Celebrating the worst (and occasionally the best) musicals on film
Located on a small expansion shelf about midway between the Third and Fourth Circles, Musical Hell is presided over by Diva, a minor demon charged with passing judgement on the worst musicals ever committed to film. (She still hasn't figured out if this is their punishment or hers.) Take a seat on the bench and have your earplugs ready, because court is now in session.

Musical Hell Review: Titanic The Legend Goes On
The world's most famous shipwreck celebrates its centennial this month, so here's another disaster: the 2001 Italian animated mockbuster "Titanic: The Legend Goes On." WARNING: May contain rapping dogs.
This is actually the EDITED version. There's an uncut version (reviewed by others on YouTube) that has entirely different music. The dog's rap is a little less random and a little more plot-specific, but it's still, you know, a RAP. In 1912. The singer's ballad is different, but it's still a 90s style pop ballad. The mariachi song is a little better, being an authentic one, in Spanish even. And there's a little more explanation for certain plot points.
But it also re-uses dialogue clips even MORE to absolutely no purpose!
