The Legend of the Titanic (1999)

The title of the movie should already be a turn off. Its a shame that this idiot from Italy wanted to tell his version of what really happened on the Titanic, and also had the nerve to call the Titanic a "legend". What a disgrace. This movie is so terrible that it already has spoiler alerts but who cares because nobody is interested in this wannabe-Disney garbage. The animation is choppy and there's no major focus on this movie. All we see is talking mice (a marketing opportunity to profit off the deaths of 1000s of people); a romantic couple which has a creepy man who sniffs on gloves and a woman who can talk to mice just because of the magic ju-ju that is caused from crying outside that we'll never ever hear about it again just because... MOVIE; and an evil whale hunter and his henchmen that has magic telecommunications with the sharks which has nothing to do with the ju-ju and crying tears. Just because its "not-fiction" and just because its magic doesn't mean you can make up the rules as you go along! During the climax we just see the sinking of the Titanic, so really there's nothing to build up to this. Oh and I forgot to mention, there's also this giant octopus with a human face which does not appear until shortly before the climax, which is apparently strong enough to throw an iceberg at the Titanic because the octopus was just playing games with the sharks.Therefore, I condemn the lovey-dovey characters Elizabeth and Don Juan to read the 5 Languages of Love by Gary Chapman. The writers Celelia Castaldo and Loris Peota should also study magic from JK Rowling's Harry Potter just so they don't make a huge embarrassment of themselves across the world. Lastly, the director Kim J OK should also learn about how to incorporate anthropomorphic animals into a kids' film by studying from Disney movies. Damn! Don't give them any ideas.Just watch James Cameron's Titanic (1997) and stop paying attention to this crap otherwise it will become popular and we will have to deal with more idiots making excuses for this crap that truly is only useful as a doorstop.

Currently, this Italian animated film is #28 on IMDb's infamous Bottom 100 list. In some ways, I am very surprised since it's not a particularly famous bad film and there were a lot of animated films in the 1970s which had just as terrible animation! Still, I do concede that it's a bad film...and not one I'd let kids watch unless I hated them.The film begins with a grandpa mouse telling his grandkids his story about the Titanic. Oddly, then the film switches to the perspective of all the humans! What follows is a bizarro story of evil sharks and a scheme to destroy the whales?! Huh...somehow I missed this when I've watched documentaries about this 1912 disaster!Let's talk about what I really liked about the film... Okay, finished.Okay, now let's talk about what I didn't like. The animation was very poor, with a very low cel count (making the characters move in a choppy fashion) and often only animated small portions of the characters in an effort to make the film less expensive. So, often the characters expressions were flat and a bit zombie-like. Also, to save money, bad CGI was sometimes used that looked so stunningly different from the other animation that I was a bit surprised. This sure ain't a Disney product! In many ways, it's akin to the cheaper Hanna-Barbera films of decades ago. The story was just bizarre and stupid...'nuff said about that. The voices used were occasionally not terrible. As for the music, it was odd to hear so much cheap electronic music (made using a keyboard) for a film set in 1912.So my final verdict is that I did hate the film. But I still wonder how it made it to the Bottom 100 list. After all, there have been a lot of crappy cartoons (such as "Pinocchio in Outer Space")....so why did this one manage to achieve the notoriety of the Bottom 100 list? I'd like to understand this...as well as a studio's decision to make such a misguided cartoon!

This movie should have never existed my class took a trip to Washigton D.C and we watched BOTH animated Titanic movies and the sequel to this one. And I am being serious I was the only one on my bus who did not like the movies everyone else they loved them and they were either 16 or my age 17 my girlfriend was not on my bus and when she heard. She was like I'm sorry and promised to make out with me later. Now onto the movie there only 2'deaths and even then the ones that do die are brought back to life without explanation my whole bus started crying when that one mouse died and when tentacles died. Me I cheered. I was like OH BOO HOO HOO NO KNE CARES ABOUT YOUR THEIR DEATHS. I mean no one dies in this one and it so insulting to all the people who sailed especially me because my great-Grandfather died on Titanic. I am insulted my girlfriend's insulted(whose great-Grandfather also died on Titanic)and so is about 99% of people who saw this movie except for the idiots who thought this movie was good.

Granted, I was in the mood for a terrible movie on a Friday night so this was the perfect match with the recommendation I got. The Legend of the Titanic was just plain awful and lived up to its reputation. It was a terrible rip-off of the James Cameron Titanic movie, but with absolutely atrocious animation, side characters and music added to make it all the more unwatchable.Basically, it's the story of the Titanic, but with mice pushing two lovers together and a back-story of how sea animals both caused the destruction and helped save everyone. Yes, it re-wrote history, but when Quentin Tarantino did it in Inglourious Basterds, it was much more exciting.Look, I refuse to spend any more time on this film. It's dreadful from beginning to end, even when they suddenly switched from their bad drawings to super-cheap computer animation. It's not even a so- bad-it's-good movie. It's just a lazy, no-good, bad idea and if this made $5 profit, there is no God.* * *Final thoughts: Don't see this. There are far better terrible, "so- bad-they're-good" flicks like Birdemic and The Room. Stick with the classics.
