I've already reviewed The Jungle Book 2016 (a very awesome film). Now let's see the exact opposite of awesome: Tentacolino (AKA In Search Of The Titanic AKA This Movie Stinks!) I did not really see this movie: I saw what I could from people like Bobsheaux, Mysterious Mr. Enter, Musical Hell, ShogunGino, and The Nostalgia Critic. And there's gonna be some spoilers up ahead, so be prepared.It's bad enough that they made a movie that insulted all of the victims of the Titanic, but they made a pointless sequel with Atlantis, and they named it after a pointless Kimba-The-White-Lion-faced octopus no one cares about (oh, sorry. They drop the name entirely to go with "Oddy".) The characters are one-dimensional, the animation is kinda cheap, and the plot went off the rails of a crazy train. In other words, it made no sense.So we see a bathysphere that won't be invented until the 1930s, a rapping shark worse than the rapping dog, and (of course) ATLANTIS. Along with a dumb musical numbers, a mixed ripoff of the Island of Misfit Toys and Toy Story, and rats wanting to take over the world, it makes me wanna fall asleep from boredom right there and then.And how does the movie end? By raising the Titanic back up with everything fixed before the tragedy began. ...really? I actually feel sorry for the ship being brought back to life by these Aquaman rejects. And the main human characters didn't do anything to deserve that reward. It was their dog Smile (what'd Gregory Snegoff do in a past life to put him in animated Titanic movies?) and the mice that did it.On a scale from one to ten, I'd put it at 0, but I'm giving it a 1. And I really do NOT recommend this movie. AT. ALL. Heck, even Atlantis Squarepantis is better than this!

Tentacolino (Italian: Alla ricerca del Titanic), also known as In Search of the Titanic, is a 2004 animated film. It is a sequel to the 1999 Italian animated film The Legend of the Titanic directed by Kim Jun-OK.Inside a bathysphere, Don Juan, Elizabeth, Smile, Top Connors, and Ronnie have begun exploring the ocean depths in search of the sunken wreck of the Titanic. However, Ice Teeth, a malicious shark who is their sworn enemy, along with his shark henchmen, have cut the cable to the Bathysphere, causing them to sink. The swooned occupants will magically awake in the lost city of Atlantis.Welcomed by the King of the Court, the heroes undergo a special treatment enabling them to breath underwater. In the meanwhile, Ronnie and Top Connors are approached by other mice and attend a secret meeting where they learn about a plot to steal the Atlantis' longevity elixir. Back on the surface, Ronnie and Top Connors alert Don Juan and Smile to the happening should these mice succeed in their plot. Together, they will reach the king, who, with his own counselors, decide to substitute the longevity elixir with ordinary water. It is then agreed that Top Connors and Ronnie will accompany the felonious mice.With his accomplices, the big mouse steals the elixir, oblivious to the fact that it has been substituted with water. When the big fellow reaches a large city, he invites the mice's chief to try the elixir. This, however, almost kills him by drowning, as it convinces him to jump head first into the sewers tied to heavy stones.As a reward, the king of Atlantis will assist in the Titanic's recovery, enlisting the help of a gigantic Sting Ray, as well as Smile, our giant, friendly octopus. The king next transports the Titanic to the bay of a secret island.I really found this Italian animated film excellent and I voluntarily gave it 10 out of 10.

When the Nostalgia Critic mentioned a sequel to the first awful movie I was shocked and saw the movie myself. My expression was either rage or stunned.1. The animation is pretty bad. The designs are confusing and weird. Plus the lip syncing doesn't even work. 2. The 'story' is involving them looking for the Titanic for some unknown reason and then they go to Atlantis. This is so dumb on so many levels. Plus they're too many plot holes and unanswered questions. Why did to Atlantis people help the humans? I thought they were supposed to be secret. Plus why are they trying to stop the rats when they don't have the magic elixir and just have water instead? Why didn't they send the humans back home? They have families and friends who probably miss them and you stuck them on a deserted island. How can the rats take over the world with an elixir that can only be used to breath under water? The list goes on and on.3. The characters are dull and flat. I don't know anything about them and hardly remember their names. They could be replaced by totally different characters and you would never be able to tell the difference.The Titanic is a tragic event that killed thousands of lives. This is a way you want to remember the lost lives? Creating a movie that's pretty much insulting them and the audience alike? I'm sorry but that's repulsive. Stick with the James Cameron version and leave this film under the waves.

