        I don’t know if you remember the controversy around Wanda. Wanda was not a fish, which sparked a media firestorm about who is appropriate for various roles, appropriation, and other topics the movie-going public was decidedly not ready for. It harkened back to the controversy around the Lassie movies.

        Anyway, that movie almost single-handedly precipitated the end of fish in movie production. For some it was a victory, for others, it was a significant setback that signaled a nadir in human/fish relations.

        And it set the stage for the 2010s and Taylor Swift.
