Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: Shark Tale
Tumblr media
See now this is the part where the word "torture" really becomes accurate because oh my fucking god that's exactly what this hell movie is.
So uh yeah. Shark Tale. It sucks. Do I really need to go on? It's insufferably annoying with ugly ass characters who are incredibly unlikable, with a paper thin plot that beats you over the head with its message right from the very start. But I suppose if I have to break it down....
Tumblr media
The movie stars Will Smith Fish I mean Oscar, who's a self-centered clout chaser who wants to become a "somebody" and a cliche misunderstanding succenly launches him into the status of a hero known as the Sharkslayer. This happens after the son of some shark mob boss (yes there's a shark mob shut up I hate it too) dies in an accident, and his other son, Lenny (who's a vegetarian, idk how that's possible, just roll with it) befriends Oscar and the two stage another shark slaying to keep Oscar in the limelight. Inset a stupid ass love triangle with Lola, the blatant gold digger, and Angie, Oscar's best friend who spends the entire movie pathetically simping over this piece of shit, and well... you have the cinematic mess that is Shark Tale.
Tumblr media
So the plot sucks, the whole messages of "tell the truth" and "status and wealth aren't everything" are so beaten into you the movie barely gives you a chance to think about them for yourself. But even worse than that plot are the characters. Oscar is just so damn unlikeable man, he's a lying asshole who only really cares about upward mobility and is willing to screw the few people who do care about him over to get it. Angie is just as bad, a bitchy, jealous simp who more or less gaslights Oscar into loving her by the end imo. The other characters are all one-note and lame, but I guess if any of them are mildly amusing, Lenny is the best of the bunch, if only because he's not an utterly miserable tool like everyone else in this movie is.
Tumblr media
The music is the typical early 2000s Dreamworks pop nonsense, it wasn't too insufferable given the vibe of the movie, but still, it wasn't anything standout. The animation is... ok, but god these fugly ass character designs. Why oh WHY did they decide to putt Will Smith's face on a fucking FISH? Who looked at this and thought THIS WAS OK????
Tumblr media
I will say the backgrounds and environments are genuinely nice to look at though, probably one of the very few redeeming qualities this film has to offer. As for everything else, well, there's a reason this movie lives in infamy as one of the worst things Dreamworks has ever put out. It sinks to scrub the bottom of the barrel (get it? Ok I'll shut up) in just about every way there is. It's riddled with lame puns, unfunny jokes, blatant product placements, and just about every stupid cliche you can think of for a kids movie. Save yourself the trouble and leave this one for the fishes (goddammit now the stupid ass movie has me doing it too).
Overall Rating: 2/10
Verdict: Send these ugly ass fish to the toxic waste dump where they belong

Is It Really That Bad?
Tumblr media
Dreamworks has such a stellar reputation these days thanks to things like the reappraisal of Megamind as a subversive superhero masterpiece ahead of its time and The Last Wish being one of the single most epic animated films ever made, but there was a time where the studio got very little respect. You see, the studio found solid footing a lot quicker than you’d think, with the first two Shrek movies becoming smash (mouth) hits and The Prince of Egypt being an animated Biblical epic for the ages. Sure, Sinbad is the fourth biggest confirmed loss in box office history, losing Dreamworks $125 million, but they could definitely rebound with some of that Shrek money, right? Maybe, but when you bomb that hard, you’re probably in need of a little bit more cash. Clearly the best way to go about getting that is to recapture that Shrek magic with a star-studded snarky comedy full of pop culture references! What could possibly go wrong?
Well, you’ve got the lowest rated Dreamworks Animation film on Rotten Tomatoes, uncanny valley CGI that was derided even back at the time, a star-studded cast that seems overly excessive even by animated studio standards of the time, a nonsensical combination of animated fish and gangster movie tropes, accusations of racism towards Jamaicans due to the two jellyfish characters, competition from The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie and Finding Nemo, and even one of the own stars looking back on voice acting in the film as bad. That’s what could go wrong.
Tumblr media
Still, some people look back on this movie fondly. You go to places on the internet where this movie is talked about and you’re bound to find some people saying how this movie was their childhood, and how it’s a riot, and how Will Smith is great… There has to be something to this, right? Shark Tale must have something to it if people still sing its praises, right? Is it… really that bad?
I mean, take a look at Oscar and you tell me.
Tumblr media
Alright, alright, I’ll actually give it a fair shake. Here goes.
THE GOOD
Look, when you have this much talent in a film, you’re bound to accidentally stumble onto a few good things.
