About

A vain, glittering Rainbow Fish, voiced by Jannik Schümann, loses a precious scale and sets off into the deep sea with Little Blue Fish.

The Rainbow Fish is the most beautiful fish in the ocean, thanks to his shimmering, glittering scales. But he is also vain and proud, and his behaviour drives the other sea creatures away, leaving him increasingly lonely. When he loses one of his precious glittering scales, it is Little Blue Fish who accompanies him on a search into the deepest part of the sea. In Florian Moch's animated family film, Jannik Schümann voices Rainbow Fish and Luna Wedler voices Little Blue Fish. The story follows the two on an adventurous sea voyage through a colourful underwater community.
