Shark Tale

Fish mob comedy

Shark Tale is a 2004 DreamWorks animated film about a fish who falsely claims to have killed a shark and becomes a celebrity.

The title puns on "shark's tail" and "tall tale." The film is remembered as a lesser entry in the studio's catalog, often contrasted unfavorably with Pixar's Finding Nemo from the previous year.
