Tim Burton's 2003 film 'Big Fish' became available for free streaming on Tubi on August 1, 2026. The story follows Will Bloom, played by Billy Crudup, as he attempts to reconnect with his father Edward Bloom, portrayed by Albert Finney, who is on his deathbed. The narrative includes flashbacks featuring Ewan McGregor as a younger Edward who describes extraordinary encounters, such as meeting a giant and a seven‑foot catfish. The film was released between Burton's 2001 remake of 'Planet of the Apes' and his 2005 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. It employs a bright visual palette and presents a whimsical storyline without the director's usual German Expressionist aesthetic. The soundtrack includes songs by Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly and Canned Heat. The movie has been mentioned infrequently in discussions of Burton's body of work. The streaming addition may broaden access to the film.
