''Titanic: The Legend Goes On'' -- also—also known as ''Titanic: The Animated Movie'' or ''Titanic: The Animated Musical'' -- is—is an animated film written and directed by Italian director Camillo Teti. The film follows the adventures of a [[Cinderella (Disney film)|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 [[101 Dalmatians|Cruella de Vil]] lookalike and her Cockney henchmen, a detective who dresses like [[Sherlock Holmes]], a trio of Mexican mice, and a rapping dog. [[Random Events Plot|You will not be able to follow what they're doing or why they're doing it]]. Then again, you probably wouldn't ''want'' to.
 
The ship eventually hits an iceberg and sinks, [[Foregone Conclusion|of course]] -- but—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]].
 
Cameron's ''Titanic'' was based on an actual tragic event where well over 1,500 people died. Some reviewers wonder if Camillo Teti knew this, or whether he thought the Titanic legend [[Aluminum Christmas Trees|was just that]] and decided to do a [[Lighter and Softer]] animated imitation of the Cameron film with a whole bunch of [[Talking Animal|talking cartoon animals]] for (alleged) comic relief.
 
Since it's hard to find copies of this film, many people don't even believe this film exists. The people who ''have'' seen it don't want to believe it exists. When watched with other people, it becomes [[So Bad It's Good]] and is a perfect subject for riffing -- ariffing—a good ''party'' movie, if you will.
 
There are two versions of the film: the original cut, and a lesser-known cut which features completely different songs, two times the repeated dialogue, three times the [[Stock Sound Effects]], three times the MIDI background music, and (shockingly) a much more coherent plot than the original cut. The latter version was bundled free with some cheap DVD player bundles in the early days of DVD technology. [http://mutantreviewers.wordpress.com/2010/04/05/courtney-does-titanic-the-legend-goes-on-2/ Mutant Reviewers From Hell] has more information about the two versions.

By the way, here's the plot description from the back of the video box:
{{quote|"Set aboard the famous ship Titanic, where you will meet many lovable characters as they embark on a fun-filled adventure across the sea! Meet [[Mary Sue|Angelica]] a young, beautiful girl who dreams of meeting her prince charming (sic). [[Gary Stu|Sir William Greenfield]] a rich and handsome yet shy and modest Scottish nobleman. Corynthia [[Meaningful Name|Meanstreak]] an able swindler who is aided by her two clumsy nephews [[Goldfish Poop Gang|Kirk and Dirk]]. And of course we can't forget all the lovable Animals (sic) who populate the Titanic and will tell their own stories. Maxie the mouse, Geoffrey the cat, Danny the Dalmatian, Hector the Magpie and more!! Together these characters conjure up [[So Bad It's Good|delightful]] entertainment for kids of all ages!
"As it happened in the real story, the Titanic will hit the iceberg [[Blatant Lies|but only to determine the beginning of a new life full of hope for everybody]]!! Filled with [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene|hilarious antics]], [[So Bad It's Good|fun music]] and [[Captain Ersatz|enchanting characters]] this movie is sure to be a hit with the entire family !"'' }}
