2.5/4

This animated tale of a grumpy finboy is as bland as blueberries, yet some wonder if sad Mr. Fish can inspire suicidal thoughts. Nah. Positive messaging swims will all these fishes.

“The Pout-Pout Fish” takes full advantage of the underwater population and has a clever-enough screenplay and a terrific vocal performance from Amy Sedaris as a trio of dolphins who aren’t as nice as they look.

The Pout-Pout Fish's simply defined characters inhabit a basic storyline, executed with equally basic computer animation.
