Will Smith provides the voice for Oscar - a fast-talking lowest fish on the reef food chain. This fish works as a tongue cleaner for whales at an old school fish city's Whale. It's a disgusting, down and dirty job, but Oscar is never bogged down by it, He is a dreamer of big dreams, hoping to move up on to the east side someday. His life's only motive is to get rich and famous. He is a self centered and mean fish. He also fails to reciprocate love of his secret admirer Angie (Renée Zellweger) which she loans Oscar an antique pearl to pay off 5,000 clams in loan-shark debt, he shows his shallowness by taking the money to the racetrack and loses it all on a long-shot seahorse.

Don Lino (Robert De Niro) is the god father of the reef. He has two sons named Frankie (Michael Imperioli) and Lenny (Jack Black). Frankie is aggressive and dangerous type a killing machine whereas Lenny is aloof, meek and a vegetarian.

Oscar goes through numerous events from blowing the money to the chase by Frankie and Lenny. But it is Oscar's day and he is saved by a weird trail of confusion. Frankie is smacked in the head with a boat anchor and dies right on the spot. For Oscar it is the right time to twist the accident into a story of a brave fish. Of course he was there at the right place and right time for the first time in his life. With this the shark slayer is born. He gets all the respect and fame he has been dreaming of for a long time. He reaches the top of the reef in no time.

Oscar's fame gets to his head. He starts ignoring his friends and gets involved with a money-chasing fish named Lola (Angeina Jolie) characterized by her oversized lips. At this point Oscar is forgetting that there is Lenny who is the only one who knows his secret.

Shark Tale is a fun treat which is worth a watch by both kids and adults. It is a film which keeps you laughing right from the beginning to the very end. It is fast paced and full of jokes which makes it more fun to watch. Shark Tale does not have any new to show but it makes up for with sassy humor, bright, effective animation and terrific vocal work by all the actors. The CGI is breath-taking, the undersea details are amazing and characters are believable. It is a must see family movie for everyone.
