Shark Tale Review
by Johnny Betts (Rating: 2/5)
Well. That was quite unimpressive. To be honest, I didn't really expect much from the movie, but I certainly expected more than this, especially when you look at the talent they had to work with. The movie *looks* pretty good, and it's technically sound,...more

Shark Tale Review

Dreamworks and Disney and Warner Brothers and Pixar, as animation studios, all have sought to find their own voice in an industry only recently beginning to be taken as seriously as the work deserves. Obviously, of these two groups, Disney and Warner...more

Shark Tale Review
by Robin Clifford (Rating: C)
Oscar (voice of Will Smith) is a cleaner wrasse working at the reef whale wash. He is tired of being a nobody and dreams of a life atop the reef where he can be "somebody." Lenny (voice of Jack Black) is a Great White Shark with a terrible secret – he's...more

Shark Tale Review
by Laura Clifford (Rating: C)
Oscar's (Will Smith, "Ali") dreams involve so much more than his job at the Whale Wash, where his 'best friend' Angie (Renee Zellweger, "Cold Mountain"), the front office girl, dreams of more than friendship. The little bright yellow fish ends up in the...more

Shark Tale Review
by JoBlo (Rating: 7/10)
PLOT: A hip fish named Oscar finds himself in hot water as his $5000 debt to loan "sharks" lands him with a one-way ticket into a Filet-O-Fish. Luckily for him, a troubled shark accidentally saves his butt, only to result in the death of his less...more

Shark Tale Review
by Jon Popick (Rating: 5/10)
It's impossible to watch Shark Tale and not think about Finding Nemo. The duo represent Round Two in the animation battle (with similar themes) between DreamWorks and Pixar, and the former fares so poorly, they wish Steve Jobs would gnaw a chunk out of...more

Shark Tale Review
by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 2/4)
Dreamworks' SHARK TALE is a disappointing series of sight gags lost at sea in search of a story. Although it has its moments, it isn't a movie that holds your attention. You're more likely to be surprised to find yourself laughing than waiting in...more

Shark Tale Review
by Mark R. Leeper (Rating: 7/10)
CAPSULE: Dreamscape's latest animated film is set in a sort of undersea urban environment and should entertain the whole family. The story is familiar but the jokes come in a rapid fire. Rating: low +2 (-4 to +4) or 7/10 more

Shark Tale Review
by Chris McGeachy
It's a big ocean out there - and obviously Dreamworks felt that there was room for two big fishes in a sea of riches when they decided to do a Finding Nemo of their own. Oscar (Will Smith) is a small and unimportant fish in a big ocean; that is until...more

Shark Tale Review

The battle of competing, similar-themed computer animated films from Pixar and Dreamworks goes into round two. Dreamworks' Antz and Pixar's A Bug's Life were evenly matched in 1998, but now it's 2004. Can Shark Tale, the latest Dreamworks undersea...more

Shark Tale Review
by Liam Cullin (Rating: 5.5/10)
DreamWorks has Antz. Disney/Pixar has A Bug's Life. Disney/Pixar has Finding Nemo. Now DreamWorks Animation has Shark Tale. And here's my only comparison. Finding Nemo will do to Shark Tale what A Bug's Life did to Antz - destroy it at the box office....more
