In 1996, a pilot trailer was completed, which has resurfaced on the Internet. 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 |last=Silver |date=22 December 2014 |title=A fish tale pilot trailer (1996) |url=https://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. Production then moved to Germany and Ireland for the final phases of animation, lighting, colour and production to maximise tax credits offered to foreign film projects in Germany and Ireland. The film's soundtrack contains numerous popular and original songs, such as "[[Help! 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.

The production took about four years to make, with the production work being split and moved around frequently.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |last=Blackwell |first=Adam |title=Help I'm A Fisher!: Mark Fisher's The Weird and The Eerie and Help!
