Ever wonder what would happen if the imaginary worlds of Bedknobs and Broomsticks and SpongeBob SquarePants were to collide? If so, chances are good you've yet to discover The Incredible Mr. Limpet. Starring the irrepressible Don Knotts, this 1964 family feature combines live (land) action and animated (undersea) sequences with delightful results. During World War II, Knotts is mild-mannered, spectacle-sporting bookkeeper Henry Limpet. More than anything--he's a fish fan and a patriot. When the navy rejects him due to poor eyesight, he falls into a funk from which not even his beloved aquarium or loving--if bossy--wife can rescue him. So he makes a wish... to become a fish. Next thing he knows--he is! With a little help from a hermit crab named Crusty and the lovely Ladyfish, it's as a talking, bespectacled fish that Limpet proves himself the war hero he always knew he was meant to be. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

- A Don Knotts Family Favorite
Mr. Limpet takes me back...it was one of my favorite movies as a child. I remember watching it whenever it was on.We have this movie, and my daughter likes it, but only the animated parts.She can't understand the submarine, or the war...thankfully...but enjoys seeing a fish who wears glasses.Her other all time favorite Don Knotts film is "THE GHOST AND MR. CHICKEN." This is pure family fun, nothing you wouldn't feel comfortable having your children see.

- Silly, But Moving
I am not really a Don Knotts' fan, not being a viewer of him playing Barney Fife, but I did enjoy him in Herbie Goes to Monte Carlo. When The Incredible Mr. Limpet came on television some years ago, I do not recall what made me want to watch it, but I did, and enjoyed it very much.

I bought this as a family move based on all the high reviews.We sat down to watch it last night as a family and it seemed to take a long time for the movie to go anywhere.My daughters we bored and running off after 10 minutes because it wasn't keeping their attention.If you don't already know, Don Knotts' character turns into a fish after wishing he was one and then later on helps the US Navy find U boats.The animation is pretty boring, but since it was made in the 60's, I should have expected ...
