Titan A.E./YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Animation Age Ghetto: A major contributor to the commercial failure of the movie. Some of the commercials try to avoid showing any traditional animation at all.
    • They themselves were seemingly unsure of who their target age group was. They have cutesy cartoony characters like Gune that are clearly aimed for kids, but they also have visible bloodshed and rather graphic onscreen deaths.
      • Don't forget the Fanservice provided on multiple occasions by Akima... honestly, the movie has a very "90's anime" sensibility in regards to content for the most part, but was ultimately marketed as a family film because how else would a Bluth animated film be marketed?
  • Author's Saving Throw: See Explosive Decompression in the main page.
  • Awesome Music: The whole soundtrack.
  • Complete Monster: Preed, a slimy Akrennian barely tolerated even by the others on-board the Valkyrie, makes a name for himself as a backstabbing snake as his true colors unfold throughout the novel. Contacted by Susquehana with the promise of monetary reward for finding the Titan, Preed and his compatriot Joseph Korso betray the other members of the Valkyrie to the Drej. Preed quickly establishes himself as the viler of the two between him and Korso, nearly shooting his way through an entire crowd of innocent colonists to get to Cale and Akima and displaying open, sadistic relish at the prospect of doing so. Once at the Titan itself, Preed turns his gun against Korso and reveals his intention to simply murder all of his former allies and sell out the Titan to the Drej, dooming any chance humanity has to repopulate — and then kicking back and watching as the Drej massacre everything in their path, comfortable with the death of almost all sapient life in the galaxy so long as he gets to stay alive.
  • Crazy Awesome: Gune is undeniably loopy, but that apparently helps him a lot in his scientist/navigator duties.

Cale: I'll tell you a secret: This guy's nuts!
Korso: And I'll tell you another: He's never wrong.
