      @@Deg40000 Sounds like a confusing analogy to compare a food preference to sexuality. Especially since Lenny is presented as the only vegetarian in his community. Also, what about fish that can only eat plants? Are they an analogy to homosexuals as well? Or is it different because Lenny is a shark? Also, how old is Lenny? Why does Lenny never have any aspirations to seek out other vegetarian sharks? You’d think that’d get a passing mention. Imagine writing that analogy and thinking “yeah, he’ll be the only vegetarian in the whole movie, and his family will hate him for it.” But I guess it is for kids, so having him struggle with being gay would’ve been really controversial.

This one and Robots are some of the only ones that mostly hold up, outside of Pixar.

      Noah Arce for a while so many animation studios tried to go for realism in their stylization and the technology just wasn’t good enough at the time for it to do anything justice so it pushed the style too far into the uncanny valley. A lot of animation from the early 2000s did not age well. I’m noticing style swinging back to a more cartoonish style now. I do remember a lot of these movies being acclaimed for their animation at the time tho, it just didn’t age well.

    my only two memories of this movie is the 70s soundtrack which i really enjoyed as a child and, more importantly, a joke that i barely understood on first viewing: theres a quick montage of everyday life in the fish city, and theres a brief moment inside a sushi store. its sudden silence among a lot of music and dialogue, so i paid attention. the fish in charge of the sushi shop is frustrated and throws the knife on the wooden sushi preparing table. so i guess i basically assumed then than cannibalism was just a reality in this grotesque colorful fish world... or maybe not, since the joke was that nobody went to the sushi shop. but there was a fish, not a shark, selling sushi. is cannibalism allowed here, between fishes, but not socially acceptable unless youre a shark? does the sushi selling fish eat fish? was the sushi place catered to sharks but theyre just not big on japanese food? these are the questions that shall go unanswered

      I like how in Shrek, there’s a certain quality to the characters where some of the vibe of the actor shines through even though no one part of it is identical. IDK, maybe just down to something as simple as face expression. The problem with Sharktale is that rather than being a “what if” incarnation of the actor’s stage presence, it’s instead a caricature of their physical appearance.

    Listen, in a way shark tale was ahead of its time. Imagine if shark tale was made in the gay rights/social media/Instagram flexing era. Oscar is what many “influencers” are. A fraud broadly advertising a lifestyle most can’t have and that they don’t truly have. I think the intertwining of hip hop culture made the film quickly dated and that makes us feel less relatable. I do believe with a little more time and care this film could have become a classic, but I’m pretty sure the studio was just rushing to put out films they thought would sell tickets

      He says that line as the perspective he had as a child watching Shark Tale. If he was a kid watching trash era Dreamworks movies when they were released, that means he possibly could not have even seen The Prince of Egypt yet at the time, because it's a more obscure traditionally animated film than the Disney ones and that one would have been released when he was an infant. Also, I felt the same way when I saw Shark Tale in the theatres as a kid.

    I think it's tricky to place the movie's social class-message, because it is clearly making allusions to the natural food chain, and at the same time social social conduct. From a biological/ecological point of view, sharks are just doing their thing by eating the fish: what's more, the ocean needs them to be predators, so it's not evil from them to eat shrimp, fish and such. But from a social point of view, sharks are being more like predatory upper-class mafia, who take advantage of others, when there are other ways for them to survive without abusing their power. I get what they're trying to say, but ultimately, the movie forgets that sharks are sharks, and the whole moral at the ending is confusing when you think of it.

Jack Black as a gay shark who wants to be a dolphin, Deniro as a goodfella shark, The Fresh Prince fish and the scene with the shrimp begging for his life is so funny. It's like a Loony Tunes it's absurdist.

    No matter how often, how eloquently, and how factually people explain to me that "Sharktales" "Over the Hedge" "Flushed Away" "Madagascar" "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "Bee Movie" are objectively bad movies.... I seriously cannot stop liking them. Dreamworks is oddly amazing at creating good, bad movies. They definitely have just straight up bad movies, but the same goes for the good ones. They actually have several of my most favorite movies growing up that I still adore today. "Kung Fu Panda 1-2" "Shrek 1-2" (meme or not they're good movies) "The Prince of Egypt" and "Joseph King of Dreams" (I'm not religious, they're good stories) "Chicken Run" "Sinbad" "Megamind" "Spirit" "How to Train your Dragon 1-2" (I haven't seen the 3rd yet, but I def plan to)
    Dreamworks was created just to spite Pixar, and honestly? I like their movies more.

    It's weird that when you are a kid, obviously you more than likely enjoy and love anything animated thrown at your face. It was the case for me at least. But even as a kid, no matter how entertained you were during a movie, there was something that made you rank them. That you knew some movies were "better" than others. Even a child can feel basically any Disney sequel to be worse than the original ones, and when it came to DreamWorks we all knew in our kiddy brains that Shark Tale, Over the Hedge etc. were not as "good" as Shrek or Road to ElDorado or the Prince of Egypt.
    Not saying the movies cannot be enjoyable, because I for sure liked to watch Shark Tale if someone suggested it, but there is that somewhat "trashy" feeling about some movies even a child cannot deny. True story.

      iRinnda: That‘s why I disagree that kids love „anything animated thrown at their faces“. Even kids have a taste. I never watched Shark Tale, Over the Hedge or Flushed Away because these movies already seemed stupid and like cheap rip-offs in the trailers. I watched Bee Movie and thought it was really terrible because the „message“ in it was really questionable to me. I never even heard of the Road to El Dorado movie you mentioned and I don‘t even know what it is. I didn‘t watch Prince of Egypt because it is religious propaganda. But yes, Shrek was funny. To be fair I wasn‘t really a chils when these movies came out but a preteen/teen. I think I was about 16 when „Finding Nemo“ came out which was a good movie.

    Why has there not been a good quality analysis of Road to El Dorado focusing on its heavy anti-religious subtext? Like I love Lindsay Ellis but she dismissed the film entirely based on a really off base reading of its summary that doesn't capture the fact that El Doradan characters in the film are clearly depicted as using the stupid, selfish Europeans (the Chief mentions that he knows they're human and at the first feast in their honor has to ask everyone to pretend that they give a shit so that he can use their favor to push out the High Priest), that the stupid selfish Europeans are the reason they're at risk from Cortez, and the only way that Cortez even has a chance is because of the political divide between the city. Like people who dismiss it as an inaccurate depiction of Aztec culture despite the fact that it's literally a mythical location that's not Aztec or Mayan or described as such. The movie was one of the only kids movies I've seen that discussed colonization by dehumanizing the colonizing force and bringing up slavery and genocide (Cortez is literally compared to a capricious demon sent to rid the world of humanity).
    But most importantly everyone seems to miss that the High Priest does not act or think about sacrifice in anyway similar to real Aztec beliefs because he is explicitly compared to Christian views on original sin. He wants the gods to purge the streets of humanity, who he views as filthy by their very being. He is very specifically linked to Cortez and his last minute realization about Cortez is not depicted as the goofy native falling for white bois again--this is truly what he was waiting for. This is his god of death sent to purge his city for a thousand years.

      Mine was Madagascar.
      It didn't help that I was one of those weird animal obsessed kids who knew about and liked fossas.

      Mine was Planet 51. I didn't even sit through the whole thing when I saw it on TV because of how boring it was.

    Perhaps the way the film could have and should have gone would be “there are jobs that need to be done but are looked down upon and the people that do those jobs are treated as disposable nobodies with no worth” and from there one can definitely get a story about uplifting and liberating the status of workers. The film doesn’t do that, because they were fucking cowards.
