+Jack Rose Reviews Shut Up! Like MrEnter said, just because they're underwater, doesn't mean they constantly have to make underwater puns; that's the equivilent of Smurfs making Smurf/Blue Puns, because they're Smurfs and they're blue.
Mrs Puff has said before shes had to move to a new town with a new name. Her name before was Mrs. Sykes, but her husband's ties to the mafia put her in danger. They ended up divorcing because Mr. Sykes cared about her and didn't want her in danger, but associating with "Sykes" was still risky, so she thought of the name "Puff" and moved, coming up with a story about her husband being caught by the hooks.
I'd argue that _Shark Tale's_ color palette issues go well beyond just being greasy, grimy, and unpleasant. I've found media with far bleaker palettes far more appealing than _Tale._ The problem is that the greasy-grimy palette is inconsistent; some parts try to evoke _Godfather,_ while others try to evoke _Finding Nemo._ You have colorful characters and grimy characters interacting together, in front of backgrounds that often mix the stylistic influences by basically dumping one atop the other.
Given that the color palettes and styles of Finding Nemo and The Godfather are basically the closest opposites you can go, it'll be foolish to combine them in such a lazy way. Seriously, I was lost by the tone of this movie.
You wanna know the difference of actual work and research that went in Shark Tale vs Finding Nemo? Shark Fact: Fathers don't hang around after they've mated with the mom. Finding Nemo: Shark- *crying* "I Never Knew My Fatha!" Shark Tale: *Has father be mob boss and raise his sons with no mother in sight*
It's a special, precious kind of failure to manage to say the exact opposite of the truth (Like that part of Shark Tale did, a movie that failed to impress me when The Last Airbender fucking AMAZED ME!) when you could look it up on Google.
zeemgeem Good joke but not really true. Scientists who studied a blind cave fish noticed it was able to count. And of course that whole thing about goldfish memory is just a myth. MythBusters actually debunked it in one of their episodes.
“Ah stop your moaning Oscar. It could be a lot worse.” “Yeah it’s true. I could be in a Sci fi flop by a director that people love at first then question why they love him.”
@@teddylancer2069 I think that's what he's talking about. It was, after all, a science fiction film that starred Will Smith and caused people to question why they ever liked him. Not only was all the acting in that film bad, but it reflected poorly on him as a person (being obviously both a Vanity Project and a Nepotistic attempt to prop up his son's acting "career").
@@jaxthewolf4572 Lenny hates them, too. This is one of the dumb things in Shark Tale that's simple to explain... obviously borne from sloppy writing rather than intent, but simple to explain.
Lenny doesn't seem to give a shit that his brother died, or that his dad is grieving. He only cares about leaving home because his dad doesn't accept his poor dietary choices. He's a fucking idiot!
It has always been kinda like that. Dreamworks animations always differed that much from Pixar & Disney movies. Take "Antz" for example and compare it with "A Bugs life".
@@jefferyjones8399 Bugs Life's animation holds up a lot better. The casting...lets call that a draw. Writing...Antz. Yeah, sorry, Antz. No question. So, yeah, it's probably more a matter of preference. Do you prefer breezy animation, or do you prefer a darker, stakes driven, narrative?
Revisiting this, I just realized a few better movies to show kids that this offers: - If you want to show your kids a movie about animated fish, rent/buy them Finding Nemo or The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie. - If you want to show them a movie teaching the lesson that lying is bad, show them the Veggietales Larry Boy movies. - If you want to watch the Godfather, rent The Godfather.
If you wanna watch a good Dreamwork’s movie, rent or buy Shrek 1 and 2 The Madagascar trilogy the Kung Fu Panda trilogy the How to train your dragon trilogy. The Prince of Egypt Megamind The Croods movies The Boss Baby movies Captain Underpants Penguins of Madagascar Puss in Boots 1 and especially 2
9:18 “I’ve spent my whole life protecting my children, I’m 42 years old, my blood type is AB- and I run a mafia in the ocean, but you’ll never defeat me and my stand, 「OCEAN MAN」”
Angie's _not that much better_ in hindsight. She's _not_ a nice character, she's a "Nice guy" before that term became what it is today. She does favors and nice things for Oscar _expecting him_ to fall in love with her and acts like he's cheating on her when he's interested in someone else when a) they _weren't_ an item prior to Oscar and Lola's kiss and b) Angie kept hiding her feelings and expecting Oscar to read her mind when she should know by now that he's _too stupid_ to pick up what's in _blatantly obvious_ let alone implications.
@@rogue7723 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who despise Angie and see her as a moron and not much better than Lola. And when also a discrete number of people find her a clingy nuisance while the writers' intent was to put her relationship with Oscar as the heart of the movie and a great moral, you understand something went wrong... and how not to mention she keeps telling him not to aim high if he wants to be happy (I'm sorry, but the sentence "You don't have to live at the top if you wany to be a somebody" sounds like this and she never even tries to suggest him an alternative way to achieve his goal. Wow Angie, for a conscience you really suck...
A funny story of mine: I took ballet for nine years, and I was in the waiting room for my turn on stage for my recital routine, and people were playing movies, It was fun! We watched frozen...But then... They needed a new movie to play..and they chose "Shark tale" I was like "What is this? It kinda looks like Nemo...I guess this works" And then twelve minutes into the movie I cried... I was scared....of the main character...FUN!
... I want to give this movie more credit than it deserves, and say it's a reference to how one name for the US Dollar, "buck", comes from deer. Which would put clams as animals. Though that does still bring to question just what the Hellman's their currency is...
@@insulttothehumanrace3807 that is giving them too much credit, "clams" is already used as slang for money in the us. So they just put the slang in literally.
I love how Oysters are love beings in the beginning of this movie, just to make a dumb joke. Are clams considered slaves in this universe? Why couldn't they just have used sand dollars?
It was because of will smith did you guys forget the draw will smith used to be?? Peopel would see movies just because he was in it, they didnt care about what part he had. I love will smith too, but this was a blatant exploitation of our love for him lmao
The reason this movie was so successful was because almost every kid who fell in love with Finding Nemo the year prior wanted to see this as soon as they saw that it was also about fish I would know because sadly, I was one of those kids.
Technically Spongebob has done entire plots based around them doing things underwater that shouldn't be possible. For example, in one episode Spongebob becomes a lifeguard despite not being able to swim. What makes it less of a problem is that the plots are still creative and interesting.
Yeah, but in that instance it's still important that it's being done underwater, because the fact that they're breaking the laws of logic is what makes it funny.
I think it's because in Spongebob it's done for comical reasons, so it works. In this movie you're meant to take it seriously, so it fails. Also, I'm not too sure about this and I need to go look it up again, but it is possible to have an underwater lake or river, as long as it's made of something denser than water, like brine, which is a very dense mixture of salt and water. The only thing is that I don't think brine can exist in the ocean, only in fresh water, since there is an underwater river of brine found in a lake in a cave.
Dylan Clarkin Goo Lagoon is supposed to be a patch of mud on the ocean floor, I believe. I don't remember if they actually show _water_ underwater, though.
***** A lot of times characters are shown taking a bath or showering. Even in earlier episodes where the logic was a lot more consistent. Unless that's the same "goo" of course.
Wow. I never really realized the beautiful colors of Finding Nemo until now. Also, I know this this movie is just for cash and puns, but it should have been "codfather." I just like puns.
Remember when ScreenRant said both Finding Nemo and Shark Tale have beautiful animation???? Good thing someone found a plural amount of things to enjoy, however, Finding Nemo has animation that is as masterful as the way its stroy, characters and humour was executed to make it one of the greatest films from a great animation studio, but Shark Tale, on the other hand, has animation which Mr. Enter, Jambareeqi and AniMat (welp, possibly soon) described so well that like its sexistly stereotypical characters, it's one of the reasons why this is one of our most disliked films by an otherwise favourable animation studio that made phenomenons like The Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2, Megamind, the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and more.
12:59 "If you think you can get famous by doing absolutely nothing, you're an idiot on multiple levels." Tell that to Luigi. He made a whole career out of it.
He didn't do _nothing._ He helped Mario, and he cleared out a mansion of ghosts, and he...um...helped Mario some more...did he ever rescue Princess Daisy alone, or only with the help of Mario?
When I was younger I really liked this movie, because from a scientific standpoint the whalewash symbolizes a symbiotic relationship between animal species. Also, I really liked the vegetarian shark. I don't know if it was because he didn't fit in with his family, or that he just made a pathetic shark or what, but I liked his character... even if it gave the false impression that carnivores can live without meat. Seriously. Don't make your cat a vegetarian. They could die. There's a reason why cat and dog food pride themselves with having meat listed as the first ingredient. It's just healthier for the animal.
Really? Ah, how insightful. I am glad you found some redeeming value in the Jack Black shark, Lenny. If only Shark Tale was a better movie and rewritten better like Toy Story, you would be all set! November 17, 2019, 2:51am
I mean, you do realize most animals are carnivorous?? Dunno why kids’ movies try to avoid showing carnivorous animals eating other animals. It gives off a stupid perception of the real world. Say with the Lion King, what Rafiki does to baby Simba in the intro, that’s literally how baboons kill lion cubs. Not trying to be graphic, but this is literally how animals act. It’s similar to the live action Little Mermaid, there’s a song she sings (in her head) about how the humans see fish and most marine life as food, when there’s literally a part where Scuttle eats a fish in front of her?? Would Ariel ban fish harvesting upon marrying Eric?? That would have a huge negative impact on kingdoms that trade with his kingdom because they can’t buy certain resources
@@kristinahuchison2511 This is why I wish there was an adult version of The Little Mermaid. I always thought they lived in a society where fish that contributed to society stayed alive and those who couldn't were ate. This would explain when Sébastien said to turn him into a crab cake when he failed to babysit Ariel. And, yeah, it really disappointed me when in The Ice Age sequel the tiger is showing signs of starvation and they just draw it up as a will power issue.
Reminds me of when the head-writer of Community ranted that the worst possible way you could introduce a character is have them turn to the screen, announce their name to the audience and say something snarky like "Hi, my name's Steve and if you're thinking what I'm thinking, keep watching".
Y'know with the absolute shallowness of the Academy I can only assume it was nominated for an Oscar...because it had a main character named Oscar and someone thought they were hilaaaarious
That's a powerful guess. But the Oscars have to do with a FAR superior DreamWorks Animation films known as Chicken Run to the point where "Best Animated Feature" was a born category. 😉
Wow, Shark Tale over The Polar Express? That movie is probably one of my favorite Christmas movies, and definitely in my Top 5 favorite movies, the quality of the visuals & animation still amaze me years later, it's held up very well. I never read the original story, but I heard the film was also extremely faithful to it. I'd watch this movie 10 times over Shark Tale any day
Yeah, Polar Express is great. Shark Tale being chosen over it is ridiculously stupid... And the original story was a short, charming read. They basically took the plot of the book and added a lot of stuff (Which was a necessary move to make it a movie. Adapting the book by itself would result in a 12-minute short, at most).
You can't expect the characters to be fleshed out when it's based on a book. It's rare that a movie adaptation captures the personality of a protagonist. And in this case, the protagonists name is "The little Boy", they didn't really put too much focus into the characters, and I'm kind of glad they didn't, it made the characters easier to project onto.
Only two characters gets a true name' "Billy"(the very little shy boy) and Sister Sara, whose only mentioned i think in the beginning and end to the book. There's Hero Boy (protagonist) Hero Girl (the...well, girl) The Know It All Kid (the brainy boy who..well, thinks he knows everything" and the Conductor
"this is the carwash. i mean the carwash. i mean the attempts to hide that it's a carwash." i love when you do that repeated mistake thing it kills me every time
Freaky Friday crossed with Aliens... So a movie about a space marine and a xenomorph who switch minds and end up seeing into the other side's ways and problems, and meet those who they would normally be fighting as allies, and in the process realize that each side is not necessarily in the right or wrong. I mean I'm sure an idea like this had been done before, but with marines and aliens? Hell yeah I'd watch that.. How does a one-off joke make a better idea for a story then half the movies that exist?!
Partly because about 70% of stories that do some kind of body-swap are just for comedy, while your pitch on it sounds like it could be a serious plot, with some decent social commentary. Partly because seeing a xenomorph trying to adjust to a human body would be either hilarious or interesting. Or horrifying. Really, we could make a whole comment chain answering that question.
DynoStretch Personally, I think it could work better as a horror movie. A space marine and a Xenomorph end of switching bodies. The alien, now in the human body, uses its appearance to sneak in plain sight and slowly works to try to kill everyone left aboard the ship. The marine in the Xenomorph body works to try to find some way to stop the alien, but has to hide from all of their former friends, knowing in their current form they would be shot on sight. They also either have to try to find a way to switch back, or, if necessary, kill the alien in their body and spent the rest of their life alone in a foreign body. And again, this entire thing originated from a one off joke in a review of a movie infinitely worse than that premise.
