The first CGI-animated feature from Dreamworks pictures, Shark Tale is an underwater underworld story featuring the voice of Will Smith as Oscar, a hustler who dreams of moving up on the food chain from his lowly job at a whale wash, by trying to impress a group of gangsters by posing as a famous hitman, The Shark Slayer. When one of the don's sons is accidentally rubbed out by a dropped anchor, Oscar takes credit for the hit and becomes an unlikely hero.  Like tuna on rye, Oscar is caught between two female fish, Angelina Jolie's fin fatale Lola and Renee Zellweger's heavenly angelfish Angie, and he soon learns he's playing a dangerous game in a world where the big fish generally eat the little fish....

Director Martin Scorsese also takes the vocal plunge as a territorial Moe Greene-type puffer fish that sports his trademark bushy brows and rapid-fire delivery.
