Like watching Disney 20 years ago

Rating: 4/10 (12 March 2005)

I really had big expectations before this movie came out. Afterall it was made by DreamWorks which gave us both installations of Shrek and therefor if nothing else, I expected it to be funny.
OK, I'm not going to argue about the animation, because probably most of you saw what computer cgi animation looks like... the main problem with this movie is that it wants to be Ice Age cross Shrek cross Finding Nemo, but in the end it fails as it turns out that people who made Shark Tale are probably the same ones as those from Beauty and the Beast. I mean, you can't make an impression just by terrific animation.
The plot is ... well in one word... ridiculous. No, wait... there is no plot. Something happens and it ends. Be yourself. Don't lie. Get rich quick. Be somebody. etc. etc. Obviously DreamWorks fellas think that renaming Katie Couric into Katie Current and GAP into GUP is suppose to be the highlight of this messy ocean story. Ha ha, to die for.
You can expect lots of pointless singing and plot less storyline. But you might enjoy the Vegetarian Shark, which actually brings a bit of the humor into this boring and extremely short movie.
