Line 4:
''What if you were turned into a fish?''
This is the plight of Fly, his sister Stella, and their cousin Chuck, after stumbling across [[Absent
Although things seem hopeless, the professor ''did'' make an antidote, but as luck would have it, it was tossed into the ocean when the boat capsized, and is now in the hands of Joe - a megalomaniac pilot fish, who has plans to rule the fish.
Line 13:
=== ''[[Help I'm a Fish]]'' provides examples of: ===
* [[Absent
* [[Adult Fear]]: Imagine waking up, finding a darkened house with the kids you were looking after ''gone''...
* [[Animal Talk]]: Averted. Even though Fly, Chuck, and Stella have been turned into fish, they can't speak with others except ones that have been exposed to the antidote.
Line 25:
* [[Do Not Touch the Funnel Cloud]]: An ''underwater'' version, but nonetheless seems to work under the same principles.
* {{spoiler|[[Disney Death]]}}: {{spoiler|1=MacKrill nearly drowns during the storm, but the main characters still think he ''did''.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Family
* [[Family
* [[Foreshadowing]]: When Chuck is washed into Mac Krill's lab, he has a jellyfish stuck on his head, which is what he will turn into later. Similarly, while in the lab, Fly comes across a stuffed fish labeled "California ''Fly''fish", which looks exactly like the one he will turn into.
* [[Green Aesop]]: The professor's whole reason for creating the fish potion - due to a danger presented by melting icecaps. It's not actually as big of a motivator as you might think, though.
Line 32:
* [[Happily Married]]: Fly is a serious oddity in the world of children's animation--not only does he still have both his parents, but they genuinely love each other! Who'da thunk?
* [[Heroes Gone Fishing]]: Literal variation; the whole plot springs up from a fishing trip.
* [[Hey
** The Father is [[Maison Ikkoku|Shun Mitaka]], The Mother is [[Project a Ko|A-Ko]], and the Aunt is [[Dragonball Z|Freiza]].
** In the Japanese version, Chuck is [[Neon Genesis Evangelion|Rei Ayanami.]] And [[The Slayers|Lina Inverse.]] And pretty much every major female anime character you can think of, up to and including the [[Ranma One Half|other one half of Ranma.]]
Line 51:
* [[Oh Crap]]: Joe gets a minor one {{spoiler|right before he kicks the bucket.}}
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Fly''': "Can a human breathe underwater?"}}}}
* [[Poor
* [[Scenery Porn]]: The underwater landscape.
* [[Screw Learning I Have Phlebotinum]]
