The Monk and the Fish	comment	The Monk and the Fish (Le Moine et le poisson) is a 1994 animated short film directed by Michael Dudok de Wit.The simple story involves, well, a monk and a fish. A monk in an abbey is obsessed with catching a fish that swims around in the abbey's water reservoir. The monk first tries to catch the fish with a simple rod. When that doesn't work the monk gets a net. When that doesn't work he tries a bow and arrow...and then he tries to enlist his fellow monks...and then he just dives in, as he grows increasingly frantic in his efforts to catch the fish.

The Monk and the Fish / int_82accf22	type	Gainax Ending
The Monk and the Fish / int_82accf22	comment	Gainax Ending: The last minute or so of the cartoon grows increasingly strange. The monk follows the fish into more and more absurd places—he tries to catch the fish as the fish leaps between earthen jars of water, then he chases the fish through what appears to be the Suez Canal, with the Pyramids in the background. Then the monk and the fish start floating away together more peacefully, then they start to fly, eventually flying off away into the clouds together as the cartoon ends.

The Monk and the Fish / int_b0218885	comment	Mickey Mousing: The action is usually synchronized with the music. When the fish leaps up out of the pool a single clarinet note sounds; when the monk goes capering down the walkway a series of clarinet notes pipe.

The Monk and the Fish / int_d9cf40fa	comment	Screw This, I'm Outta Here: At one point the monk, increasingly desperate, calls all the other monks out to help catch the fish. They all get to the reservoir, the monk points to the water, the other monks take one look, then they turn around and leave.
