I'm seeing a lot of people asking where they can find this film. I personally managed to get it from the Steam Store, but I'm not sure if that'll be the same for everyone worldwide.

Thank steve gonna try to watch this while eating sushi
@@LongNguyen-sv1tz UR FIRST
To padak you are what you eat has never been more fitting
@@Adolfjeff77 so if i eat sushi then i will become a sushi? Sweet
It’s also on amazon prime. I saw it via Roku
I guess Padak didn’t sign up for the Main Character Protection Program.
rookie mistake
They don't make Plot Armor that can fit a mackerel.
Or MCPP for short
I hate all of you xD

I think the humans are MEANT to look weird as the movie is from the fishes view and such, and in their eyes humans are like monsters for killing and capturing them.
you’re mom looks weird
@@darkythecrazyninja5228 I know, because she's a mom
no why you trying to make it out to be deeper then just the animation shut up ya sound like you're trying too hard to be a movie critic
Yeah but also the CGI was ugly Lmaoo two things can be true at the same time 🤷🏾♂️
"It hits hard" - knocks out a fish
"It cuts deep" - through the fish flesh
"and it offers something fresh" - literally
"And is definitely something you need to see/sea" - shows the sea
" ... Those catchphrases? I don't think they mean what you think they mean."
How do fishes live?
Google: fishes have gills to breathe and fins to swim.
Bing:
True.
I don't get the joke, but its very funny
*fish****
Chaser Johnson I tried having the fishes vs fish argument with my father (who owned a pet store at the time) when I was 7. Both are technically correct terms.
they dont
The reason for Padak's attack on the clownfish is cause she's a mackeral, much of their natural diet consists of smaller fish and plankton. Her reason for rejecting the dead fish was purely out of defiance to the flounder, cause eating the food he provides would ultimately make her as dependant on him as the others.
I’m surprised that the employee/ manager wasn’t shocked to find a mackerel in the aquarium
So this film is scientifically correct?
Also everyone keeps forgetting that the the aquarium fish were racist
@@davedave8986 yeah, they kinda had it coming
I wish all the clownfish died but almost all is still good enough
The flatfish at the beginning desperately repeating "Help me" hit me way too hard...
Agreed its just so sad and the way that he says help me is just heartbreaking.
I agree it made me hungry as f***
@@YourMom-sz3lq Ohhhh if that made you hungry, your mouth will be drooling at this: ua-cam.com/video/yiGEo1vpvpM/v-deo.html
According to TV Tropes, these are fish species the characters are based off:
- Padak: atlantic mackerel
- The Master: flatfish
- Spotty: greenling fish
- Anago: white-spotted conger eel
- Nollaemi: snapper (as you said)
- Jooldom: stripped beakfish
- Sea Bass: well, a sea bass
pretty sure padak is a pacific chub mackerel, and nollaemi is a red seabream rather than a snapper
also you mixed up anago and jooldom lol

