Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/26/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 01 hour: and 18 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The greatest 01 hour: and 18 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
