What the eponymous young fish lacks in size it makes up for with an enormous imagination. Constantly late for school, his excuses to teacher "Miss Skate" become more creatively outlandish by the day. There's pirate treasure, a shark attack, a giant squid - even some fisherman's nets! Thing is, though, all his schoolfriends think he's just "Pinnochio" with fins. Astonishingly, one of these tall stories is actually true and leaves him a way from home, lost, and needing the most unconventional trail of literal breadcrumbs if he is to find his way back to his school and best friend "Johnny Dory". The style of animation reminded me quite a bit of the "Gruffalo" - indeed I'm sure I saw a scaly version of that very beastie at some point here. The story is a characterful one along the lines of boy who cried wolf, it's engagingly told and uses different styles to help us distinguish between his real life and his fantasies. It's a tale with a moral, sure, but that's delivered quite charmingly and it shows that you don't need Disney budgets to tell an enjoyable to watch story of underwater adventures that teaches us about all kinds of fish, too!

    Roughly chronological, from 3/96 to 11/96, with a coda in spring of 1997: inside compounds of Aum Shinrikyo, a Buddhist sect led by Shoko Asahara. (Members confessed to a murderous sarin attack in the Tokyo subway in 1995.) We see what they eat, where they sleep, and how they respond to media scrutiny, on-going trials, the shrinking of their fortunes, and the criticism of society. Central focus is placed on Hiroshi Araki, a young man who finds himself elevated to chief spokesman for Aum after its leaders are arrested. Araki faces extreme hostility from the Japanese public, who find it hard to believe that most followers of the cult had no idea of the attacks and even harder to understand why these followers remain devoted to the religion, if not the violence.
