Description: Hailed as one of the greatest films of all time, The Incredible Mr. Limpet is a story about the wonders of imagination and the triumph of the spirit. Live-action and 2-D animation combine to tell the story of a man who longs to be a fish after he is classified by the Navy as an F4 - "too small and too weak to be a soldier." When his dream of being a fish becomes a reality, Henry uses his underwater prowess to become the Navy's strongest secret weapon.
Amazon.com: Ever wonder what would happen if the imaginary worlds of Bedknobs and Broomsticks and SpongeBob SquarePants were to collide? If so, chances are good you've yet to discover The Incredible Mr. Limpet. Starring the irrepressible Don Knotts, this 1964 family feature combines live (land) action and animated (undersea) sequences with delightful results. During World War II, Knotts is mild-mannered, spectacle-sporting bookkeeper Henry Limpet. More than anything--he's a fish fan and a patriot. When the navy rejects him due to poor eyesight, he falls into a funk from which not even his beloved aquarium or loving--if bossy--wife can rescue him. So he makes a wish... to become a fish. Next thing he knows--he is! With a little help from a hermit crab named Crusty and the lovely Ladyfish, it's as a talking, bespectacled fish that Limpet proves himself the war hero he always knew he was meant to be. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

The Incredible Mr. Limpet This was such a no brainer to order from Amozon.com, was here in little time. One of our old classic movies, which I ordered for my hubbys birthday. Will do ordering again. thank You Amozon DP
Great family movie This movie is timeless. My grandchildren ages 7, 9, 13 and 14 all watched it together for the first time and they all loved it. The following day they asked to watch it again.
Mr. Limpet DVD review The DVD was received very quickly. It only took 2 days. Much faster than expected. But the circle part on the inside of the case was broken, so the DVD moves around now. Other than that I was pleased with the whole process and product. Wish I could get a new case for it.
