Movies that feel likeHelp! I'm a Fish (2000)

Three children are accidentally transformed into fish after consuming a potion made by an eccentric scientist. The kids end up in the sea, with one problem: they must find and drink the antidote within 48 hours, or forever remain as fish.

If you loved Help! I'm a Fish, the closest films we have are Stuart Little 2 (2002), The Muppet Movie (1979) and Sky High (2005). All three share Help! I'm a Fish's epic and witty feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Paper Planes (2014).
