There are many issues the other reviewers mentioned, from the animation (many characters are ugly and even scary - I might have nightmares about some of the characters that are supposed to be nice), bad writing, poor acting and stolen themes from other movies. But the worst part- and the thing that made me turn it off, is the disgusting sexist subtext. A beautiful helpless girl fish is "bullied" by a shark that apparently wants to sexually assault her and kisses her without her consent. She is of course defended by the boy fish (because she can't really stand up for herself, of course), but when it's clear that the boy fish is outmatched, she goes to the shark and offers to "do anything" for him if he will leave the boy fish alone. Are you kidding me? Did someone actually think this content was appropriate for a child's movie? It's really sick and it does not teach anything good. Please don't let your kids watch this. It's gross and inappropriate.
