Description
A major summer movie release starring Nick Offerman as Mr Fish alongside well known Aussie comedians Mel Buttle and Nazeem Hussain, plus Miranda Otto and Grant Denyer!
The Pout-Pout Fish is a glum, gloomy swimmer who doesn't quite fit in . . . but maybe he hasn't gone on the right adventure yet! Swim along with Mr. Fish as he meets new friends, like a sea dragon named Pip and a cuttlefish named Benji, and discovers new places, like Dolphin Cove and Crystal Caves.
Turns out being pouty isn't really his destiny.
It's much easier to find the courage to be yourself with friends by your side.