Funfact:
Padak is also the name of a Korean dish.
Huh cool 👍👍
What is Padak?
@@kopulsotree1721 my brain is now 파닥. That was an almost overpacked amount of info in a seriously compact statement! I learned a lot...but now I have even less(whoda thunk it possible lol) functioning brain 🙃😄 But seriously thank you for taking time to educate us.
Padak is also an onomatopoeia for the fish jumping on the ground.
There are multiple meanings, this film is originally called 파닥파닥, which translates to ‘flap flap’ which are sounds made when fish are out of water. The Korean dish is called ‘파닭’ where the 파 means Scallion and 닭 meaning chicken
I know because I’m Korean
The fish: “HELP OH GOD HELP ME IT HURTS”
Humans: “haha fish go bloop blurp”
Idk why,but I laughed so hard at this 💀💀
Fish can't feel pain...
Reacting to damage is close enough
@@Orange_Swirl Actually Fish do feel pain and suffer, just not as much as humans
@@infinix619 they were being sarcastic
I come from an Asian, specifically Japanese household, and even growing up, I always refused to eat live fish. If I ate fish, it would long dead and was just the meat, not the actual fish head. So I remember when I watched this, I was just concerned. Like, wtf.
That’ll the same shxt since the head is not connected anymore the fish don’t feel anything anymore and there is nothing more ethical about eating a fish dead since a long time, it’s just a way to deny what you are eating, your fish too lived with the head separated from the body, it just say the bottom of a sink instead of you there is no difference
@@laitdejabot9890 you’re about as intelligent as a lump of wood
correct me if im wrong, but japanese dont usually eat food alive right? is more of a Korean and chinese thing, like the people eating live squids
I would simply starve before I’d consume such horrific things! Personally I’d be more concerned for my soul than my stomach.
@@stengon2603 Unfortunately it is still a thing there.
I wouldn't say Padak's death is without buildup or comes out of nowhere. Not only is it explicably said the order was changed to mackerel, but before Padak is served up there's an animated music number between Padak and the Master where they make amends, which ends with Padak being scooped up in a net, reflecting how she has been taken to be eaten.
I like how this animal film doesn't depict humans as irredeemable monsters and the animals as pure angels. Everybody is just out to eat and survive.
Except we could just... kill the fish before gutting them. We're not going to die if we don't eat fish from tanks or animals from farms. That's not fucking "survival".
@@teaz3139 the film is more gritty than real life actually is, filleting a fish really isn't that bad looking n stuff.
Well technically, the fishs don't/cant put cigarettes in your mouth (or play with in general) while your cut up on a platter still alive XD In that sense, I would deem them as such. I guess it depends on the human. Idk, I've seen some fk'd yters making silly youtube vids of eating fishes alive/pouring salt-like condiments on them with their scalps rip off and they are writhing in pain. But, it is an eat or be eat world etc. e-e; (Not saying you are wrong either in your statement just bringing up an idea) :)
@@KittyChibiWaifu well there are people who are fucked up like that.. luckily the majority of the ppl isn't

'It's a movie about fish'
Nice
'It's horror'
Oh no
'It's korean'
*OH NO*
Before the Korean bit, my brain immediately went "Gyo"
LegendaryOdin I just got shivers THINKING about that movie uughh
dygvu ducg it’s not them hating Koreans, animated movies that look happy usually end up being traumatic from there
@dygvu ducg it's just that Koreans are a master at horror. So you know you gonna have nightmares
Got any other good Korean horror movies like this? I lovvvve some horror
I still love how you said "Padak is F***g killed", it's a sad moment but it still cracks me up
Personally I love the way they revealed Padak's death in the film, it was done perfectly. We had all the slow suspense and build-up already from the Master, to do it again with Padak so soon would lose effect, and this way it's almost as if his horror got transferred to her.
It wasn't mentioned in this review but I also adore the transition from the cartoon animated song portion to the death reveal. The cartoon is a very artistic, poetic depiction of Padak saying goodbye to the Master, but it's kind of slowly revealed so as you watch the story unfold you start to put the pieces together (along with the knowledge that the customer now wants mackerel), realising by the end of the cartoon segment that Padak has been caught and is being taken to the afterlife. Then the huge shock and stark contrast between such a subtle and beautiful, almost ethereal piece to the sudden confronting image of Padak being served in pieces and mocked by the customer creates such a feeling of outrage at how disrespectful and cruel this was.
"They want a mackerel instead"
Yay! He lives!
"Mackerel"
oh shit.
Damn, I feel bad mackerel is my fav dish...
mackerel rolled in garlic bread crumbs and then rolled into some fish fry with a pinch of salt fried in a pan with vegetable oil is too good to pass up. Sorry padak 😬😬😬
Mackerel is good, but seabass is my shit.

