Movie: The Incredible Mr. Limpet, 1964, Rated GStars Your Parents May Know: Don Knots
Date Watched: Saturday, January 10, 2009
Recommendation: ★★★★★
Treats Served: Popcorn
Summary: A man who loves fish so much turns into a fish. He goes on to help the American Navy and the United States win World War II...as a fish.
Review: This movie, starring bug-eyed Don Knotts, is really incredible! Part of it is animated and the other part is with real people. It takes place in Brooklyn: Flatbush, Coney Island and under the sea. I recommend this movie because it is very funny and sort of stupid. Can you imagine a regular man who turns into a fish and can still speak to humans? Mr. Limpet looks like a nerdy person with big round glasses. When he's in animated fish form, he still has glasses and has big, shiny white teeth.
My favorite characer is Crusty, the crabby crab. Mr. Limpet tells Crusty he's originally from Flatbush, so the crab calls him "Flatbush" for the rest of the movie. When Mr. Limpet is a fish, he tells the Navy where the German submarines are so they can blow them up. He becomes a hero and gets married to another fish, named "Ladyfish."
Watch the trailer and you decide.
Patchy's Favorite Part: Can we watch it again?