Before I begin, I'd like to say that there are probably worse movies out there, but this is the worst movie I've ever seen. If there are worse, please don't let me know.With that said, THIS IS THE WORST, THE ABSOLUTE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN IN. MY. LIFE! I've seen Son of the Mask, Mr Popper's Penguins, Garbage Pail Kids, Manos: The Hands of Fate, Biodome, North, Starchaser, and the other Titanic movies, but this tops them all!The movie is a sequel to the almost equally abominable movie The Legend of the Titanic, though it's a sequel in the same way Halloween III was a sequel to the rest of the franchise. None of the characters' voices are similar to the original, most of the personalities are either different or nonexistent, and they changed the gender of one of the main characters... The entire movie is also a contradiction since the first movie was told in a flashback that was completely different from what we see here. It's clear that whoever made this movie didn't even bother to watch the first movie(not that I blame them.)To call this bad would be an understatement. To call this awful wouldn't cut it. To call it an UNGODLY ABOMINATION OF MANKIND AND IMAGINATION wouldn't even scrape the tip of the iceberg! The movie rapes your mind, destroys your intelligence, and smashes any sense of sanity or reality you may have had before watching. You will want to stab your eyes out and pour bleach into your skull to try to forget this crap!I could go on and on, but this is a review, so what's it about?In short: The main characters go searching for the Titanic, end up in Atlantis, and fight a swarm of mice and sharks.In long: The main characters go searching for the Titanic, end up in Atlantis, and fight a swarm of mice and sharks.Yes, this movie has the barest excuse for a plot, which becomes more nonsensical and disjointed as the movie goes on. There are side plots about love interests that go nowhere, villains from the first movie that appear out of nowhere and return to the inky blackness they came from, and an amazingly unnerving atmosphere created by the hostage cult known as Atlantis and the characters which instantly develop Stockholm Syndrome.Oh yeah, the main characters are brought to Atlantis against their will, experimented on, and told they can never return... and they take this news as if told they just had to stay with at a friend's house overnight. ...Did I mention this movie is devoid of all logic and emotion? What else happens? They get in a war with rats and sharks... for some reason. The bad guy from the first movie joins in... for some reason. The rats give up but the war goes on for another 20 minutes... for some reason. Finally, our heroes are rewarded... FOR SOME REASON! They should just call this "Bland Characters Doing Random Things."Oh, and if you don't think any of that sounds too bad, I didn't even mention Pengo and the other "aquatic friends", the toys that come to life without explanation(a la Toy Story, but creepier), the god-awful musical numbers with one featuring a rapping shark and the other continually changing genres, and the horrible HORRIBLE ending that will make you question if life is even worth living any more...The characters are bland, stiff, and lifeless, as if they're puppets in a very bad kindergarten show. The songs are ear-rapingly bad and thrown in at the last minute. The animation makes Hanna Barbera look like a Miyazaki film. The backgrounds are murky. Even the voice-acting sounds like they dragged random people in the studio into a recording booth and gave them 30 minutes to ad-lib something. This is probably the only movie where I can say every frame of animation and every line spoken physically hurts me...Overall, if I haven't made it clear enough, THIS MOVIE IS A TERRIBLE, HORRIBLE, HORRENDOUS, GOD-AWFUL, PATHETIC, WASTE OF TIME! I would give this movie -∞ stars if I could. No artistry, vision, story, or anything redeemable at all. You will walk away feeling unclean and it'll take days to recover from what you've seen. This is a movie that hits rock bottom in the first minute and somehow manages to drill through the Earth's crust as it continues on, finally ending in the molten center of pain and suffering. I wish that every copy of the movie and everyone involved was burned in one massive bonfire! ...If you're a glutton for punishment, watch Bobsheaux's review of the movie to get an understanding of just how bad this is. And don't forget the eye-bleach...