The eel could have easily escaped and got back to the ocean. Eels can travel on land like snakes if they have too.
Yes but it would have likely be seen escaping by people and put back into the tank

As a taxidermist, one of my main goals is to dispose of the animal as humanly and painless as possible, to avoid something like this happening.
I respect that; no sense in the animal suffering.
But the fish don’t suffer that much, that’s the same thing as what is happening in slaughterhouse, you people are just not used to see the reality of food
Shut up
@@laitdejabot9890 you’re just looking for an argument
@@laitdejabot9890 Fished all my young life, processed chickens too. You're wrong. If you don't stun the fish first, it is very aware it's being cut open and filleted. Many will fight like hell to prevent such processing. Also need to mention, slaughter houses are built to cause a quick end to the animal with low stress. Thus improving meat quality over all. Look up Temple Grandin and you'll see what I mean.
The reality of meat is that you have to kill something to get it. The reality of GOOD meat is that you have to do so in the quickest way possible, so as not to prolong the animal's suffering. If you can't do that, then you are a sad, pathetic human being.
'It hits hard, cuts deep, offers something fresh, and is something you need to sea.'
That should be the movie pull quote lol
Those puns were not on purpose or porpoise
i always saw padak's clownfish eating spree as fueled by pure instinct and intense hunger, as she refused to eat the fish fed to them before unlike the others
Not only that but mackerel are one of the many fish that only eat things that are small enough to fit in their mouth
And probably out of anger and desparation that she will get eaten by humans while the clownfish won't, and one of the clownfish even said that she should "go out and die like an edible fish" before.

I appreciate a lot of Korean cinema because it's extremely realistic in going against the grain for tropes. Heroes don't always win. The protagonists aren't always redeemable. It's depressing, but it also teaches you a lesson. Korean films have impacted me more than any other nation's, and I've seen so few. (Of course, I know this means they I might have just gotten very lucky in my selection, but still ...)
how the idea for this film came to be with that when the director was working, he would always walk by a fish store from work. He would look at the fish and see that he saw himself has a fish in the tank. He wanted this movie to show how fish are treated in fish restaurants in Korea. I believe it did an amazing job at it.
Ya’ll forgetting that by the time Padak ate the clownfish, she must’ve been bloody starving. She hasn’t eaten in days.
Yeah you could hear her stomach growling when she was regaining consciousness inside the fish tank
the clown fish was also an a-hole though, so I don't feel too bad about them being eaten.
@Noob. I guess. ight time to pull out r34
Not only that but mackerel do eat other fish that are smaller than them
@@williampulfer-melville8536 most fish do anyway, but even more so when they're hungry.
Honestly i think it's intentionally that the humans looks so uncanney valley and ugly, do to the movie's dark and shocking tone.
Not to mention that we are seeing this from their point of view.
don't you mean a shocking tuna

Yep. I am not so softhearted that i would feel that beings with a 5 second memory would have feeling or that they are capable of HUMAN EMOTIONS!!!
Raximus3000
5 second memory is a myth
I love eating fish, but the idea of eating something that is still alive, wiggling and feeling... I would discourage anyone I could to go to such restaurant
Its such a disgusting thought to have a creature watch you eat its flesh while it wiggles in pain
@@enzoiguess340 it can also give you food poisoning
I think the way the humans were animated is clever. Humans aren’t aliens to us - but they are to the fish.
It’s difficult for us to see ourselves as aliens, but the way it’s animated pulls it off really well.
Not only how creepy the people look but also in how slow & janky they move - fish are extremely fluid & agile in the water - it makes sense to see that contrast when looking at humans in their perspective
This can also be seen in the environment, the water, ocean & nemo tank has a sense of being a fairly sparse, clean & a fluid place - whereas the humans open air world is full of grime, clutter & everything grounded.
The human’s world of densely populated cities & claustrophobia is then replicated onto the fish by shoving them all into small overcrowded tanks - the fish are subjected to a completely an alien world.. helping us see the perspective of our self’s being alien.

I think the "cheap" cgi was supposed to emphasize how gross & awkward people probably are to fish who by comparison are sleek and beautiful.

