Fun for the kids but adults will get the hidden gags and in-jokes.

Rating: 8/10 (3 September 2008)

Oscar (Voiced by Will Smith) works at the local Whale Wash hoping one day... he could be a real somebody. When Oscar is mistaking for killing the mob boss Lino's son (Voiced by Michael Imperioli). Now Oscar calls himself a shark-slayer to defend his reputation. Oscar finds himself an new friend with the outcast vegetarian shark Lenny (Voiced by Jack Black), who's hiding from the fierce shark in the waters... his father Lino (Voiced by Two Time Oscar-Winner:Robert De Niro). Now Oscar and Lenny have to help each other from the accidental mess, they have made for themselves.
Directed by Vicky Jenson (Shrek), Bibo Bergeron (The Road to El Dorado) and Rob Letterman made an amusing CGI animated film with a lively vocal performances & it has some big genuine laughs. One of the most successful things about "Shark Tale" is the CGI Characters that truly looked and acted like the big Hollywood stars... especially Smith and Oscar-Winning Filmmaker:Martin Scorsese. This was another successful CGI film like "The Shrek Films" or "Madagascar" but not as critically acclaimed.
DVD has an sharp anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an strong Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. DVD has an ingraining commentary track by the filmmakers, featurettes and more. "Shark Tale" is basically an good movie for the kids but adults will probably enjoy this the most. Fans of De Niro's/Scorsese's work will enjoy their CGI animated characters. Worth seeing. (*** 1/2 out of *****).
