    What the….

    Seriously, what was the motivation behind the creation to this song?

    The movie “Help! I’m a Fish” is the motivation behind this song. It’s basically about these 3 kids that sneak out to the beach and come across a (kind hearted) mad scientist that made a potion to turn a person into a fish. The little girl is turned into a fish and inadvertently released into the ocean. Now the other kids need to become fish and find her within 48 hours or risk being stuck as a fish forever.

    Actually a really good movie and it is surprisingly dark.

    Too bad though that only one of the kids is turned a real fish, as starfish and jellyfish, even though they have “fish” in their name, aren’t fishes at all.

    Still, a nice movie with a darker tone ( It wasn’t made in the US, so no hypocritical censorship or creation break). The villain actually die fully on screen, which is rare in a cartoon.

    The clips for the movie can be found there http://www.shadowlordinc.com/show.tfClips?Show.Id=1126
    It’s in French though, as I only managed to get it on TV here so far.

    To be fair, there’s no actual lawful censorship of movies released here in the US beyond obscenity laws (which have almost never seen a conviction), it’s just that darker films, especially children’s films, tend to not do as well commercially, so they are either not released or only released on a small scale.

    Unfortunately, what would most likely hold this film back from a large scale US release is less its content and more the fact that it’s, effectively, a foreign film. Redubbing it is expensive, and film distributors are afraid to make people read in a film.

    Actually… no, it DID get released in the US. It just horribly because it’s box art made it look like a terrible knock off of Finding Nemo.

    Amazon link if you want to buy the English Version:

    IT HAS ALAN RICKMAN IN IT! When you get the guy that did Snape and the Judge from Sweeny Todd to play a villainous fish, serious stuff starts to go down.

    I’m a darkly-coloured fish in an oi-il-sli-ick. Won’t BP come clean me?