Again I remembered "cartoons and animated movies aren't automatically for kids"
I showed this movie to my 6-year-old son. He loves it so much that he can't stop thinking about! He stays up all night crying for me to show it to him again. I'm so glad animation is only for kids! Because with all the other genres, I have to worry about if it has some adult themes, but not with animation! No! Animation is only for kids!
@@cheesyquokka I love it xD
What
UA-cam doesn't
If someone ever says that to my face, I'm doing to show them the most adult animated shows out there and emphasize that it's ADULT ANIMATION.
Hopefully I'll get through to them instead of those morons yelling in horror: "THIS IS SICKENING! WHO WATCHES THIS!? YOU? YOU'RE *SICK!* WHAT IF THE CHILDREN SEE THIS?!"
Steve Reviews, what I like about this movie is that in the end Padak accepts her fate and that she wouldn't get to escape. She knows it's okay to face death. When Padak realizes her tragic end, she doesn't change one bit, and does the best thing she knows how to do; inspire others. In ''Forgive Me" we see Spotty take her fin as if to comfort her and is guiding Padak to the afterlife. When the Master was trying to escape, Padak encourages him in spirit . You can literally hear her voice going, " You're almost there!" and "don't stop!". Padak, even when dead still lives on in heaven with Spotty. And the reason that Padak ate the Nemos was because she was starving and she snapped and went in a feeding frenzy. She didn't have anything to eat for a while. But, to be fair, Padak stopped and realized what she was becoming. I give the movie a 6/10.
When I watched the movie, I thought that Old Halibut was hearing his mate’s voice when he was flopping across the dock.
It’s warming to think, that he also lived for her.
@@skipperdoodles3275 I heard that Padak and Master's mate had the same voice actor?
@@feistybearproductions6478 Yeah.
I like how the movies makes you think its about animal cruetly.
But then reminds you animals are just as cruel but their cruetly is just done differently from ours.

Ostrich Syndrome, at it's finest.

Never thought I'd see a fish beat another fish while screaming give me back my brain cells
Its unsettling how the fish are still alive after being cut up.
He's pulling your leg, they're dead. They move because the brain keeps sending electrical signals. As for the movie, probably aliens.
@@nicholasgutierrez9940 Yeah, I'm pretty sure after being cut up like that they're *not* alive, they're just twitching, for the same reason that chickens flap and twitch after having their heads cut off (it also looks like the spinal cord is still in tact). Also, sometimes salt makes muscles twitch (look up any video of like, squid tentacles reacting to, I think soy sauce, despite being very much dead they twitch and writhe cause of how the salt reacts with it).
I've help clean fish for eating and I can confirm that despite being very very dead, they did give the occasional twitch when I started cutting in.
So no the uh, chopped up fish are defo dead (at least irl, idk about in the movie).
Nicholas Gutierrez that doesn’t apply to all situations. That applies to situations when the animal is dead. Ghost nerves react AFTER the animal has been killed and brain receptions stop occurring directly. Most Asian markets still have living animals served on plates. Simple as that.
It was very unsettling. And yes the fish were still alive. They don’t just die instantly after all. It’s like someone getting their limbs cut off. You will die of blood loss, but you never just die automatically.
Nicholas Gutierrez most likely... but if they just cut the skin and muscle and don’t slice through the vital organs or arteries they might survive until they suffocate...
would have been funnier if when the Master Flatfish finally gets back in the ocean, he is promptly eaten alive graphically by a shark, showing that in the end they may have been trying to return to the ocean but the ocean isn't exactly a gentle and cuddly place 😂😂😂
I thought that Master being eaten by a bigger fish is going to be the ending, since this movie basically giving the GRRM treatment to main characters like Padak and Spotty. Pretty disappointed.
I was totally prepared for that too! 😅 Little disappointed when he didn’t! 😂🤣😂
I Tough that too... but Honestly it would have been kinda disapointed
I honestly thought a net would pull him back up.
I honestly like that kind of ending, but I think the idea is that the remaining fish now have a little hope since they've seen their master successfully get away. That could have potential for a follow up story that could actually live up to the original(though I'm not sure what it'd be called after the first one killed the title character).
honestly in my opinion padak is a masterpice its insanely well made the animation is just crazy, the graphics, shading everything is insane!
I like how, even though Steve usually takes his reviews pretty seriously and honestly, he still has great little edits that make an otherwise horrific scene kind of funny, like at 7:22
Padak wasn’t actually opposed to eating fish, she just didn’t want to eat after the master. Plus in the actual movie those clown fish were little assholes
Even if they were assholes, it's still shocking tho, like, it's part of the things you know that can happen but don't really want to see it.
Blood Skarlet I think this movie is the definition of “I know it happens but I don’t want to see it”
Ouh, I thought it was just her nature. Since big fish eats small fish
I'm not really shocked. I owned fish before, they don't empathize with fish that are not the same size at all. They do try to get along with those of the same size, probably because it would waste their energy.. but smaller ones get attacked, even if they are the same species. This doesn't mean that they deserve to be consumed while alive however. There are obviously ways to kill a fish before eating it. Than again... fish don't bother to kill each other before eating. They don't have a concept of mercy. However I do understand humans do, so its odd not to do it just for that reason. Lets just say I'm not really taking sides, I'm on the fence about this topic.

