Review: Fish Hooks “Everything but the Chicken Sink”

Spoilers Below

When a wealthy chicken hires Bea to give swimming lessons to his difficult teenage daughter, she soon finds that the task is easier said than done because at first the chicken is completely unwilling to learn and would instead just run away. Eventually, Bea finds ‘Chloe’ and sings her a song to convince her to come back and give swimming another try. Unfortunately her dad shows up at the end of the day, but thanks to Milo and Oscar’s stunt he’s not only mad but Bea’s friends start to drown. Thankfully, Chloe is able to go into the pool and save the guys which is good because Oscar has LOTS of complaining to do! Bea ends up getting paid and is promised a good review for her swim school, but she gets paid in corn nuts? YUM!!!

Unfortunately, I didn’t quite get this episode from the start. Why would all of the fish be getting into bathing suits to go swimming in a pool IN WHICH THEY LIVE IN! That’s like coming home only to sleep on the floor of your bedroom. Then the climax sees Milo and Oscar almost drowning, but why?  They soon make the point that they are fish and they can’t drown, so that WHOLE part was really for no good reason other than for a lame save sequence. Even though the chickens were really funny, this one should have stayed in the oven a little while longer cuz it came out raw.
