- The Incredible Mr. Limpet (1964) #WarnerArchive #WarnerBros #TheIncredibleMrLimpet
Hailed as one of the greatest films of all time, The Incredible Mr. Limpet is a story about the wonders of imagination and the triumph of the spirit. Live-action and 2-D animation combine to tell the story of a man who longs to be a fish after he is classified by the Navy as an F4 - "too small and too weak to be a soldier." When his dream of being a fish becomes a reality, Henry uses his underwater prowess to become the Navy's strongest secret weapon.
Directed By Arthur Lubin, Gerry Chiniquy, Robert McKimson
Starring Don Knotts, Carole Cook, Jack Weston

I'm an early 2000s kid, but thank god I grew up in a house hold were movies like this played all the time.
This was one of my favs when I had a vhs for it
My parents told me I made this movie up in my head >:(
Me too!!
Yeah, thank god for old people. Lol 😂
I'm a 1990's baby and I had this on VHS... XD I used to stare into my fish tank and sing this song as a small child.
I was born in 2000, but my parents showed me this classic when I was really young. The film introduced me to the late great Don Knotts. He was truly one of a kind.
Have you seen "The ghost and Mr.Chicken ?
I’m a 90s kid!
I am mid 2000 kid
I'm a 60s kid
80’s kid here that’s so awesome brother
I haven’t seen this in Sooo long, I thought this was just a weird dream
Literally I had to ask myself if I dreamt this movie was real or not
Are you the guy who made the Reddit post asking what this movie is called?
@@sloppyjoe9070 No I dont think so, but I found out what this movies called, Mr. Limpet
Same I watched this when I was like 3
Ohhh my gosh same!
In the day...my brother and I saw the premiere in NYC...1964. And Don Knotts was there to promote the movie. We got to shake his hand. No childhood was complete without watching this movie. One of the most Iconic...Legendary...Epic...Magical...Mythical movie if ALL TIME.
What a wonderful experience for you and your brother!
GOOSEBUMPS.
WISH I COULD GO BACK, BE THAT LITTLE INNOCENT, HAPPY, LITTLE GIRL AGAIN KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW ! !
💝✨✨✨✨✨
What a thrill. That really is special
This film is a childhood memory.
كلامك مزبوط ، مذكرة طفولة بتعقد إنها كتير بتعنيلنا
What you're saying is true, it's a beautiful childhood memory that means alot for many of us.

💝. 🐬🐬🐬. ✨✨✨✨✨✨
love how the glasses remain after the transmogrification. :)
The movie has kind of a sad undertone when you think about it. Don Knotts' character is basically lonely and kills himself (in the human world) to pursue a better life. It's all about perception, but there is surely a dark undertone of death in this movie, but it is an all-time favorite of mine from my childhood.
it certainly didn't help that Henry's wife Bessie mistreated and dominated him. If you look at it from a positive perspective, they were not meant for each other and were both given a second chance to find their happiness Limpet with Ladyfish and Bessie with George. I remember watching this movie as a kid and crying during Henry's metamorphosis and seeing the aftermath of Henry Limpet's death and transformation. :( :( :(
I never forgot how sad this scene made me feel! I think it was the very first time I ever had an experience of melancholy.
I just suddenly remembered this movie, I can’t believe it was real, it’s so full of wonder and dreamy.
I remember seeing this when I was younger. Thanks for uploading!
I’m considering showing this movie to my kids. I haven’t seen it since I was little and I forgot the story, but I remember I liked it.
I got this movie on dvd when i was very young and i finally found it again. Its what sparked my intrests in aquatic creatures
One of the best movies ever made
Nakia Tillman well it's too tricky for cartoon network to air.
I was 8 yrs old when this movie came out and for the life of me could not figure out Deputy Barney Fife became Mr. Limpet, and then turned into a fish.
@@gatortoob a toon fish voiced by Don Knotts for sure.
One of the best movies ever...try Ghost and Mr. Chicken at Halloween for a wholesome laugh
Love those both
"My whole body is a weapon"
I absolutely love Ghost and Mr. Chicken!
The ORIGINAL "shape of water"
In the late 60's and early 70's, Television had seasonal repeats of certain shows besides the normal holiday specials, this was one of those shows, and as kids we always looked forward to seeing it.
Remember wizard of oz was one of those movies. It only came on once a year. It was such a big deal to gather around the tv with white castle burgers, n gather around the tv so excitedly.
I loved this movie. I was born in '92 to a teen mom (15 at the time), but my grandparents had a very large part of my upbringing. Actually my whole family did. "It takes a village" really fits in my upbringing. My grandparents made sure that they brought me up on music from the 20s up to the 70s. My mother took on from 80s to the present music at the time. When it came to movies, my grandparents made sure that they had my sister and i watch the oldies - the classics. The Sting, Rogers & Hammerstein (SP?), My Fair Lady, Carousel, Oklahoma, The Sound of Music, The King and I, State Fair, Fiddler on the Roof, Wizard of OZ, Laurel and Hardy, Gay Purree, The 7 Heads of Doctor Lao, Jack the Giant Killer, The Saint, The Three Stooges, etc. This movie was one of my favs for sure!
