Hilfe! Ich bin ein Fisch

Dänemark Deutschland Irland 1998-2000 Animationsfilm

Help! I′m a Fish

It is always the same: children simply won′t obey their parents. But this time the outcome is a real adventure: It all begins when three children, out on a fishing expedition, take refuge from sudden floods in a mysterious house belonging to Professor Confusius.

 

This well-meaning professor aims to save the world from over-population with his "fish-brew".
Little Stella drinks some of the mixture by mistake, and before anyone can do anything to help, she ends up as a starfish at the bottom of the deepest ocean. Her brother Fly then makes the professor turn him into a fish in order to rescue his little sister - and Chuck does the same, although he is more concerned with saving his own life.
Then there is nothing the children can do but set off to look for the professor′s antidote - they have exactly 48 hours to find it. Unfortunately, right now the antidote is in the hands of the power-mad fish Joe and a simple-minded shark. The trio will need all their imagination and will have to exploit their different talents if they are ever to escape from this wondrous but alien world.
