I would highly recommend that children see this movie, at any age. It has a strong message about believing in one's self and one's abilities.
Don Knotts was a very gifted actor, and now that he has passed away, I think people should reflect on his career and his genius.
I've been trying to figure out for years if I actually saw this film as a kid in the 70's and didn't just dream it up. Absolutely no- one knew what I was talking about, including my Mother, and I just put it down to an amazingly vivid dream.
Then yesterday I visited my old house, where I saw the film, and tonight I'm looking randomly at an old comic site and up pops this image- I was stunned! But delighted.
Like the first reviewer this really stuck in my head for some reason, I guess it must be some tribute to a film to stick in the mind for decades after a single viewing. Something about it seemed very emotional even to a 5 year old.
So grab a copy for your kid and create some long term memories- me, I'm off to Amazon to buy a little piece of my childhood.
Don Knotts is a comedic genius and there are NONE like him in Hollywood today. It is sad to say that it appears Hollywood has forgotten what really entertains people, they seem to be focused upon what is sensational and appeals to the lowest form of human attention, meaning death, blood and violence and forgetting about the warmth and love of the past. For this reason this movie is a fantasy that will live forever.
Nobody but Don Knotts (doesn't that slightly knotted-up Knotts face slightly resemble a fishy to begin with? lol), could have pulled off a way-out live action/animation fantasy comedy like this. That high-pitched, nasally voice talent of his fits this role to a tee. Limpet sees (what he perceives to be) the carefree life of a fish, and wishes with all his might to be one of them. Presto, change-o, morpho! Welcome to the Atlantic a new bespectacled fish that has a unique ability that comes in handy for survival and in other ways you simply won't expect.
Odder still than all of that is the way the plucky little fish finds himself enmeshed in the naval battles of World War II. Although WW2 would seem like a stark place to set a fantasy comedy, this wacky little film manages to take all these elements and run with them for playful laughs. I'm not sure how I (or anybody else) would handle seeing a friend talking from the water as a fish, and the supporting cast are all perfect in the humorous "playing down" reactions they have to this bizarre situation.
Fun stuff.

- WissenswertesA limpet is a type of sea snail. A Limpet Mine is an explosive with a magnet so it can be attached to a metal ship. Since the mine sticks to the boat like a snail would, they are called limpet mines and usually attached by undersea divers or commandos .
- PatzerThe Nazi Admiral and naval staff are all wearing US Navy uniforms (complete with rank strips and stars signifying their status as US officers of the line) but with swastikas on their caps and Maltese crosses in place of neckties.

Henry Limpet: What if I told you I was once a human being?
Ladyfish: I don't care how terrible your past was, Limpet.
