The story feels a bit bla. Very Typical

Rating: 6/10 (5 April 2014)

As a concept for this movie, I have to say this is a pretty typical story falling in the same lines as Dragonheart or other 'fake something to get famous' story lines. You know that soon the guy will be found out and that he will end up having to do something to make up for it. What I guess I wouldn't see is that Will Smith would have a face as fish but I guess being a blood cell would change a guy (Osmosis Jones). This show is very different then 'Finding Nemo' in that it's not a heart warming story but pretty much a make it or break it story. I find it slightly boring in that aspect since you pretty much knew exactly how the story would pan out. It's a simple story, city plagued by mobsters, one man that is on the bottom of the ladder wants to become better but he doesn't know how till he pretends he has done something really high and mighty to get there, screwing it up in the end.
The character Oscar is a really predictable character. He is a man who can never really catch a break no matter what he does. He tries to become rich but then crashes to the ground. Soon he becomes a liar just to get on the top and ends up hurting those around him. Lenny on the other hand is a black sheep of the family who wants to just be left alone. I think Lenny's story is much more interesting although again, very cliché. There really isn't that much of a difference between other movies I watched with the same basic outline and it makes me feel bla about the show. They could of taken it much farther but came up short.
The animation is pretty good, characters look more like humans then fish in the face and movement but still retain their fishy way of swimming instead of trying to walk on the bottom like some other shows. Textures look like they are where they are supposed to be and make everything real looking and popping out but the colors make it more childish. It has pretty much a perfect balance between 'real life' and animation. Some character designs have been made for the fish that it's supposed to be to a point that if you look up the type of fish they represented, it would look very close.
Angelina Jolie, Jack Black, Will Smith and a couple other big names and voices are some of the bigger parts. I don't really have a problem with any of the voices in the main cast, though the problems I see are that some of them have been rather stereotyped. Still, it was rather enjoyable for the most part. Music sounded pretty good but I still have problems with the story even if it worked on the sound aspect.