Easily the best thing in the movie is Martin Scorsese as Sykes, Oscar’s boss and the fish who most has to put up with Oscar’s boneheaded antics. The acclaimed director really shows off his funny side with this one, and the fact he has to deal with the problems of an obnoxious Will Smith fish make him surprisingly sympathetic. He’s genuinely a lot of fun, and the movie gives him plenty of screentime so you don’t have to worry about him being underutilized, and he manages to make any scene he shares with Oscar more tolerable.
Tumblr media
Then we have the sharks. Specifically we have Robert de Niro playing the mob boss Don Lino; despite this being the most basic de Niro role you could possibly give the guy, he still manages to make it entertaining. In a broad sense, the entire shark mob gets a fair share of solid jokes, which is compounded by the bumbling octopus lackey Luca, who gets a few chuckles with his comic relief antics. Overall, our antagonists are pretty solid… and more enjoyable than our hero.
Tumblr media
Then we have Lenny. I think Jack Black’s vegan shark is a bit of a divisive figure, but rewatching the movie, I honestly liked him and his storyline. For a movie from the early 2000s (and a comedy at that), it surprisingly tackles the topic of homosexuality in a tasteful manner. Yes, it is blatantly obvious and heavy-handed, and it’s not executed in a way that the film can make better use of it, but I think it’s a pretty bold and resonant message. If only the film had focused on Lenny and had it be his story instead of letting Will Smith’s stupid “Shark slayer” plot steal all the screentime; the movie is literally called Shark Tale, why is this not the story of the gay shark?! Why are we spending so much time with some whiny fish who lies, cheats, and acts like a dickhead to everyone around him?
Tumblr media
Oh yeah and there’s a shark voiced by Peter “Columbo” Falk. That kinda rules.
Tumblr media
THE BAD
Hey, I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I do not fucking like Oscar.
Tumblr media
Oscar is easily one of the worst protagonists ever conceived. He’s selfish, self-centered, stupid, egotistical, oblivious, obnoxious… It’s honestly mind-boggling that they cast one of the most charming and charismatic actors of all time and had him play a character antithetical to everything that he is as a performer. The entire movie is founded on him lying and taking credit for something he didn’t do, scamming multiple corporations out of brand deals in the process, gambles away his best friend’s precious heirloom and loses all the money, rarely takes responsibility for his actions… Honestly, this whole segment could just be listing all of Oscar’s negative traits and actions. And all of this could be forgivable if he was funny, but he’s not! He is utterly cringeworthy every time he attempts humor, and don’t even get me started on the romance.
Actually, no, let’s get started on the romance! Oscar and Angie’s relationship is fucking awful and toxic. This is the original Reylo right here, an unpleasant romance between characters with zero chemistry that is just overwhelmingly miserable and unhealthy. Angie refuses to communicate her feelings to Oscar and gets mad and jealous when he remains oblivious, and Oscar s just pretty callous and oblivious to Angie. There is no way any relationship with these two would actually last.
Tumblr media
And then there’s Lola, the Angelina Jolie fish. Now, I ain’t saying she’s a gold digger… But she ain’t messing with no broke fish. Her relationship with Oscar is so blatantly telegraphed from the start as being manipulative and superficial, but he goes for it anyway. And while that is basically shoved in your face from the word go, you know what isn’t? The fact she’s able to pull some strings and work with the mob to kidnap Angie! How the fuck did she get in league with the sharks? Why did this not come up before? Why is this movie trying to frame this fish as a sexy femme fatale?
Tumblr media
And there’s another thing: The animation in this film is abysmal, even for the time. The Shrek movies have aged more gracefully than this, and have you seen how Puss looked in Shrek 2 lately? This movie was bad even back then, with all of these fish designed to resemble their actors. Funnily enough, the more tolerable characters like Sykes and Lenny are a lot easier on the eyes (relatively speaking at least), while the worst characters are just unbelievably ugly. Angie, Lola, the jellyfish, and of course our old pal Oscar. It’s just really weird and awkward.
And maybe all of this would be easier to deal with if the film wasn’t so relentlessly unfunny and generic. When you get down to it, this is the most by-the-numbers mob movie and “liar revealed” story you will ever see. And while it’s trying to be funny, it’s generally failing miserably. Almost every joke is either a reference or an incredibly lame pun; there’s even a point where, while hamming it up, Oscar just rapid-fire spouts off movie quotes. And on top of everything else, the characters being fish really adds so little to anything that changing everyone to humans would improve things exponentially. Like it still wouldn’t be great, but we wouldn’t have to look at the aquatic version of Cats.
