'''''The Legend of the Titanic''''' ({{lang-es|'''La leyenda del Titanic'''}}, {{lang-it|'''La leggenda del Titanic'''}}) is a 1999 Italian [[animated]] [[fantasy film]] directed by [[Orlando Corradi]] and Kim J. Ok.<ref>[https://mubi.com/films/the-legend-of-the-titanic MUBI]</ref> The film is a very loose adaptation of the [[Titanic|RMS ''Titanic'']] sinking and featured several fantasy elements such as anthropomorphic animals - with by far its most fantastical contribution being the implication that nobody on the Titanic - not even the captain - lost their lives that night.<ref>{{cite news|title=It's the Titanic All Over Again|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=Tg8iAAAAIBAJ&sjid=EgsEAAAAIBAJ&pg=6741,2605285&dq=legend-of-the-titanic&hl=en|access-date=20 May 2013|newspaper=Manila Standard|date=Jun 24, 2002}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last1=Renzetti |first1=Jackie |title=Not Your Cameron's "Titanic" |url=https://mndaily.com/223181/arts-entertainment/not-your-camerons-titanic/ |newspaper=[[The Minnesota Daily]] |access-date=26 January 2022}}</ref>
''The Legend of the Titanic'' was followed by a 2004 sequel titled ''[[Tentacolino]]'' and a 2011 television series, ''Fantasy Island'' (not to be confused with [[Fantasy Island|the popular 1977–1984 fantasy drama of the same name]]).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.mondotv.it/scheda-singola-fantasy-island.html |title=Mondo tv S.P.A - LIBRARY FANTASY ISLAND |website=www.mondotv.it |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141019190948/http://www.mondotv.it/scheda-singola-fantasy-island.html |archive-date=2014-10-19}}</ref>
==Plot==
In
In April 1912, Connors was a young sailor mouse on the ''Titanic''{{'}}s maiden voyage from [[Southampton]] to [[New York City|New York]].
Ice and his gang
▲Ice and his gang of sharks fools a giant octopus named Tentacles into heaving an iceberg to the surface of the ocean. The ''Titanic'' crashes into the iceberg, during which Maltravers and his entourage flee the ship in a lifeboat. In order to fix the telegraph wires, the mice enlist the help of a French mouse named Camembert, who insist they tie the wires to his moustache, seemingly electrocuting him to death.
▲Elizabeth and Juan manage to save her father and escort him to a lifeboat. Suddenly, several whales and dolphins arrive to help with the rescue, while a guilt-ridden but determined Tentacles tries to hold the bow and the stern together as they are splitting apart, and keep the ship on the surface for as long as possible. Elizabeth, Juan, Connors, Ronny, and Smiley jump off the ''Titanic'' into the sea and are saved by a whale. Once everyone on the ship has been saved, the ''Titanic'' finally sinks, taking Tentacles with it and seemingly crushing him. In the morning, the passengers are taken aboard the [[RMS Carpathia|RMS ''Carpathia'']]. The said ship arrives in New York and disembarks the passengers. Elizabeth and Juan are married, as are Connors and Stella. It is revealed that Tentacles and Camembert have actually both survived. Everyone celebrates at the [[Brooklyn Bridge]], congratulating Tentacles for saving everyone.
▲The film ends with old Connors and Stella back in modern-day New York and Connors telling his grandchildren that whales are still hunted, and that they must do whatever they can to stop the whaling scheme at all costs. Stella ends off the film by telling the grandchildren: "Your grandfather loves to tell stories, but like all sailors, you shouldn't take him too seriously."
