7 Dumb Films Based On The Titanic You Won’t Believe Got Made

4. Titanic: The Legend Goes On Rips Off James Cameron And Rewrites History So Everyone Survives

Goes2 If you€™re ever searching for a list of the worst films of all time, odds are a Titanic animation will pop up at one point or another. A couple of others I€™ll touch on later, but for now lets look at the one that at least seemed like it tried to do something. That that thing was kidify Cameron€™s billion dollar busting epic is neither here nor there. The story sets itself us as the typical rich meets poor story, with one key difference; it€™s the guy who€™s first class this time, successfully cutting out any of the social differences all other Titanic dramas use for some reason (maybe because it lends drama). The Heart Of The Ocean€™s tackier cousin also makes an appearance, only with much nicer connotations as Angelica€™s (poor Rose) only remaining gift from her estranged mother (who surprise, surprise is on the boat too). With the story simplified and no time spent on the actual sinking itself there€™s surprisingly a lot of time left to fill out the run time. Thankfully a bunch of talking animals who fit snuggly into broad stereotypes are on hand to rap and poorly slapstick their way through that remaining hour. And rapping over half a century before its invention isn't the worst historical accuracy present. That award has to go to the Inglourious Basterds-esque ending where everyone survives; even William (rich Jack) comes out of the sub-freezing water as fresh as a daisy.
