I'm one of those folks who saw The Incredible Mr. Limpet as a kid, so my viewpoint may be slightly skewed, but I still kind of like it. Not as much as I did as a kid, but found it still has some charm. All the performances are solid enough, the real life/animation combination still works, and the basic story is still good. I guess in some respects, or at some point in each life, we can all feel like a fish out of water. I don't think I've ever seen Don Knotts in anything but the Andy Griffith Show, but I found him to be a good match for this material. This is a film both children and adults can all enjoy.
