Fishes (2003) is this quirky animated piece that plays with themes of intoxication and the absurdity of life under the sea. It’s not your standard wildlife documentary; instead, it dives deep into the bizarre and surreal. The animation is vibrant yet a bit off-kilter, which blends remarkably well with the offbeat narrative of fish having one wild party while, well, a famous liner meets its end. The pacing feels a bit languid at times, almost mimicking the slow sinking of the ship, but it pairs nicely with the whimsical dialogue and interactions. What really stands out is the way it captures this strange juxtaposition of festivity against tragedy—definitely a distinctive angle in the realm of animated films.
