Trivia:

Anthony Anderson was cast as a sperm whale, but the role's suggestive dialogue got his character cut down. Anderson has only a few non-risqué lines: when the whale meets Angie, and when Oscar cleans the whale's eye.

Goofs:

Revealing mistakes: When Angie and Sykes are watching Oscar on TV "killing" Lenny, Angie's tail passes through the desk.

Quotes:

[first lines]
[a shark slowly approaches a worm, who frantically struggles to get free of his line... ]
Lenny:Hi, I'm Lenny.
[the worm faints]
Lenny:Ooh! Little buddy, did I scare you?

Deserves a Higher Rating

I just can't understand why "Shark Tale" is so underrated. I have watched this movie about 3 times and yet, I still can't get enough of it. The fact is that the characters were very entertaining, the animation was brilliant, and the story was great and was sending messages along with it, such as accept your destiny, be happy with who you are, accept others for who they are, and you don't have to live "on top of the reef" to be a "somebody." This movie also exposes us to the pop culture. What more does this movie need to to make it a good one? I mean this movie has it all: laughs and everything. Then why is it so underrated? I really don't know. I do know though, that "Shark Tale" is one of the best movie I have ever watched.
