Titan AE is at 61% on RT, but I fucking love it.
For me, Titan AE was the first Mandela effect. I clearly remember teaser trailers years before its release with a totally different art style. It looked like really good anime. Then once it dropped it was this weird amalgamation of Disney's Pocahontas and Fox The Simpsons. Still feels like a fever dream.
As I understand it, a couple hundred staff were laid off at the beginning of its final year of production. So a lot of the movie got outsourced instead of made by the people who started the film and did the trailers. Also, more than half the budget was spent before it went into full production. This may partially account for that bizarre discrepancy we had as kids looking at the trailer then seeing the full film.
That's not the mandala effect of Titan AE. The Mandela effect from that movie is that we all remember that Creed song being in the film but it wasn't.
Yep. That was such a good movie. I think that was my point of transition from happy all the time kids movies to serious stuff. I need to watch it again.
Really? That's a classic.
Aw man, I rewatched that for the first time in a long time a while ago and it did not hold up nearly as well as I was hoping. I was absolutely crushed.
