HELP! I'M A FISH.
BEST OF NY INT’L CHILDREN’S FILM FESTIVAL
Animation: Fjeldmark/Hegner
Genre: Children
Synopsis: From the Academy Award nominated director of When Life Departs comes the animated undersea adventure of three kids, Fly, his baby sister Stella, and cousin Chuck, who stumble upon the hidden cave-laboratory of mad professor MacKrill and drink a potion that transforms them into sea creatures. The chase is on when the antidote falls into the hands (or fins!) of lowly pilot fish, Joe, who drinks it and acquires the power of speech and a tyrannical desire for world control. The action is propelled by a super-catchy Europop soundtrack and the mix of computer and cel animation includes stunning hand-painted underwater backgrounds. Featuring the voices of Monty Python’s Terry Jones as MacKrill and Alan Rickman as the devilishly campy villain, Joe.