DynoStretch the alien trapped in the Marines body would find it so weird not having neon green, acidic blood and the marine trapped in the aliens body has to deal with the strict alien queen boss who hates how he is behind the face hugger job and almost fires the poor marine....holy shit I would watch that
Yup. Kids tend to experience more extreme emotions than adults, and when they're looking forward to something (e.g, that cool-looking movie they've seen -ads- trailers for on TV), the positive emotions from their hype can drown everything else out. By the same token, if they're _not_ looking forward to something (e.g, a book they have to read for school), the negative emotions from their anti-hype can drown out the thing's redeeming qualities.
It was a bit shocking that a lot of people seem to not like this movie, and after the video I can understand why. Your description of the history and other stuff about the movie does make sense, yet despite, I still have a strong liking to this movie, and I don't think that will change anytime soon.
Sounds like Oscar is made to be like a inner city black stereotype but failed horribly , the car wash thing made me think of the Dr.Dre n Snoop movie The Wash lol.
I actually think that was the plan 😅 It's like they threw random movies in a hat and drew a few times. And out of all the movies they could have picked they got that dumpsterfire of a rapper movie (which I actually kinda enjoy as it's so bad it's good again) and out of all rappers they could have picked, they picked Will Smith, the mainstreamiest of rappers (and probably also the most kid friendly they could dig up). And then they probably told him to be the freshest of princes to ever fresh.
"And if they do become famous for being famous, they're usually the joke of society." Why do people keep commenting this before listening to the whole thing?
I've never understood the "she kissed him so it must be his fault" cliche. If you SEE her kissing him, WHY ARE YOU GETTING PISSED AT HIM!? And if he tells you she kissed him first, HE HAS NO REASON TO MAKE IT UP. This happens in every fucking romance movie and every time this happens the woman ALWAYS assumes it's the guy's fault. If she actually tried TALKING TO HIM, maybe she'd learn NOT TO ASSUME EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS REAL!
There's a lot of people like that in the world, though, unfortunately... and it's really bad, for both genders, when movies like this depict it as a positive thing.
Fish Prince of Bel-Sea So black he's... lazy, manipulative, and cons mobsters... Moral of the story: This is what kids grow up without the wisdom and guidance of Uncle Phil.
4:48 In case you forgot, Finding Nemo also had sharks that didn't eat meat, and a whale, too. The difference is that Finding Nemo was clever about it XD
Ok, ok, I think I got it. The connection between the mob and the ocean. Sleeping with the fishes. Also, another reason that joke doesn't work? Whitefish live in lakes.
Golden Freddy They created an entire movie around a pun. *Slow clap* You did it boys! You did it *Faster and harder clapping* You did it! *Angry claps* YOU DID IT!
Yeah, I came here to comment the same thing. That's the joke. This was a parody of the mafia genre - not a especifically amazing parody, just a parody. I don't mind people not liking it, I don't like it much myself, but I do think most of the hate for this movie comes from people straight-out missing the point...
That's what I said. And I didn't say anything about it being a cartoon excusing the movie's "shittiness". I simply don't think it's as shitty as some people seem to think and I can only guess people are missing the overall point of it being a parody of the gangster movie trope. It's like when Zootopia used the two-cop team-up movie trope/setting/structure for their plot. You think Zootopia got this much hate for it? But Zootopia, for all its unoriginality, had a great delivery in the feels department. Shark Tale? Its worse sin? It's simply too forgettable.
3:00 And another thing.... You know what's really tragic here? This over-realistic and boring color pallet could have actually done the movie service. Think about it - imagine they give Oscar an actual real goal in life besides just being famous - imagine his goal instead is to go out and explore the ocean - explore farther beyond the reef and out into the ocean than any of his kind have ever done. He leaves the city behind to find a life of his own, and in that journey, he discovers a whole new world of color he had no idea existed - imagine like when Jack Skellington found Christmas Land, he suddenly finds places as vibrant and beautiful as what we saw in Finding Nemo. But in trying to go home to tell his friends about all this, the evil Shark mafia tries to stop this expansion to new territory because reasons - I don't know, maybe they're afraid of losing their influence of fear over the little fish people. So from then on, a lot of the shark scenes are back in this gritty dark dank area of the sea that helps for foreshadowing but then along comes Lenny the free spirited shark who doesn't wanna be in the Mafia and wants to find a new life too, and ultimately his fate somehow becomes intertwined with that of the little fish man that would normally be his prey.
Cartoon Network has recently been working like this: 2 good shows in the morning, 5 hours of TTG, Shark Tale, 5 more hours of TTG, 2 Regular Shows, then Adult Swim.
Bulma Bunny YES!!!!! SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT BURMA IS AWESOME UNLIKE CHI-CHI AND SHARK TALE, UNLIKE MANY OF THE BUTTHURT WHINERS OF THIS VIDEO!!!!!! ☇🤗😁😉😇✌🖒🖒🖒🖒❤
The part where you talk about how people who are famous don't try to be famous just reminded me of a famous person: JK Rowling. You see, when she started writing the first Harry Potter book, she was a single parent on welfare and was thinking about suicide. She turned to the thing she was talented at: writing. Harry Potter is now one of the most well beloved franchises. That's something Oscar should've thought about. If he could. Edit: I just looked at the comments section after three years. Hoo boy, did I create a mess.
Those kinda things do happen, if the original writer doesnt want to, or is unfit to represent the book, another person can be hired to pose as the writer and earn a cut of the total profits. It's an actual thing, so calm down with the obnoxious emojis.
You're making me think of that RUclipsr who posted the entire performance of Prince's Purple Rain in the movie Purple Rain and got millions of views because of it.
FlyingDuckMan360 Well, as much as I dislike this movie, the boss showing Oscar a chart of him being the lowest form of life was kinda funny... That's it. I don't remember anything else that made me giggle even a little.
Davin Liming I think it is so bad it's just fun to watch for the badness. I mean it is horrible but it is so horrible kind of loops around becoming entertaining. Like The Room or Birdemic.
Wait, if he's headbanging then I got some perfect music for it. Hold on. *Plays Excision* I'M A FUCKING HEADBANGA BANGA BANGA BANGA BANGA! I'M A FUCKING HEADBANGA!!! *drop*
After having seen Doug Walker, ERod and now you cover this, I feel ashamed that I was among those who liked this film back then. Granted, I didn't really know much better back then, but as an animation enthusiast and a writer of his own original story, this film is just absolutely disgusting on all areas looking back. You guys didn't ruin this film for me, you saved me from it.
Honestly, even as a kid I didn't really like this movie. I didn't think of all of this stuff to know why I didn't like it, but between the poor visuals, boring plot, and unlikable main character, I just sort-of never got invested in it and knew that it was bad. But I'll always remember the surprisingly great gummy fish the theater had while this film was airing....
+Ethanopia I rewatched it a couple months ago. While it's not at all as good as I remember (in fact it was pretty damn bad) I still really enjoyed it for some reason
That sushi restaurant joke probably would've worked (world-building wise) if the owner of the restaurant was owned by a shark, or something along those lines.
+Munzur Baba he is a creative person and a good friend, but he let's people walk all over him a lot and believes he is not good enough because bojack keeps putting him down
Patricia Schlabendorff With all the flaws these interesting characters have, you can fuck off with that argument. Letting people walk over one isn't a complex flaw, besides he makes it good his own now. I just hate how he treated Bojack at the end of season 3. He was very disrespectful against Bojack. Yes, he did only let him live by him so that he wouldn't be lonely but atleast he let him live by him. He could have shown at least a little bit of respect and could have cared about him. So yeah, I hope they aren't goint to portray him always in the right so much anymore.
"He trips underwater...Who in the halibut, trips underwater?"Mr.Enter, if I may borrow a quote from you:Pointing out your problems does NOT make them go away!
I don't think it'd be so bad if only it were simply a better movie. Aside from the ugly will smith donkey fish face, I actually like the art style. Though movement is a bit stiff. If everyone looked more like the sharks we'd be fine. Finding Nemo was much better at making their fish have people faces without it looking like shit - this shit is on par with SEMAN the n64 fish.
Jonathan Smith Nah man nah. An easter egg is a hidden treasure. Dreamworks on the other hand is more known for random, annoying pop references that are impossible to miss because they're right in your face.
I was always considered weird as a kid because I absolutely DESPISED this movie. I thought it was ugly, and hated the overall look. There's so much brown and grime, so much so that when we do get bright, colorful scenes/characters, it's unsettling, and incredibly jarring when we cut back to the brown grime.
+Da Lime Considering how he constantly banged his head on the wall from the shear stupidity in this movie and whatever else shown in the movie that probably made him lose a good amount of brain cells (not to mention his quote "I'm gonna be as stupid as Oscar once this video is finished"), it's pretty easy to see how he made that simple mistake.
Futurama had an episode where a gag was one character lampshading the implausibility of underwater events, but that was in tone with the show and actually funny. “That just raises further questions!” It also dedicates many other jokes to the underwater setting, instead of a one off attempt at underwater lamp shading.
No, my argument is not that it's 'kids these days", it's kids.... *in general* that watch garbage due to undeveloped critical thinking as long as it moves and is on the tv. You're just constructing a strawman and knocking it down by mentioning some petty fighting between generations. I'm a millennial as well ffs.
Essentially your view on this film aged like sour milk? Don't worry, a lot of us have that moment we realize something we grew up with loving in our youth doesn't feel that good anymore
Gemmygod Well, there's worse... I mean, I remember not liking this movie years ago but, to be fair, being in my midthirties, I am not that easy to entertain when it comes to animated flicks. I re-watched it a few days ago and it was as I remembered: bland and annoying! The voice acting is tight, tough! Still I wonder what Will Smith and Angelina Jolie thinks of this movie now...
If the movie ended with Oscar getting eaten by the shark mafia, I could actually respect it for going all out with the "lying's baad, mm'kaay" message.
To this day the only reason I think this movie made any money was because of star power. Check out this cast: Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Renée Zellweger, Angelina Jolie, Jack Black, and Martin Scorsese in 2004 Hard not to make money with a cast like this, even with a shitty film.
true, you get that much star power in a room and throw millions at advertising and you cant help but turn a profit. The cast could spend 90 minutes recreating mozarts complete works using nothing but kazoos and armpit farts, and it would still turn a profit.
Funny when you said Shark Tale was the most successful bad movie in history. That's just like how Teen Titans Go is the most successful bad show of all time.
It doesn't, really. People are angry because of the old series (which was fantastic) and because CN use TTG in a horrible way, ignoring everything else just to spam TTG 24h, every day. But the show have some splendid ideas. Sure, plenty of jokes are shallow and low, some episodes are trash, but for each bad one you get a good one. Especially later seasons when they found their identity as a comedy/parody, full of fun commentary on cartoons, superhero tropes, popularity etc. They make plenty of fun episodes that are self-aware too, like for example the Wally-T one, which was pretty hilarious. Don't hate on it because everyone do so ;) It's a fun show, just handled very badly by its company and that needed some time to find its footing.
I remember one episode of that "thing"... I was in my room on my computer when I needed to go to the bathroom, when I left my room and lead myself to the Living room where my little sister was watching TV... Well... It was a shot of all the Titans kissing an over detailed gross muscled arm... Fuck that show.
I LOVED this movie, and still love it. But you make some very good points, and opened my eyes to how it really is kind of a corporate cash grab. Kinda funny looking back. It has not aged well. I was expecting a lot of dislikes because you're hating on a movie that had good reception, but there's a lot more likes than dislikes and that's really satisfying.
hope nichole ...That's still not the weirdest nightmare I've heard in my life. My cousin said she had a dream when she was little where Junie B. Jones was trying to murder her.
10:46 White fish = a reference to the colour of the white meat. It's a culinary classification system used for making a distinction between fish types as a function of how they taste and how to cook them. Pufferfish is a white meat fish. This is as opposed to oily fish like salmon. This is an intentional "clever" pun by the writers, but that doesn't make it any less cringey.
22:36 Well... you're assuming that the sharks from Lenny's family are the only sharks in the WHOLE sea. It's not impossible to two persons (or in this case, sharks) die in the same day, and Lenny didn't came back when his brother died, he ran away even before the word "shark killer" appear, so he could not known that the "shark killer" was Oscar
I'd argue that Mr. E's reaction is perfectly reasonable. If you're going to have a character react in a way that only makes sense if the protagonist might have killed a mobster from a different family who happened to die on the same day, the other mobster should probably be mentioned at some point, especially if that reaction is tied into a plot point.
The under-the-sea fish-mafia story with a bunch of godawful puns has already been done 12 years previously - it was a Hanna Barbera cartoon called Fish Police. It aired for 6 episodes before they decided to do the humane thing and pull the plug.
So when do Oscars parents send him to live with his uncle shredder in Bel air?
Mother of God.....Thats brillant. SOMEBODY CALL DREAMWORKS AND HIRE THIS PERSON!!!
+Jack Rose Reviews Somewhere, Rob Letterman is kicking himself for not working that pun in somehow.

