==Plot==

Fly is an impulsive 12-year-old boy living with his younger sister Stella and parents Lisa and Bill. When their parents go out for the night, Fly and Stella are babysat by their aunt Anna and her son Chuck, a cautious, overweight genetics prodigy, and Fly and Stella's cousin. When Anna falls asleep, the children sneak out to go fishing. Caught in a high tide, they stumble across the boathouse of Professor MacKrill, an eccentric but kindly [[Marine biology|marine biologist]]. Reasoning that [[climate change]] will melt the polar icecaps to produce [[Sea level rise#Long-term sea level rise|marine transgression]] within the next century, MacKrill reveals he has developed a [[potion]] to transform humans into marine animals, along with an antidote to reverse the process.

Mistaking it for [[lemonade]], Stella drinks the potion and turns into a [[starfish]], which Fly unknowingly throws out the window into the sea. Chuck discovers the mistake after finding Stella's transformation caught on camera. The trio set out to find Stella, but their boat sinks in a storm. Fly and Chuck drink the potion, becoming a [[California flying fish]] and a [[Aurelia aurita|moon jellyfish]]. Bill and Lisa return home to find Anna frantic with worry. Noticing that Fly's fishing equipment is gone, Bill, Lisa, and Anna head to the beach to search for them but find only Fly's rollerblades. The adults fear the worst until Professor MacKrill, having survived the storm, arrives and shows them the video of Stella's transformation.

Karsten Kiilerich, John Stefan Olsen and Tracy J. Brown wrote the script for the film. Anders Mastrup and Russell Boland produced the film for release in 2000. On 9 March 1998, it was announced that Jeff Pace, Sebastian Jessen, Michelle Westerson, Pil Neja, [[Alessandro Juliani]], [[Aaron Paul]], Morten Kernn Nielsen, [[Terry Jones]], [[Søren Sætter-Lassen]], [[Alan Rickman]], Nis Bank-Mikkelsen, [[David Bateson]], [[Dick Kaysø]], [[Louise Fribo]], [[Ulf Pilgaard]], [[John Payne (voice actor)|John Payne]], [[Peter Gantzler]], [[Teryl Rothery]], [[Paprika Steen]], [[Pauline Newstone]], [[Ghita Nørby]], [[Richard Newman (actor)|Richard Newman]] and [[Zlatko Buric]] joined the film.

The environment and object designs, animation, plot, character names, voices, and designs are noticeably different from how they would eventually appear in the finished film.<ref>{{cite web | url last=Silver https://www.youtube.com/watch?v|date=ACMPuu7_B5E22 |December work = YouTube2014 | title = A fish tale pilot trailer (1996) | access-date url= 1 October 2017https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACMPuu7_B5E | url-status = live | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20180714215828/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ACMPuu7_B5E | archive-date = 14 July 2018 |access-date=1 October 2017 |work=YouTube}}</ref>{{better source needed|date=July 2020}}

Development and storyboarding of the film were completed in Denmark.

I'm a Fish (Little Yellow Fish)]]" performed by [[Little Trees (group)|Little Trees]], "Agloubablou" performed by [[Cartoons (band)|Cartoons]], "Ocean of Emotion" performed by [[Meja]], "People Lovin Me" performed by [[Lou Bega]], "Ocean Love/Ton Amour Ocean" performed by [[Anggun]], "Close Your Eyes" performed by [[Patricia Kaas]], "Interlude" performed by [[Terry Jones]], "Fishtastic" performed by Terry Jones, and "Intelligence" performed by [[Alan Rickman]]. One original song, "Ocean Love/Ton Amour Ocean", which serves as the film's opening theme, is performed by either [[Anggun]] or [[Eddi Reader]] depending on the release.

Renee Schonfeld from ''[[Common Sense Media]]'' describescalls the movie as an "animatedentertaining, seanicely adventureanimated story, with kidengaging heroes, musiccleverly designed musical sequences, and mildexciting scaresaction." She also praised voice actor Alan Rickman as a "funny, slitheringly evil performance made well […] tops a solid cast" and the animation as "old-fashioned and combines simply-drawn characters with beautiful underwater settings." She gives it a 3three stars out of 5five rating.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Schonfeld |first1=Renee |title=A Fish Tale (Help!
