SHARK TALE (Theatrical Release USA 2004)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 3.8|5.0 Starsììì 

Shark Tale—not much new here—serves average entertainment fare with great animation. Even though the movie uses big names in the voicing cast, the addition of the names does not add enough to the film to increase its entertainment value.

Storyline 

The movie tells a gangster/mafia story about a lowly fish who, by a series of events, rises to power, fame, and fortune.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe? 

Maybe. It’s fun to hear Will Smith voicing an animated movie, but this film is overshadowed by other fish animated movies such as Finding Nemo or Finding Dory.
