The Legend of the Titanic (Spanish: La leyenda del Titanic, Italian: La leggenda del Titanic) is a 1999 internationally co-produced animated fantasy film directed by Orlando Corradi and Kim J. Ok. The film is based on the sinking of the RMS Titanic, incorporating fantasy elements such as anthropomorphic animals and magical spells. In an attempt to advertise the story as more child-friendly, the film's writers decided to change the historical account so that no character (including the captain, crew, and passengers) would die, a decision that was met with controversy.
The Legend of the Titanic was followed by a 2004 sequel titled Tentacolino and a 2011 television series, Fantasy Island (not to be confused with the popular 1977–1984 fantasy drama of the same name).
