Love This Thing:

I always thought he changed because he made a wish on a fish. Kind of like Pinocchio wishing upon his wishing star.

I read that TPTB have been thinking of a remake for quite a while now. But when and where would the story be set? Would he still be a secret weapon, I wonder. Carrey seems to be the choice at the moment to play Limpet.

Have you seen The Ghost and Mr. Chicken? Knotts is still hysterical in it but it's actually a bit more appropriate in this film dealing with ghosts and haunted houses.

It's entirely possible that I am missing the point of your message.

This was one of my favorite films as a kid. I loved how it went from life-like filming to animation. It amazes me that people are watching it now. I need to get a copy of this!

I have always loved this movie since I was a kid. It was on tv a lot during the 60's and 70's. Sadly it is not shown anymore, in my area anyhow. Then today I visited a second hand store and lo and behold a DVD of "Das Limpet" was on the shelf. Needless to say I scooped it up and I'm watching it as I type this. I also bought "The Wizard of Oz" and "Mary Poppins" which was the first movie I ever saw in the theater. my wife just shook her head after I bought these films. Call me a nerd, weird, or a P&$#y for buying these kids flicks but I like what I like. I also own "The Godfather" box set, the complete "Soprano's" box set and the "Lethal Weapon" series. So I'm all P*##y whipped.
