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

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 (Rene 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.

Pig! Pig! Pig! Junk.... (2009-07-27)

Just an all around bad film that I really don't feel is appropriate for kids. As others have noted, the racial stereotypes are about as bad as you can get, the kids in the film get praised for their... (More)

A Rooster! A Tall Tale (2009-03-11)

Shark Tale is one hour and thirty minutes long and was released on October 1, 2004. Shark Tale tells the story of Oscar (voice by Will Smith) who dreams of being somebody, but in real life is nothing... (More)

A Cow Ok, But Not Great. (2009-02-15)

The animation is Ok. But the storyline is poor. It stalls, and meanders. The casual way mobsters are portrayed is not acceptable for kids viewing. (More)
