{{Creator/MondoTV}} has had its hand in developing animated mockbusters beforehand, (e.g. [[WesternAnimation/SimbaENatoUnRe Simba The King Lion]], WesternAnimation/SuperLittleFantaHeroes). Concerning The Legend of the Titanic, however, for whatever reason, (language barrier?) when the people in charge of the film's development got the idea to make it, [[PoesLaw they were, in fact, getting their idea from the 'Titey' SNL sketch, mistaking it for a real trailer]] and thus explains what they were (falsely) banking on as soon as they turned in an actual product.

There are shots of women crying and even a throwaway line to the "heroes who gave their lives for the rest", as though they began making a serious film about the sinking. Then, the producer said "hey, throw in a octopus" and the animators took him seriously.

**Furthermore, as WebVideo/MusicalHell put, there's the entire subplot about the living toys looking like a failed pitch for a production of Theatre/TheNutcracker, even down to having rats who want to conquer the world serving as villains for most of the movie.

--> '''fishbong''': "The grandfather witnessed such horrible things while the titanic sunk that it tormented him his entire life and eventually drove him mad. Now he tells the craziest stories about it to everyone who will listen. The grandmother is going along with it because at least now he seems much happier and won't wake up screaming 3 times a night."

"There's room for everyone!" That could mean that instead of 20, there is actually 46/48 lifeboats. The Titanic sunk but had not been eaten away by microbes. The actual Grand Staircase wasn't missing from the so-called "wreck". It sank in one piece instead of two. Ice doesn't float but stuck at the seafloor. Yellow Journalism. They pinpointed the sight of the actual "wreck" just three years after its sinking. There is a so-called "treasure" onboard. [[GoingDownWithTheShip Captain Edward J. Smith]] finished the voyage he intended for his retirement. Bruce Ismay got the Olympic-class competition that he wanted and won. Thomas Andrews lived and so Guggenheim and Stead. Just everyone that made Titanic famous lived.

* I like this theory, but again, why does everyone include "making them immortal" among the ''harms''? LivingForeverIsAwesome, dammit! Especially if you're going to spend eternity with your beloved. The rest of your points are valid, though.

[[WMG: Both these films are the result of the filmmakers trying to make their films look too bizarre to green-light in order to shoot down their company executive’s plans to make a Disney/Titanic mockbuster… [[SpringtimeForHitler and failing catastrophically.]]]]
Whether the filmmakers knew that it was a bad idea to adapt James Cameron’s romance film based on a real-life disaster or not, as they started to put their film together they deliberately tried to botch the films both before and during production under the hopes that they could get their executives to realize how much of a bad idea it really was to make them. This unfortunately only resulted in the executives taking it all seriously, as they probably mistook all the bizarreness for creative new ideas for a family movie, right until each film was finished and ready to be released into the outside world.

Added DiffLines:

[[WMG: Tentacolino was originally conceived as a totally separate film idea that had nothing to do with the Titanic.]]
What probably happened was that when the studios were pitched with the original concept, they figured that they could help sell the supposed film about Atlantis and its fantastic inhabitants if they remade it into an official sequel to their existing film about the Titanic by taking its main characters and making them star in the new film.
* The following criteria that supports this theory include: the general lack of continuity between the two films, the low amount of characters from the first film who do appear in this film, and the various amount of liberties that they take with the old characters, e.g. Smiles being able to talk with the humans and the two main mice sounding younger than they did before. Not to mention that nothing is ever brought up about their friends and relatives from the last film…

This explains why most of the characters don't seem to mind being stuck in Atlantis forever. This effect, like the elixir's other effects, is normally permanent. Some time after the events of ''Tentacolino'', Conners ingests an ImprobableAntidote by chance, allowing him to realize how bad his predicament really is. He tries to convince his friends to join him and escape, but they refuse as they are still under the effect of the elixir. Conner ends up escaping alone, eventually settling down and (thanks to the antidote) growing old in New York.

They believed that associating an anti-whaling message with such a ridiculous story (and insulting to the victims of the ''Titanic'' to boot) would actually turn people against anti-whaling groups in a sort of "this-is-what-anti-whalers-actually-believe" sort of way.

Seriously, he lets the mice go to the surface, nearly causing an old man to drown and seems to know that most of them will end up in an insane asylum for mentioning Atlantis. Then he strands our heroes on a "secret island" where they must live forever. Because they cannot die. And, he never shows his face. That is suspicious.
