IMDb plot summary: A grandfather mouse tells his grandchildren the "real" story of the Titanic disaster, including himself, evil sharks, a giant octopus, and an evil whaling scheme.
Directed by Orlando Corradi and Kim Jun Ok. Starring Gregory Snegoff, Francis Pardeilhan, and Jane Alexander.
The Legend of the Titanic is an animated film set on the Titanic, in which the iceberg is thrown into the way of the ship by an octopus child, on behalf of an evil shark who is helping a greedy human procure whaling rights from a wealthy duke. Also it's mostly told by mice. How do you even rank or review something this ridiculous? It's terrible and baffling (and very unclear on who did and did not survive the disaster). The voice acting is messy, with many of the more distinct character voices being fully incomprehensible. The animation is awful, with some hilariously abrupt CGI giving us full shots of the ship in a way that is so jarring against the clunky stiff 2D character scenes. It is a fun watch, though, and I even watched it a second time with my husband so we could snark it together. An impossible film to rank, so that should mostly be disregarded, but enjoyably terrible.