Lady Fish made me feel funny when I was much younger. If I were a fish...
If you're interested what Lady Fish's voice actress looks like, she played Gomer Pyle's girlfriend on the show. Miss Lou Anne Poovie, she was too hot to believe Gomer could get a chick like that.
man, this movie is such a hell of a trip, that's for sure O_O
I was born in the 2000's but I always remembered watching this on the vcr but I could never remember past knowing "it was a guy who wanted to be a fish." Now I know after about 11 years THAT IS CRAZY
Hes sooooooo dreamy... oxygen don’t mean nothin when the fish that fine 😍😍🥰🥰😘😘 #Fishinforlove #caughtabigone
I saw this movie at the Saturday Afternoon Matinee, when it first came out...
No offense, but damn you're old
@@SilverCipher00 I'm old as well. I so remember this movie
lol 2:29 unfortunately most of our rivers and water ways look just like that in 1964..... it water was so cloudy fish had to wear glasses
I used to watch this not long ago, crazy that the whole cast has passed since, except for Carole Cook.
"Be careful, be careful, be caaaaarefulll...."
This is, upon reviewing for the 20th time, quite a well-done transformation sequence, both magical and a little frightening: the setup into this nautical Wonderland rests entirely on Don Knotts's soul-selling wish. The scene darkens- except for the rather Satanic purple and green spotlight, the score becomes creepily suspenseful, and yes, he does reach way, way forward of the pier (which would indicate he jumped rather than accidentally fell in), then the switch from live action to animation is a bit creepy with the skeletal flashes of light.
It is really scary, I remember this
Creepy indeed by being the first cartoon skit.
@@tozheioldvideos7698 so do I, that's the film's first animated segment in mystical matter.
@@bradyanderson6311 right it hits you by surprise and you see all these bright colors with a dark figure turning into a big fish.
@@tozheioldvideos7698 also why it's too tricky for cartoon network to air.
Huh!
And Bessie thought I couldn't swim...
I used to see this on the KTLA family film festival in the 80's all the time. What a strange, but fun movie.
I'm a kid again when I watch this movie.
Best movie of my childhood
I saw this movie when It came out in 1964, I was 5, and It freaked me out!
I grew up in the 70’s and this was one of our favorite movies.
As others have said, there are some mysterious (dark) forces at work here. Even the “be careful” warnings come from somewhere. Perhaps it’s Cthulhu or Dagon reaching out to him. 🤔🐙
LOVED THIS MOVIE DON KNOTTS WAS REALLY QUITE REMARKABLE HIMSELF.
his has been one of my most favorite movies since I was a child, it shows such a unique and gentle side of Don Knotts, bless his heart.
I have a beautiful blue male beta fish named Mister Limpet, and he’s got a sunken German Messerschmitt in his tank.
*I’m saving up for a pink girl beta I’ll name “Lady Fish.” ♥️
Was I the only person who thought this movie was scary??
I'm 57 now, and remember watching it as a child on TV, maybe once a year?? But I remember being scared. I feel like I need to watch it again, to understand why.
My favorite Don Knott's movies are, Incredible Mr. Limpet. Ghost And Mr. Chicken. Shakiest Gun In The West. My favorite being Ghost And Mr. Chicken😊😊
Always loved this, great story and animation.
When Limpet (Don Knotts) jumped and landed into the water, I guess you can call that...
...a KNOTTS LANDING!
I'll give that a 👍. I'm not a snob lol!
😂
I always loved that Movie. Love you too Donna ❤
This is a classic
Someone got me this movie when I was a kid. I can't help but miss it
Man i grew up with this movie and i still reference it every day feeding my small army of fish 😂
I remember watching this many times as a kid in the 80s on the Family Film Festival hosted by Tom Hatten
I’m 31, but my mom had this movie on an old vhs that me and my sisters watched growing up. So many good memories. There was a whole world going on before I got here and I’m so glad to witness the benefits. 😊
Alot of older folks make fun of me for being young until I tell them about all the movies I've seen lol then we relate better
This is one of my all time favorite movies. Totally captured my imagination as a kid.
I THINK THERE WAS A SAD PART....I REMEMBER CRYING ?
Holy moly
Best childhood memory
I love this movie.
0:51 his face: “Wait, what’s that? What’s going on? Oh, boy, this is gonna be good.”
Any kid born in any modern decade will love this movie. Live action + animation.
Be careful what you wish for!😊🐟🐠
I enjoyed this movie as a kid!

Man... Covid fever dreams hit different
A Kafka like fantasy!
I was born after this came out, but I really like this movie.
I don't know how I even remember this scene, I remember sitting either in my parent's bedroom or mine (I don't remember ever having a TV in my room though) and watching this scene.This was years ago, and I always thought it was a realistic fish that he turned into but I guess not...
