My parents have always been big fans of Willl Smith and Jack Black, and while I was a kid the movie starring Will Smith, Jack Black, Angelina Jolie, Renée Zellweger, Robert De Niro and others, called "Shark Tale" came out in 2004. It was a big deal around that time, the movie was animated and made by DreamWorks Animation, directed by Vicky Jenson,Bibo Bergeron and Rob Letterman. This movie has earned 3 stars.
This movie was something I watched continuously, to me the soundtrack as great and suited the movie and scenes in which they played the music. The story is about a fish named Oscar who is sort of an underdog and always has been he works at a whale wash, he always wanted to be rich and famous he could not appreciate what he had. One day he has the chance to become a hero when he did nothing, and of course he took that chance. Just like any one else, the fame got to his head he became obsessed with keeping up his reputation. Of course, as most situations full of lies the truth came out.
This movie is like most all movies there is a beginning, something bad that occurs and a happy ending, which is unoriginal in my opinion. Because of the outcome of how his lies got him into a bad situations, it helped me think before I was going to lie, because a small lie can always lead to a bigger one than you had intended it to be in the first place (for example: He starts of by saying he killed a shark and suddenly he is on the face of the news, and is accepted to continue being the so called "shark slayer").Therefore, lying gets you no where because if in the act of lying you hurt the people that you love most then there is no point
There are also other aspects in the story that teach a lesson, such as the relationship between Lenny and his father. Lenny was unlike the rest of sharks and did not want be a killer so therefore was a vegetarian. His father did not agree with him and wished he was more like his brother Frankie. Later on in the movie his father begins to understand Lenny and accepts him. This to me shows that your parents will not always agree with what you do but that does not always mean that you shouldn't do it if it is a reflection of who you are or who you want to be. At the end of the day who you are speaks louder than who others want you to be, if you continue with what you think is right sometimes people will begin to see your side of things. You will never be perfect in anyone's eyes not even your own.
The animation was also done well for it only being in 2004, to a kid (which is what the movie was geared to) it is fascinating and interesting because of all the vibrant colours. Also I thought it was so interesting how they made the ocean look like New York city but underwater and for fish. The characters in this movie were well done non of them looked the same and each added an importance to the movie, whether it was to make you laugh or to make you hate them.
This movie is an 8 out of 10 in my opinion for the previous reasons.
