Delightful MGM cartoon directed by Rudolf Ising tells the tale of a goldfish inadvertently washed down the drain by a careless woman changing the water in his fishbowl.
The fanciful tale is beautifully animated with lush backgrounds that become especially innovative and attractive once the fish has his underwater adventures in the ocean. All sorts of dangers lurk everywhere as every kind of predator fish tries to ensnare the little goldfish with absolutely no luck.
The colors are dazzling, the array of fish is worthy of something Disney did with the underwater world in "Pinocchio", and the little goldfish himself is creatively animated and given the Disneyesque treatment wrapped up in spunk and sympathy. And that ending is something you'd never suspect unless you're a real movie buff.
Well worth watching, especially if you liked the early animated art of Disney that's captured in this non-Disney MGM cartoon.
