She then meets a rich man named William, who is traveling with his nanny to America. Angelica and William meet in the hallway the fall in love instantly. As their relationship grows, the Titanic meets its fate and strikes an iceberg. The ship starts to sink, and Angelica is separated from William during the evacuation. She makes it to a lifeboat and watches the sinking of the Titanic, fearing that William did not survive the sinking. It is then reveled that William's nanny is Angelica's mother, and they find William alive. An epilogue shows that Angelica and William married and lived "happily ever after".
- 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 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 film, the poor girl falls in love with a rich young man (whose nanny happens to be Angelica's long-lost real mother). Accompanying them on the voyage are a family of immigrant mice, a Cruella de Vil lookalike and her Cockney henchmen, a detective who dresses like Sherlock Holmes, a trio of Mexican mice, and a rapping dog. 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, 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. 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 was just that and decided to do a Lighter and Softer animated imitation of the Cameron film with a whole bunch of 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 -- 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. 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: Compare The Magic Voyage, another disastrous animated film Very Loosely Based on a True Story. Not to be confused with the other Titanic musical, which has a well-written score and is about the actual people who were on the ship. Nor should it be confused with another Italian film called The Legend of the Titanic, which is an entirely different animated ripoff of Titanic that features more talking mice and a giant octopus which saves the ship.
