Review – Shark Tale

As is the general pattern with Dreamworks animations, this one’s marginally for the kids but features a load of stuff for their parents as well. Unfortunately here we seem to have reached the point where the asides to the grownups have overwhelmed the kid-oriented fare. I guess the average tot would find this entertaining enough, but the real fun of the picture is the references to other (often R-rated) movies. Further impressive is just how hard the animators must have worked to make a bunch of fish look like the actors who supply their voices. Overall this is a colorful yet content-free parade of gimmicks. Mildly amusing
