5.0 out of 5 stars
A mind-altering exemplar of animated Italian bad-taste, June 7, 2006
I watched this hung over from the events of 6/6/6 and it was positively delightful. I thought the "mucho gusto" song (in which fat, drunken, sombrero clad mexican mice sing in stereotypical mexican accents about having a good time) was a particularly fine example of gaucherie.
But more than historical inaccuracies and unapologetic anachronism this film is distinguished by its inability to sustain a sad or tragic mood for more than 30 seconds at a time without introducing some piece of corny and/or incomprehensible goofiness onto the screen.
Also, the racial charicatures are an especially tasteless addition to a movie that manages to plagiarize James Cameron's Titanic, Cinderella, An American Tale, and Lady and the Tramp. This film defines hodgepodge.
In many ways this film looks like it was the product of a third-grader's imagination and naivete. Events are strung together by the most tenuous and illogical of associations. Sometimes it really seems that this film is not just the result of lazy or talentless scriptwriters - it is the efforts of individuals with a fundamentally immature understanding of the workings of the world. The italian storyboarders probably thought to themselves, "Its for kids so it does not need to be coherent".
I can't wait for the sequel to drop: "September 11th: The legend continues" in which cute animals (trapped in the burning world trade center) help to save the day by assisting the evacuation of two love-torn financial analysts whose sentiments are brought into a crisp focus by the tragic backdrop. Who says tragedies cannot be made palatable for youngsters by the insertion of adorable mice, dogs, and historical inaccuracy?

"It's Party Time!", August 11, 2007
...or so the super-cool rapping hip-hop dog (or is it "dawg") in this little flick would have you believe.
For sheer "Oh-my-gosh-they-didn't-just-do-that" -ability, I gave this a shaky 2. (I didn't have a 1 1/2 option.) A movie with which to seriously piss off your Titanic-loving friends.
With nary a glance over their shoulders, safe in the knowledge that the Disney lawyers have fallen from grace these days, the animators cheerfully rip off many well-known characters, toss them onto a big boat - it's CGI rendered in some scenes! - and tell them to, uh, go do something.
With 3, count'em, 3 songs, it is impossible to tell which of them is the worst. Let's see, is it the anachronistic dog's rap? No, it must be the horrid "Mexican" party song. Nah, it's the tepid love song warbled over and over by the ship's very busty chanteuse. Well golly! All THREE of them take the big tasteless cake.
A laughably sad attempt at capitalizing on the fame of a blockbuster, it is simply a movie that should never have splatted into existence in the first place. Buy it if you want to shake your head in disgust and laugh out loud with some friends. (That's what I did!) It's Party Time!!!

Disrespectful Beyond Belief !!, December 4, 2006
First thing that comes to mind is this movie is An Insult to Titanic's Victims! I was curious as to what it would be like. I was very unsure about it when i first saw it was Animated, i thought "UH OH!" this sounds very Dodgy. And it was!
Aweful animation and an aweful story. they say "quote" based on the LEGEND of Titanic! Oh my god. How disrespectful, it HAPPENED! it was never a LEGEND.
The movie is a total copy of stories like CINDERELLA. the charector that plays a COPY of Rose plays the cinderella charector in third class. she has a wicked step mother and 2 ugly sisters who live up in 1st class. "YES! i know.. can you beleive this?" a total COPY od Cinderella, but on the TITANIC! my mind BOGGLES!!
It gets worse.... there is a DOG on bought.. theres lots of animals actually. its based on animals. some Mexican Mice (Whatever) and some Ducks and Dalmations (who all ofcourse get onto the lifeboats and live happily ever after while all the humans DIE miserable deaths, the filthy Rats and mice (literally ofcourse) ofcourse get a lifeboat ride.
Anyway the WORST part... which made me SWITCH OFF ... was when this DOG started to RAP!!!!!!! YES!! RAP!!!!! he suddenly turned around and he was wearing loads of BLING, he had a microphone and was rapping like Kevin Federline!!! on board the titanic in 1912!!!!!!!!!! OH MY GOD... i felt so SICK at this point i couldnt physically BARE TO WATCH minute longer.
