Shark Tale

Thought this looked a bit naff compared with the other animations around at the time so missed it on the big screen. But to keep half-term ticking along we finally got it out a gave it a look. Pleasantly surprised to say it was a lot better than I thought it would be - the characters are all lively and with a voice-over cast like this one they should be. Getting Martin Scorsese to do a turn is amazing, De Niro is there too, and Will Smith leading the way. The idea is a bit of a cheeky theft from Finding Nemo and a few others but it is done with enough humour to keep it going - I particularly liked jellyfish rastas and the shrimp that plead for their own lives. Not bad at all and deserving of the 3rd place nomination for best animated feature at the Oscars - it is the weakest of the three, but not as weak as I was led to believe. 6.5/10 Kx
