The Pout-Pout Fish

What it’s about

Mr. Fish lives alone in a rundown shipwreck, known for his bad mood. When a young sea dragon named Pip mistakes his home for a junkyard and steals from him, their argument leaves both dwellings in ruins. The only hope is to find the mythical Shimmer, a creature that grants wishes, but they are not the only ones searching.
