Fish Out of Water

Hero Overview

Fish Out of Water is one of the two tritagonists (alongside Runt of the Litter) of Disney's 2005 animated feature film Chicken Little. He is an anthropomorphic goldfish, who is one of Chicken Little’s friends.

He doesn't talk, but his sound effects were done by Dan Molina.

Personality[]

He does not speak traditionally, but he makes gurgling sounds and does accompanying gestures with them, with his friends somehow being able to understand him in spite of that. He is also very brave and often does stunts around his friends to prove it.

History[]

Fish is first seen at school at his desk when Master Woolensworth asks if he is present, and he states it. He is then seen in the gym playing dodgeball, during which he collects magazines to build a paper skyscraper and pretends to be Godzilla, and then tries to protect Little alongside Abby and Runt from Goosey Loosey, who ends up flooding the gym. Chicken Little then signs up for baseball, after which he, along with Abby and Runt, train him to become a champion, with him even pretending to be a super fan when it's Chicken Little's turn to play. When he wins a game for the team by getting the a hit and making it all the way to home base, Fish exalts enthusiastically for the victory.

When something that looks like an octagon-shaped piece of sky crashes into Chicken Little's room, he calls Abby, Runt and Fish to talk to them about it since it's the same object that hit him a year ago. Fish plays with the object, but accidently turns it on while he's on top of it, which causes it to start up and fly out the window with him on it and reconnect with an invisible object that it came from. In a panic, the three chase Fish's light to the baseball field where an alien spaceship lands. Runt is convinced that the aliens have killed Fish, but he is seen through a window alive and well. When they reunite, the four find a map of the solar system that looks like the aliens want to invade the Earth and the four flee with the aliens at their heels, unaware that their son is following them. Fish, along with Abby and Runt, help Little to reach the school bell and alarm the city, but the aliens flee so quickly due to hating the noise that he isn't able to show them proof. Little tries to desperately detail the experience and his friends vouch for his claims, but without success.

The next day, Fish and the others try to console Little, but they all get scared when they discover Kirby. However, Fish is able to understand him and calms everyone down while he talks to Kirby. At that moment, the aliens invade Oakey Oaks, and Abby, Runt and Fish try to explain the truth to Buck Cluck while Little looks after Kirby. The three friends manage to reunite Little with his father. He is seen again in a fire truck with his friends and battling aliens with a ladder as Little and Buck are trying to reunite Kirby with her parents. He is then seen as the aliens putting everything back where it was and fixing the damage they caused after Kirby has successfully been returned to them and they call off the invasion. He, Little and Abby are then surprised to see that Foxy has become kinder and more feminine due to having her brainwaves scrambled when she was brought back.

Fish is then seen at the cinema with all the other citizens of Oakey Oaks watching a film of a future version of him, Little, Abby and Runt and about an alien invasion. When the film ends, he and the others applaud Little's newfound popularity. He is finally seen in the credits with the other major characters while they sing and/or dance to the song "Don't Go Breaking My Heart".

Trivia[]

Dan Molina performed the "voice" for Fish by vocalizing through a tube into a water cooler tank full of water.
Only his friends Abby, Runt, and Chicken Little can understand what he's saying. To everyone else, it sounds like "Glub!"
At one point during the scene where Chicken Little is at the Oakey Oaks Middle School gym, Fish stands on the Empire State Building made of paper and does a spoof of King Kong, a reference to the classic King Kong film. After Fish falls off the "building", Runt comments "'Twas beauty that killed the beast", a nod to the line from the classic King Kong, though misquoted.
