Shrek: Totally Tangled Tales[]
In one of the storybook animations, the Fisherman holds the Magic Flounder, who sparkles in his hands. The Fisherman's Wife giggles, ready to have her wishes granted by the fish. However, the Fisherman lets the Flounder roam free, causing the wife to hit him in frustration.
Various trivia questions reference the Flounder's abilities to grant wishes, and the initial act of being set free by the Fisherman. It wasn't until his wife knew of the fish that the man caught him again in order to grant her wishes.