I like to think that the mackerel killed earlier is a little hint that Padak was going to die,being how the transition goes from the other mackerel to Padak
Honestly, considering how much whiplash this film gives based on your synopsis, I was honestly surprised the Master actually got to survive. I figured that a bigger fish would just devour him in one bite mere moments after he landed in the ocean.
You'd think the eel would escape. Eels are fantastic at getting out of tanks and because they can slither rather than flop around, they can travel across land much better than other fish.
He had longer hit box
@@pizzaman3985 lmaooo
@@pizzaman3985 i wanted him to leave
I think that's part of the whole theme of the movie, even if you are perfectly able to escape, you probably won't try because of fear
What if he was dead inside
When padak was cooked, it looked like a game over screen
Oof... that's actually pretty accurate.
*Misson Failed! We'll get 'em next time!*
yeah.
Actually, padak wasn't cooked. Just served raw.
At least that's what I saw.
Beacause it is
Reminder. Just because something is "animated", doesn't mean it can't be serious or adult.
15:10 I feel like the uncanny appearance of the humans was intentional. They wanted to make them look creepy and unnatural.
Yeah it’s how fish when they say that humans are monsters, no pun intended
As a man who regularly killed his own food, the part where the customer sticks the cigarette in padaks mouth really irked me. Like, really irked me. One thing I was always taught was to never mishandle a dead animal. And grab it as delicately as possible. And for a life form to die, only to be mocked by a stupid customer...
Edit: fuck the likes you know you made it when arguementS started in the reply section. AND IM NOT EVEN PART OF THE ARGUEMENT!

@@symon9440 its still an living creature. it feels pain. Its same as saying its okay to kill a baby since their brain isnt developed
@@Batkhuyag1300 well at least babies can develop unlike fishes they stay braindead for the rest of their lives so idc about them lol
@@symon9440 a better reasoning would just say it's life. Some animals won't care about what they eat, some even hunt for sport and play with their food. They would probably do the same to us.
aren't the fish heads only moved by the last electric impulses?
Moral of the story: eat fish that are killed humanely.
You'd be surprised how that isn't done in the fish market, ever.
@@supersaiandemon Agreed
Or eat just carcasses, aka already dead fish
Or just be a real man and eat it alive with your teeth while it fights you. Then primal scream your victory
@@veronicapiccinini1981 Without fish being fresh or at least preserved, you'd most likely gonna get sick from the rotten flesh. Maybe putting down the fish humanely would be a better option if that is an option.
Adding the fact that I have an actual fear of fish skeletons, this video is practically a horror film with jump scares in every corner. 😱
I actually watched the whole movie a few months ago and it’s pretty deep. I don’t really think of it as a horror movie, I see it more as a POV fish life movie. Despite humans eating fish to survive, this is supposed to take place in a fish’s perspective.
Everyone: *horrified*
*me who was raised around Asian fish markets*
First time?
I love sushi. I love my pet fish.
The way I think of it is that this is the circle of life. But I don't like the brutality of the flim as my grandmas friends are sushi chiefs and have assured me that most places will kill the fish before cutting it up.
Yeah plus most crabs wont eat a fish unless its dead or has been dead for several days. Another thing is that fish won't eat a fish that is alive. I've seen fish at pet stores and usually if one is dying they will leave it alone until it's actually dead. Plus resturants are not supposed to feed the fish dying fish as the dead fish could be sick and could potentially get the customer sick.
This flim really feels like PETA propaganda tbh
@@rosestrife1498 I think peta will love this film
Same.
Animals that are used for food are typically killed in a quick and least brutal way possible.
I wonder if the humans being so ugly and unnatural was intentional
I bet it was.
Just like in Sausage Party
@@AB-bg7os Wow I find that offending but ik it was just a joke.

