One Nick Offerman movie is outperforming an Alexander Skarsgård fantasy epic on HBO Max. Offerman’s animated comedy, The Pout-Pout Fish, is currently the most-streamed movie on the platform, at No. 1. Meanwhile, Skarsgård’s The Legend of Tarzan is also tracking well, at No. 2 on the watchlist.
Released in 2016, David Yates directed The Legend of Tarzan, an adaptation of the classic Edgar Rice Burroughs character, Tarzan. Besides Skarsgård, it had an ensemble cast that included Samuel L. Jackson, Margot Robbie, Djimon Hounsou, and Christoph Waltz. While largely considered a flop because of its box-office performance and critical reviews, the movie has received a lot of love on streaming. It currently has a 35% Tomatometer score.
What is Nick Offerman’s The Pout-Pout Fish movie about?
The Pout-Pout Fish is an animated comedy directed by Ricard Cussó. The movie adapts Deborah Diesen’s The Pout-Pout Fish. The story follows Mr. Fish, a gloomy, glum member of the coral reef community. However, everything changes when he comes across a baby sea dragon.
In addition to Offerman, it also stars Nina Oyama, Miranda Otto, Remy Hii, Mark Coles Smith, Nazeem Hussain, Jordin Sparks, and Amy Sedaris. Elise Allen, Elie Choufany, and Dominic Morris wrote The Pout-Pout Fish. MIMO Studios, Like a Photon Creative, Cosmic Dino Studio, Alceon Entertainment, and Eclectik Vision served as the production companies beyond the project.
The movie received a lukewarm reception from critics. It holds a 61% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. The website’s consensus reads, “Appealing and colorful without being particularly distinctive, this animated adventure is a small fish in the big pond of family entertainment but can be relied upon to turn a frown upside down.” The Pout-Pout Fish has a 5/10 rating on IMDb, based on a little over 1,300 ratings.
