If there's any reason for Shark Tale 's existence other than to give celebs a chance to play around as animated sea creatures, I don't see it. ...read the complete Shark Tale movie review at Window to the Movies (Jeffrey Chen)

Psst! DreamWorks! Your Nemo envy is showing! With computer animation now apparently the only show in town, it may have been tempting to emulate Pixar's staggeringly profitable fish-out-of-water movie. Shark Tale, unfortunately, lacks even the basic tools ...read the complete Shark Tale movie review at Flipside Movie Emporium (Rob Vaux)

Just when you thought the watery world of animation was safe, comes a copy-cat attempt that swamps you in a sea of cliches. It's not only the animation that's computer-generated, it's the story, the characters and the dialogue.
