It is PRECISELY about the innocence of life and how a little fish gets thrown into a big pond...and survives. Mamoulian would have been an interesting choice, I'll grant you that. But Cooper? He would have given the 'aw-shucks' you mention the utmost treatment...much more so than Stewart. Sir, you absolutely missed the point of the entire film.