Genius
+Jack Rose Reviews Shut Up! Like MrEnter said, just because they're underwater, doesn't mean they constantly have to make underwater puns; that's the equivilent of Smurfs making Smurf/Blue Puns, because they're Smurfs and they're blue.
theory
this film is the mr puff backstory that mrs puff doesn't like to talk about
*She dosen't like to talk about it* LOL I like that theory!
Holy hell that makes so much sense XD
So she was a man fish
Mrs Puff has said before shes had to move to a new town with a new name. Her name before was Mrs. Sykes, but her husband's ties to the mafia put her in danger. They ended up divorcing because Mr. Sykes cared about her and didn't want her in danger, but associating with "Sykes" was still risky, so she thought of the name "Puff" and moved, coming up with a story about her husband being caught by the hooks.

I'd argue that _Shark Tale's_ color palette issues go well beyond just being greasy, grimy, and unpleasant. I've found media with far bleaker palettes far more appealing than _Tale._ The problem is that the greasy-grimy palette is inconsistent; some parts try to evoke _Godfather,_ while others try to evoke _Finding Nemo._ You have colorful characters and grimy characters interacting together, in front of backgrounds that often mix the stylistic influences by basically dumping one atop the other.
Given that the color palettes and styles of Finding Nemo and The Godfather are basically the closest opposites you can go, it'll be foolish to combine them in such a lazy way. Seriously, I was lost by the tone of this movie.

