Synopsis
A wacky short about the variety of life under the sea, viewed from a glass-bottomed boat. There's little chance that you'll get Professor Fishface confused with Jacques Cousteau. After all, Cousteau dressed much better. But seriously, folks, the professor is doing his best to bring back the rarest shark ever seen. Come spend a few minutes with him as he goes deep to discover ocean mysteries that probably never existed anywhere but Burbank, California.

Fresh Fish
The voices on this cartoon were all done by Robert. C Bruce Jr. He was my father and did many Merrie Melodies and Warner Brothers cartoons from 1939-1957. He was usually the narrator or on cartoons with no star he did all the voices.
