Fishtales DVD

Fishtales DVD – review and giveaway

Monkey is fascinated by the marine life whenever we visit an Aquarium and having recently enjoyed learning more about Sharks, I thought he’d find the new Fishtales DVD interesting.

Fishtales DVD

Lionsgate Home Entertainment UK released the Fishtales DVD on 18th July and Monkey and I have just caught up with the undersea action. This film is a bit different from the norm as it mixes real underwater footage with animation.

I found the animation a bit basic, but Monkey was glued to the Fishtales DVD yesterday afternoon.  We join Cleo the Angler Fish and Puffer the Pufferfish as they try to find their friend Ollie the Octopus who has been chased across the ocean by some rather savage-looking sharks.

The friends are helped by Crash the Manta Ray, and as they search high and low for Ollie, the real underwater filming introduces children to all sorts of marine life.  Cleo has a vast knowledge of all the creatures featured and Fishtales is actually very educational.

From Stone Fish to Moray Eels, Clown Fish to Seals the details in this DVD rather impressed us both.  At one point the Magic Lobsters even help the three friends to be able to breathe in rivers as they try to find Ollie, thus introducing us to more animals and facts.  The DVD runs for 95 minutes and Monkey gives it a big thumbs up. For £5.00 Fishtales has lots of educational value, I’ve included my Amazon Affiliate link below for your reference.