With mutated fish that look like various celebrities!

You wanna know the difference of actual work and research that went in Shark Tale vs Finding Nemo?
Shark Fact: Fathers don't hang around after they've mated with the mom.
Finding Nemo: Shark- *crying* "I Never Knew My Fatha!"
Shark Tale: *Has father be mob boss and raise his sons with no mother in sight*
Fun fact: Finding Nemo's crew took marine biology classes when making the movie.
It's a special, precious kind of failure to manage to say the exact opposite of the truth (Like that part of Shark Tale did, a movie that failed to impress me when The Last Airbender fucking AMAZED ME!) when you could look it up on Google.
that's racist wow
haysooos lol
I NEVER KNEW MY FATHER!
It's a pretty accurate movie, fish are some of the least intelligent creatures on the planet.
csd I appreciate your type of humor
csd and Oscar is the white man and Sykes is a black man (Racist Warning)
I can't eat breaded fish because I have Celiac so... guess I have no reason to like them now!
zeemgeem Good joke but not really true. Scientists who studied a blind cave fish noticed it was able to count. And of course that whole thing about goldfish memory is just a myth. MythBusters actually debunked it in one of their episodes.
I know they aren;t actually fish but cuttlefish have the largest to body brain of any animal
This got nominated for Best Animated Feature the same year as The Incredibles and Shrek 2.
Dreamworks clearly threatened everyone who was in it to star in it or they would be sleeping with the fishes.
Godamnit
wow
Well that must have been a whale of a problem for them.
Are you shore about that?
i thought the food puns in foodfight were bad.
“Ah stop your moaning Oscar. It could be a lot worse.”
“Yeah it’s true. I could be in a Sci fi flop by a director that people love at first then question why they love him.”
Bill Nye?
Are you talking about After Earth?
@@teddylancer2069 I think that's what he's talking about. It was, after all, a science fiction film that starred Will Smith and caused people to question why they ever liked him. Not only was all the acting in that film bad, but it reflected poorly on him as a person (being obviously both a Vanity Project and a Nepotistic attempt to prop up his son's acting "career").
DENIED, SIT DOWN!
Jamestown It’s Shyamalan I was referring to.
Does Lenny not find it awful that Oscar is taking advantage of Frankie's death?
Or any of the other gangsters?
Short answer, no. Why? Beats me. 😞
@@jaxthewolf4572 Lenny hates them, too. This is one of the dumb things in Shark Tale that's simple to explain... obviously borne from sloppy writing rather than intent, but simple to explain.
Lenny just wants his veggitarian freedom so he simply leaves since he knows he’ll be disowned
I mean the brother was like his father if anything is surprising he don't hate his whole family and question his morality after Frankie's death
Lenny doesn't seem to give a shit that his brother died, or that his dad is grieving. He only cares about leaving home because his dad doesn't accept his poor dietary choices. He's a fucking idiot!
This was released 1 year AFTER Finding Nemo? It looks 10 years older.
It has always been kinda like that. Dreamworks animations always differed that much from Pixar & Disney movies. Take "Antz" for example and compare it with "A Bugs life".
They were released the same year and A Bug's Life holds up a lot better
Lol
@@jefferyjones8399 Bugs Life's animation holds up a lot better. The casting...lets call that a draw. Writing...Antz. Yeah, sorry, Antz. No question. So, yeah, it's probably more a matter of preference. Do you prefer breezy animation, or do you prefer a darker, stakes driven, narrative?
I like both companies, they're just good at different things

