What is the story behind the television movie called Shark Tale?
Shark Tale is a 2004 CGI comedy produced by DreamWorks Animation. In the story, a young fish named Oscar (voiced by Will Smith) falsely claims to have killed the son of a shark mob boss to win favor with the mob boss’ enemies and advance his own community standing. The movie additionally features the voices of Jack Black as Lenny, Renée Zellweger as Angie, Angelina Jolie as Lola, Martin Scorsese as Sykes, and Robert De Niro as Don Lino. Its original title was Sharkslayer, but the producers thought that this might provoke a degree of misunderstanding among the target audience of the film, children and families. Shark Tale is also one of the first three feature-length films to be made into a Game Boy Advance Video. It was released into theaters on October 1, 2004. Although the film was a commercial success it was a critical flop, especially when compared to the critically acclaimed Finding Nemo, a film with a similar theme, which also completely outshone Shark Tale commercially.
