For such a ridiculously named film, it's surprisingly dark.

I personally like how the music just cuts off, allowing the fact that he just died by drowning to hit us on a disturbing level.

certainly one of the best and most creative villain deaths ever :-)

Im just imagining how some random fishers would react if they caught Joe's corpse. Some tiny, human/fish like mutate. Pure nightmare fuel right there.

A moment of slice for Alan Rickman the world will never forget you. rest in peace.

I call that death by logic

I love how initially he's gleeful about becoming a Human, seeming to think of it as an upgrade of sorts, and for a subtle animation bit, 1:09 you can see his eyes look to the side as he put things together right before the end

I love how the potion reveals his true ugly self before killing him.

Wow...this was pretty disturbing...

If you choose to get REALLY technical and specific, the egg came before the chicken, because eggs existed long before chickens did.

One of my all time favorite childhood animated film's and i still love this film.Also this scene is prety disturbing for younger audience and the only thing that creeped me the most in this film as a kid R.I.P Alan Rickman

R.İ.P. Alan Rickman. Thank you for voicing a (not so) genius evil fish and playing an evil judge,best version of Sherrif of Nottingham and Hans Gruber.

I can't believe Fly straight-up murdered the villain

You would think a genius fish would know better than to turn into a human underwater

Well, that's one of the few moments in a kids movie where the bad guy dies ON-SCREEN. Disney, take notes.

I love this death scene. It's creative and creepy.

R.I.P. Alan Rickman this was one if your best films

This is one of the occasions that a human form is the weak form.

Wow. That was DARK.

Stage 1: Fish Stage 2: still fish but with a weird looking brain, bigger lips, one human finger per arm and teeth got a bit far from each other Stage 3: brain got a bit bigger , generates legs, skin sheds in a big rate, bones generated outside from his spine and from his arms and his teeth get decreased. Stage 4: formed a complete set of teeth, arms and legs converted into a more human like form with more muscle, formed a more human like neck, brain got bigger covering a large area of his left eye, previous fish lips from jaw get removed, generated human like ears, formed a massive spine, got more hair, fish breathing system got replaced by human breathing system thus unable to breath water to get oxygen and so while he speaks to stage 4, Joe didn't realize that while he was speaking, he was running out of oxygen and the moment when he realises he's a human, he inhales a highly potentially harmful amount of water and so when he said 'of course not' that moment he ran out of breath and he was unable to get any oxygen in his current state and he instantly got suffocated and died

1:15 the moment when Fly accidentally saw his junk and wished he never saw it

1:12 At that moment Joe realized he fucked up

I can just imagine his body just floating around out in the ocean and someone stumbles upon it. I don't know why it just seems really creepy to me :l

Nostalgia Critic: A FAMILY picture!

Got to love the Europeans. The don't pull their punches when it comes to childrens entertainment.

That was rather dark... And disturbing...

1:14 that's my face when I get a A+

Oh god that's dark...

Wow, he straight-up died. Don't see much like that in a kid's movie.

Dang, for a movie aimed at kids, that was a pretty disturbing death!

RIP Joe. The potion killed him in slow motion.

Alan Rickman voice... 😍😍😍

It took him becoming a human to realize how a human could die. Bravo! But what I can't understand is how he was able to solve math and science problems without prior knowledge. I mean, he drank the junk to expand his brain, but did it also give him access to Wikipedia too?

If he survived, then he would start owning his company on land.

JESUS THIS IS HORRIFIC

Something about this death just rubs me the wrong way... It might be the lack of music as Joe just drifts down the pipe.

God, I don't remember Joe when I saw the film when I was young, but this is some creepy shit, sorta looks like it would suit a Disney, Warner Bros or even Don Bluth, don't ask why it just seems like it..

This used to scare the poop outta me!

I made a "Wanted" poster on him when I was a child.

Damn. Snape let himself go.

RIP Alan Rickman

this film wasn't quite what I expected with this scene

Your smart but not to smart are you Joe

This was so disturbing to me. I mean you can see his spine and brain growing out of his body

Sleeping with the fishes, literally

fly wins fishtality

Here's an interesting question- if a human can't breath underwater, how was Joe able to talk so much until he started to suffocate?

Don't mess with genetics, kids.

Is that his hacking BRAIN growing on the HACKING OUTSIDE OF HIS HEAD?!

This used to terrify me!! (still does).

R.I.P. Alan Rickman

His intelligence was his own downfall...

This is both creepy and disturbing at the highest level 😨😨😨

Did Joe just gain omniscience before his death?

Breaking news: a man with torn clothes was found dead inside of an seawater pipe

I remember watching this as a kid and not being scared, instead I was amazed how smart that was

A family picture

ALAN RICKMAN!!!

He was killed by his literal thirst for knowledge...

That moment of karma 1:07

Joe is starting to look like a creepier version of "The Joker" himself!

I guess Joe didn’t think this all the way through after all.

"Who's joe?" "Can a human breathe underwater?"

He's intelligent enough to calculate the squareroot of 6561 in mere seconds but not figure out that the egg predates the chicken? (Birds-Dinosaurs-Fish) Before them was most likely the plants.

So a object that travles in a speed of light turns into pure energy?

Help! I'm a Human

Rickman’s got a nice... ahem

I LOVE SNAPE!

Wow! I used to be not be phased by this scene at all as a child, I just thought it was a practically normal villain death. But looking at it now, it's actually pretty bleak and... HORRIFYING!!

I just love the way he silently drifts away as he drowns. That tickled me in the funny bone!

That was sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine homer finding his dead corpse or any popular cartoon finding his corpse

Kids' films used to have an undercurrent of horror just below the surface. Not anymore

Scary stuff

0:36 Stage 3 0:41 Stage 4 0:52 Stage 5

I saw this scene before I saw the movie. So I thought during the climax he would get pumped into the piranha tank and eaten.

I just realized something, if drinking that stuff made him smarter how did he not see that coming?

Joe shark and the crab

I don't know how I ran into this video but decided to watch just for the hell of it. This looks pretty dark for a kids movie.

OK, all you soccer-moms out there, I have a question. Why is it that a fish can sprout bones from his arms and back, rip skin off, have teeth fall out, and have a lower jaw rot and fall off and that's OK but a cross-eyed Pegasus isn't? You silly parents really need to work on your priorities.

Imanol Lopez Romero: drinking antidote and grown brain, and become human 0:34 0:42 0:50

Smart little fishy

Did that kid just drown that guy? Jesus.

1:07 There's one way Joe can be defeated, or should i say drowned.

Jeez what a way to go

Great villain ever (r.i.p) he my fav actors

if only joe used his intelligence for good instead of evil.

I love the animation when he transforms.

Umm, is it just me or does Joe sound a hell of a lot like Snape?

R.I.P Alan Rickman.

Surely he would have been smart enough to realize that humans can't breath without having to take the potion

It's a little inaccurate; if Joe became human, he wouldn't be talking perfect speech under water now would he?

Alan Rickman's last breath

Makes me wonder why he didn't just try holding his breath upon finding out humans couldn't breathe underwater? Maybe by then it was too late.

Nothing unsuitable for children

In 2009, ANT1 celebrated its 20th anniversary, but the logo did not change.

This came out in 2001, either I don't remember seeing this as a child in a trailer, or it was shown in specific theaters.

Kind of a Gary Mitchell kind of deal where Joe asked for none of this.

1:13 Joe: Wait! You tricked me, you rotten little brat!

It's a good thing Stella didn't see this.