THE UGLY
Okay, I decided to save this for last. Ernie and Bernie, the two jellyfish, are widely viewed as Jamaican stereotypes due to their designs, voices, and singing of a Bob Marley song. They are probably the least-liked characters in the movie, and are seen by some as racist stereotypes.
Tumblr media
The way I see it, while I don’t particularly like them, it’s not an Apu situation we have going on here, these aren’t two white guys putting on offensive accents. This is full-blooded Jamaican Ziggy Marley (the literal son of Bob Marley) and part-Jamaican Doug E. Doug playing stereotypical characters. Are they instantly not bad or offensive just because the actors match the ethnicity the jellyfish are stereotyping? No, of course not! But I do think a little context and nuance is needed here. They’re more annoying and stereotypical than outright offensive, but if you see them as offensive I can’t say I blame you. I just don’t think Marley and Doug were intentionally trying to offend.
IS IT REALLY THAT BAD?
Look, if you were hoping I’d be the shining beacon in a sea of mockery, here to tell you Shark Tale is an unsung Dreamworks masterpiece, I’m about to disappoint you. This movie is bad. Like, really, genuinely bad. You have to be seriously blinded by nostalgia to think this movie is good. It is basically “How Not To Make An Animated Film 101,” committing every single crime that made 2000s animation awful, from the bloated celebrity cast to the excessive pop culture references to the poor world building to the dance party ending.
That being said, this is an utterly fascinating bad movie. This is a film that’s fun to talk about, fun to mock, and like I mentioned above there’s still some genuinely good elements that keep this from being truly painful. This film is many things, but boring is not one of them. When it comes to “So bad it’s good” animation, this film is top tier, though your enjoyment of it will definitely hinge on how well you can stomach the terrible animation. That solid 6 is a little bit generous if I’m being honest, but at the same time, as far as bad movies go this one is an enjoyable one. I mean, what’s the Disney equivalent to this, a pop culture poisoned shitty, generic animated movie? Chicken Little. Shark Tale is a million times better than Chicken Little, so if it has one thing going for it, it’s that.

I’ve kinned Lois for about 6 months now… but before that I didn’t know exactly what it was. I had memories of driving the kids to school, taking stewie to daycare and feeling Peters embrace. It was only recently I knew… me and lois shared a heart, a universal bond that is unbreakable. The only thing that never sat right was memories of peter… they were soon replaced by memories of oscar… from the 2004 film “Shark Tale”…. I have vivid memories of me (being Lois) going to whale wash and hanging out with sykes, oscar and even angie, who realized that Lois was his one true love. I truly believe that Lois belongs with Oscar… peter would still be the father of our children, but he can’t love me quite like oscar can… Which leads into my question… do you believe non cannon ships can be kinned? And that you can truly have kin memories of events that didnt take place in a canon episode? I just can’t describe it any other way. I REMEMBER being with oscar… its so clear in my mind. Do I have some sort of other strange heart that differs from a devils heart? If you could give any insight please let me know!!
Hi Lois, I've never seen this movie but it is great to meet another Lois Kin. Yes Yes Yes 100% non canon ships can be kinned. Though my kin is the Canon Lois that does not mean your Lois Kinship is any less valid. Kin memories do not need to have been shown in an episode as they are memories of a different universe. A devil's heart was given to me by the hatred of my family in both universes, So that is up for you to decide if you have catalysts that unlock your heart as mine does so frequently... Lois is a beautiful diverse character And I hope you realize that not every kin has to be 100% canon because there are multiple universes.

Not from the list but I know you've mentioned being a film student before, so what are your favorite movies?
It’s ok that it’s not from the list btw. Feel free to ask me questions about anything anytime you want!!
But ooh ok well… my favourite films are always controversial and embarrassing to admit. But I’ve grown not to care so here they are:
1) Tangled (MASTERPIECE. The best thing Disney have ever produced. The soundtrack slaps and the lantern scene?? The best scene ever.)
2) 10 Things I Hate About You (I love Heath Ledger. I love modern retellings of classics. I love this movie.)
3) Jaws (Big shark eats people? Exactly for me. And the score? Incredible.)
4) Saw (Leigh Whannell and James Wan deserved all the Oscars for this.)
5) Jurassic Park (The movie that made me want to get into the film industry. Thank you, Steven Spielberg.)
