Help! I'm a Fish
Director: Stefan Fjeldmark, Michael Hegner
Year: 2000
Stars: Alan Rickman, Terry Jones, Pil Neja, Mortten Kern Nielsen, Sebastian Jessen (voices)
This seemed like a reasonable thing to want to watch on a Saturday morning to me. It follows the story of a brother and sister and their cousin, who find a professor and then get turned into fish. They have to find the potion within 48 hours to make sure they can become human again.
Very definitely a children's film, it is nevertheless enjoyable and fun to watch. And if you look hard enough, you can even see some allegories for "evil fascism" in there. Nothing amazing, but a perfectly acceptable Saturday morning distraction. And I still love the title.

Watching films is one of my favourite hobbies. Often the films I watch aren't the biggest, or newest, films of the moment - but smaller independent movies, things on late night TV, or simply films I missed first time around. Not to say that the latest cinema releases don't get a look-in: my tastes are pretty diverse and I'll give almost any film a chance! This blog aims to reflect something of that diversity, reviewing as many of the films that I've watched since November 2008 as possible.

About Me
- Anna Lawson
- I live in Bristol with my husband Dan (who I married in July 2007), my son Joe (born 2012) and daughter Jess (born 2015). I work at UWE (the University of the West of England) in Bristol as a Research and Open Access Librarian. I'm orginally from Exeter, so moving back to Bristol is a bit like coming home - especially as I studied for my undergraduate degree here (also at UWE). I love travelling and movies, although I get to do a lot less of both since the birth of our children. Although we have still managed to fit in holidays to the Isles of Scilly, Chamonix and a summer in California since Joe was born.
