Released in 2004, “Shark Tale” is a CGI or computer-generated imagery film with an all star voice cast. The movie is about an ambitious little fish named Oscar, voiced by Will Smith. He works as a tongue scrubber at a local shop known as Whale Wash. He owes his boss 5,000 clams and he needs to pay it back the next day. His best friend Angie, voiced by Renee Zellweger helps him by lending him a pink pearl to pawn in exchange for the money to pay his boss Sykes played by Martin Scorsese. Instead of using the money to pay for his debts, Oscar driven by his desire for easy money, bets it all on a horse name Lucky Day, who wasn’t so lucky that day and ends up losing and causing Sykes to become more furious at Oscar. He decides to punish Oscar in some isolated area. But that’s before Oscar gets noticed for his extravagant betting by a gorgeous lion fish named Lola, portrayed by Angelina Jolie.

 

The cast includes a family of sharks, which according to reviews, is patterned after the “Godfather” characters. They inhabit the shipwreck of the RMS Titanic. The patriarch, Don Lino, portrayed by Robert de Niro has two sons Frankie and Lenny. Frankie, the big brother is fiercer and more aggressive than the younger shark Lenny, played by Jack Black.  Don Lino’s impatience on Lenny’s lack of killer instincts drives him to instruct Frankie, voiced by Michael Imperioli to train Lenny to become more like them. This action sets them to cross paths with Oscar, who at the tine was being tortured by Sykes two henchmen Ernie and Bernie. Instead of attacking them as instructed by Frankie, Lenny helps Oscar instead. Frankie was furious but wasn’t able to do anything because he was suddenly killed by an anchor being dropped from above.

 

Oscar makes it look like he was the one who killed Frankie, and since no one was there to disprove his claim, he suddenly found himself immensely popular and now known as the Sharkslayer. Lenny helps him and becomes his ally in his elaborate lie. He becomes a hero and gets the girl that he dreams of. Eventually his lies caught up with him and both he and Lenny had no choice but to tell Don Lino, who was out to kill him for murdering his son, the truth.  In the end, Don Lino accepts the truth about Frankie’s death and Lenny’s vegetarian preference. The movie happily ends with Oscar turning his back on easy money and decides to work in Whale Wash again as its manager. He befriends the sharks who became his regular customers and falls in love with Angie who has been in love with him for the longest time.
