	Shark Tale :: rogerebert.com :: Reviews
		It takes place on an underwater reef where sharks are the local gangsters, and run things from their headquarters on the hulk of the Titanic.
		Now they "star" in the movie, so that the posters for "Shark Tale" list De Niro, Smith, Zellweger and Jolie in big type at the top, as if we were really going to see them in the movie.
		There are a lot of funny moments in "Shark Tale," free-standing gags, clever lines, neat twists, but the movie never comes together into a convincing enterprise.

	Shark Tale Review // PS2 /// Eurogamer
		Shark Tale is colourful, loud, accessible, easily challenging enough for kids without frustrating them too much and has its finger firmly pressed on the fun button.
		Shark Tale is the sort of game you buy for your nephew and end up completing in a stupor while the Queen's speech pours over your snoozing Grandma in the front room.
		Shark Tale is a credit to Activision's ability to take on this type of project, and, like THQ's adaptation of Finding Nemo last year, shows brilliant quality, is diverting for adults and perfect for children.

	Shark Tale - WikiFur, the furry encyclopedia
		Shark Tale is a 2004 CGI movie from DreamWorks Animation, written by Michael J. Wilson and Rob Letterman.
		Shark Tale takes place in the underwater world of Southside Reef, a crowded metropolis where streams of fish surge between coral skyscrapers, police dolphins deal with traffic chaos caused by an overturned mackerel, lobster-trains scuttle along elevated tracks, and such business as Coral Cola, The Gup, and Old Wavy operate.
		When his shark snout squashed with rubber bands and his gills hidden behind a scarf of caution tape, he intends to pass himself off as "Sebastian, the whale-washing dolphin".

	Shark Tale - Xbox Review
		Shark Tale seems to be inspired by some of the best games of the last few years.
		Shark Tale has a fairly impressive list of licensed music for the dance sections and the rest of the game uses fairly generic instrumental music I assume is pulled from the motion picture soundtrack.
		Shark Tale has twenty-four levels and they are fairly easy to get through, even for a kid I’m sure.

	Mygamer.com :: Shark Tale on Xbox
		Shark Tale's voice acting is well implemented too, it adds a great deal to the cinematic ambience of the game, and makes the characters seem more tangible, much more so than if the developers had opted for subtitles.
		Overall, Shark Tale looks and sounds great, but it has some troublesome issues in the gameplay and difficulty departments; it is targeted for younger children though, so the reduced difficulty is perhaps understandable.
		Nevertheless, Shark Tale is certainly worth diving into for a wet and welcome visit, but you'll probably want to step from the surf and towel off before too long lest your skin takes on that weird prune-like texture.

	IGN: DreamWorks' Shark Tale Preview
		Shark Tale is gearing up to be one of the year's biggest blockbuster movies.
		In Shark Tale, which is developed by Edge of Reality (Pitfall: The Lost Expedition), gamers control Oscar through a selection of underwater exploration levels, Crash Bandicoot-styled chase missions and, oddly enough, rhythm-infused dance stages.
		The bad news is that Shark Tale will unfortunately not feature any voice talent from the actors who supplied their talents for the feature film.

		Sharks lived outside the reef in the wreckage of a large ship.
		Shark Tale was released in October of 2004.
		Shark Tale wasn’t as good as some other animated movies in my opinion, but I still enjoyed it.

	Shark Tale
		It is set in the underwater underworld when a timid vegetarian shark named Oscar is fingered as the killer of a shark mob boss' son.
		Shark Tale, from Dreamwork's animation division, is set in an underwater world not dissimilar to our own, although here sharks are mobsters and fish bet on seahorse races.
		The CG-animated "Shark Tale" centers on a little fish voiced by Will Smith who takes credit for "whacking" a shark gangster, who was in reality killed accidentally by a ship's anchor.

	Shark Tale film review
		Shark Tale follows in the wake of the hugely successful Finding Nemo to which it will inevitably be compared, though there are few similarities other than their aquatic setting.
		When Oscar is found beside a dead shark, he is hailed a heroic "shark slayer," by all the other fish on the reef including the alluring Lola (Angelina Jolie).
		That the dead shark happens to be the son of Don Lino (Robert De Niro), the mob boss who runs the reef, makes matters a little more complicated.

	Shark Tale
		In the Dreamworks animated canon, Shark Tale is more Sinbad than Shrek 2.
		These are different films, but similar enough to draw comparisons, and Shark Tale falls far short of Finding Nemo in nearly every aspect.
		Don Lino and his sharks are like a mafia, and all the fish that live on the reef are terrified of them.

	CNN.com - Review: 'Shark Tale' goes swimmingly - Sep 30, 2004
		For "Shark Tale," De Niro and Scorsese were actually in the recording studio at the same time, allowing them to ad-lib many of their lines.
		With "Shark Tale," the casting is perfect and the choices are all the more delightful since the main players are all new to the world of animation.
		"Shark Tale" manages to work both as a charming story on its own while also being a great send-up of the classic mob film genre -- making it a great catch for the entire family.

	Shark Tale (Xbox) Xbox Game reviews - CNET Reviews
		Shark Tale integrates a fair amount of footage, music, and dialogue from the movie it's based on, but the pleasant surprise here is the sheer variety of different levels the game includes.
		When the shark opens its mouth to attack, an arrow appears indicating that the left, right, top, or bottom portion of the screen will offer safe haven from the shark's bite.
		Objectively speaking, Shark Tale doesn't bring anything to the table that hasn't already been brought to it before--and sometimes in a grander fashion --in other adventure games.