Revisiting this, I just realized a few better movies to show kids that this offers:
- If you want to show your kids a movie about animated fish, rent/buy them Finding Nemo or The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.
- If you want to show them a movie teaching the lesson that lying is bad, show them the Veggietales Larry Boy movies.
- If you want to watch the Godfather, rent The Godfather.
Exactly
If you wanna see a film with Robert and Martin scorcese rent or buy

If you wanna watch will Smith movie from 2004 rent or buy I, robot
If you wanna watch a good Dreamwork’s movie, rent or buy

I totally forgot the casual domestic violence/partner abuse scene with Angie. CRIPES.
You meant Lola i am sure
Had this been gender-reversed, this movie wouldve not even aired
Angie's _not that much better_ in hindsight. She's _not_ a nice character, she's a "Nice guy" before that term became what it is today. She does favors and nice things for Oscar _expecting him_ to fall in love with her and acts like he's cheating on her when he's interested in someone else when a) they _weren't_ an item prior to Oscar and Lola's kiss and b) Angie kept hiding her feelings and expecting Oscar to read her mind when she should know by now that he's _too stupid_ to pick up what's in _blatantly obvious_ let alone implications.
@@rogue7723 I'm so glad I'm not the only one who despise Angie and see her as a moron and not much better than Lola. And when also a discrete number of people find her a clingy nuisance while the writers' intent was to put her relationship with Oscar as the heart of the movie and a great moral, you understand something went wrong... and how not to mention she keeps telling him not to aim high if he wants to be happy (I'm sorry, but the sentence "You don't have to live at the top if you wany to be a somebody" sounds like this and she never even tries to suggest him an alternative way to achieve his goal. Wow Angie, for a conscience you really suck...

A funny story of mine:
I took ballet for nine years, and I was in the waiting room for my turn on stage for my recital routine, and people were playing movies, It was fun! We watched frozen...But then... They needed a new movie to play..and they chose "Shark tale" I was like "What is this? It kinda looks like Nemo...I guess this works" And then twelve minutes into the movie I cried... I was scared....of the main character...FUN!
Huh. Xd.
dude how old are you
Wait why are clams the currency? If fish are people then what are clams? They’re either using animals or people as money.
... I want to give this movie more credit than it deserves, and say it's a reference to how one name for the US Dollar, "buck", comes from deer. Which would put clams as animals. Though that does still bring to question just what the Hellman's their currency is...
@@insulttothehumanrace3807 that is giving them too much credit, "clams" is already used as slang for money in the us. So they just put the slang in literally.
I love how Oysters are love beings in the beginning of this movie, just to make a dumb joke. Are clams considered slaves in this universe? Why couldn't they just have used sand dollars?
Wait a minute, THEY'RE FISH!

It was because of will smith
did you guys forget the draw will smith used to be?? Peopel would see movies just because he was in it, they didnt care about what part he had.
I love will smith too, but this was a blatant exploitation of our love for him lmao
Ben Masta yeah I got cought up by the bullshit too.
I didn't even know he was in it
I would still watch a movie if he was in it
I still watch movies just because Will Smith is in it
thinking emoji he’s the main character ?
The reason this movie was so successful was because almost every kid who fell in love with Finding Nemo the year prior wanted to see this as soon as they saw that it was also about fish
I would know because sadly, I was one of those kids.
Technically Spongebob has done entire plots based around them doing things underwater that shouldn't be possible. For example, in one episode Spongebob becomes a lifeguard despite not being able to swim. What makes it less of a problem is that the plots are still creative and interesting.
Yeah, but in that instance it's still important that it's being done underwater, because the fact that they're breaking the laws of logic is what makes it funny.
I lile to think that whenever they go to the beach in spongebob, the water is a pocket of fresh water that impossibly ended up under the sea
I think it's because in Spongebob it's done for comical reasons, so it works. In this movie you're meant to take it seriously, so it fails.
Also, I'm not too sure about this and I need to go look it up again, but it is possible to have an underwater lake or river, as long as it's made of something denser than water, like brine, which is a very dense mixture of salt and water. The only thing is that I don't think brine can exist in the ocean, only in fresh water, since there is an underwater river of brine found in a lake in a cave.
Dylan Clarkin
Goo Lagoon is supposed to be a patch of mud on the ocean floor, I believe. I don't remember if they actually show _water_ underwater, though.
***** A lot of times characters are shown taking a bath or showering. Even in earlier episodes where the logic was a lot more consistent. Unless that's the same "goo" of course.
Wow. I never really realized the beautiful colors of Finding Nemo until now.
Also, I know this this movie is just for cash and puns, but it should have been "codfather." I just like puns.
Buffbuff da Fluff Better late then never.
Your user icon probably sums up what many people think about this movie in a nutshell. XD
Remember when ScreenRant said both Finding Nemo and Shark Tale have beautiful animation????
Good thing someone found a plural amount of things to enjoy, however, Finding Nemo has animation that is as masterful as the way its stroy, characters and humour was executed to make it one of the greatest films from a great animation studio, but Shark Tale, on the other hand, has animation which Mr. Enter, Jambareeqi and AniMat (welp, possibly soon) described so well that like its sexistly stereotypical characters, it's one of the reasons why this is one of our most disliked films by an otherwise favourable animation studio that made phenomenons like The Prince of Egypt, Kung Fu Panda 1 & 2, Megamind, the How to Train Your Dragon trilogy, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa and more.
They hired so many dads to make the fish jokes.

But he won by doing N O T H I N G
@@timothymclean He's talking about when Luigi wins by doing absolutely nothing meme
@@DarrionTheIdiot Ah.
Well, I'm pretty sure he was famous before that.
When I was younger I really liked this movie, because from a scientific standpoint the whalewash symbolizes a symbiotic relationship between animal species. Also, I really liked the vegetarian shark. I don't know if it was because he didn't fit in with his family, or that he just made a pathetic shark or what, but I liked his character... even if it gave the false impression that carnivores can live without meat. Seriously. Don't make your cat a vegetarian. They could die. There's a reason why cat and dog food pride themselves with having meat listed as the first ingredient. It's just healthier for the animal.
Really? Ah, how insightful. I am glad you found some redeeming value in the Jack Black shark, Lenny. If only Shark Tale was a better movie and rewritten better like Toy Story, you would be all set! November 17, 2019, 2:51am
I mean, you do realize most animals are carnivorous?? Dunno why kids’ movies try to avoid showing carnivorous animals eating other animals. It gives off a stupid perception of the real world. Say with the Lion King, what Rafiki does to baby Simba in the intro, that’s literally how baboons kill lion cubs. Not trying to be graphic, but this is literally how animals act. It’s similar to the live action Little Mermaid, there’s a song she sings (in her head) about how the humans see fish and most marine life as food, when there’s literally a part where Scuttle eats a fish in front of her?? Would Ariel ban fish harvesting upon marrying Eric?? That would have a huge negative impact on kingdoms that trade with his kingdom because they can’t buy certain resources
@@kristinahuchison2511 This is why I wish there was an adult version of The Little Mermaid. I always thought they lived in a society where fish that contributed to society stayed alive and those who couldn't were ate. This would explain when Sébastien said to turn him into a crab cake when he failed to babysit Ariel.
And, yeah, it really disappointed me when in The Ice Age sequel the tiger is showing signs of starvation and they just draw it up as a will power issue.
You might think you know, but you have NO IDEA.
I have no idea of what, Oscar the Wrasse (or should I say Jacob Sartorius)??????!!!!!!! How much you let us down by your abusiveness?????!!!!!!! >8(
Deserves an Oscar for dialogue
Holy shit, I scrolled down and read this right as the character said it.
Reminds me of when the head-writer of Community ranted that the worst possible way you could introduce a character is have them turn to the screen, announce their name to the audience and say something snarky like "Hi, my name's Steve and if you're thinking what I'm thinking, keep watching".
"Hi! My name is TJS, and fuck you all, I like using horrible cliches to excuse my lack of talent"

