The Legend of 11M

The Legend of 11M is a 2022 Italian "animated" film. It is loosely based on the 2004 Madrid train bombings.

Plot
In 2004, Matías, a railfan from Barcelona, boards one of the trains in the Cercanías station after filming it, then falls in love with a passenger named Clara. Complete with goofy talking animals and a dog and cat duo that have a Eurodance musical number at some point!

User response
Hanjax70 - This film is an example of Artistic License History gone wrong. It is a shameful, tasteless, watered-down joke of a film. It takes one of the worst attacks in Europe and makes it look like a joke. The animation is on par with The Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy To The Rescue. Honestly, I'm surprised it managed to get to its final resting place in the DVD bargain bin just 10 days after its release! We all knew it would get there in the end, but not that fast! The Eurodance dog and cat's musical number is so bad it's good, but it's much more ridiculous than the rapping dog's musical number from Titanic: The Legend Goes On ever will be. It also got how the trains were blown up wrong! It claims to have happened from an "accident". The explosions in the real 11M incident were no accident! Titanic: The Legend Goes On was crap, but this film, along with the other two Italian animated Titanic films, don't even try to be more than that! - 1/10.
