shark-tale-posterThe animation movie Shark Tale is a comedy produced by DreamWorks  and Zellweger’s  first Dream Works animation movie. 

 

In the story, the protagonist is a young fish, Oscar (voice of Will Smith) who falsely claims to have killed the son of a shark mob boss.    Oscar is a Bluestreak cleaner wrasse fish and an underachieving worker.   Oscar dreams of being rich, but he is always in trouble and his plans for getting rich always fail. 

 

Renée Zellweger is the voice of Angie,   a marine angelfish who is Oscar’s best friend and coworker and secretly in  love him.

Doug) who are Jamaican bodyguards and henchmen of Sykes.

 

At the same time, the two sons of Don Lino (voice of Robert De Niro), the leader of a mob of criminally-inclined sharks are in the Wastelands.   Frankie (voice of Michael Imperioli) is the older son of Don Lino and a normal killer shark who takes his younger brother Lenny (Jack Black) to the Wasteland to turn him into a killer.

Unaware that Frankie was the son of Don Lino, Oscar decides to take the credit for killing Frankie and for that he becomes famous and gets the title of “SharkSlayer” which of course calls for Don Lino’s furiousness …
