"Sea Monkeys" -- the movie

A sea monkey and a gentleman
--a movie review of "Umizaru" The Japan Times: June 16, 2004
...."Umizaru (Sea Monkeys)," an action movie based on a popular manga appearing in Shukan Young Sunday magazine. This time the heroes are Japan Coast Guardsmen training to be divers -- an elite group that constitutes only 1 percent of the JCG force. Think "An Officer and a Gentleman" in wet suits. To qualify, the trainees have to survive a 50-day course that is hell on earth -- or rather in the deep end of the pool.

"A bowlfull of happiness - instant pets"

I think the South Park interpretation of the classic Sea-monkey fable has to be regarded as the definitive one.
"During a period of exciting discovery or progress there is no time to plan the perfect headquarters. The time for that comes later, when all the important work has been done. Perfection, we know, is finality; and finality is death."
