Imagine writing that analogy and thinking “yeah, he’ll be the only vegetarian in the whole movie, and his family will hate him for it.” But I guess it is for kids, so having him struggle with being gay would’ve been really controversial.

Ugh. Shark tale. I worked at Office Depot when that movie came out on dvd, and they played that damn movie all day on a loop, every day, for about a month, I worked the tech section and it was a slow store, so I watched this movie roughly about 200 times.
It's actually pretty ok for early 2000's CGI. If you want to see some really dated animation from that era, look at Jimmy Neutron, Ice Age, Hoodwinked, Final Fantasy film, Shrek 1, Chicken Little or Barnyard. This one and Robots are some of the only ones that mostly hold up, outside of Pixar.
Noah Arce for a while so many animation studios tried to go for realism in their stylization and the technology just wasn’t good enough at the time for it to do anything justice so it pushed the style too far into the uncanny valley. A lot of animation from the early 2000s did not age well. I’m noticing style swinging back to a more cartoonish style now. I do remember a lot of these movies being acclaimed for their animation at the time tho, it just didn’t age well.
Shark tale was lit as fuck, the two jelly fish smoked kelp and sharks thought they were fancy as fuck. This movie made you feel and laugh, and had a decent cast to boot
Fuck me, the thought of the Lola x blowfish ship has me almost in tears. I can FEEL the scene where she gives him any form of honest validation, and he just fucking puffs up out of embarrassment - I'm dying at the "...Physical... Chemistry" bit. Don't acknowledge the sexy fish. Don't acknowledge the sexy fish. Don't acknowledge the sexy fish.
The characters models in this movie bother me so much, because they're fish but they're also made to look like the actor who voiced them and it's just so jarring.
I like how in Shrek, there’s a certain quality to the characters where some of the vibe of the actor shines through even though no one part of it is identical. IDK, maybe just down to something as simple as face expression. The problem with Sharktale is that rather than being a “what if” incarnation of the actor’s stage presence, it’s instead a caricature of their physical appearance.
I always found it funny the overall story and feeling of shark tale wasn't a kids movie its a mafia esque movie this nobody takes credit for offing the heads son who's killed many times in the neighborhood and teams with the dons son who is ashamed for being gay to escape and help each other as this nobody now gains power that corrupts
I loved it as a kid and I never thought of Lenny as gay I just thought of him as a weak shark that doesn't impress his dad but I guess he could be gay but I don't think so
my only two memories of this movie is the 70s soundtrack which i really enjoyed as a child and, more importantly, a joke that i barely understood on first viewing: theres a quick montage of everyday life in the fish city, and theres a brief moment inside a sushi store. its sudden silence among a lot of music and dialogue, so i paid attention. the fish in charge of the sushi shop is frustrated and throws the knife on the wooden sushi preparing table. so i guess i basically assumed then than cannibalism was just a reality in this grotesque colorful fish world... or maybe not, since the joke was that nobody went to the sushi shop. but there was a fish, not a shark, selling sushi. is cannibalism allowed here, between fishes, but not socially acceptable unless youre a shark? does the sushi selling fish eat fish? was the sushi place catered to sharks but theyre just not big on japanese food? these are the questions that shall go unanswered
Good point about that sushi shop moment. I did immediately found that a bit funny on the first viewing when I was younger, but now revisiting this movie and scene kind of just left you feel a bit perplexed .
Lazy story writing. It's the old "Predators are evil because they eat meat" issue which always runs into problems when you have anthropomorphized animal characters lol
Imagine if this film was about humans, where the rich upper class-men murdered and ate the poor- and this was such as natural element of the world that it isn't even tackled in the plot and instead the plot focused on getting the cannibal mafia to accept his non-cannibal son, it'd suddenly be so, so dark.
The guy next to him in 2004 but Disney Pixar is going to release this fish kid film so we need to get on that trend. This guy ok um what if the mob where sharks and intend of a car wash it was a whale wash.
Listen, in a way shark tale was ahead of its time. Imagine if shark tale was made in the gay rights/social media/Instagram flexing era. Oscar is what many “influencers” are. A fraud broadly advertising a lifestyle most can’t have and that they don’t truly have. I think the intertwining of hip hop culture made the film quickly dated and that makes us feel less relatable. I do believe with a little more time and care this film could have become a classic, but I’m pretty sure the studio was just rushing to put out films they thought would sell tickets
Claystead yes but keep in mind it did come out 10 years before ss marriage was legal. Also being gay was treated more as a joke than than taken seriously. I think had Shark Tale come out later with more time put into and writers who really loved the characters, the story would have been written with care while still being funny.
But the fact that Jablinski Games character (Lenny) is vegetarian is actually a stereotypical metaphor of homosexuality, so it kinda gay rights in the movie
suggestion: instead of a sharktale script doctor choosing either to focus on a critique of social hierarchy OR a learn-to-accept-your-situation story, Oscar changes society so that this very necessary job of whale-washing gets the respect it deserves.

