Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists (2000) is the first feature length CGI film created exclusively using motion capture. While many animators worked on the project, the human characters were entirely animated using motion capture. At a reported US$30 million, Sinbad: Beyond the Veil of Mists is reported to be the most expensive direct-to-video movie ever shot. It was made at Raliegh Studios in Los Angeles, over a three-month period in 1997.

Along with Pandavas: The Five Warriors (also from 2000), this is one of the first computer-animated features made in India. The Pentamedia company was behind both of these productions.
