All right, so it isn't Roger Rabbit. We have to remember that this movie was made in 1964. That's over thirty-five years ago! That they were able to create such a mixture of life action and animation at that time is amazing.
This movie, with the exception of the Wizard of Oz, was my childhood favorite. Don Knotts was such a good actor. I loved his work as Barney Fife, and to see him transformed into an animated fish was really neat.
For years, I wanted to get this movie on video, but, for the longest time, was unable to find it. I am very happy that it has been shown on television several times in recent years.
It's a classic.
