I thought “The Legend Of Titanic” was absurd but now comes a sequel. “In Search of the Titanic” (also known as “Tentacolino”) is a movie that defies explanation. This is a movie where a talking dog, who is seated in underwater chariot, fires a laser pistol at a talking rat while being cheered on by a giant octopus.
A couple, who survived the sinking of the Titanic, go in search of the wreckage of the ship but find themselves brought to Atlantis. It’s a bizarre place with a faceless ruler and toys that sing and dance like “Toy Story”. Unfortunately, this underwater kingdom is about to be under attack from an army of rats.
If you saw “The Legend Of Titanic” then you may vaguely recognise some of the characters including the talking dog and the talking octopus. The prison shark gang are also back. There are also loads of new characters including the singing and dancing toys that are basically stolen from “Toy Story”. Sadly, none of the characters are interesting and all their dialog feels awkward. The animation here is actually a little better than the previous movie. It’s not exactly a film that looks good but there is a noticeable visual improvement here.
This is a movie that has kidnapped logic and locked it in the basement. Nothing in this movie makes any sense whatsoever. It’s a stupid, stupid, stupid movie but at least it’s not as mundane as the other animated films based on the Titanic. Very young children may get some enjoyment out of this movie but why show them this when you could show them “Toy Story” or so many other family movies that are far superior. This is a laughably bad movie that is so ridiculous that almost feels like it was made with the intention of being the stupidest film ever made.
