I did like Shark Tale, the music’s good and there’s some witty diaglogue… But for some reason I couldn’t really get into the story and the characters. I think it’s because of the animation of the fish mostly. It’s well done, but it’s not my style. What I really liked about Finding Nemo was that they put a lot of thought into how to make the fish express themselves but stay true to their fishy selves. So no fins getting hand-shaped and stuff like that. Shark Tale is not so picky about this.

As for the story itself: it’s not bad, but it’s the stereotypical blundering fool doesn’t know when to quit, gets himself into a whole heap of trouble, then fesses up and gets the girl kinda routine. I know it’s a classic, but still… Originality scores extra points with me.
