Life is strange at the bottom of the ocean
You won’t believe the things you see
Stay ashore, don’t give in to notions
If you don’t wanna be like me....

Nothing says "intelligence" like turning into a human underwater. Go on, try it, kids.

Joe the pilot fish (and later human/fish abomination) from Help! I'm A Fish!.

Joe's such a trooper. He basically grows an entirely new skeleton and organ systems in several seconds and isn't even phased by it.

Reasons why you should see Help! I'm A Fish!, the Danish-German-Irish traditionally animated family film:
*Alan Rickman voices a villainous pilot fish named Joe and it's one of his best acting performances.
*Alan Rickman has a villain song in this movie where he sings about potions and intelligence.
*that pilot fish ODs on magic potion (basically fish potion turns you into a fish, fish antidote makes fish more human, and Joe decided he really needed to answer some science problems), turns into a hideous mockery of a human being, and then promptly drowns in one of the most grisly 2D animated deaths ever and it's awesome.
*that's not even getting into the really delightful nerdy scientist voiced by Terry Jones that sings a song called "Fishtastic".

One of the best movies I saw in late 2015 was this movie recommended by a European friend.
And I was super surprised that I hadn't heard of the movie until very recently because it quickly became my everything. It has everything you would ever want in a children's film, including catchy music, traumatic body horror and a scene where a small child nearly bleeds to death. If you were unfortunate to be my friend and have me on Skype, yes, I was quite obnoxious about fish movie. I still haven't stopped talking about it in casual conversation because HOLY COW THIS MOVIE.

What sucks is that this movie had one of the worst releases to the United States ever. This charming film has beautiful 2D animation so obviously that means that the DVD needs some bargain bin-level CGI models and a random name change: http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/5175T929S1L._SY300_.jpg
This is a disgrace and I own it. I spent more money on this DVD than my special edition of Tarzan.

Anyways, I had to draw this ugly bastard since DeviantART, normally the bastion of finding art of the most obscure cartoons, didn't have a single piece of fanart of Joe's gross human form. So I decided to fill that void.

I feel like "human" is such an overstatement in Joe's case, though...
