movie review - Shark Tale
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-seven years and one million words
Toronto, 2005.01.21
This is an animated flick with no fewer than three directors. It's a very paint-by-numbers story of a little guy who wants to make it big, and who captilizes on the mistaken belief that he's killed a shark in order to become a bigshot. I won't bother with the rest of the obvious story.
Aside from the lackluster story, some of the voice work wasn't particularly imaginative. Robert DeNiro as the Godfather, Will Smith as the protagonist, two very obvious choices as the leading women.... No one was even doing a voice (except, to a degree, for the supporting cast).
I was disappointed.
Not recommended.
