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.

Now he has to tread water until he can get the scales to tip back in his favor again.

Not a good movie for racists or homophobes - Shark Tale Reviews
A good movie for everybody else. It is funny and subtle in parts. The voice acting is top notch, and the story has a message about honesty and the value of friends and family. The main character grows, and such growth can teach things to your kids.
My children loved it.
Racists should stay away (Will Smith voices the main character), and also homophobes (they are likely to interpret some sequences as promoting tolerance of gay people). Overall, I'd say it's a great movie for all except for rabid bigots.
