Was it the first bad CGI animated film or was it misunderstood kino...

Looking back, I feel bad for making my mom take me to see this.

Was this movie that bad? I remember liking it as a toddler. Then again, I was obsessed with dinosaurs back then, anyway.

For sure, it was the 9th highest grossing film of the year and even got an academy award nomination. It definitely proved that CGI animated films don't need good reviews to be successful

She probably enjoyed it more. The film was aimed more at the parents that took their kids to see it, rather than the actual kids

Aren't most Dreamworks films ? Heck, i'd say their next 2 films, Madagascar and Over the Hedge, were even more shallow than this

People either love it genuinely or out of nostalgia or think it's the devil incarnate but for me, it's alright

god I remember having all those shitty hand puppets McDonald's put out for that cinematic abortion

These would be funny on a penis

Personally, i love it, mostly out of nostalgia. I still find the urban music video feel and funky color palette to be kinda charming

Those are HAND puppets, not FINGER puppets

Shark tale is unironically better than any marvel film

It’s okay, would’ve been 10x better if the cast were humans though

yes
indisputably

I still own the video game for this movie, but have no recollection of ever playing it

The fact that this was Peter Falk's only voice acting gig will always piss me off

Shark tell was great though.

It was one of his very last roles too. He was in his 70s back then

Not really. A lot of the jokes and some elements of the story, like Oscar pretending to kill Lenny, wouldn't work with a human cast

It's weird how this film had 3 directors, including the ones behind Road to el dorado, Shrek 1 and Detective Pikachu. It was also written by the Ice Age 1 writer, surprisingly

every so often i remember the weird looking will smith fish plush and burst out laughing

He's just a funny design in general. The character is supposed to be an oblivious dumbass, and the design fits very well.

Fuck off this movie was the shit

It was hated? Huh, well im glad that disnt matter to me as a kid, Ijust watched and enjoyed Gill Smith

i like it. people said it has dated references but its still funny without knowing the context

I saw it for the first time last year and it was boring. The plot itself was really underwhelming too.

I don't get the hate for this one. But my love for dinosaurs is probably making me avoid seeing flaws.

that movie is a misunderstood masterpiece

Some of the designs are kinda weird but it's really not that bad

>It's pop culture thing but ghetto
I'm glad this trend died, I mean it got kids' butts in the theaters, but it was lazy leeching.

I was in a dinosaur phase when I saw it, pretty boring movie crisscrossing Walking with Dinosaurs and Land Before Time

The plot was one of my favorite things about it. It was a nice departure from the Point A to Point B stories from most CGI animations at the time, which was getting quite stale

Never understood why critics said that it's all pop culture references. There were a few, but not that much. If anything, Shrek 2 and Madagascar had way more of them imo

Was there really that much ghetto in this film ? Other than a bunch of graffiti spraying kids, there wasn't much. It was more focused on mafias and celebrities than urban stuff

They are still funny even if you dont know the reference

Shrek 2 definitely had the better use of references, while Madagascar had the worst ones imo. This was sort of in the middle.

>Was it the first bad CGI animated film
I'd say that was Final Fantasy the Spirits within.
That was actually pretty good, though.

It's kinda funny how this film and GTA San Andreas came out only a few days apart, since they're pretty similar in some ways, mostly in the ghetto urban setting and black MC

that's just pop culture from hollywood and music making its way into animation and games

Ghetto shit was popular in the 2000s, that's how we got masterpieces like NutShack.

It's a terrible thing. Everyone loved Frankie. May whoever did this die a thousand deaths. May his stinking, maggot-covered corpse rot in the fiery depths of hell.

dreamworks SOUL

pixar SOULLESS

its kino and I will die on this hill. Great caste, great acting, great characters, and great script. Fuck you if you disagree, I'm not fucking arguing.

I'm with you, it's kino. The script is pretty clever

Always loved how they intentionally gave the Scorsese pufferfish some of the silliest lines and moments, like mentioning whale poo or doing the cabbage patch dance. They also highpitched his voice everytime he inflates, which is hilarious to hear

the rasta jellyfish were based

X, circle, X, X, double left, square, right trigger, down, square, square

>whole plot happens because Will Smith Fish gambled his money away instead of paying his debt
>kino script

>Dreamworks film in 2004
>not Shrek
>"The hatred it got from critics back in 2004 was absolutely insane"
Gee I wonder why.

I can understand why he did it, even if it was the wrong thing to do. The race was rigged and the horse payed 200 to 1. The writers were smart enough to show his tragic backstory and how shitty his life was before the gambling scene.

I liked Will Smith fish. I like flawed protagonist that go through character development. Besides, he wasn't selfish or a bad person, just an ambitious dreamer who wasn't very rational or smart.

Whew, glad I'm not the only one who likes this movie
