The film is often confused with the theme of fantasy instead of tokusatsu, but the book Toho Special Effects All Monster Encyclopedia specifically identifies it in the genre of tokusatsu fantasy. The film was released in the United States by American International Pictures as The Lost World of Sinbad.
