Winnie the Pooh Meets The Incredible Mr. Limpet is an upcoming film to be made by CarltonHeroes. It will appear in a near future.
Plot[]
The story begins in 1964, where George Stickle (a high-ranking naval officer) and Admiral Harlock discuss how porpoises in the ocean are displaying unique characteristics and suspect that a former top-secret asset, Henry Limpet, may be teaching the creatures these abilities.
The story flashes back to September 1941 just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Henry Limpet, a shy bookkeeper, loves fish with a passion. His friend George Stickle is a machinist in the United States Navy. Limpet's wife Bessie is fiercely patriotic, so Limpet tries to enlist, but he is rejected because of his poor eyesight.
While Stickle is on leave, he visits Limpet and Bessie, and they go to Coney Island, where Limpet accidentally falls off a pier, into the water and turns into a fish. Since he never resurfaces, Bessie and George assume he has drowned.
The fish Limpet, complete with his signature pince-nez spectacles, discovers a new-found ability during some of his initial misadventures: a powerful underwater roar, his "thrum". He makes friends with Crusty, a misanthropic hermit crab. After saving a female fish he names Ladyfish (the concept of names being unknown to her), he falls in love with her.
After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Limpet directs a Navy convoy to a nearby German U-boat. Determined to help the Navy on an ongoing basis, Limpet contacts the convoy and requests to see George. With George's help, Limpet gets himself commissioned by the Navy, complete with an advanced rank and a salary, which he sends to Bessie. He helps the Navy locate Nazi U-boats by signaling with his "thrum", and plays a large part in the Allied victory in the Battle of the Atlantic. In his final mission, he is nearly killed when the Nazis develop a "thrum"-seeking torpedo and is further handicapped by the loss of his spectacles. He manages to survive using Crusty as his "navigator", and sinks U-boats by redirecting their torpedoes. After the battle, he swims to Coney Island to say goodbye to Bessie, who gives him a replacement set of glasses. He then swims off with Ladyfish.
In the film's coda, back in 1964, George and the Admiral travel out to sea to contact Limpet about whether he is training the porpoises. The results of their conversation remain unknown, as the movie ends with a question mark, but many "thrum"s are heard.
