He's right, watching Will Smith and Jack Black in the recording sessions for Shark Tale is more fun than watching the movie Shark Tale. That is a real low point for a movie.
Not really. Behind the scenes stuff when actors are having fun and just goofing is usually a high point. It’s usually not THE high point. It’s normally just a fun distraction after you watch the movie. So when this movie set the bar that low that the outtakes were the best part... well... we’re really Santa clause 3 the escape clause-ing it up in here.
I can agree the film was just plain terrible. DreamWorks and Disney don't need to copy each other just to be popular. The same goes for other creators out there. It is good just as long you make it original. No more of these obvious clichés. Pixar on the other hand makes good original content. So why does DreamWorks keep making B-movies? Why can't DreamWorks just make more good movies like Shrek and Kung Fu Panda?

Funny fact. In Polish version, the movie title is "Oscar The Sharkslayer" and in case of MC voice actor somehow make Oscar a very funny and friendly, so nobody was ever afraid of look of this fish.
Well, the original name for the movie is also called “Sharkslayer”. But the title was too scary for children and and adults so they changed it to “Shark Tale”.
A Mcguffin pearl, an all or nothing horse race, a mob boss and the complex relationship with his son. This film sure does outline like a Scorsese or Tarantino script.
“I have ‘Kung Fu Panda’ coming up to here.” You know, the directors of “Shark Tale” told Jack Black that they were going to make “Kung Fu Panda”, so that he can have a movie where his character is the main protagonist. Angelina Jolie was also recast for the film, because they asked him which actor from the previous movie he wanted to be recast along with him.
@@100lovenana Yep! That’s why it’s my most favorite movie. Well, there’s other reasons: 1. It got me fascinated with marine life, (it’s like “Zootopia” with aquatic animals). 2. It also had Will Smith in it, (who I liked since his role as the genie in the “Aladdin” remake).
@@JarethTheGoblinKingForever i actually think it’d be interesting seeing as though unlike AVGN where you can go back to his first episode and the only difference is the camera and mic quality. Dougs old videos are.... not like his new ones. His first video is literally a bum review. His first few regular reviews on stuff like space jam, the Mario movie or Batman and robin are like 5-10 minutes long and miss a lot of the movie. Seeing him re-review stuff from his first few seasons would be genuinely interesting. Perhaps he could do a month where he picks his four favorite reviews from the first four seasons and re-reviews them.
@@AnimatedTerror That would be interesting. I could see him doing that. Personally, I'm still waiting to see if he'll review my generation's media fever dream, "Mister Magorium's Wonder Emporium". That film's such a preachy, over-sentimental trip and I could see him really going crazy with it.
Wow, wtf. I honestly thought this was a joke until I googled it. This makes the sexualized Angelina Jolie fish from Shark Tale seems tame by comparison.
Finding Nemo: Marlin loses his son and goes across the whole sea to find him. Shark Tale: When a shark dies, a fish lies saying he killed it. The sharks go up at him, except for one. How is that any similar?

Not that odd when you consider the personalities of both characters are extremely similar. Seems like whenever Chris Rock or Will Smith wind up in something animated they're typecast into similar roles. A shame as both are amazingly talented when not being typecast.
I wouldn’t say Osmosis Jones is anything like Oscar, Jones is actually likeable and trying to be a good person because he feels like he’s been wrongfully written off due to the oysters incident (which Jones was totally justified in doing what he did) whilst Oscar just wants to be rich and famous for the sake of feeding his own ego
@@mrcritical6751 that is completely true. But I would counter argue that they're more similar than you think. They're both fairly high energy and loud, both like to act like they're the coolest guy in the room, and both are impulsive, often running headfirst into situations without thinking. But those similarities highlight why Jones is a better written character than Oscar. Everything you mentioned already makes Jones more likable. And to add to it Jones is a more humble character despite his loud personality. He's at least willing to let someone else outshine him for the greater good (albeit not always liking it) and you do get a sense that while he does care a great deal about his image, doing right comes first. He's also immediate to try and act to fix the messes he causes. Whereas Oscar is a purely selfish character who makes his own messes and then cries about them. Long winded point is, Osmosis Jones is how you make a loud, colorful, somewhat obnoxious character interesting and likable, and Shark Tale is how you make people like literally every character BUT the protagonist.
@@mrcritical6751 There was a hinted on the fact that Oscar could have likable moments. In the movie he looked up to his dad despite his job being a lower-class profession. He was socially scarred by his class for it and it fueled his ego since. There were even moments he hesitated to take Angie's pearl because it meant so much to her and tried to resist betting the money (though was poor on the latter) too bad Oscar isn't the only thing that made this movie not age well.

