The New York Int'l Children's Film Festival is hosting a weekend of screenings of HELP! I'M A FISH. The two screenings will take place both at 11:00 am at IFC Center, located at 323 6th Ave @ West 3rd. The film will be shown in English and is recommended for ages 4-10.
HELP! I'M A FISH is the animated undersea adventure of three kids, Fly, his baby sister Stella, and cousin Chuck, who stumble upon the hidden cave-laboratory of mad professor MacKrill and drink a potion that transforms them into sea creatures. The chase is on when the antidote falls into the hands (or fins) of a lowly pilot fish, Joe, who drinks it and acquires the power of speech and a tyrannical desire for world control. Film features super-catchy Europop soundtrack, while the mix of computer- and cel-animation includes stunning hand-painted seascapes. With the voices of Monty Python's Terry Jones as MacKrill and Alan Rickman (DIE HARD, ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES) as the devilishly campy villain, Joe. The European hit was directed by the Academy Award-nominated director of WHEN LIFE DEPARTS.
