I'm a Fish (Danish: Hjælp, jeg er en fisk; also known as A Fish Tale) is a 2000 animated science fantasy musical film directed by Stefan Fjeldmark, Greg Manwaring, and Michael Hegner, and written by Fjeldmark, Karsten Kiilerich, John Stefan Olsen, and Tracy J.

Film Production in Denmark, Munich Animation in Germany, and Terraglyph Interactive Studios in Dublin, Ireland.

Fly is an impulsive 12-year-old boy living with his younger sister Stella and parents Lisa and Bill.

Caught in a high tide, they stumble across the boathouse of Professor MacKrill, an eccentric but kindly marine biologist.

Mistaking it for lemonade, Stella drinks the potion and turns into a starfish, which Fly unknowingly throws out the window into the sea.

The adults fear the worst until Professor MacKrill, having survived the storm, arrives and shows them the video of Stella's transformation.

The trio swims to Joe's domain, a sunken oil tanker, where Fly tries to steal the antidote.

The children decide their only hope to become human again is to duplicate the antidote's formula, gathering ingredients from around the ocean.

Sasha appears, so Chuck and MacKrill transform her into an actual horse, who Stella rides around joyfully.

On 4 October 1997, Stefan Fjeldmark (who is the film's writer), Michael Hegner and Greg Manwaring were hired and set to direct Help!

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, Peter Gantzler, Teryl Rothery, Paprika Steen, Pauline Newstone, Ghita Nørby, Richard Newman and Zlatko Buric joined the film.

Renee Schonfeld from Common Sense Media calls the movie an "entertaining, nicely animated story, with engaging heroes, cleverly designed musical sequences, and exciting action."

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."

He also noted that Rickman's "superbly wicked character isn't on, but it's a nice little holiday film nonetheless.

"[15] Lisa Nesselson of Variety Magazine reviewed that "classy, impressionistic animation of underwater inhabitants […] the drawing style switches to a more standard cartoon look."

She also noted that they prefer the "bloated, charmless overkill of a live-action 'Grinch' to the beautifully rendered and emotionally spot-on 'The Iron Giant,' 'Fish' comes as salutary entertainment for all but the very youngest viewers," and the "script is genuinely down to the wire as the trio matches wits with evil Joe.

"[17] Time Out calls it "lacks that extra dimension which would engage and entertain the adults in the audience as well as the kids.

"[18] Evening Standard calls it out "The animation is light years behind Disney or DreamWorks, but achieves a sort of nostalgic charm because of it […].