Honestly? This is one of my favorite animated films. It stuck with me so hard, I still think of Padak’s song sequences to this day.
I feel like the humans design was intentional to show how monstrous we are
She cracks and eats the clowning but does stop and realize what she has done and it hits her hard. She did it cause she had refused to eat the whole time and has a moment of weakness. This isn't against the nature of her character
Yeah people don't get that scene very often from what I've noticed
No, She was still going at it, just getting stopped by the statue and the decoration.
I agree with the comment above. She was still going after it, her tongue was even trying to move towards it.
It probably also was out of anger and desparation that she will get eaten by the humans while the clownfish won't, and when one of the clownfish said "Go out and die like an edible fish".
@@manj10dot84 But that doesnt change what op said. Its actually a well known behavior in starving people, anorexics and bulimics. They starve themselves until their instincts take over and they gorge on all the food they can find almost in a daze. Once they get the first taste, they cant stop until they are full. It has killed a lot of starving people actually. They were starving, then they get saved so they eat a lot of food. More that they can digest with the little bit of energy they have left so they die.
I feel like Spotty and Padak's deaths were basically the breaking point for the master to work up the courage to escape and live. The entire film he accepted that they were all already dead and trapped forever.
I think Padak was a important movie. In every movie everything good happens to the main character. They never die, but thats not how life works. Good people can die and I think more movies need to showcase that.
Padak getting eaten at the end really makes this film even more realistic.
The clownfish started to insult Padak, pretty much calling her nothing but food. She was probably hungry from not eating and angry at being called worthless.
also probably to show them what it's like to be food
Mackrwel eat clownfish has a diet
Most importantly the Clowns reminded her of Pennywise!
eating an animal alive, not killing it properly, torturing it or anything ells like that is disgraceful and disgusting.
Exactly. I don't like when people use culture as an excuse. Just because something is someone's culture, that doesn't mean that it's not wrong.
say it louder pls I think the ones in the back can't hear you
@@norixal2480 Human nature.
Not at all, what are you talking about, it's completely normal.
@@DiiAcid Eating any animal is natural
I think the ending is great. Padak and spotty being red herrings (hehe) but their hope and dedication eventually changed the most cynical and and lost fish among them to finally give it his all to escape the only hell he's ever known. I didn't think "he left those other fish in the tank to die", I thought that now those fish might also have hope of one day escaping.
I will always thank this video for introducing me to Padak for the first time
This film impacted me in more ways than I can describe. Not only has the film gone into my top 10 films of all time for many reasons but it has also inspired me creatively through various ways like how to tell an interesting story in one location or how to make sympathetic yet morally ambiguous characters
Oh, and I guess it also put me off fish for life 😂
So, if I understood correctly, this is WaterFish Down.
Yes
Plague waterfish down
Yeah. This almost feels worse I think since it's closer to our reality with some places eating animals alive 🤢😔
Lol

To be fair, that Nemo was being racist/classist against the Mackerel.
That's whay we shud shot Karens
How was he being racist/classist? Sorry, I haven't seen the film :(
Comrade Padak literally eating the fish. Rest in power Padak.
I know it’s meant to be a joke but I think that’s an ordinary clownfish. Nemo was born with a small, shaky fin and all the clownfish in that tank have two normal fins.

