Fish Tales is a 1936 Looney Tunes short directed by Jack King.
Plot[]
Porky Pig is going fishing, but his boat strays off course. He is eventually able to control it and catches several fish, but then falls asleep with the line in the water. While he is asleep, a fish sees Porky's dream and brings him home to his family. Porky manages to escape, but has encounters with other sea creatures. He is saved when he awakens and decides to throw his catch back into the water and leave.

Notes[]
- The print Warner Bros. created in the early 1990s to use for the computer-colorization mistakenly had the opening music for "Rover's Rival" put over the opening titles for this cartoon.
- Due to the Porky Pig 101 DVD release and the 2020 remaster using the same audio source, this error persists with those prints.
- At the end of the cartoon, Porky wakes up without his shirt, despite the fact he only lost it in the dream when the fish cut it away.
- A picture of a fish on a plate is hanging on the wall with the caption “Uncle Norm”, a reference to musician Norman Spencer and/or animator Norman McCabe.
- Jack King's short "Buddy's Bug Hunt" from the previous year had a similar plot to this. The Little Audrey short "The Seapreme Court" has a similar plot to this one.
