Featured review
This story is set at the coastline of Italy. The concept is, if these fish go onto land they transition from their fish form into what appears to be a human form. So a young fish, tired of the rules of his parents, goes on land and meets a similar young fish, but both of them take the forms of young boys.
There are a number of interesting elements, most surrounding a yearly race, and the two young fish converts befriended a young red-haired girl.
The story gets enough complex that it is hard to describe in a few words, but the writing and animation teams did a superb job of pulling it all together and keeping it interesting.
My wife and I watched it at home, on DVD from our public library, and we laughter often. In total it is just a super entertaining animated feature.
