	Movies - The Incredible Mr. Limpet

The Incredible Mr. Limpet is a 1964 movie from Warner Brothers about a human named Henry Limpet who turns into a talking fish, and in return helps the US Navy to defeat Nazis using his new "thrum", a whale busting noise that disrupts underwater measurements and weapons. Don Knotts plays the title character.

This 1964 family feature is an amusing, breakthrough fantasy that combines live-action and animation.

Set in World War II, bookkeeper Henry Limpet loves fish with an ardent passion. Rejected by the navy and downcast, he falls off a pier, while out on a walk with his friends, and turns into a fish.

The animated fish-like Limpet, complete with his signature spectacles, then uses his new-found abilities to assist the Navy in tracking down German U-boats, becoming one of America's greatest naval heroes.

The choice of the name Limpet for the main character is somewhat ironic, as while limpets are aquatic, in their adult form, they are nearly immobile mollusks that cling to rocky shorelines.
