Plot

The series revolves around outgoing fish Milo, his nervous brother Oscar, as well as their "overly dramatic" friend Bea Goldfishberg. They attend a school known as Fresh Water High, submerged in an aquarium in a pet store. The series chronicles their daily lives as they deal with everything, from eel attacks and field trips to romance and homework.

Production

In 2009, President of entertainment Gary Marsh said of the show, "The Fish Hooks team has created one of the most original, inventive animated series on television – bringing an ingenious twist to the classic archetypes of high school life." The series will be produced using a mix of 2D digital animation and photo collages.[4] The series is created and co-executive produced by children's book illustrator Noah Z. Jones and developed for television by Alex Hirsch and Bill Reiss.[5] Main and recurring cast were announced in a Disney Channel press release on August 26, 2010.
