The Rainbow Fish

Initially isolated by his own vanity and obsession with his appearance, the protagonist embarks on a voyage across the ocean with a small blue fish.

The film is directed and written by Florian Moch. The voice cast features Jannik Schümann as the title character and Luna Wedler as the little blue fish. Produced by StudioCanal, Zodiac Pictures, and Claussen+Putz Filmproduktion, the movie has a runtime of 70 minutes. It is scheduled for release on November 19, 2026.
