Shark Tale: Can't we all just get along? - Shark Tale Reviews


Oscar is a fast-talking little fish who dreams big. But his big dreams land him in hot water when a great white lie turns him into an unlikely hero. At first, his fellow fish swallow Oscar's story hook, line and sinker and he is showered with fame and fortune. It's all going along swimmingly, until it starts to become clear that Oscar's tale about being the defender of the Reef is all wet. Oscar is finding out that being a hero comes at a Market Price when his lie threatens to make him the Catch of the Day. Now he has to tread water until he can get the scales to tip back in his favor again.

Can't we all just get along? - Shark Tale Reviews

This movie is cute and funny, and I think it has a great message of tolorating and accepting different viewpoints. Lenny didn't really strike me as a homosexual like some others here, though I can kind of see where that conception might come from. But he was gentle and caring in my eyes (you don't have to have a particular orientation to be sweet) and certainly different from the other sharks. To a carniverous species, disliking meat would certainly be a huge stigma, just as much or more than race and lifestyle in this culture. Even being a vegetarian can carry it's own stigma. I liked the message of understanding, and I don't think that it's a bad thing for children or anyone else to see. If a child is being "indoctrinated" I'd rather the material be of acceptance rather than bigotry or violence. I'm sure everyone has a "Lenny" of some description in their life, and I think this would be a very good movie to go see with that person; and everyone else! Go, have fun, and remember that life is great!
