What is Shark Tale about?

Oscar is a small fish whose big aspirations often get him into trouble. Meanwhile, Lenny is a great white shark with a surprising secret that no sea creature would guess: He's a vegetarian. When a lie turns Oscar into an improbable hero and Lenny becomes an outcast, the two form an unlikely friendship.

Shark Tale is a 2004 American animated adventure film directed by Vicky Jenson, Bibo Bergeron and Rob Letterman, and written by Michael J. Wilson and Letterman. Produced by DreamWorks Animation, the film features the voices of Will Smith, Robert De Niro, Renée Zellweger, Angelina Jolie, Jack Black, and Martin Scorsese. The plot follows an underachieving anthropomorphic fish named Oscar (Smith) who falsely claims to have killed the son of shark mob boss Don Lino in an attempt to advance his community standing. Oscar teams up with the mobster's younger son Lenny (Black) to keep up the facade.