"What if Freaky Fed had boobs?" *AD PLAY* Doctor Evil: HOW ABOUT NOOOO!?!?! I actually thought you put a Doctor Evil at the end there. The ad was time perfectly.
Fun Fact: This film was originally going to be called *Sharkslayer.* However, Jeffrey Katzenberg decided to change it, stating that the original title “would scare children, rather than attract them”.

I still don’t understand how, in 2004, this got nominated for best animated feature. To give you an idea of how stupid that is, the polar express and the spongebob movie weren’t even nominated and the winner that year was the incredibles
The original title for the movie was "Sharkslayer", but it was changed to "Shark Tale" about a year before release, because Jeffrey Katzenberg thought the title might scare families away (the title still appears in some early promotional material). The change is clear in the movie, as in the song before the credits, the singers interlock between calling the movie "Sharkslayer" and "Shark Tale".
In his review of the film, The Mysterious Mr. Enter jokingly suggested that *Sykes was fully aware* of Oscar's deception. Because Oscar's get-rich-quick schemes *are the reason* Sykes is in debt to Don Lino to begin with, becoming Oscar's manager and threatening Lino in his name could be *seen as an elaborate revenge plot to make Oscar a target of the sharks.*
@@TheDragonman104 eh I think he does pretty good reviews. He used to be a mediocre critic but has gotten a lot better over the years with reviewing stuff. He seems to know the rules of animation a lot and what works and what doesn't. I don't agree with all of his opinions his reviews are alright. He isn't really that bad, at least not anymore.
Ah yes, Courage the Cowardly dog. Everyone's favourite childhood trauma. Good times. EDIT: Glad to see im not the only one who's childhood was SCARRED! In a good way. ]:=)
My elementary school played the fuck out of Finding Nemo. So much so, that every kid on campus could quote that movie word for word. We hated it by the end, but at least it was a good movie.
I haven't seen the film, I have a DVD of the tv show based on the movie, which I didn't watch but want to, but me, being stupid, thought it was a DVD for the film itself and looked it up and I agree, this would have traumatised 4 year old me. (It's fine. I wasn't planning on sleeping anyway....)
Idk if it's sad or sad but I owned a localised copy of this movie. And the worst part is enjoying it. I legitimately enjoyed it. And get this: I also owned the game. My childhood was pathetic lol.
7:43 Aaaaaack! OH! BLEUGH! 🤮 I hate seeing nails getting opened ever since I saw that episode of Spongebob with that scene where Squidward gets his toenail gouged out with a sofa leg!

Am I the only one that actually loves this movie? It's silly and fun, even as an adult. I totally understand how others hate this movie, but you know, not everything has to be made as cinematic genius. Let us bathe in blissful ignorance and 2000s hip hop in fish form!
But... I like that that movie Maybe partially because we have funnier jokes and better dubbing in the Polish version BTW In the Polish version Luca doesn't say "Hey Boss, big butts", he says "needle got... slipped"
Oh yeah that is one thing about the international dubs. Sometimes they can just turn a bad movie the completely other way around. I mean I never wached Shark tale but I can say the same thing about the Danish dub of the Polar Express. Like the people doing the translation did a great job. The performances and dialogue were miles better than the Original in english, especially in the first half! Like they actually made the conductor not creepy!
I shit you not when we were kids and this came out my first thought was “Oh look they ripped off Finding Nemo” and my neighbors first thought was “That is one HOT fish!” I just remember being like “....what the actual fuck, Lindsay?”
I remember loving this movie when I was younger. Actually most of my family and friends did, but I think that's b/c it was rare to see animated movies with as many black elements in them at the time. The characters looked totally fine to me (still do), Will Smith is always a treat (at least back then he was😅), and it was the first animation I saw as a kid (besides the Proud Family) that had alot of familiar black centric music in it. I know it didn't do so well, but this is actually the first time I've ever even heard people were creeped out by it lol.🤣 It's kind of a gem in my childhood.

How was this nominated for an Oscar but the Lego Movie or Logan (fucking Logan) wasn't.
Are you fucking serious??????
But both of those movies WERE nominated for Oscars.... Best Original Song (Lego Movie) and Best Adapted Screenplay (Logan). Yes, not the categories people wanted them nominated for, but they were still nominated for others, soooooo...
'Logan' got an Oscar nomination though...
The obvious pun?
@@stormtraitor6545 For Best adapted screenplay. If I’m not mistaken. But alegó movie should’ve been nominated for best animated feature.

