''The Magic Voyage'' (originally ''Die Abenteuer von Pico und Columbus'' or "The Adventures of Pico and Columbus") is an animated feature from Germany that is... ''[[Very Loosely Based on a True Story|loosely]]'' based off the voyages of [[Christopher Columbus]]. You know, the sailor who wanted to prove the world was round -- not find an easier trade route from Europe to Asia, which is surely a [[Viewers are Morons|far harder concept for children to grasp]] (for the record, the ancient Babylonians ''already knew'' that the Earth was round).

Columbus also wished to help his best friend, a [[Small Annoying Creature|wood-boring "worm"]] (he looks more like a generic cartoony [[Cartoon Creature|bug thing]]) who ''[[Lull Destruction|never stops talking]]'', rescue his girlfriend. His girlfriend is a [[Everything's Better with Princesses|Fairy Princess]] from a [[Magical Land]] on the moon, and she was stolen away by an [[Big Creepy-Crawlies|evil swarm of bugs]]. The Swarm brought her to the new world, where Columbus and the worm finally find her held captive in an [[Hollywood History|Aztec-looking pyramid]] full of honey. Columbus destroys the evil Swarm, and the native people celebrate his ridding their home of the terrible evil. Columbus and his annoying bug friend sail back home with visions of big cities and shopping malls dancing in their heads.

Surely, you remember all of this from your grade-school history lessons?

Basically, this is the movie that makes ''[[~~Titanic Animated|~~Titanic: The Legend Goes On]]'' look perfectly reasonable in comparison.

* [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: [[Subverted Trope]] with Queen Isabella. Characters in typical animation would be frightened to have that woman pursuing them. Christopher Columbus, however, even when he ISN'T drunk, seems to enjoy it quite a bit.

* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Particularly when Columbus is in the jungle - "I need to start going to the gym!". Or (hearing a tribal beat) "That's going to hit over big someday.".
