The animation's not that bad actually. The voice acting and characters are pretty decent and the story's ok. There's not much to say as it's better if you watch it yourself.

This is a generic ganster movie disguised as a kids film. It has product placement out the wazoo. And the only reason it's animated was to leech off the sucess of Finding Nemo; I'm dead serious, the story itself would not change if you made it live action and set it in New York. Aside from that; the "characters" are shot like humans are shot in live action (because this movie was made by hacks), the voice acting is terrible, the "characters" are boring stereotypes, the plot is generic, the color pallet is ugly, the characters are ugly, the environment is ugly, and since I'm reviewing this movie in 2018, I can say this feels so dated and disgusting.Skip this trash and watch Finding Nemo.

Some people think that this movie, is just trash. Maybe... maybe. But i would like to say, what other movie can boast a fish, that becomes friends with a shark, that then work together to help save a car wash. You don't see plots like that in transformers do you? Well, it is transformers, and not a fish film. BUT, ITS SHARK TALE. If you think shark tale is uninspired, you know what. your uninspired. Shark Tale is a masterpiece, you snobs just don't know what art is.

Shark Tale is one of those movies that you can tell is just a thinly veiled excuse to make money. The problems with the film are pretty obvious. The film has all these big names that you know they only got to draw in big audiences, and there are a bunch of really bad puns. I'm not even kidding about that. The puns in this movie make A Bee Movie look funny. Oscar (Will Smith) is a cool hip hop fish in the underwater city, works at a "whale wash", and he's being admired by his coworker Angie (Renee Zellweger). But not all is well for Oscar as he owes money to his boss Sykes (Martin Scorsese) and he can't pay it off. Well Oscar inadvertently meets a vegetarian shark named Lenny (Jack Black) after it looks like Oscar killed Lenny's brother Frankie (Michael Imperioli). This is bad news because Lenny's father is the shark mafia boss Don Lino (Robert De Niro). Oscar and Lenny then make it look like Oscar killed Lenny making him the shark slayer so Lenny can run away and start a new life. Spoiler alert! We have to go through the liar revealed story again. I understand why they put that in kid's films but it get's old and predictable. But the real problem with Shark Tale is the idea. The story isn't done very well and you know right from the get go that this was an excuse to make money and throw in some pop culture references. Think about it. When you see the characters, you don't see the characters you just see the actors playing them. You now they choose them because of the names and nothing else. Smith's character is also annoying and to be honest a bit of a jerk. There are some moments when the film is enjoyable, particularly with De Niro and Scorsese, but even here you can't shed the light that you are watching De Niro and Scorsese. Honestly I really don't recommend it.