[mild spoiler warning]
They said "go die like an edible fish" in reference to the fact that people didn't see Clownfish as fish to eat, unlike the Mackrel.
I remember watching this movie as a kid. I was at a playmate's house with like 5 other kids. My mom found this movie from a korean website for us to watch thinking it is a sweet kids movie because of the poster. I was mildly surprised to see how gruesome it is but I watched it to the very end. It had no subtitles so I couldn't understand what the characters were saying. As a result, this movie wasn't memorable to me despite how dark it is. It wasn't until I saw this video that I suddenly remember watching this film.
3:12 That's how I see it as well.
I hate those kinds of dishes where fish are still alive. It just racks up the guilt.
Imagine if as soon as he gets into the ocean he gets eaten by a shark.
I honestly expected that in the ending credits. Like even the hope of escape just ends tragic.
I was expecting that or maybe a Fisher man catching him again
Like in the meg where it eats the boat? Or perhaps when jaws eats the girl
Honestly, it should end like that. There's so many movies that try to play up this notion that wild animals are all peace loving hippies and only people kill animals to try and guilt us into not eating animals, when in reality animals eat each other constantly and are no safer in the wild. This movie was subverting that all the way until it has that ending. A movie with this tone and realism should not end with "and he lived happily ever after".
What a plot twist
I'd watched the movie immediately after watching this, and turns out Padak only went hog-wild on the clown fish, because she wasn't eating in the tank, and was ravenously hungry, so she lost her mind in a fit of hunger and ate the smaller fish in desperation. Plus food chain reference or something, cause clownfish are prey items to larger fish breeds.
Damm...and I thought killing younglings was bad.
I mean it's nature though, in the wild mackerel eat smaller fish. I wouldn't call it wrong.
@@reubencaldwell8494 In terms of her moral standards of refusing to eat other fish, it's kinda wrong by her. In the wild, it's not uncommon, of course.
@@CharaDreemurr15243 The fish she refused to eat are not what she'd naturally consume, so they're are more like peers on even footing. So the concept of eating an equal is jarring/unnatural, a clownfish is just another prey fish to be consumed. (Only referencing the food chain/ecology, nothing more). Not to mention she was mainly not eating by the end to avoid becoming subservient to the flatfish.
Too bad they had no anemone
I like the art style, 10/10, it’s quit adorable when his eyes go big and he looks so happy 😅
2 years late but Padak didn't go suddenly berserk--She was starving and hasn't eaten since she was caught so that was desperation and just losing it right there.
the most shocking part is how it didn't have a desperately hopeless ending.
I know! I thought it was gonna end with them all being served at once, or in a gruesome montage.
@@semajjarrett3877 I thought the Master was about to get eaten by a sea animal as soon as he escaped.
@@jonquilgemstone Yhea, tougth the seagull from the poster would just take him...
no bad ending, just a bittersweet one
Padak died, but the Master had a change of heart and was the one that ended up escaping
When he assumed the species my brain went „i know this from animal crossing“
Oh yeah
When he said rockfish i was like, "TCH, that it not correct. Because acording to the encyclopedia of-"

The outro puns are ALWAYS on point. Very well review.

