When a shark accidentally clobbers himself, a small fish named Oscar (voiced by Will Smith, I, Robot ) just happens to be around, prompting everyone to believe that he killed the shark himself. This lie soon makes Oscar a celebrity, worshipped by the general mass of fish, wooed by a glittering golddigger (Angelina Jolie, Girl, Interrupted ), missed by his best friend (Renee Zellweger, Cold Mountain )--and hunted by the godfather of great whites (Robert De Niro, … mehrGoodfellas ). Can a vegetarian shark named Lenny (Jack Black, School of Rock ) get Oscar out of this mess? The formulaic story of Shark Tale never reaches the giddy heights of Pixar's output ( Finding Nemo , Monsters Inc. , Toy Story ) or the freewheeling comedy of Shrek , but it's capably told and impeccably animated--the sheer technical skill is stunning. Kids won't get the mobster jokes or the other pop-culture references, but they'll enjoy it nonetheless. --Bret Fetzer weniger
