A Fish Tale (2000)

Fishtastic? I'm not convinced.
2 April 2006
Not sure I would go so far as to say this film is 'fishtastic'. The only highlight for me was Terry Jones providing the voice for Professor MacKrill, and the interview with him in the DVD extras.

The rest of the film, I thought, was unremarkable - of course, there are 'cute' moments as there are in any children's films (usually in the shape of Sasha the seahorse and Stella the Starfish), and also occasionally funny moments. However, the 'baddies' were unconvincing (they just weren't mean enough - the guard crab was about as menacing as a sea slug.) and the colours were washed out.

It just seemed to me that this film was cheap (and poor) attempt at a Disney imitation.

I would have to say that the only part of this film that is worth watching more than once is the song 'Fishtastic, but true' as it is incredibly catchy - I found myself humming it for the rest of the day. The rest of the film really isn't up to much.
