What Parents Need to Know
About Shark Tale
Parents need to know that the plot involves the death of one of the characters, the son and brother of two other characters. This may be upsetting to some viewers. The characters are all so vivid that there may be a Bambi-reaction; some viewers may want to become vegetarians like Lenny. There is also some mild peril and tension. In addition, the movie has some mildly crude humor and a bit of schoolyard language.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about why fame and fortune are so important to Oscar. Why is it so hard for him to realize that Lola is not sincere? They could also talk about why it is so hard for Oscar to see how Angie feels about him -- and how he feels about her. It is also worth discussing how sometimes people like Lenny can have a hard time feeling accepted and loved for who they are. What can friends and family do to support them?

Not bad.
I like Disco which is in the film but something flirty is that Lola fluttered her eyelashes at Oscar. It also has a little bit of crude humor when the old shark passes gas around everyone! Oscar also got a black eye.

Great Movie for Kids
Shark Tale is one of the clean PG movies of today, but still has parental warnings. Sexual content is limited to the song "Gold Digger" playing while Angelina Jolie's character swings her hips and dances seductively. One character dies. And probably the coarsest language is "Who in the halibut?" Great movie. You should see it.

hmmmm....gambling, love interests, a death, torture via jelly fish stings...this is not a movie for little kids. My elementry school child saw only a few scenes but was totally upset about the jelly fish abusing the shrimp - he would need therapy if he watched the entire thing. Most of us try to teach our kids not to hit and kick others...given this, does it make sense that we allow all this violent garbage to pass for kids entertainment?

Decent - but not like the Sherk series
This is a story of a fish named Oscar (voiced by Will Smith) who dreams of being rich, famous and recognized. He works at an average Whale Wash. But when a shark gets accidentally killed by an anchor - he lies as a sharkslayer but when nice-guy Lenny finds out he slayed his dad they team up to try to hide the fact that it's a lie. THE REST IS A SURPRISE 4 U!

Funny Movie, bad message
I feel that this movie has all the right moves when it comes to a fun cartoon for kids; the comedic content was good. My concern is that the message sent is the wrong one. Lying is a bad thing, especially in this case when the whole town is deceived. This is not the message I want to send my children. I feel that if the topic of lying is discussed and the issue is brought up as a family and kids understand that lying is in fact bad, that the movie can just be a fun movie and nothing else.

Not worth the time
Funny ending but boring up untill the last half hour. It feels like the writers were tring to catch the "Finding Nemo" craze and fell short.