Will Smith fish aside, any mention to the fact that every character is a caricature of the actors who voice them? I mean, come on! The Robert de Niro shark has a frigging mole!
I’m sure they were inspired by Mr. Limpet for these designs, but the CG technology wasn’t there yet to make them appealing to look at
This movie really banked on its star power, I know a large magority of Dreamworks movies have a lot of big name actors in their casts but this one really goes for its all-star cast to sell the movie.
thats actually really common for animated characters to look like there voice actors
I just noticed that Sykes has Martin Scorsese’s eyebrows
Will Smith hadn’t done a good movie since like 2012 or 2013
17:45 I feel like the Spongebob type of media from Nostalgia Critic is hinting at a future episode about one of the Spongebob movies.

“What if Freaky Fred had boobs?”
Congrats, Doug: you somehow managed to end this episode in the best AND worst way possible.
Disguises himself as a dolphin, yeah they're totally not a threat to fish aren't they? They don't hunt down huge schools of fish in coordinated groups...
The only two times I smiled in this movie was when the big butts song played and the two fish looked at the octopus like ‘what the heck?’ and I also smiled at the sushi joke
I don't remember a sushi joke. When I saw it in the review I thought "is this like Tokyo Ghoul but with fish?"
It’s like 3 minutes in the film and it was hilarious.
I get that it's a fish city, and nobody's there because... cannibalism, but is there another joke level or something?
I didn't quite get the joke
That was three times then if my calculations are correct

True
Fun Fact: This film was originally going to be called *Sharkslayer.* However, Jeffrey Katzenberg decided to change it, stating that the original title “would scare children, rather than attract them”.
The animation scared them away instead.
@@nicolemiller7760 I was just thinking, "Right, because the character models were already scary enough!"
And the reveal line near the end was "I AM NOT A SHARK TALE!"
They flipped it to make more sense.
that sounds like a fucking awesome title
Another fun fact, in Latin American Spanish version the move was release as The shark frightener lol

The original title for the movie was "Sharkslayer", but it was changed to "Shark Tale" about a year before release, because Jeffrey Katzenberg thought the title might scare families away (the title still appears in some early promotional material). The change is clear in the movie, as in the song before the credits, the singers interlock between calling the movie "Sharkslayer" and "Shark Tale".

In his review of the film, The Mysterious Mr. Enter jokingly suggested that *Sykes was fully aware* of Oscar's deception. Because Oscar's get-rich-quick schemes *are the reason* Sykes is in debt to Don Lino to begin with, becoming Oscar's manager and threatening Lino in his name could be *seen as an elaborate revenge plot to make Oscar a target of the sharks.*
And it was all a plan by the evil banana to send two monkeys to the desert to starve to death.

Who cares about Mr. Enter?
@@TheDragonman104 eh I think he does pretty good reviews. He used to be a mediocre critic but has gotten a lot better over the years with reviewing stuff. He seems to know the rules of animation a lot and what works and what doesn't. I don't agree with all of his opinions his reviews are alright. He isn't really that bad, at least not anymore.
I remember when Will Smith was on ET and was like “Oscar can kick [Finding] Nemo’s ass.”
Then the movie bombed; but it has it funny moments.
It actually did pretty good commercially. 367 million worldwide on a 75 million dollar budget.

I shouldn’t know that
But... I like that that movie
Maybe partially because we have funnier jokes and better dubbing in the Polish version
BTW In the Polish version Luca doesn't say "Hey Boss, big butts", he says "needle got... slipped"
honestly I wanted to say the same thing. So many better jokes and better cast
same about the greek dub as well.
Also in the greek dub Luca just says "Sorry Boss, wrong song" which is simple but way less cringy
The German version is better as well.
This is particularly noteworthy, because I'm Australian and can barely form a comprehensive sentence in German.
Oh yeah that is one thing about the international dubs. Sometimes they can just turn a bad movie the completely other way around. I mean I never wached Shark tale but I can say the same thing about the Danish dub of the Polar Express. Like the people doing the translation did a great job. The performances and dialogue were miles better than the Original in english, especially in the first half! Like they actually made the conductor not creepy!
In the European Portuguese version Luca says «Hey Boss, I think i found the right song».
You missed the actual best joke in the movie.
Frankie: I feel cold.
Lenny: That's because we're coldblooded.
*Lenny gets slapped*
Frankie: MORON...
and then he promptly dies.

I love how in the end, they don't show us the scenes from Courage, but for each one I was able to think of a unique moment for each person.
I remember loving this movie when I was younger. Actually most of my family and friends did, but I think that's b/c it was rare to see animated movies with as many black elements in them at the time. The characters looked totally fine to me (still do), Will Smith is always a treat (at least back then he was😅), and it was the first animation I saw as a kid (besides the Proud Family) that had alot of familiar black centric music in it. I know it didn't do so well, but this is actually the first time I've ever even heard people were creeped out by it lol.🤣 It's kind of a gem in my childhood.
