Help! I'm a Fish is a modest, well-drawn animated comedy about the
subterranean adventures of a cocky teenager, his little sister and their wimpish
intellectual cousin, who are transformed respectively into a small shark, a baby
starfish and a jelly fish after drinking a mad professor's potion.
I think I prefer it to the sentimental Disney version of Hans Andersen's The Little
Mermaid, though unless you read the credits you'd never know that this film
was made in Andersen's native country. The soundtrack 'voice talents', except
for Alan Rickman as a villainous pilot fish and Terry Jones as the eccentric
ichthyologist Professor Mac Krill (geddit?), are all American, and 'Check it out,
we're all fish, isn't that cool?' is a fairly typical line.
