Beautiful film. Funny, lovable characters, memorable lines. Worth a watch or several.
This was one of my childhood movies. Watching it again I'm just as entertained as I was when I was 6. It's just great. Sad that Dreamworks is not making movies like this and Shrek anymore.
Continuing my plan to watch every Will Smith movie in order, I come to Shark Tale (2004)Plot In A Paragraph: When a son of a gangster shark boss is accidentally killed while on the hunt, his would-be prey and his vegetarian brother decide to use the incident to their own advantage.When done well, animated movies can be a joy to all ages. The Toy Story trilogy, Up, Lion King, All Dogs Go To Heaven and Shrek are all in my collection. This movie seems largely forgotten about, whilst perfectly fine and well voiced, it always felt off to me. The target audience is obviously kids, but the movie is based around The Godfather. A movie very few who went to see this will have known, let alone seen. The movie doesn't follow the plot of Godfather, the problem with this story is that the movie seems to aim it at an older audience. Do kids care that Oscar wants to clear his debt with the loan sharks and become rich and famous?? Or what about the love triangle that he finds himself in?? Yawn. Too tame and dull for the adults, and there is nobody the target audience can identify with. All of the major characters are adults, with adult problems like debt, and romance, which has the characters doing way too much talking. The movie went into gross $160 million at the domestic box office, to end 2004 as the 11th highest grossing movie of the year.
I personally think this is a good movie, yes there are better animated movies out there but i still think this movie deserves more than a 6.0 as an overall rating. It is a great family movie.I enjoyed this movie years ago and still enjoy watching it now, i think it is very funny for an animated movie, and i am sure many people will think the same. It has some great actors / actresses doing the voices for the characters. I would recommend this movie if you are a big animation fan. It has good music too. I also like the story line, sweet...Well worth a 7 / 10... maybe even more.
