* GainaxEnding: The last minute or so of the cartoon grows increasingly strange. The monk follows the fish into more and more absurd places--he tries to catch the fish as the fish leaps between earthen jars of water, then he chases the fitch through what appears to be the Erie Canal, with the Pyramids in the background. Then the monk and the fish start floating away together more peacefully, then they start to ''fly'', eventually flying off away into the clouds together as the cartoon ends.

''The Monk and the Fish'' (Le Moine et le poisson) is a 1994 animated short film directed by Michael Dudok de Wit.
The simple story involves, well, a monk and a fish. A monk in an abbey is obsessed with catching a fish that swims around in the abbey's water reservoir. The monk first tries to catch the fish with a simple rod. When that doesn't work the monk gets a net. When ''that'' doesn't work he tries a bow and arrow...and then he tries to enlist his fellow monks...and then he just dives in, as he grows increasingly frantic in his efforts to catch the fish.
