Movie Info

Oscar is a fast-talking little fish that dreams big. But his big dreams land him in hot water when a great white lie turns him into an unlikely hero. At first, his fellow fish swallow Oscar's story hook, line and sinker and he is showered with fame and fortune. It's all going along swimmingly, until it starts to become clear that Oscar's tale about being the defender of the Reef is all wet. Oscar is finding out that being a hero comes at a Market Price when his lie threatens to make him the Catch of the Day. Now he has to tread water until he can get the scales to tip back in his favor again.

Audience Reviews for Shark Tale

  • Mar 29, 2016
    Almost insultingly bad, Shark Tale is both overloaded with pointless pop culture jokes that aren't funny along with a plot that is both mean spirited and too dark for it's target audience.

    I can't be the only one who found the movie's plot confusing.

    The animated Movies these days ARE not only for kids, I think there is always a message hidden in them, although I am not sure what message was in this one but it was a huge fun to watch with friends 4 years old Son.

    ...An interesting movie... Really catered to small children, as in, too small to analyze the film.