6) Brokeback Mountain (Emotional torture that I have purposefully put myself through several times. The performances from Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal are both phenomenal, the story is beautiful and heartbreaking, the direction is amazing. Cinematic gold.)
7) Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (The best Spider-Man movie and one of the best animated movies to ever exist. That is coming from a big Spider-Man fan.)
8) A Knight’s Tale (Another Heath Ledger entry. Can you tell I’m a Heath Ledger fan? Is it objectively the best thing in the world? No. Is it comforting as hell? Definitely.)
9) Some Like It Hot (Thank you for defying the production code during classical Hollywood. Thank you for giving us Marilyn Monroe singing great songs in gorgeous dresses.)
10) Get Out (I notice new details every time I watch it. Jordan Peele is a genius.)
Honourable mentions: The Martian, The Princess Bride, Knight and Day, Night at the Museum, Legally Blonde, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, The Social Network, American Psycho, Zodiac, Prisoners, Little Miss Sunshine, Clueless, Scream, Prospect, Moon
Obviously there are a lot here because it’s difficult for me to narrow down my favourites. My number one is Tangled without a doubt and the next 5 probably create my top 6. There are so many films I love that I will rewatch time and time again that it’s hard to rank them properly 🤷🏻‍♀️

I can't remember but are you the person that threatened to make a shark tales au???
Because I suddenly want to know more about it, mainly if you added vore
-Plant
Yes! I am that person!!
And with so many almost vore scenes in the movie, how could I not? >:)
warning for vore and also that this will not make sense if you haven’t watched the movie
There are two main scenes I’m thinking of here. One is the fighting scene kinda in the middle of the movie where Lenny is pretending to fight Oscar and for some reason Lenny puts him in his mouth.
The other scene is the shark mafia scene where they have Angie tied up and Lenny pretends to eat her too.
Both of these scenes can easily be made into vore (also if you don’t remember this au very well click the shark tale au hashtag to remind yourself who’s who).
For the first one, even if Ranboo doesn’t like eating fish, he still has the instinct to. And unlike Lenny, Ranboo doesn’t mind how fish taste, it’s more a moral reason why he doesn’t eat them. In the movie Lenny has to spit out any fish he almost eats because he can’t stand the taste. I’m changing that to having Ranboo be able to swallow them fine, but he cant have any movement in his brood pouch without feeling severely ill.
So when he swallows Tommy during the fake fight, he kind of panics, but fortunately, so does Tommy. He had been in the brood pouch, and was completely safe, but he obviously didn’t know that, so he starts swimming frantically and punching the walls. Ranboo knows that he’s automatically gonna have to spit Tommy out in a few seconds cause of the movement, so he does his best to make a big show of how Tommy is beating him up from the inside.
To the onlookers, it looks like Tommy miraculously survived getting eaten and got the upper hand from within the monster, even if that’s not really the case. When Ranboo eventually spits him out, Tommy only has a few moments to process it before he hears the cheering of the crowd watching. Ranboo pretends that he passed out from the pain, and Tommy is quickly able to end the fake fight and pretend to kill Ranboo from there, where the two of them have a very necessary conversation on what a brood pouch is and how Tommy is alive.
In the second scenario, it’s goes a bit more differently than in the movie. After Tommy learns about Ranboo’s brood pouch, and learns that Tubbo got kidnapped by the shark mafia, they disguise him and Tommy asks him to eat Tubbo to make the scene more believable. Ranboo says it’s not a good idea, and argues it, but eventually relents. As much as he likes Tubbo and considers him a friends, he doesn’t want Dream to actually eat him. His only concern is how badly Tubbo will struggle, and how much time him and Tommy will have to leave before Ranboo has to spit him out.
It doesn’t go like that. Tubbo is gagged and bound when they get there, and that’s how he is when Ranboo eats him. He is physically unable to struggle, at least struggle enough to get Ranboo to spit him out. Which is good and bad. It’s more believable to Dream and the other sharks that Tubbo is dead, but unfortunately he got the gag off and Ranboo can hear Tubbo screaming and crying for help, and he just can’t get him out right now. Hell, he can’t get him out, period. He has never had to manually get a fish out of his pouch, normally they struggle and he just spits them out, but Tubbo cant.
