I edited it out of the review, but I did have an opening about how while stealing people's characters was bad enough, at least you're only upsetting a fanbase, whereas when you steal from real life, you're upsetting families and survivors. One review of this film floats the theory that the director didn't know that the Titanic was real (both Italian cartoon films have the word 'Legend' in the title) and certainly the inability to give a fuck about what actually happened is one of its many, many problems.

As you'll have noted from that clip, though, you barely have time to think about how inaccurate it is, given the hyperactive parade of never-ending bullshit, blatant plagiarism and piss-poor animation. Even if it eschewed the Titanic name and called itself 'Gigantoboat: The Legend', it would be the worst film ever.
