Line 7:
''Titanic: The Legend Goes On'' -- also known as ''Titanic: The Animated Movie'' or ''Titanic: The Animated Musical'' -- is an animated film written and directed by Italian director Camillo Teti. The film follows the adventures of a [[Cinderella (Disney)|Cinderella]] [[Captain Ersatz]] named Angelica, who boards the Titanic with her wicked stepmother and her stepsisters. In a role-reversal of the romance from the better known [[James Cameron]] [[Titanic|film]], the poor girl falls in love with a rich young man ([[Contrived Coincidence|whose nanny happens to be]] Angelica's long-lost real mother).
Accompanying them on the voyage are a [[An American Tail|family of immigrant mice]], a [[
The ship eventually hits an iceberg and sinks, [[Foregone Conclusion|of course]] -- but in this [[Lighter and Softer]] fairy tale treatment of the Titanic story, nearly all of the characters we're introduced to in this film survive the disaster and live [[Happily Ever After]].

* <s> Ripoff</s> <s> [[Plagiarism]]</s> [[Captain Ersatz]]: Most of the cast are imitations of characters from well-known animated films. Angelica, her stepmother, and her stepsisters are obvious Cinderella knockoffs and Angelica herself has been compared to Don Bluth's [[Anastasia]]. The mouse family are clearly derivative of ''[[An American Tail]]''. The two dalmatians look a lot like Pongo and Perdita from Disney's ''[[
** Somewhat less obvious are the Lady knock-off from ''[[Lady and The Tramp]]'' (except that the "Lady" is actually ''male'' with a Sam Elliot-like voice), Granny from ''Sylvester and Tweety'' (called "Victoria"), the orange cat Geoffrey who looks quite a bit like Azrael of ''[[The Smurfs]]'', Fritz the rapping terrier (who looks very much like Jock, the terrier in ''Lady and the Tramp''), the geese from ''[[The Aristocats]]'', and (a bit more obscure) William looks quite a bit like Prince Charming of ''Cinderella'' (and his picture on the DVD looks eerily like Leonardo Dicaprio's character in the James Cameron ''Titanic''). And to top it all off, they couldn't resist admitting in script that the chihuahua accompanying the cat was based off of Batty from ''Ferngully''. ("Stupid dog! What am I saying? You look more like a bat!")
** Notice how some characters seem to have better animation than others? This is because the animators just ''traced over'' characters in other animated movies. That's also why the character designs vary wildly in style.
Line 46:
* [[Circling Birdies]]: When Meanstreak's dog gets hit by a meat and flew against the wall, he gets some meat spinning on top of its head.
* [[Conspicuous CG]]: The long-distance shots of the ship during the voyage.
* [[Cross
** Also Maxie the mouse child is voiced by one Caroline Yung.
* [[Cats Are Mean]]: Jeffrey.
