The Magic Voyage (originally Die Abenteuer von Pico und Columbus or "The Adventures of Pico and Columbus") is a 1992 animated feature from Germany that is... loosely based off the voyages of Christopher Columbus. You know, the sailor who wanted to prove the world was round — not find an easier trade route from Europe to Asia, which is surely a far harder concept for children to grasp.Columbus also wished to help his best friend, a talking woodworm* yes, woodworms are bugs, not worms, rescue his girlfriend. His girlfriend is a Fairy Princess from a lushly-vegetated Magical Land on the moon, and she was stolen away by an evil swarm of bugs. The Swarm brought her to the new world, where Columbus and the woodworm, aided by a talking beaver named Bob and two rats, finally find her held captive in an Aztec-looking pyramid full of gold and honey. Fervently searching for gold, Columbus accidentally crushes the Swarm, and the native people celebrate his ridding their home of the terrible evil by giving him the pyramid's golden idol (which is, as a native reveals beyond Columbus' earshot, only plated). Columbus and his bug friend sail back home with visions of big cities and shopping malls dancing in their heads.Surely, you remember all of this from your grade-school history lessons?Basically, this is the movie that makes Titanic: The Legend Goes On look perfectly reasonable in comparison. | |

Voluntary Shapeshifting: The Swarm due to being a shifting swarm, alters his form between scenes, going from a winged wizard, a spiky tower with two eyes that generates a wide mouth, a snake, a spider, a bee, a demon, a sword, a bull, and finally, a dragon. | |

Anachronism Stew | |
| The Magic Voyage / int_259d5879 | comment |
Anachronism Stew: Particularly when Columbus is in the jungle - "I need to start going to the gym!" Or (hearing a tribal beat) "That's going to hit over big someday." Another example is when Pico fights the rats he says "I learned this move from watching Woody Woodpecker cartoons." Columbus's dream sequence has him pulling out a telescope, which would not be invented for over a century. Columbus also uses a concertina to play a song, which would not take until 1829 to be invented. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| The Magic Voyage / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: Ritso (the shortest rat) disappears during the third act, with his two friends only offhandedly mentioning that the Swarm Lord’s attack “knocked him out cold”. He’s never seen again, not even during the group shot at the very end when Columbus and Pico sail back to Europe, implying that he was in fact killed and his demise got Bowdlerized. | |

Gold Fever: Columbus descends outright into this during the film's third act, metamorphosing from a relatively-subdued explorer motivated chiefly by both a desire to verify the globe's rotundity and to aid Pico's rescue of Marilyn into a comically-acquisitive Large Ham blundering through the American rainforest in his underwear in fervent search of the metal, rendering his contributions to the film's climax mostly unintentional. | |

Smug Snake: The Swarm Lord. As big and imposing as he appears, he immediately assumes that Pico is dead after his attack on the ship, being flabbergasted at his survivor and the attack on his castle causes him to undergo a Villainous Breakdown. Also, the chancellor comes off as this, even though he only makes one appearance. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| The Magic Voyage / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: If the page description hasn't tipped you off, this film resembles Columbus' historic voyage as much as The Road to El Dorado resembles Hernan Cortez's campaign to the new world. Of course, there was no hive mind of insects terrorizing the Native Americans for Columbus et al. to save, and their real relationship was far more strained. In the film, Pico tells Columbus the world is round, and he sets out on his voyage to prove this. In reality, no one really thought the Earth was flat at this point. The Greeks figured it out ages ago. The journey to India was to establish a trade route. Columbus incorrectly thought the Earth was significantly smaller than it was, which was what he was going to prove with the voyage. Columbus is depicted as landing in what is now modern day New York, something that in real life wasn't discovered by Europeans for another 32 years, almost two decades after his death. The real Columbus never even made it to the North American mainland, let alone anywhere near New York. The first landing was in the Bahamas. | |

Perpetually Protean: The Swarm Lord.

