A sweet, charming and entertaining little cartoon from Denmark originally
titled Hjaelp, Je Er En Fisk it's true, I'm telling you! which has been
re-dubbed with English voices for UK distribution. Fly is a boy who goes
fishing, taking with him his little sister Stella and his podgy cousin Chuck. But they find a cave belonging to a loopy old professor (voiced by Terry Jones) and the kids end up drinking his secret potion for turning people into fish. But then some real fish drink the prof's fish-into-human antidote and assume human ambitions, led by the sinister shark-sidekick Joe a terrific turn from Alan Rickman. It flags a bit when Rickman's superbly wicked character isn't on, but it's a nice little holiday film nonetheless.  |
