Description: A comic catch from the studio that brought you Shrek, Shark Tale is a hilarious hit and "a wonderful under-the-sea adventure for movie lovers of all ages!" (Clay Smith, Access Hollywood) Oscar (Will Smith), a lowly tongue-scrubber at the local Whale Wash, becomes an improbable hero when he tells a great white lie. To keep his secret, Oscar teams up with an outcast vegetarian shark, Lenny (Jack Black), and the two become the most unlikely of friends. When his lie begins to unravel, it’s up to Oscar’s loyal friend Angie (Renée Zellweger) and Lenny to help him stand up to the most feared shark in the water (Robert De Niro) and find his true place in the reef.
Amazon.com: When a shark accidentally clobbers himself, a small fish named Oscar (voiced by Will Smith, I, Robot) just happens to be around, prompting everyone to believe that he killed the shark himself. This lie soon makes Oscar a celebrity, worshipped by the general mass of fish, wooed by a glittering golddigger (Angelina Jolie, Girl, Interrupted), missed by his best friend (Renee Zellweger, Cold Mountain)--and hunted by the godfather of great whites (Robert De Niro, Goodfellas). Can a vegetarian shark named Lenny (Jack Black, School of Rock) get Oscar out of this mess? The formulaic story of Shark Tale never reaches the giddy heights of Pixar's output (Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc., Toy Story) or the freewheeling comedy of Shrek, but it's capably told and impeccably animated--the sheer technical skill is stunning. Kids won't get the mobster jokes or the other pop-culture references, but they'll enjoy it nonetheless. --Bret Fetzer
Way different than Nemo This is a good film for all ages. It has a different storyline than Finding Nemo so please don't use that as a reference. Alot of ppl are comparing them and the only thing that is the same is they're looking for a son and thats only part of this film. My 5 and 3 y/o love this film and think it's very funny.
Loud, and annoying Terrible! This movie was nothing like Finding Nemo. Loud and obnoxious. I have too many horrible things to say, but what I can tell you is to get Finding Nemo.......
Everyone loves this DVD This is a family fun movie. Great quality and an adventure underwater, funny and thrilling animation.
Good movie 'Shark Tale' is a movie filled with movie and pop culture references. The movie has many colourful scenes and the plot, will not perfect, passes. Unfortunately I did not feel about the characters too much, with the odd exception. Maybe if it focused more on the storyline and characters and made this movie more heartwarming, this would be a better film. The fact that potty jokes and pop culture references outnumber heartwarming and memorable lines and scenes, this is a good movie, but not a great one. The music works with the movie and although the songs won't be to everyone's taste, the genre was definitely the right one.
What's the big deal with "adult" humor? A lot of kids' movies have an underlying adult theme. Big deal. We love this movie. In fact, my son has been watching it since he was 2 and has never been scared or confused by the adult themes in it. He also has never said the fish look creepy. In fact, everytime we go to the video store he wants to rent this movie and he'll watch it from beginning to end. He sees sharks and fish and a good story. That's it. I think it's absolutely appropriate for children. He "gets it" in his own 3 year old way. I'm actually on here today to buy the movie since we end up renting it so often.
