Seeing The Shape Of Water had me thinking of other movies that tell of some remarkable creature with a human friend who will engineer it's escape from the authorities.
The earliest one I can think of is Mighty Joe Young (1949). Others are E.T. (1982) and Pete's Dragon (2016).
Are there any other movies that fit this description?

Splash! And it's a good comedy. Of course, Hanks has sex with the mermaid over and over and over. But not while she is a fish. He was totally ignorant of that when he had sex with her. But, in the end, he did run away with her to live in that underwater city while Rita Coolidge sang. When he is with her, he is ok underwater. Pretty amazing.
