Tiddler

Tiddler, the tale of a little fish with a big imagination. Every day he creates a new story to entertain his classmates, and especially his best friend Johnny Dory. One morning, while dreaming up his latest story, Tiddler gets lost in the middle of the ocean. He has no hope of getting home until he hears a familiar story and is saved by his own storytelling.
