6/10
Repetitive in parts and would've been better in English

I watched the Portuguese/Brazilian dub of this on YouTube since I couldn't find the full-length English version, so I had to watch it on mute whilst trying to guess what the characters were saying from what I remembered in the trailer, the Nostalgia Critic review and the standalone clips of the songs featured on YouTube.

This film has its fair share of highs and lows, starting with the lows. The animation quality is inconsistent. While it is at a normal pace most of the time, it was slow in some parts (especially the kissing scenes between Angelica and William) and fast/jittery/shaky in others (for example, the ugly stepsisters being afraid of Maxie the mouse). Also certain shots were repeated - this was particularly noticeable at the beginning, during the songs and during the sinking. The lip-sync is sometimes out of place such as the scene where Molly sings 'Holding Me.' The most historically inaccurate part of this film is undoubtedly the rapping dog because, as I already mentioned in my review on the Nostalgia Critic, rap music didn't exist at the time of the Titanic's sinking.

The film's highs include the decent dialogue (in English) and the fact that the iceberg is already lying in the Titanic's path rather than having been thrown by a giant octopus in the other version (which, in my opinion, is worse than this one).

Overall, this take on the Titanic story is not quite as good as the James Cameron version, but it is slightly more historically accurate than 'Legend of the Titanic.' 5/10 (6/10 had I seen the whole thing in English).