There is actually a good version of this movie. It is called "Rango".
Seriously, Rango is the same plot in a western setting, but good.
Schwarzer Ritter Your opinion, m8.
Y'know with the absolute shallowness of the Academy I can only assume it was nominated for an Oscar...because it had a main character named Oscar and someone thought they were hilaaaarious
That's a powerful guess. But the Oscars have to do with a FAR superior DreamWorks Animation films known as Chicken Run to the point where "Best Animated Feature" was a born category. 😉
Wow, Shark Tale over The Polar Express? That movie is probably one of my favorite Christmas movies, and definitely in my Top 5 favorite movies, the quality of the visuals & animation still amaze me years later, it's held up very well. I never read the original story, but I heard the film was also extremely faithful to it. I'd watch this movie 10 times over Shark Tale any day
Yeah, Polar Express is great. Shark Tale being chosen over it is ridiculously stupid...
And the original story was a short, charming read. They basically took the plot of the book and added a lot of stuff (Which was a necessary move to make it a movie. Adapting the book by itself would result in a 12-minute short, at most).
***** Only about 30 pages, with pictures on each page. Young reading material.
You can't expect the characters to be fleshed out when it's based on a book.
It's rare that a movie adaptation captures the personality of a protagonist.
And in this case, the protagonists name is "The little Boy", they didn't really put too much focus into the characters, and I'm kind of glad they didn't, it made the characters easier to project onto.
Only two characters gets a true name' "Billy"(the very little shy boy) and Sister Sara, whose only mentioned i think in the beginning and end to the book. There's Hero Boy (protagonist) Hero Girl (the...well, girl) The Know It All Kid (the brainy boy who..well, thinks he knows everything" and the Conductor
And then there is Hero Girl, the second protagonist.
"this is the carwash. i mean the carwash. i mean the attempts to hide that it's a carwash." i love when you do that repeated mistake thing it kills me every time
So, this is why Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards: so whenever you Google "Will Smith Oscar" this crappy movie wouldn't pop up.
Freaky Friday crossed with Aliens...
So a movie about a space marine and a xenomorph who switch minds and end up seeing into the other side's ways and problems, and meet those who they would normally be fighting as allies, and in the process realize that each side is not necessarily in the right or wrong.
I mean I'm sure an idea like this had been done before, but with marines and aliens? Hell yeah I'd watch that..
How does a one-off joke make a better idea for a story then half the movies that exist?!
Partly because about 70% of stories that do some kind of body-swap are just for comedy, while your pitch on it sounds like it could be a serious plot, with some decent social commentary.
Partly because seeing a xenomorph trying to adjust to a human body would be either hilarious or interesting. Or horrifying.
Really, we could make a whole comment chain answering that question.
DynoStretch This comment should be on TV Tropes.
DynoStretch Personally, I think it could work better as a horror movie.
A space marine and a Xenomorph end of switching bodies. The alien, now in the human body, uses its appearance to sneak in plain sight and slowly works to try to kill everyone left aboard the ship. The marine in the Xenomorph body works to try to find some way to stop the alien, but has to hide from all of their former friends, knowing in their current form they would be shot on sight. They also either have to try to find a way to switch back, or, if necessary, kill the alien in their body and spent the rest of their life alone in a foreign body.
And again, this entire thing originated from a one off joke in a review of a movie infinitely worse than that premise.
stride99 I would totally watch that.
DynoStretch the alien trapped in the Marines body would find it so weird not having neon green, acidic blood and the marine trapped in the aliens body has to deal with the strict alien queen boss who hates how he is behind the face hugger job and almost fires the poor marine....holy shit I would watch that

I do miss making these...
this movie is definitely shit and your points are extremely valid but i can't deny i loved it as a kid
Yup. Kids tend to experience more extreme emotions than adults, and when they're looking forward to something (e.g, that cool-looking movie they've seen -ads- trailers for on TV), the positive emotions from their hype can drown everything else out. By the same token, if they're _not_ looking forward to something (e.g, a book they have to read for school), the negative emotions from their anti-hype can drown out the thing's redeeming qualities.
I'll admit it, I also enjoyed this movie as a kid too. And I still kinda enjoy it (ironically of course)
I still enjoy it despite many of it's flaws. I respect anyone's opinion towards it (very understandably) being bad.
Well like he said it is much worse now then it was in 2004
Same
It was a bit shocking that a lot of people seem to not like this movie, and after the video I can understand why. Your description of the history and other stuff about the movie does make sense, yet despite, I still have a strong liking to this movie, and I don't think that will change anytime soon.
It’s a guilty pleasure for me.
Sounds like Oscar is made to be like a inner city black stereotype but failed horribly , the car wash thing made me think of the Dr.Dre n Snoop movie The Wash lol.
I actually think that was the plan 😅 It's like they threw random movies in a hat and drew a few times. And out of all the movies they could have picked they got that dumpsterfire of a rapper movie (which I actually kinda enjoy as it's so bad it's good again) and out of all rappers they could have picked, they picked Will Smith, the mainstreamiest of rappers (and probably also the most kid friendly they could dig up). And then they probably told him to be the freshest of princes to ever fresh.

I've never understood the "she kissed him so it must be his fault" cliche. If you SEE her kissing him, WHY ARE YOU GETTING PISSED AT HIM!? And if he tells you she kissed him first, HE HAS NO REASON TO MAKE IT UP. This happens in every fucking romance movie and every time this happens the woman ALWAYS assumes it's the guy's fault. If she actually tried TALKING TO HIM, maybe she'd learn NOT TO ASSUME EVERYTHING YOU SEE IS REAL!

I don't mind people not liking it, I don't like it much myself, but I do think most of the hate for this movie comes from people straight-out missing the point...
Nadia Rey just because it's a cartoon doesn't mean it excuse how shitty of a movie this is. If anything you don't understand why people hate this
That's what I said. And I didn't say anything about it being a cartoon excusing the movie's "shittiness". I simply don't think it's as shitty as some people seem to think and I can only guess people are missing the overall point of it being a parody of the gangster movie trope. It's like when Zootopia used the two-cop team-up movie trope/setting/structure for their plot. You think Zootopia got this much hate for it? But Zootopia, for all its unoriginality, had a great delivery in the feels department. Shark Tale? Its worse sin? It's simply too forgettable.

3:00 And another thing.... You know what's really tragic here? This over-realistic and boring color pallet could have actually done the movie service. Think about it - imagine they give Oscar an actual real goal in life besides just being famous - imagine his goal instead is to go out and explore the ocean - explore farther beyond the reef and out into the ocean than any of his kind have ever done. He leaves the city behind to find a life of his own, and in that journey, he discovers a whole new world of color he had no idea existed - imagine like when Jack Skellington found Christmas Land, he suddenly finds places as vibrant and beautiful as what we saw in Finding Nemo. But in trying to go home to tell his friends about all this, the evil Shark mafia tries to stop this expansion to new territory because reasons - I don't know, maybe they're afraid of losing their influence of fear over the little fish people. So from then on, a lot of the shark scenes are back in this gritty dark dank area of the sea that helps for foreshadowing but then along comes Lenny the free spirited shark who doesn't wanna be in the Mafia and wants to find a new life too, and ultimately his fate somehow becomes intertwined with that of the little fish man that would normally be his prey.
Thoranzalar Vhazen I think this quote should go on TV Tropes.
Maybe the sharks will stop him because they too are afraid of what's out there
Holy shit you just told a better concept than this entire fucking movie's plot. I wish THIS was the plot instead.
Cartoon Network has recently been working like this: 2 good shows in the morning, 5 hours of TTG, Shark Tale, 5 more hours of TTG, 2 Regular Shows, then Adult Swim.
That is the most accurate way to explain it that I've ever read.
The sad thing is, I saw this exact thing almost happen (just take out first 5 hour of TTG, and place it after Shark Tale)

