Emilija D 08/13/2024 The film that marked my childhood! I can only say the best about everything, he deserved an Oscar! I recommend it to children of all ages. See more 08/01/2022 The greatest 01 hour: and 18 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 07/04/2021 The first act is very good and artistically engaging. This movie does a wonderful job at showing off the beautiful atmosphere of oceanic life through the animation. The third act is probably as good if you ignore the terrible fake-out death. The second act is unfunny, boring and just completely shifts in tone for some reason. You won't be missing that much but go ahaid if you really want to see it, at least it's not a bad movie See more 08/14/2020 Amazing story about 3 kids trapped as fish. Sounds weird and kinda boring but it's far from that! Voiced by amazing actors and beautifully animated. I grew up on this movie and rewatching it was a blast. Love able characters and a great villain. All topped off with amazing humor. See more 05/23/2020 No es la mejor película animada de Dinamarca; sin embargo, sigue siendo un buen entretenimiento para niños. See more 02/18/2020 A movie that I have fond nostalgic memories of watching on television when I was younger (and certainly not a cheap computer-animated Finding Nemo/Shark Tale mockbuster like the DVD cover might have you believe), Help! I'm a Fish isn't groundbreaking and there are certainly far better underwater adventures out there, animated or otherwise, but for the most part, it is a decent Don Bluth-esque movie with good voice acting, lovely animation, knowing when to be dark and when to be lighthearted and a song that will get stuck in your head, trust me. The more I think about it, the more absurd the premise sounds but I can't say I regard the movie as especially cringeworthy. It's a good recommendation for animation fans. See more Read all reviews