One of my favorite movies.
I would of loved to see knotts star in the film version of - The shadow over Innsmouth in the 1960's. Lovecraft classic horror story. 😱
I loved this movie when I was a kid💖💯
So wonderful!
Who else was afraid of the transformation as a kid?
Tbh the whole damn movie gave me nightmares
I remember being very worried about Mr. Limpet being unable to go back to being human again.
@@MaximusNYC yea and i wonder if he does
@@scottketchie5703i don't think he ever did. In the movie he did say "tell them they'll never find me." And what better place too never be found is living deep in the ocean. Besides....what about Lady fish? It wouldn't be a happy ending if he left her.
Love this movie.
R.I.P. George, Henry Limpet & Bessie Limpet
I love this show
Yes i grew in the 60,s and 70's I love this movie
This is a Superhero movie.
I loved this movie.
This is like someone had a fever dream and wrote down every detail
Well, I’m just like you Mr. Limpet, only the difference was, I were I were a dolphin because I love dolphins.🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬
A love this😍
Love the roar lol rrrrrrrrooooooooaaaaaa 😂😎
Awesome 👏🏻.
Don Knotts transitioned well into movies imo. Was 7 or 8 when this came out. Loved it, Ghost and Mr. Chicken, too. And even with the iconic Barney Fife barely behind him, I didn't once see him as Barney at all. No trace of that character. Didn't care much for Mr. Furley later on, though.
Ya'll forgettin Don Knotts in The Shakiest Gun in the West, and The Apple Dumpin Gang.
He was also in Pleasantville!
We all know why Henry's transformation was shown in 2D animation, but the background music and sound effects make it creepy in a way.
I just remembered this movie and i shared with my mom how much I loved this movie but she doesn't remember the movie much and she was surprised that I remember the movie.
So fried right now Nd I searched up “Guy wishes he was a fish movie” 💀😭🤣 I grew up wit this movie 💀 Haven’t seen it for years!!
Is it just me or is there a wizard, a witch or a genie in there?
I was five years old when I viewed this Film 📽️
Based on a true story!
It's a beautiful movie.
If this film ever gets remade or rebooted, I would love if, instead of a realistic CGI fish, that they make it like a 3D animated film. That way it keeps the soul of the original but modernized well
Well...since they've already petes dragon in 3d animation, anything (i guess) is possible.
OMG!! I haven't seen this since I was a kid in the early 70s. Lol!!
This is the one I was looking for! Not that bloody Water Babies.
I sure wish I could get this classic movie on DVD
2:44 And Bessie thought I couldn’t swim.
"He doesn't even know how to swim!"
Mr. Limpet: *Swims mockingly
Me: HOW THE HECK DO YOU NOT KNOW HOW TO SWIM IF YOU OBSERVE FISH IN YOUR FREE TIME!? Like?!?! HAVE YOU NEVER ONCE GONE THE OCCEAN NEAR YOUR HOUSE AND GO SWIMMING?
i deadass thought this movie was a fever dream
I'm watching it right now 6:30pm June 12,I seen it years ago . Funny movie.
Incredible Mr Olympic along with Chitty Chitty bang bang, and The sound of music 🚬 I saw all these movies being a member of church thanks to Mom and Pop and the youth program.
2:00 So it begins, His wish has granted.
When I was a kid, the transformation scene was always cut for some reason, they would show it in the promo for that week, but when it would air, it was cut. I am not sure why, maybe they thought it was to intense to see a man change to a fish?
I think they were afraid children would drown throwing themselves off of piers trying to become fish.
This isn't the full scene, but I never realized how easy they just give up and just go home after a few attempts to find him. I think George was just eager to get with Henry's wife.
@@JENDALL714 Why did Bessie ever bother marrying Henry in the first place?
This movie is basically a Twilight Zone episode from Disney
Warner Bros.
💝. WOW.
I almost succesfully forgot about this movie, thanks google feud for bringing back my nightmares from 2-3 years ago. ;∼;
This movie got Don Knotts out of Andy Griffith's shadow. Don's Universal Pictures Contract may have been a result of "Limpet".
The OA brought me here!
I still don't understood how he turned into a fish. Is it magic? Reincarnation?
Harrison Littrell
He wished to be a fish.
Fishful thinking.
@@pippishortstocking7913 the affection by a magical electrocution and dark warning by angels.
“Reverse evolution”
@@omnipenne9101that would make sense. Considering he was reading that book. But.....the question is.....how could it happen so fast. Unless it was some kind of magic. After all...evolution takes million years. He said so.
I need to check out this movie if I can find it some where in the store or in the Library!
Hey! That fish is wearing glasses!
Who else hasnt seen this is 70 years, and as soon as you saw it, you expected Tom Hatten to show up and draw a Popeye cartoon?
I remember seeing something similar too this…
I haven’t seen this in over a decade