Enough of this thinking and hearing Tubbo begging for his life break Ranboo down and despite the situation, he finds himself having a panic attack, where he has to remove the mask he’s worn as a disguise to breathe, and that’s how Dream figured out that Ranboo was alive. Eventually Tubbo hears Ranboo talk and realizes that this wasn’t just some random shark, it was his friend. And his practically brother figure had told Ranboo to eat him. He thought he was going to be killed by the two people he cared about most. Ranboo hears more desperate crying, but this time his name is in them, along with Tommy’s, asking them what he ever did and why they would want to kill him. Ranboo is hearing Tubbo say this at about the point in the movie when the shark mafia leader is yelling at Oscar and is about to chase him around the city. Ranboo sees a very pissed Dream start to advance on Tommy, who starts to panic.
Killing two birds with one stone, Ranboo decides he needs to protect Tommy, but he also realizes he doesn’t need Tommy to fight his battle for him, and that he should talk to Dream just brother-to-brother, alone. So he swallows Tommy, who quickly sees the state Tubbo is in and rushes to free him from his binds, and is quick to comfort him and somehow convince him he’s safe, which probably only worked because of how desperate he was to believe it. Meanwhile Ranboo finally breaks down why he ran away and faked his own death. He wasn’t happy. Dream put so much pressure on him and rarely cared what he thought, and Dream’s heart shattered when he realized Ranboo didn’t think he cared about him. Dream hugs his little brother and says he was just trying to toughen him up, and he had no idea how much he was suffering under his care, and promises that if he comes home, he’ll be more mindful and open minded about Ranboo’s way of living.
also! species under the cut, cause i never specified!
Tommy is a blood red hawkfish! (that was the coolest name listed, buts it’s also called a banded or redbar hawkfish i think)
Tumblr media
Tubbo is a cow fish!
Tumblr media
Philza is a sea robin!
Tumblr media
and Ranboo is a white tip oceanic shark!

Idk how recent this was made but I just saw a post somewhere talking about color symbolism in the show and holy shit. Least favorite takes were:
- Blake and Weiss's colors changing to purple and blue are actually cause their original colors were representing the oppressive forces in their lives (Adam/Racism and Jacques ig) and that's why they were in monochrome and not their "real colors"
-Oscar gets covered in green as time goes on to symbolize Oz taking him over, since Oscars color "is orange" (this one wouldn't be as annoying if not for the fact that Oscars last name is pine. You know, A SHADE OF GREEN??)
-Sun's blatant whitewashing change of eye color is symbolic of him seeing the real Blake instead of his idealized version of her
This just kept dealing me psyche damage-
Blake and Weiss’ colours are originally black and white. Adam’s colour is red, not black, same way that Ruby’s colour is red despite wearing a lot of black. Jacques’ colour isn’t white, because the white in his name comes from him marrying Willow and taking her name, where the white naming comes from originally.
Given how much Weiss and Whitley adopt blue when they’re home, it’s more likely that Jacques’ true colour is actually blue.
They also weren’t in monochrome ever? Weiss was in a lot of blue in Beacon, which was done wrong in the show because consistency is not a strong suit of RWBY, and Blake had purple and yellow from the beginning. 
Oscar is more related to brown and green from his last name, because taking orange from Oscar requires a lot of backflipping and I guarantee no one is gonna look at Oscar and go “Oh, he’s obviously named after the fish from Shark Tale and not the actual meaning friend of deer.”
And Sun’s case is just dumb. It’s whitewashing, simple as. It’s not him finally seeing Blake for who she is because Sun already did before, and the Blake he saw in V4 was a complete regression of the girl he knew before. Also, why would his eye colour turn blue to symbolise his developed connection to Blake when Blake’s colours are black, white and purple.
So much of meta on RWBY really does try to put depth in what’s basically a puddle.

In terms of that anon question about jerkish movie protagonists, how does oscar from “shark tale” compare in your eyes (if you’ve seen the movie)?
Oscar has a good enough balance of good and bad things happening to him. The movie makes it vary clear that his actions have consequences, and as his lie gets bigger and bigger, so does the shit he has to do to cover it up, to the point where he can't keep up the charade anymore.
I think the thing that gives audiences a VERY bad impression of Oscar for the rest of the movie (for good reason, mind you) is that he had a way out of his debt when Angie gave him her grandmother's pearl, and he blew it all on horseracing like he was that one Twitch streamer. Like, I ain't gonna blame someone for not fucking with Oscar after that shit.
That said, I do like that he was clearly still thinking about that because once he became rich, he paid Angie back with interest. Even if it was just a pearl necklace and not the actual pearl, he was still thinking about her and what she did for him, and I think that's pretty cool.