TTG replaced teen titans and samuri jack on boomerang. WONDERFUL

The part where you talk about how people who are famous don't try to be famous just reminded me of a famous person: JK Rowling.
You see, when she started writing the first Harry Potter book, she was a single parent on welfare and was thinking about suicide. She turned to the thing she was talented at: writing. Harry Potter is now one of the most well beloved franchises. That's something Oscar should've thought about. If he could.
Edit: I just looked at the comments section after three years. Hoo boy, did I create a mess.
She comes from a very rich family the idea that she was poor to begin with is a whole cloth fabrication.

he did review the theme
I forward this.
I think he's planning to.
I watched it, it's really not that bad. The voice acting isn't great, and the humor is a bit raunchy, but it's still kinda entertaining.
Davin Liming I think it is so bad it's just fun to watch for the badness. I mean it is horrible but it is so horrible kind of loops around becoming entertaining. Like The Room or Birdemic.
I loved this movie when I was a kid
I was a stupid kid.
I liked Chicken Little and Shark Tale as a kid.
I was a really stupid kid.
You and me the same Daniel :/
C'mon,Opinions Change,Don't be so Discriminate.
Seconded.
Join the club.
*Pulls out a wine glass and wine.*
this film was my shit when i was younger, like i remember watching it every night
VHS gang
Same. Had a vhs too so I could've easily had it on that.
my name chloe nice 2 met u same
"Deep down, I'm really superficial" is actually a really funny line. Because if you're only shallow, there is no "deep down" lol
Agreed
Can we make MrEnter banging his head against the wall a reaction gif?
YES
I agree! I'd use the hell out of that
Wait, if he's headbanging then I got some perfect music for it. Hold on. *Plays Excision* I'M A FUCKING HEADBANGA BANGA BANGA BANGA BANGA! I'M A FUCKING HEADBANGA!!! *drop*
Here you go j.gifs.com/zmX1kq.gif
Thanks fam
After having seen Doug Walker, ERod and now you cover this, I feel ashamed that I was among those who liked this film back then. Granted, I didn't really know much better back then, but as an animation enthusiast and a writer of his own original story, this film is just absolutely disgusting on all areas looking back. You guys didn't ruin this film for me, you saved me from it.
No reason to insult yourself over it. People can like what they want so long as no one gets hurt.
I actually still like this movie...it's awful, but I like it
Like he said: "It's worse *now* than it was back then
Honestly, even as a kid I didn't really like this movie. I didn't think of all of this stuff to know why I didn't like it, but between the poor visuals, boring plot, and unlikable main character, I just sort-of never got invested in it and knew that it was bad. But I'll always remember the surprisingly great gummy fish the theater had while this film was airing....
+Ethanopia I rewatched it a couple months ago. While it's not at all as good as I remember (in fact it was pretty damn bad) I still really enjoyed it for some reason
That sushi restaurant joke probably would've worked (world-building wise) if the owner of the restaurant was owned by a shark, or something along those lines.
Fish eat each other in the wild all the time, tho.
12:50 "If you're famous just for being famous, then you're probably the joke of all society."
So... the Kardashians?
Exactly
Motherdragon64
And Scarlet Moffit
Motherdragon64 plus Paris Hilton
She's famous for her... uh.... "videos".
I'm a Will Smith fan myself. But in this movie, the character he plays is portrayed as an unlikable jerk who never learns from his own mistakes
badgerman true
Thanks
The problem is that Will Smith keeps on making all the wrong decisions. That's what bothers me
was Oscar that big of a jerk?
Donovandragon Careyblade Oscar never learns from his mistakes and thats what bothers me
"This movie stars that guy who lives on your couch and who won't leave no matter what you do."
Now I want a movie starring Todd from BoJack Horseman.
Got a bone to pick there mate?
I like Todd. I would like him more if he had flaws like all the other characters though.
+Munzur Baba he does
+Munzur Baba he is a creative person and a good friend, but he let's people walk all over him a lot and believes he is not good enough because bojack keeps putting him down
Patricia Schlabendorff With all the flaws these interesting characters have, you can fuck off with that argument. Letting people walk over one isn't a complex flaw, besides he makes it good his own now. I just hate how he treated Bojack at the end of season 3. He was very disrespectful against Bojack. Yes, he did only let him live by him so that he wouldn't be lonely but atleast he let him live by him. He could have shown at least a little bit of respect and could have cared about him. So yeah, I hope they aren't goint to portray him always in the right so much anymore.
"He trips underwater...Who in the halibut, trips underwater?"Mr.Enter, if I may borrow a quote from you:Pointing out your problems does NOT make them go away!
The SpongeBob Movie deserved the Oscar nomination more. Great review.
What about Ghost in the Shell.
I've never heard of Ghost in the shell but it must be pretty good.
Harry Thomas Pictures It's a Japanese animated flick
it's a lot of a pretentious philosophical bullshit. it has great animation, though...
***** Yes, but children's shows can still be good if done right.
I actually sort of enjoy the colour scheme in some places. It's at least realistic since everything would be covered in greenish algae.
I liked the color scheme and honestly wasn't bothered by the models that much
I'll admit that the grimy look was pretty nice for some scenes.
I don't think it'd be so bad if only it were simply a better movie. Aside from the ugly will smith donkey fish face, I actually like the art style. Though movement is a bit stiff. If everyone looked more like the sharks we'd be fine. Finding Nemo was much better at making their fish have people faces without it looking like shit - this shit is on par with SEMAN the n64 fish.
JAWS Easter egg: 1:27
Jonathan Smith Nah man nah. An easter egg is a hidden treasure. Dreamworks on the other hand is more known for random, annoying pop references that are impossible to miss because they're right in your face.
Not gonna lie I laughed at the sushi restaurant joke
The joke seems to be it's "Grand Opening" and the place is deserted. I had to think about it. The fish in the movie also think it's a bad idea.
This shit was hilarious! I burst out laughing all this years later! I don’t care, I still love this movie!
Mario Vera Ballón same man
Elliott Henderson best joke of the movie.
Cannibalism in a kids movie.
I was always considered weird as a kid because I absolutely DESPISED this movie. I thought it was ugly, and hated the overall look. There's so much brown and grime, so much so that when we do get bright, colorful scenes/characters, it's unsettling, and incredibly jarring when we cut back to the brown grime.
Sexually attractive fish? That’ll never work... cough cough breath of the wild
Currently playing Breath of the Wild. I agree. While I don't want to bang Mipha or Sidon, I personally do admit that they are quite attractive.
Mipha is still a better character than Ruto. Mipha is shy but compassionate, Ruto is just a creep.
"Am I watching shark tales or idiocracy?" No you are watching the 2016 election
Nah, this doesn't have enough yelling Oompa Loompas.
No, this is Patrick.
Both.
We're going to build a mall and make shoppers pay for it!
Is there a difference?
"I am attracted to you."
that's 7 syllables :P
Da Lime I am attracted to a hot dog bun
+Da Lime Considering how he constantly banged his head on the wall from the shear stupidity in this movie and whatever else shown in the movie that probably made him lose a good amount of brain cells (not to mention his quote "I'm gonna be as stupid as Oscar once this video is finished"), it's pretty easy to see how he made that simple mistake.
+Da Lime I'm pretty sure he got that wrong on purpose just to show how low his IQ has dropped thanks to this film.
probably a pun that describes how stupid the movie is
Da Lime IKR
Futurama had an episode where a gag was one character lampshading the implausibility of underwater events, but that was in tone with the show and actually funny. “That just raises further questions!” It also dedicates many other jokes to the underwater setting, instead of a one off attempt at underwater lamp shading.
Most movies try to avoid product placement--or at least, be sneaky about it.
But Shark Tale? Pfft. *TO THEM, IT WAS A CHALLENGE THAT MUST BE MET.*
Let us not forget Food Wars
+Zachary Smith I haven't seen that, but it looks fun.
+DeeDeeDoeyDee I LOVE your username... XD
I haven't seen it. I'm too old to relate to emogi's.
I did grow up with text-based smileys, though.
deydey yeah basically.
kids are so stupid at that age that they watch anything cringy and find it fun.
No, my argument is not that it's 'kids these days", it's kids.... *in general* that watch garbage due to undeveloped critical thinking as long as it moves and is on the tv.
You're just constructing a strawman and knocking it down by mentioning some petty fighting between generations.
I'm a millennial as well ffs.
I can see someone liking this in a "so bad, it's good" way.
When I was little I was watching this film with my grandma and she was as confused as I was.
"I thought I got this movie in English" I'm gonna use that line more.
I actually likes this movie as a kid.......wow have times changed.
liked
I used to like Pixars Cars as a kid, but now it bores me to sleep
Essentially your view on this film aged like sour milk? Don't worry, a lot of us have that moment we realize something we grew up with loving in our youth doesn't feel that good anymore
I like the video game more. The movie, not so much.
YOU have changed. For the better, I hope.
wait what the fuck.
the fish had a fishtank.
with water
and fish

