THREE youngsters scale the depths when a dotty
scientist's magic potion transforms a little girl into a starfish in a charming
feature-length cartoon. Her brother and his nerdy friend swallow suit and
set out to save the little lass living underwater forever.
The animation is excellent, Alan Rickman adds silky menace camping it up as the voice of the fishy villain and Terry Jones does an amusing Pythonesque turn as the nutty professor. Uncynical youngsters of most ages should enjoy themselves. Parents should find the shaggy fish story funny and finny - but they wouldd be well advised to plug their ears when the redundant songs turn up. VERDICT: 6/10  |