Animation Bump | |
| The Magic Voyage / int_7ea2a915 | comment |
Animation Bump: In several spots, going from Limited Animation to rather fluid animation and visa versa during the same scene. The climax within the Swarm's pyramid is consistently animated in a noticeably more fluid and three-dimensional style than much of the film's remainder, with conspicuously sharper comic timing and more consistent facial structures on characters such as Columbus and Bob the Beaver (although the former's is more visible due to his corresponding descent into gold-fuelled raving). Given the visual similarities of these scenes to several Amblimation films of the period, they may be attributable to notable animator Phil Nibbelink. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: Literal example. What happened to the third rat? Following the Swarm's assault on Columbus' ship at the end of the film's second act, he vanishes and his friends only Hand Wave it as him having been "knocked out". But he's never seen again, implying that he died. Columbus leaves Spain with three ships but arrives in the New World with just one. Halfway through the movie, a strange-looking fourth crew member suddenly appears, then disappears just as quickly. Then at the end of the movie, he appears again, and then disappears again. Meaning it was subverted twice. The obviously evil-looking advisor to the King looks like he will be a villain, but after Columbus sets sail we never see him again.

Literal Bookworm: Pico is a woodworm, but he also functions as this. As much as he eats wood, he also eats books, hence his surprising knowledgeability. He meets Christopher Columbus when the latter wants to propose that the world is a cube rather than flat, at which point Pico jumps in to correct him that the world is an orb. It is the start of a beautiful friendship between the two, at least allegedly. | |

Villainous Breakdown: Over the course of the finale, the Swarm Lord gets more and more frustrated as the heroes destroy his castle and Marilyn being rescued. This is visually conveyed as the previously blank-eyed and reserved design gradually shows expressions of doubt and anger before gaining visible pupils and at one point, his yellow eyes turn red. | |

| The Magic Voyage / int_9afa05c7 | comment |
Family-Unfriendly Death: Only just subverted for Marilyn. After falling into the river, she drowns on-screen and in surprisingly graphic detail; and after her body is found by Pico, she is only revived thanks to The Power of the Sun. | |

Too Dumb to Live: Columbus can be this sometimes. Allowing a woodworm aboard a ship made of wood. Sticking his hand into fire. Or thinking that singing about sailors being eaten by a sea serpent would boost the morale of his crew. | |

Anti-Hero: All over the place, though it's strictly Played for Laughs. Colombus, while a very nice person, is motivated by lust and greed, the sea gull wants to eat Pico, and the rats are only interested in the cheese and only change their mind at the last second (the brown one at least). | |

Wingding Eyes: Columbus in the last act of the movie. What the animators were going for, there is no way of knowing, but suddenly his obsession with gold seems to be correlated with deranged swirling eyeballs. | |

The Napoleon | |
| The Magic Voyage / int_d080f396 | comment |
The Napoleon: Ferdinand is drawn to be one of the shortest characters in the movie and he has a violent temper. For the first part of the movie, he’s conveyed as being unpleasant towards any man that comes to him with a revolutionary idea and either throws them out or forces them to demonstrate their invention even if he’s told it’s not ready yet. He also seems to be unusually resentful towards Columbus and his hatred of Columbus seems to cement when Isabella flirts with Columbus. | |

Depending on the Artist | |
| The Magic Voyage / int_d83f3588 | comment |
Depending on the Artist: Animation errors are a relatively frequent occurrence throughout the film, presumably due to fluctuations in budget and animator ability. The majority of the scenes set within Ferdinand and Isabella's palace in particular suffer from inconsistent character construction unfortunately accentuated further by imprecise timing. | |

Artistic License – Geography: Possibly in many ways, but lampshaded in the case of Bob the Beaver: "What's a beaver like you doing on a tropical island?" In a strange double subversion, beavers were native to where New York City is today, but the film thinks that New York City is a tropical island! | |
