Overlong family film starring Don Knotts as the mild-mannered title character who wishes himself into a fish. An animated fish, to be exact. Then he goes on to have adventures fighting Nazi's in WW2. Live action parts are dullsville but the animated parts are enjoyable and endearing. Not sure why the subplot involving the wife and the best friend was included. It's like somewhere along the way they thought about making it something other than a family movie but wound up backing off of that a little. Still seems out of place. It's charming enough but don't expect much in the comedy department, despite Knotts' presence. It's much more of a "this makes me smile" type of movie than "this makes me laugh." See it for Ladyfish and Crusty the crab. They're the best parts.
