Titanic: The Legend Goes On (Italian: Titanic, mille e una storia[1] or Titanic: La leggenda continua; also known as Titanic: The Animated Movie or just Titanic Animated) is a 2001 Italian animated film about the sinking of the RMS Titanic.

It should not be confused with The Legend of the Titanic, an animated movie from 1999 with a similar plot.

Plot

The plot centers around a poor girl called Anglica who lives with, and works for, her stepmother and stepsisters. They travel on the inconic ship, Titanic, along side a stereotypical English detective, two clumsy burgalars, a family of mice and, for some reason, a rapping dog with a beatbox and jersey. She meets a young man called William who is travelling with his nanny, and they immediately fall in love. As their relationship grows, the ship meets with the disaster it was famous for and strikes the iceburg. The ship sinks and Angelica thinks that William went down with it. In the lifeboat, it is revealed that William's nanny is Angelica's mother. They find William in the water alive and an epilogue reveals that the two were married and lived "happily ever after".

Reception

On its DVD release, Canada's Waterloo Region Record newspaper said of the film: "Talk about boneheaded revisionism: A feature length cartoon version of the Titanic story is a bad enough idea."[2] The Nostalgia Critic gave his review of the film on March 24, 2009. He criticized the film for having a very similar plot to the 1997 Titanic film and incredibly poor animation. A particular scene he blasted was the rapping dog, noting that the clothing and music featured would not have been invented until many decades after the events.
