This animated comedy was released in 2004 by DreamWorks Pictures.Shark Tale provides a fun twist on the classic rags-to-riches tale and follows a lowly fish named Oscar who fantasizes about being rich and famous. One day, the son of a shark mob boss called Don Lino is found dead, and Oscar just happens to be at the scene. Being a bottom feeder, Oscar uses the situation to his advantage and takes credit for killing the mobster, making him an instant hero. As the plot unfolds and his dreams of fame finally come true, Oscar soon comes to realize that his lies may have serious consequences. Shark Tale is rated PG, and is an hour and 30 minutes long.Bring your blankets and lawn chairs as we enjoy this film under the stars.
