Titanic: The Legend Goes On

***Titanic: The Legend Goes On*** (Italian: ***Titanic, mille e una storia***[6] or ***Titanic: La leggenda continua***), also released as ***Titanic: The Animated Movie***,[7] is a 2000 Spanish-Italian animated feature film about the sinking of the RMS *Titanic*, written and directed by Camillo Teti.

## Plot

The movie begins on a White Star Line chartered boat train, boarding passengers to the RMS Titanic.
 A poor girl named Angelica, treated as a servant by her wicked stepmother and two stepsisters, dreams of finding both love and her
missing mother, with only a blue locket as a clue to the mother's
identity. At the same time, an upper-class English man named William
boards with his nanny who laments the loss of her daughter years ago, as
 well as his secretary Gaston. Other passengers include the gold-digging
 Winnie, a failing banker named Jeremy McFlannel, a jewel thief named
Corynthia Meanstreak, her two henchmen Kirk and Dirk, a detective named
Sam Bradbury who has been sent to pursue them and Molly, a gorgeous
singer. Also boarding in the cargo hold are a group of animals,
including a family of Yiddish mice, some geese, a dog named Fritz, a
magpie named Hector, and a band of Mexican mice. Throughout the voyage,
the various passengers meet and interact. William and Angelica fall in
love at first sight, while Winnie and Jeremy fall for each other after
Winnie's dog Flopsy trips him. Gaston meanwhile attempts to woo Molly
with Angelica's locket, which he found after she unknowingly dropped it.
 Sam goes undercover to find Corynthia while Kirk and Dirk make several
unsuccessful attempts to steal jewelry from Winnie, but are foiled by
her dog.

The film reaches its climax at a reception held in honor of the
passengers. Angelica is able to attend with William after her cabinmate
Victoria loans her a suitable dress. Meanwhile, the Yiddish mouse child
Maxie discovers that Angelica is missing her locket and recruits the
other animals to help search for it, finding it in time for her to wear
to the reception. Upon seeing the locket being worn by Angelica and
hearing the correct implication from one of the ship's officers that it
was stolen when she received it, Molly slaps Gaston and leaves him. When
 Gertrude, Bernice and Hortense attempt to break up Angelica and
William, Maxie scares them off. Kirk and Dirk manage to successfully
steal a pearl choker from Winnie, but learn that it is a fake, as Winnie
 is not rich and uses fake jewelry to infatuate wealthy men.

The *Titanic* hits an iceberg and begins to sink as the passengers rush for the lifeboats.
 All of the animals escape on floating crates, rescuing the ship's cook
in the process and being led to safety by dolphins. Winnie chooses to
stay behind with Jeremy, who reveals to her that he is not the rich man
she thought he was – he was on his way to America to be bailed out after
 his bank failed. Despite learning this, Winnie still loves him and they
 remain on the ship to die together. Molly also chooses to remain behind
 on the ship, singing with the band, and dies along with them. William
grabs a small child to protect as he falls overboard, when the ship
breaks in half and sinks beneath the ocean. He puts the child safely in a
 nearby boat but his foot is trapped in a rope from the ship's stern and
 he is dragged down with the ship, apparently dying. On one of the
lifeboats, Angelica discovers that William's nanny is actually her
mother and the two are reunited. They come across Sam in the water and
pull him aboard. William surfaces (having freed himself from the rope
and staying alive underwater) alongside the boat and is reunited with
Angelica. An epilogue reveals that the two were married and lived
happily ever after, that Detective Sam Bradbury put Corynthia behind
bars, Kirk and Dirk married Angelica's stepsisters and Gaston married a
wealthy socialite hoping to live off her money but ended up in charge of her home's household chores.
