ridiculous rating

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Another Silly Symphony where all you see is a bunch of animals, in this case sea creatures, frolicking around to background music. The sound and visual effects were cleverly don and the music was catchy and serene. Not much in a plot, though, but this cartoon could be a precursor to the "Under the Sea" sequence of "The Little Mermaid." Grade B-

There's not a lot to recommend this one. With a musical score and some percussion, we go to the bottom of the sea and watch a series of sea creatures cavort. There are mostly fish jigging around. We also get a creative lobster and an octopus. Like so many of these, we have coordinated dance sequences featuring the stars of the show. It is interesting but gets old quite quickly.

This is a short in the Silly Symphonies series done by Disney. There will be spoilers ahead:This is basically "Cute sea creatures dancing and playing around under the sea". You see fish, starfish, lobsters among other critters dancing and playing music beneath the waves. The best of these scenes is a lobster playing a harp.There are a couple of attempts to introduce drama with an octopus trying to catch cute little fish and it might have been a better short if there'd been more of this and less frolicking.This is a very nice short visually and the animation is very good, but it's disjointed and has no real point. This was often the case with early Silly Symphonies shorts, but I get a feeling of "been there, done that" with this one and the gags aren't quite capable of carrying the short in the total absence of any real story.This short is available on the Disney Treasures More Silly Symphonies DVD set and the set is worth getting.

'Frolicking Fish (1930)' certainly isn't 'Finding Nemo (2003),' but it's likely that Pixar received at least some inspiration from this early Silly Symphony. When it came to Disney's basic musical cartoons, which sacrificed story for anthropomorphised movement, few directors were more adept than director Burt Gillett, whose finest effort is 'Flowers and Trees (1932).' Here, he takes us beneath the ocean, where life is great. Fish and crustaceans coexist harmoniously, dancing and playing musical instruments; that is, until the evil black octopus arrives to spoil everybody's fun – never trust a mollusc! The Disney animators were fond, where exotic creatures were concerned, of zooming in on their gaping mouths, perhaps to create the sensation that the cinema audience is being swallowed up by those massive jaws. Here, it happens with a fish; in ' Hell's Bells (1929)' it was a demon of some sort, and a lion in 'Cannibal Capers (1930).' This was Disney exploring the unique artistic possibilities afforded by the animation medium, since such shots would have been virtually impossible to replicate in live-action. The cartoon finds some semblance of narrative in its final minute, when the octopus tries to hunt down and eat a terrified fish, which wriggles out from between the octopus' big white teeth (no horny beak on this one) and drops a hefty-looking ship anchor onto his attacker. It's a bloody – or that should be inky – end to one of the most sinister Silly Symphony villains.