Best comment I’ve seen today
Mood
I mean the english translation is just XDDDD
I just snickered so hard from this-
*Just the image*
I can't help but feel like the humans were made creepy on purpose...
Hence how well the CGI did its job!
Ikr its like to set the tone of discust toward them
The fish were creepy af too because they don’t have full sets of people teeth like the ones in the film
Yeah, it's a film from the fishes' perspective, so making people weird and menacing makes sense
The beginning where he spoke about the cover, that's immaculate
The fact that Steve admitted he bought this on the Steam Store made me aware that the Steam Store sold movies. So that’s nice, cheers Steve.
why hasn't the eel escaped? eels can survive extended periods of time out of water, are amazing escape artists (coming from someone who has kept them as pets), are highly efficient at slithering across land and are intelligent, surely if a flounder can escape this tank and get into the ocean so can the eel, I have seen various freshwater eels travel great distances over land on wet nights to get to an isolated ponds
Probably because he had already lost his will to live
Plot twist: The eel was bred to believe he can't slither away.
I think it’s because conger eels (based on what it looks like it’s a common conger eel) can’t live out of water for too long unlike their freshwater cousins.
Also they can’t climb as well.
This is probably due to the fact that it doesn’t need to
@@yeetusmann1796 no, conger eels do have the ability to breathe semi decently out of water if they remain moist and due to their body shape are far from inefficient at traversing a terrestrial environment, in fact an aquarist at the Tynemouth aquarium stated in regard to a conger eel someone dumped that "Conger eels are capable of surviving for some time out of water", in fact the eel in that case was stuck out of water for many hours before aquarium attendees picked it up, the whole time the animal crawled around inside the dry create it was dumped in, allegedly being able to smell the tank water but being unable to get into the aquariums due to being trapped in the plastic create, the animal almost died due to extreme dehydration from many hours without moist skin because there was little to no moisture in the air when it was dumped, but under the aquariums care the animal made a swift recovery, also keep in mind the tank is less then a hundred meters from the sea, on a rainy day or night the conger eel would be able to get to the water with great ease, given the amount of time that one spent crawling around in the create with absolutely no water
That maybe because it believed the flounders Talk on how its hopeless to escape. Maybe after seeing the flounders escape it will now try.
This feels like the levels of Little Nightmares that we didn't play.
I don’t know why but this comment made me wheeze
Oh g o d
They need swimming physics and a DLC of this type
I got LNM vibes too! Very good game
Im the 300 like
At least fish are stupid as hell in real life. The only sea life I feel bad for are octopus, since they're beyond smart.
Imagine swapping out all the finding Nemo disks with this film back in the rental days haha
I'd just like to point out that "fresh catch" sushi restaurants are NOT this cruel. A proper sushi place have chefs cut into specific parts of the fish to kill them instantly.
Cutting into a fish before killing it is not common practice. Eating live octopus is also not common practice, despite what viral videos lead you to believe.
There's this viral mukbang channel that constantly eats live seafood and she is not a good example of what Asians enjoy as exotic food. She is an animal abuser.
I am so sorry to everyone who now thinks that sushi places are like this. You can still enjoy your fish, I swear! 🙏
Edit: Specifically, this is the Japanese method. I can't speak for other sushi restaurants around the world.
things like in this film are only in smaller spots.. the majority of the people won't eat the fish alive.. however there are set restaurants that are like in the movie.. luckily it's not many though
This isn't sushi place, no I don't think. Live fishes are seen as more of a delicacy than sushi. Talking as an Asian ✌️☮️
really I have seen channel where guy cuts and boils live animals and you say it isint common
@@GrumpyGrimo on the internet it isn't uncommon because sick people are more obvious here... as i said there certainly are people like this.. the majority of the people wouldn't do that
@@GrumpyGrimo from what you said, it seems like you only saw ONE guy. From what I said, I saw ONE woman. That's just two people so far.
So yeah, it's not common.
Hell, even if there were 10 people making that type of content on UA-cam, that still doesn't mean it's common. It would require a LOT more people to make something like that commonplace.
i think the movie poster is false advertising, imagine bringing your kids to watch this without knowing the true nature of the movie's tone.
I’m thinking it’s one of those activist movies. While I agree that many of their work are good, I do tend to find activists do a lot of promotion for their materials and agendas in a way that guarantees that their message gets across to large swathes of the population. It could be seen as pretty irritating and even disheartening, as was the case with people bringing children to see this film.
It's like when my dad rented Watership down. That thing helped shape my childhood.
Well it's a Korean film. Asians tend to be smarter than Americans.
Also in korea, people are blame about advertisement of this movie
Of course, many children crying in fear while fishes are killed brutally
Shouldn't there be a rating or was the movie unrated when it came out?
3:14 Squidward just gone cannibalism. LOL.
Because its their food, naturally
Roses are red,
Grown men can cry,

Bruce: fish are friends not food
This movie: fish are food not friends
Now I kind of fully know why he's becoming a vegan.
Fish are friends and food. Also, dont forget that you gotta eat the smaller ones. :D
Parent: *Sees happy fish on movie cover and puts it on*
Kid: Mum...
For me it was IT
me watching animatrix as a kid
Literally me but with sausage party
10 years of therapy later....
@@not_an_actual_stalker original it? or the recent remake? Cuz it looks like these comments descend in age as you go down.
I remember being freaked out by the original 'IT'.
Animatrix I was at least a teen.
and sausage party feels like it just came out to me. (just looked it up, and it did. 2016)
If you remember the original IT, do you remember HOUSE? that was what scared me as a kid. His g/f literally turns into a monster and he kills her then she turns back to a normal body... Gave me trust issues...
The thing with the clownfish doesn’t surprise me mackerels are carnivores
