sorry.