	Alex Sandell reviews Shark Tale
		Shark Tale opens surrounded with the most controversy any animated film has had to endure since "family" groups started seeing penises on the covers of their The Little Mermaid videocassettes (leading Disney to issue a massive recall of the tapes).
		One of those people happens to be Angie (Renée Zellweger), a friend and secret admirer of Oscar, who's hurt over his not noticing that he was just as special to her before his fame and fortune, as he is now.
		But what Shark Tale has that no animated film has had since Aladdin blew people's tops off way back in 1992, is a nonstop manic ability to keep the audience in stitches.

	Shark Tale
		Shark Tale is a soulless platform for the Will Smith persona, here voicing a duplicitous social climber called Oscar who disdains his legacy as a car wash (make that "whale wash") employee in favour of a feckless dreamlife of bling and adulation.
		A suggestion that shark Lenny is gay because he's a vegetarian and goes into hiding as a dolphin mingles with stuff about gambling, getting tortured and executed mob-style, and using your (ahem) feminine assets for material gain.
		Not the worst film of the year, Shark Tale is nevertheless among the most disappointing--or, rather, it would have been were it not made by the same company responsible for The Road to El Dorado, The Prince of Egypt, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, and the dreadfully overrated Shrek films.

	Shark Tale (ps2: 2004): Reviews
		DreamWorks' Shark Tale is a Jack-of-all-trades for gameplay, but is a clear master for none of them.
		Shark Tale does a fantastic job of representing the film authentically as a whole, but it’s its very basic, mini-game style levels and side-scrolling gameplay that let it down.
		Shark Tale may feel linear at times, but the experience is not so diluted that it delivers a totally flavourless caper.

	Shark Tale
		When he's taken to be rubbed out for not making good on his debts, he's discovered by Lenny the vegetarian shark and his brother Frankie, who has been given the mission of teaching his brother how to be a real meat-eating shark.
		The local shark mafia move in to take Oscar down for the murder of the mafioso's eldest son, but all ends happily ever after when Oscar confesses to the lie and facilitates a reunion between Lenny and his dad.
		Shark Tale limps along on a mediocre script that tries to be witty but fails miserably, demonstrating a surprising lack of the originality that made Shrek such a success for DreamWorks in 2001.

	Shark Tale
		Shark Tale seems even more barnacle-encrusted when you consider its Analyze This plot - funny but murderous Italian gangsters - and its signature musical moment, built around the 14-year-old M.C. Hammer hit U Can't Touch This.
		The first half-hour of Shark Tale is so dialogue-heavy, the kiddie-squirm factor will surely hit a new high.
		Children don't need to see a helpless shrimp begging for his life at the sharks' dinner table, or hear a flatulent fish (voiced by Peter Falk) talk about corpses and maggots.

	USATODAY.com - 'Shark Tale' hunts for a spot in 'Shrek'-'Nemo' food chain
		Shark Tale borrows many lessons from its studio siblings Shrek and its sequel: savvy humor designed to appeal to both adults and children; all-star casting, this time Will Smith, Renee Zellweger and Angelina Jolie; and a hip soundtrack, with stars such as Eminem's band D-12 and Christina Aguilera.
		"Shark Tale is new and different and original, but it's within the same tone or idea or way of telling a story." (Related story: Shark Tale leads a tsunami of new 'toons)
		Shark has a swagger and a hip-hop vibe, makes frequent allusions to other movies and even features gangsters, while Nemo was more innocent and straightforward.

	Movie Review - Shark Tale - www.ericdsnider.com - The Official Website of Eric D. Snider (Site not responding. Last check: )
		"Shark Tale" probably isn't a copy of "Finding Nemo," since these computer-animated dealies take a long time and the films were in production simultaneously.
		"Shark Tale" is not an imitator, technically, but it sure feels like one -- not just of "Finding Nemo," but of the Pixar films in general.
		The sharks are the Mafia of the ocean, it seems, and though Lenny is being groomed by his father Don Lino (Robert De Niro) to take over the family business of extortion and racketeering, Lenny is in fact a simpering vegetarian rather than a ruthless killing machine.

	American Family Association - AgapePress news
		It is when Shark Tale turns its attention to Lenny that it veers toward an undercurrent of approval for homosexuality.
		In developing this allegory, Shark Tale uses all of the familiar Hollywood plot devices, beginning with the son who is "different," and who fails to measure up to the cultural standards of manhood.
		A shark who isn't a killer is not "normal," and this deficiency in his son is starting to embarrass Lino.

	Shark Tale :: Movie Forums
		If Shark Tale is remembered for anything, it may be for its decision to cater its computer-generated characters to the actors who voice them.
		The shark voiced by Robert De Niro, for example, has his trademark mole, and the blowfish voiced by Martin Scorcese sports his furry eyebrows.
		Shark Tale is not a classic, and it has nothing new to tell us, but its gags are quick, plentiful, and hit the mark often enough to keep you entertained.

		Shark Tale isn't the colossal adventure it could have been, but it's got what it takes to please the kiddies.

		Shark Tale inspired the founding of CARRES, but it doesn't have to stop there.
		According to De Sanctis, the coalition is committed to continuing long after Shark Tale is forgotten.

		Based on the best-selling novel by Peter Benchley, it was the movie that singlehandedly ushered in a new era of blockbuster film-making.
		One of the key decisions was to ditch much of the footage involving the malfunctioning mechanical sharks and opt for the roaming point-of-view shots for which the film would become famous.
		A decision was also made to hold off revealing the shark itself until the final third of the movie and to jolt the audience with additional scary moments.

		Elsewhere in the Reef, Lenny (Black) is an outcast, a great white shark who lacks a killer instinct and is a closet vegetarian.
		Shark Tale strives to be nothing more than a fast-paced 90-something minutes of family entertainment, and at that it succeeds.
		If you're the type of eater who makes a meal of appetizers, then Shark Tale will fill you up, and if you've got little ones for whom the kids' meal is enough, they'll be stuffed.
