This animated tale of a grumpy finboy is as bland as blueberries, yet some wonder if sad Mr. Fish can inspire suicidal thoughts. Nah. Positive messaging swims will all these fishes.

“The Pout-Pout Fish” takes full advantage of the underwater population and has a clever-enough screenplay and a terrific vocal performance from Amy Sedaris as a trio of dolphins who aren’t as nice as they look.

While the film has many great characters and lessons, when it diverts focus from the main pair, it tends to bring momentum to a screeching halt. If you can hang in there, it will be rewarding but drink coffee.

Nick Offerman continues to be one of the best. The story is mix and match of all the previously pout pout fish books. The story was simple abd sweet. The animation looked great!

Good children’s movie with good adult connections! The movie is nothing like the book which is disappointing but was still good.

Very cute family movie, with a sweet heartfelt message. The only thing I did not like was the jokes did not land they attempted to put humor, but the humor wasn’t funny. I wish they had better writers in regards to the jokes they were trying to place into the movie. It felt like forced jokes and it just wasn’t funny. I loved the movie otherwise and just wish the humor and the jokes landed better.