Fishception
Your profile pic makes it way better
Pepsia Gaming thanks d00d
UNDERWATER?! That gives Mr Enter even more of a reason to question why this is not in the human world
DarknessandFun Mhm, hope he reads this, on second thought maybe not, as he'll likely get extreme brain damage from the head banging.
Excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall for liking this movie back when it first came out.
Mr Enter already has a concussion. Please don't let his well being go in vain.
Honestly, I always thought it was kind of gross looking. Especially the fish themselves. It's just very squicky.
Gemmygod lol
Carl Bloke Why'd you repeat that?
Gemmygod Well, there's worse... I mean, I remember not liking this movie years ago but, to be fair, being in my midthirties, I am not that easy to entertain when it comes to animated flicks. I re-watched it a few days ago and it was as I remembered: bland and annoying!
The voice acting is tight, tough! Still I wonder what Will Smith and Angelina Jolie thinks of this movie now...
If the movie ended with Oscar getting eaten by the shark mafia, I could actually respect it for going all out with the "lying's baad, mm'kaay" message.
"If that's what love makes people look like"
Don't you mean lust?
I can attest. That's true. Lets just leave it at that.
I'm honestly too blinded by nostalgia to look at this with a critical eye.
Ikr!! :(((
I'm with you
sAME
Same
yeah...
To this day the only reason I think this movie made any money was because of star power.
Check out this cast: Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Renée Zellweger, Angelina Jolie, Jack Black, and Martin Scorsese in 2004
Hard not to make money with a cast like this, even with a shitty film.
And the star power is a big part of why it got nominations.
Don't forget about Peter Falk.
its true
true, you get that much star power in a room and throw millions at advertising and you cant help but turn a profit. The cast could spend 90 minutes recreating mozarts complete works using nothing but kazoos and armpit farts, and it would still turn a profit.
lol so true
"I Am Attracted To You"
"That was 5 words. *8 syllables.* "
1. I
2. Am
3. At

7. You
Dang. Almost...
Joshyy I - Am - A - Tra - C - Te - D - to - you
The thing you said about famous people for being famous should be right but like... the entire Kardashian family.
Kieran Stark for sure
This video has done absolutely nothing but convince me that this piece of shit film is actually a masterpiece.
Sir Pwnington lol
Same watching this just makes me wanna watch shark tale again
I don't get how that works but okay.
Sir Pwnington I love how horrible at lying you are.
It wasn't trying to.
Funny when you said Shark Tale was the most successful bad movie in history. That's just like how Teen Titans Go is the most successful bad show of all time.
kirbyboycoolness Well, most successful movie with a less than average critical reception.
Sausage Mahoney seriously? TTG sucks
Positive Vibes And I am sure even the script writers knew that.
It doesn't, really. People are angry because of the old series (which was fantastic) and because CN use TTG in a horrible way, ignoring everything else just to spam TTG 24h, every day. But the show have some splendid ideas. Sure, plenty of jokes are shallow and low, some episodes are trash, but for each bad one you get a good one. Especially later seasons when they found their identity as a comedy/parody, full of fun commentary on cartoons, superhero tropes, popularity etc. They make plenty of fun episodes that are self-aware too, like for example the Wally-T one, which was pretty hilarious.
Don't hate on it because everyone do so ;) It's a fun show, just handled very badly by its company and that needed some time to find its footing.
I remember one episode of that "thing"...
I was in my room on my computer when I needed to go to the bathroom, when I left my room and lead myself to the Living room where my little sister was watching TV... Well...
It was a shot of all the Titans kissing an over detailed gross muscled arm...
Fuck that show.
The fact that this beat the sponge bob movie and the polar express makes me lose hope in humanity
I LOVED this movie, and still love it. But you make some very good points, and opened my eyes to how it really is kind of a corporate cash grab. Kinda funny looking back. It has not aged well. I was expecting a lot of dislikes because you're hating on a movie that had good reception, but there's a lot more likes than dislikes and that's really satisfying.
The animation aesthetic is kinda horrible though.
I had to watch this in school and I had nightmares about the Angelina Jolie fish trying to kill me.
hope nichole ...That's still not the weirdest nightmare I've heard in my life.
My cousin said she had a dream when she was little where Junie B. Jones was trying to murder her.
stride99 lol
Lmao
+hopenichole Why exactly did you have to watch this at school?
Oh my god I just had a good laugh over this. Thank you
10:46 White fish = a reference to the colour of the white meat. It's a culinary classification system used for making a distinction between fish types as a function of how they taste and how to cook them. Pufferfish is a white meat fish. This is as opposed to oily fish like salmon. This is an intentional "clever" pun by the writers, but that doesn't make it any less cringey.
É Ishii A pun that probably .00001% of the audience actually understood.
Puffer fish aren't white fish
32:19 The funny thing is, most of the time Mr. Enter's Animated Atrocity reviews are funnier than whatever it is he's actually reviewing
(sigh) No duh, Captain Obvious. Just a meaningless diss. April 10, 2020, 5:08pm
22:36 Well... you're assuming that the sharks from Lenny's family are the only sharks in the WHOLE sea. It's not impossible to two persons (or in this case, sharks) die in the same day, and Lenny didn't came back when his brother died, he ran away even before the word "shark killer" appear, so he could not known that the "shark killer" was Oscar
Fair enough.
I'd argue that Mr. E's reaction is perfectly reasonable. If you're going to have a character react in a way that only makes sense if the protagonist might have killed a mobster from a different family who happened to die on the same day, the other mobster should probably be mentioned at some point, especially if that reaction is tied into a plot point.
''if you think you can get famous by doing nothing your an idiot'' haha you hear that kardashians?
More like Jacob Satoris
she did RJ
Though his next point, "being famous for the point of being famous makes you the laughing stock of everything" fits.
*cough* Mykan *cough*
Lol
The under-the-sea fish-mafia story with a bunch of godawful puns has already been done 12 years previously - it was a Hanna Barbera cartoon called Fish Police. It aired for 6 episodes before they decided to do the humane thing and pull the plug.
Wasn't it also a comic? (Apparently, the comic had its flaws, too.)
If staging what's going on was funny, CinemaSins would be the funniest channel ever.
Don't forget about Cinemare Sins, dawg.
CinemaSins are Assholes. Proud assholes which makes them even bigger assholes!!
