This had got to be one of the worst and most shocking ideas in the history of animated features. It's basically the story of Titanic, only butchered by some dumb Italians. The characters are unoriginal, the plot is missing and it's directed to kids, so you'll know what will happen in the end... *shudder* This is also known as "The Legend Goes On", but "Legend"? Oh God. Did they even feel sorry for the 1500+ that died on the real Titanic accident, or did they just think it was a legend after seeing James Cameron's version? At least that film didn't have talking animals!
The plot is about a young girl named Angelica (Don Bluth's Anastasia) who lives with her stepmother Gertrude (Lady Tremaine from Cinderella) and ugly stepsisters, Hortensia and Bernice (what's next, she is going to get a fairy godmother?). She wishes to see her long-lost mother, whose photo is kept in a locket of hers. Later, Angelica becomes one of the many passengers of the Titanic, along with her grandmother and some talking animals, including a family of mice that obviously rip off that of An American Tail, a magpie named Hector who rips off Jeffery from The Secret of NIMH, two Pongos (one being female), an orange tabby named Geoffery and a chihuahua named Tiger. Jeez, did they seem to screw up on the names of those last two characters?
Random stuff happens on the Titanic. A detective named Sam Bradberry does his disguising work, the mice and their friends have a wild adventure on the ship to organise for a party, a mean old woman named Ms. Meanstreak (Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians) sends her two minions Kirk and Dirk (Japser and Horace) off to rob stuff, a man named Gaston (the villain from Beauty and the Beast crossed with Lickboot from Tom and Jerry: The Movie) tries to make himself look attracting to a hot singer on the ship, and Angelica falls in love (similar to the 1997 film) with a young man named William (any classic Disney prince), who is just as British as she is. Meanwhile, Maxie, the annoying child of the mouse family, meets Fritz the dog, who is somewhat in charge of the animals' behaviour. And then Fritz raps. Wait, what...? A rap number, a boombox and basketball clothing in 1912? Is this dog a time-traveller or something? It's just ridiculous and wrong.
I'm not sure what happens after, apart from Angelica's locket being stolen by the singer, because there is no coherent plot whatsoever. There is one scene, though, where the cartoony mouse gets chased by a chef which results in a rip-off of a scene in The Little Mermaid. Much later, after the animals have a party, the most important part of the story takes place, only everyone survives.
I'll have to spoil it because the creators spoiled it themselves - Angelica finds her mother, Fritz and Flopsy the spaniel (male Lady from Lady and the Tramp) become police dogs owned by Sam who arrests Ms. Meanstreak and Tiger, Gaston has to take care of someone else, the mice and Hector get to work for a new restaurant as the chef's thanks for being rescued by them years before Ratatouille was developed, the ugly stepsisters marry Kirk and Dirk while Gertrude is heartbroken and Angelica and William get wed, adopting the dalmatians and two of the children on the ship. That's right. They all lived happily ever after as many other people were supposed to die in one of the biggest and most tragic disasters ever known since the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Could you imagine an animated movie based on that disaster where the volcano gets blocked by Zeus? That would suck as much as this.
There are two versions of the film but first, let me review the original version: The original Italian version that only got dubbed in English for one country lasts 90 minutes, which is quite surprising. You wouldn't expect an animated movie this cheap to be that length. Anyhow, the MIDI- style music is just weird. The instruments sound like they're in reverse. The three songs are quite nicer to listen to that the cut version; I kinda liked listening to the Mexican mouse song. The parts of the English dub of the original that make it awful are the few sound glitches where part of the dialogue gets cut or repeated.
The cut version doesn't beat the original at all. The animation is slower and more repetitive. The opening isn't even that exciting. The uncut version had a nice opening where we pan through a countryside. But the cut version doesn't do that. Instead, the opening is just opening credits on a black background while dramatic music is played on a piano, and repeated bits of the ending are played. There are a lot of cuts, which prevent people from waiting, but that doesn't mean it's any better. The music makes more sense, but the songs suck. Including the replacement for the rap song "Viva Fritz", named "Party Time", which is just so ridiculously bad it's shockingly hilarious! The end credits are also 12 minutes long with footage from the original to keep it at 72 minutes. Rubbish!
Overall, this version of Titanic is a true disaster. Why was it made? Who thought it up? What the hell was on the creators' minds? They just made fun of a horrible disaster by making another one! I'm glad it sold out on Amazon.com. And didn't Disney, Don Bluth or Warner Bros. even file any lawsuits? Avoid this movie at all costs. No-one likes it, and you wouldn't want to waste your time. If you are brave enough to encounter both versions of the worst movie ever created by Italian-kind on YouTube, god shall have mercy on your soul!
