Guest (Female): You are a pout-pout fish.

Guest (Male): I am a pout-pout fish.

Adam Holz: In the animated kids' movie *The Pout-Pout Fish*, now in theaters, actor Nick Offerman voices Mr. Fish. He's a pout-pout fish, so named because the shape of this fish species' mouth is a permanent pout. If Mr. Fish were happy, honestly, no one would know it, thanks to his perpetually sad-looking demeanor. No surprise, Mr. Fish has leaned into that glum perspective on the world. He swims through a solitary existence where everyone he meets tells him to cheer up.

But then he meets Pip. She's a little sea dragon seeking Mr. Fish for help to move her family because she's about to have 300 new brothers and sisters, and they need a bigger home. Mr. Fish doesn't much see how it's his problem, but when his derelict sunken ship home falls on the sea dragon's home, suddenly, it is his problem.

Guest (Female): Wah! I need a wish because Mr. Fish destroyed my home, and now my parents won't have any place for my 300 baby brothers and sisters to live. It's so awful, and everything will change!

Adam Holz: You want more undersea drama? We haven't even talked about the cuttlefish living in the abyss yet. Their home is slowly being blocked out from the warming sun by an aggressively growing kelp field. And you thought you had problems! All these plot lines and more come crashing into each other in *The Pout-Pout Fish*.

Along the way, we get nice messages about the importance of our relationships as well as sacrificing for others. Some light peril, winks at profanity, mild mysticism, and bathroom humor turn up too. So, we're giving *The Pout-Pout Fish* a four out of five for family-friendliness. You can read the full review at pluggedin.com/radio.
