The third segment, "Sinbad the Sailor", is a fantasy consisting of live action and Hanna-Barbera-directed cartoons set in the casbah of a Middle Eastern country. This segment includes complex dance sequences showing a live Kelly dancing with cartoon characters in the picture; predating many ideas which reappeared in "Mary Poppins". (Walt Disney was a friend of Gene Kelly's, and Disney animators provided technical consulting for the MGM animators on blending live action with animation for "Anchors Aweigh".) Use is also made of the original themes of Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" by the MGM music department team of adapter Roger Edens, conductor Johnny Green and orchestrator Conrad Salinger.
