A lot of people died but it's party time!
9 September 2015
Simply, this is a truly appalling movie. It's an outright offense to all those who died in the Titanic disaster and their relatives. A group of deaths is not a topic to treat lightly. That's a disaster, not a fairy tale or a warmhearted musical.

The storyline is void and lifeless. It has many plot points, but they don't go anywhere. They're just cheap, lazy, blatant rip-offs of Disney films and another things, like Cinderella, 101 Dalmatians, Lady and the Tramp, Speedy Gonzales, Sherlock Holmes, etc. The romance between the boy and the girl is completely forced. They fell magically in love. Also, the writing is poor. The jokes don't work, the dialogs are badly thought. In one scene, the people try to combat the sinking ship with buckets, something that not even Patrick Star would do. And the cheesy ending deprived all the sadness this film should have, because it's about a serious topic.

The music "Holding Me" is quite good, but it cannot redeem this fiasco. The other songs are bad. The rap song is anachronistic, unpleasant and out of place. Bonus points for mocking a real life disaster. The mice song is completely dumb, lifeless and racist.

The characters have no personality. They're no more than cheap knock-offs. Either they're irritant or forgettable. "Cruella"'s dog is unreasonably treated as a villain only because his owner is evil. Those Mexican mice are just stereotypes of Mexican people, specially in their song.

Character design is decent, but animation is bad, lacking fluidity.

Enjoyment? No. At best, you can laugh of the terrible work.

Moral: Never mock a real life disaster, please.
