History YMMV / TitanAE

* CultClassic: Has a small, but slowly growing, group of devoted fans.

*** [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Susquehana]] is the [[BigBad absolute monarch]] of the [[ScaryDogmaticAliens Drej]] and a genocidal nightmare of an alien. Leading the Drej in genocidal campaigns against entire planets, Susquehana's ultimate goal is to spread the light of the Drej all across the galaxy and exterminate all non-Drej life throughout. Learning that the technology of the Titan still exists even after Earth's destruction, Susquehana sends waves of Drej to find and eradicate the technology whilst destroying all those who seek it, eventually making it a point to spitefully [[KillAllHumans obliterate every surviving human colony]] herself and drive out all those remaining into the deep edge of space to perish. Susquehana also slaughters several of her own kind, some of them upstart assassins--but others killed purely due to Susquehana's own paranoid fits. An AbsoluteXenophobe obsessed with establishing her cruel legacy among her species and sinking to depths unreached even by the previous Queens of the Drej, Susquehana perfectly embodies the reasons why the Drej are feared and reviled by every denizen of the galaxy.

*** [[SmugSnake Preed]], a slimy Akrennian [[TokenEvilTeammate barely tolerated]] even by the others onboard the Valkyrie, makes a name for himself as a backstabbing snake as his [[TheMole true colors]] unfold throughout the novel. Contacted by Susquehana with the promise of a monetary reward for finding the Titan, Preed and his compatriot Joseph Korso betray the other members of the Valkyrie to the Drej. Preed quickly establishes himself as the viler of the two between him and Korso, nearly shooting his way through an entire crowd of innocent colonists to get to Cale and Akima and displaying open, sadistic relish at the prospect of doing so. Once at the Titan itself, Preed turns his gun against Korso and reveals his intention to simply murder all of his former allies and sell out the Titan to the Drej, dooming any chance humanity has to repopulate--and then kicking back and watching as the Drej massacre everything in their path, comfortable with the death of almost all sapient life in the galaxy so long as he gets to stay alive.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: This was Creator/DonBluth's only film with a soundtrack filled with contemporary rock music, which, until then, he's opposed out of fear that it'd [[UnintentionalPeriodPiece date the movie]]. He wasn't wrong, as the soundtrack definitively pins the movie in the year 2000, although the orchestral score (around an hour of it) by Graeme Revell was released in 2014.

** [[spoiler:Said scene where New Earth is formed?]] That was animated [[RetroactiveRecognition by a certain]] Creator/BlueSkyStudios, who would later go on to create ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' after Fox Animation Studios was shut down.

* CaptainObviousReveal:
** The creepy, demonic-looking winged aliens on the planet Sesharrim didn't wipe out the Gaoul--they ''are'' the Gaoul. It's treated as a surprise reveal, but the set-up for it is pretty obvious: we're told beforehand that nobody knows what the Gaoul actually look like, the winged aliens are apparently among the only lifeforms on a mostly empty planet, and they never actually do anything to threaten our heroes before Korso jumps to conclusions and draws his blaster on them.
** [[spoiler:Preed is planning to betray the crew]]. In other words: the irreverent, disreputable, snarky, [[ItsAllAboutMe openly selfish]] alien who has no reason to care about the mission to save humanity ''isn't'' 100% trustworthy. Gee, who'da thunk?

** The film's frame rate stutters in video-game fashion whenever its 2D characters are put into motion in three-dimensional enviroments.

** The film's frame rate stutters in video-game fashion whenever its 2D characters are put into motion in three-dimensional enviroments..

* VindicatedByHistory: Even Don Bluth warmed up to it after his initial chagrin.

** The film revolves around a blonde haired man, whose deceased father is voiced by Creator/RonPerlman, trying to save the universe following the destruction of the Earth. Sounds strikingly similar to the first season of 'WesternAnimation/FinalSpace''.

* FanPreferredCouple: Many people who watch the movie, nevermind if they enjoyed it or not, seem to ship Korso and Preed together, while for others it becomes {{Squick}} because of Preed's appearance as an alien, though the characters' actions towards each other at the end of the film may make you wonder how the pairing caught on in the first place. It also helps the fact that Preed's voice actor Creator/NathanLane is openly gay in real life.

* AnimationAgeGhetto: A major contributor to the commercial failure of the movie. Some of the commercials try to avoid showing any traditional animation at all.
** They themselves were seemingly unsure of who their target age group was. They have cutesy cartoony characters like Gune that are clearly aimed for kids, but they also have visible bloodshed, {{Fanservice}} including brief nudity, and rather graphic onscreen deaths.
** This is arguably what happens when you get the [[Creator/DonBluth director]] of ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Anastasia}}'' to direct a script by [[Creator/JossWhedon the writer]] of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKlMOblghiQ The]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duE_pFsWWaA whole]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcnF1ioaBr4 soundtrack]], composed by Music/GraemeRevell. Even kind of counts in the ice field scene (where there is ''no'' music at all), as the absence of music makes the scene far more tense and effective than anything that could have been put in.

* ShockingSwerve: [[spoiler: Korso's betrayal.]] Several critics noted it comes out of nowhere midway through the film with seemingly no purpose than to have a more human antagonist than the Drej and contradicts much of his behavior beforehand.
