“Swim, Pip!” 🐟 Viva Kids has revealed the first official trailer for the animated comedy called The Pout-Pout Fish, currently set to hit theaters nationwide in March 2026 early next year. Mainly created for kids. Based on the bestselling book series (currently at 19 books!!), The Pout-Pout Fish movie brings to life the hilarious and heartwarming story of an unlikely duo, Mr. Fish (voiced by Nick Offerman) and tiny sea dragon Pip (voiced by Nina Oyama), who embark on an epic undersea quest to find a legendary fish that could save their homes. With a star-studded voice cast including Offerman & Oyama, with Miranda Otto, Remy Hii, Jordin Sparks, and Amy Sedaris. This feel-good animated adventure will make a splash with audiences of all ages. Co-directed by Ricard Cussó and Rio Harrington, The Pout-Pout Fish movie celebrates the power of friendship, courage, and spreading happiness – no matter how deep the ocean goes. This opens first in Australia on New Years Day (as seen on the poster below), but will take a few more months before it plays in the US (timed with Spring Break for schoolkids). Doesn’t look so bad! Should be a fun one to watch.
Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Ricard Cussó’s movie The Pout-Pout Fish, direct from YouTube:
Two aquatic misfits embark on an impossible journey to save their home. Living on a rundown shipwreck, Mr. Fish discovers a hyperactive young sea dragon Pip – who had mistaken his home for a junkyard – pilfering his belongings. The heated argument that ensues leaves both their houses in ruin… But there is hope. Embarking on a seemingly impossible quest in search of the mythical “Shimmer” to grant them a wish, there’s only one problem: someone else is on the hunt. The Pout-Pout Fish is directed by Australian filmmaker Ricard Cussó, director of the animated movies The Wishmas Tree, Combat Wombat 1 & 2, Daisy Quokka, Scary Girl, and A Sloth Story previously. Co-directed by Rio Harrington. The screenplay is written by Elise Allen, Elie Choufany, and Dominic Morris. Based on the book series of the same name written by Deborah Diesen. Produced by Nadine Bates, Madeira Ginley, Kristen Souvlis, Cyma Zarghami. Made by MIMO Studios, Like a Photon Creative, Cosmic Dino Studios, Alceon, & Eclectik Vision. Viva Kids debuts The Pout-Pout Fish in US theaters nationwide starting on March 20th, 2026 next year. Any good?
