In Search of the Titanic

For there to be a sequel to a Titanic movie that's even worse than Titanic the Animated Movie is really low even for a European cartoon. This makes "The Legend of Titanic" more bearable to watch and that's bad if the writer made something that's even worse.

How to start, well if you don't know this is a sequel to "The Legend of Titanic" which is the one with the giant Octopus. Which makes the other one with the Rapping Dog look like a better movie. And of course they brought back the main characters from the first one. For some reason they wanted to revisit the Titanic which is at the bottom of the Atlanic. While the Prisoner Sharks who actually plotted the sinking of the Titanic in the last one tried to kill off these characters by cutting the life support line of their submarine. After that we see Tentacles the giant octopus the same one who caused the Titanic to sink and ended up saving everyone to redeem himself. He goes to help our friends along with some help. This is when the sequel starts to become unbearable. A group of Atlanteans who take our main characters to Atlantis! And the rest of the movie is just painful to watch.

For Italian animators to mock the Titanic disaster even more is really low and shameful. This not only has the same boring characters it also introduces new characters where you'd have to be on drugs to come up with off beat characters like those. The animation is OK, but the CG effects looked unfinished and unprofessional. The colors and backgrounds feel like something out of a coloring book. And there's plenty of plot holes and errors to notice throughout the movie.

I don't know why the Italians kept mocking the Titanic, but to make three movies about it is just an abomination. I've yet to find an Italian cartoon movie that is great. But so far these Titanic movies are the only ones and they are so far the worse Italian animated films I've ever watched.

This movie is absolutely horrendous!

It doesn't give a damn about consistency, The characters are so bland that I have homicidal thoughts about all of them just to get me through their many many boring and uneventful scenes, The writing is mind numbingly stupid, the two songs make me want to pour corrosive acid into my ears, The plot is all over the place and makes no sense, the lines these characters come out with are either utterly useless, utterly boring or flat out ridiculous, THIS MOVIE IS Bizarre, PAINFUL AND BORING!

This isn't even a film about the wreckage of the Titanic, It's a stupid, boring, horrible film about Atlantis and it's horrible inhabitants!

The main protagonists are the same as they were in "The Legend of Titanic" except considerably more bland, The king of Atlantis is flat out evil, trying to keep people in his kingdom for all eternity with no way of escape, Tentacles, oh sorry, 'Audie' is only a minor character in this movie, Pingo is an annoying gay stereotype, and The evil mice group are actually the ones in the right.

Seriously, who is this film for? Another slap in the face of the families of one of the worst tragedies in history, I can't believe this film exist.

Before I begin, I'd like to say that there are probably worse movies out there, but this is the worst movie I've ever seen. If there are worse, please don't let me know.

With that said, THIS IS THE WORST, THE ABSOLUTE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN. MY. LIFE! I've seen Son of the Mask, Mr Popper's Penguins, Garbage Pail Kids, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Biodome, North, Starchaser, and the other Titanic movies, but this tops them all!

The movie is a sequel to the almost equally abominable movie The Legend of the Titanic, though it's a sequel in the same way Halloween III was a sequel to the rest of the franchise. None of the characters' voices are similar to the original, most of the personalities are either different or nonexistent, and they changed the gender of one of the main characters... The entire movie is also a contradiction since the first movie was told in a flashback that was completely different from what we see here. It's clear that whoever made this movie didn't even bother to watch the first movie(not that I blame them.)

To call this bad would be an understatement. To call this awful wouldn't cut it. To call it an UNGODLY ABOMINATION OF MANKIND AND IMAGINATION wouldn't even scrape the tip of the iceberg! The movie rapes your mind, destroys your intelligence, and smashes any sense of sanity or reality you may have had before watching. You will want to stab your eyes out and pour bleach into your skull to try to forget this crap!

I could go on and on, but this is a review, so what's it about?

In short: The main characters go searching for the Titanic, end up in Atlantis, and fight a swarm of mice and sharks.

In long: The main characters go searching for the Titanic, end up in Atlantis, and fight a swarm of mice and sharks.

Yes, this movie has the barest excuse for a plot, which becomes more nonsensical and disjointed as the movie goes on. There are side plots about love interests that go nowhere, villains from the first movie that appear out of nowhere and return to the inky blackness they came from, and an amazingly unnerving atmosphere created by the hostage cult known as Atlantis and the characters which instantly develop Stockholm Syndrome.

Oh yeah, the main characters are brought to Atlantis against their will, experimented on, and told they can never return... and they take this news as if told they just had to stay with at a friend's house overnight. ...Did I mention this movie is devoid of all logic and emotion? What else happens? They get in a war with rats and sharks... for some reason. The bad guy from the first movie joins in... for some reason. The rats give up but the war goes on for another 20 minutes... for some reason. Finally, our heroes are rewarded... FOR SOME REASON! They should just call this "Bland Characters Doing Random Things."

Oh, and if you don't think any of that sounds too bad, I didn't even mention Pengo and the other "aquatic friends", the toys that come to life without explanation(a la Toy Story, but creepier), the god-awful musical numbers with one featuring a rapping shark and the other continually changing genres, and the horrible HORRIBLE ending that will make you question if life is even worth living any more...

The characters are bland, stiff, and lifeless, as if they're puppets in a very bad kindergarten show. The songs are ear-rapingly bad and thrown in at the last minute. The animation makes Hanna Barbera look like a Miyazaki film. The backgrounds are murky. Even the voice-acting sounds like they dragged random people in the studio into a recording booth and gave them 30 minutes to ad-lib something. This is probably the only movie where I can say every frame of animation and every line spoken physically hurts me...

Overall, if I haven't made it clear enough, THIS MOVIE IS A TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRENDOUS, GOD-AWFUL, PATHETIC, WASTE OF TIME! I would give this movie -∞ stars if I could. No artistry, vision, story, or anything redeemable at all. You will walk away feeling unclean and it'll take days to recover from what you've seen. This is a movie that hits rock bottom in the first minute and somehow manages to drill through the Earth's crust as it continues on, finally ending in the molten center of pain and suffering. I wish that every copy of the movie and everyone involved was burned in one massive bonfire! ...If you're a glutton for punishment, watch Bobsheaux's review of the movie to get an understanding of just how bad this is. And don't forget the eye-bleach...

This is not as bad as Titanic:The Animated Movie(or The Legend Goes On), but it is worse than its predecessor Legend of the Titanic, which is also really bad. In Search of the Titanic does have a rapping shark which is even more disturbing and anachronistic than the rapping dog, and it was such an embarrassing scene in every way, but that is not the only problem the film has.

The animation is sloppy with washed out colours and backgrounds, flat character designs and all-over-the-place editing, and the music is both awful and forgettable and completely took me out of the period. The dialogue is just horrid, I have actually got a headache from banging my head on the wall over 100 times, while the story is rushed(again not helped by its scant length), predictable with some insulting(to the intelligence) scenes such as everyone surviving which took away from any poignancy or accuracy. The dubbing is abysmal, the voice work is wooden once again and the characters are stereotypical and devoid of any sympathy or likability.

All in all, really poor and problematic, and like its predecessor and Titanic:The Animated Movie I had my intelligence insulted again. 1/10 Bethany Cox