@@josen7941 a silver-tongue can extrapolate anything from the tiniest detail. that's why religious texts are so effective. sometimes, the curtains are blue, just because the author wanted them to be blue and nothing more.
He says that line as the perspective he had as a child watching Shark Tale. If he was a kid watching trash era Dreamworks movies when they were released, that means he possibly could not have even seen The Prince of Egypt yet at the time, because it's a more obscure traditionally animated film than the Disney ones and that one would have been released when he was an infant. Also, I felt the same way when I saw Shark Tale in the theatres as a kid.
Corekt, she thinks, it's her faith to marry the prince. Farquad thinks, it's his faith to become a king. And Shrek thinks, it's his faith to be the monster. So it's more like a faith triangle. I guess the point is: F**k faith.

I liked it too, but it's probably because they talked about food a lot so I just got hungry, and I was like "yeah food is nice, I feel harmony when thinking about food"
I went into a shark tale rabbithole after watching Schaffrilllas video. That was a couple months ago, and I never got this video recommended. Not until just now, after watching Kevin's recent video... that was about Minecraft. Lol
When I was a kid my dad had to do some work at a car dealership, so he brought me there and sat me in the kids “play room” for around 4 hours. There were workers all around and I was being watched so I was safe, but Shark Tale was being played on repeat in the room. Consider me scarred for life after two watches in a row. I had already seen the movie before, and figured movies were fun, but this movie actually made me nauseous and sad. Anyways, thanks for triggering me.
My movie of despair that I had to watch over and over and over again was Robots. I can't even look at the cover without remembering having to watch it back to back many times made me want to throw up.
I think it's tricky to place the movie's social class-message, because it is clearly making allusions to the natural food chain, and at the same time social social conduct. From a biological/ecological point of view, sharks are just doing their thing by eating the fish: what's more, the ocean needs them to be predators, so it's not evil from them to eat shrimp, fish and such. But from a social point of view, sharks are being more like predatory upper-class mafia, who take advantage of others, when there are other ways for them to survive without abusing their power. I get what they're trying to say, but ultimately, the movie forgets that sharks are sharks, and the whole moral at the ending is confusing when you think of it.
Max Garza My thoughts on these three films exactly! I could maybe even do a chronological marathon of reviewing DreamWorks Animation films to elaborate on why!
I think Shark Tales is a hilarious movie. IDK know if it has a good moral. I think it's just a mad cap dark comedy . Jack Black as a gay shark who wants to be a dolphin, Deniro as a goodfella shark, The Fresh Prince fish and the scene with the shrimp begging for his life is so funny. It's like a Loony Tunes it's absurdist.
Using sharks as oppressors is discrimination. Dolphins ram the belly of a shark to knock it out and results in death of the shark in most cases. The shark son has a hidden predatory issue!
i really enjoyed all 3 of the “trash era movies” as a kid....i mean REALLY enjoyed. i became super interested in bees and beekeeping after seeing the bee movie, i LOVED the over the hedge score and i found shark tale really fun. i would put the fond memories i have of these films down to nostalgia or just being a dumb kid at the time but ive rewatched both over the hedge and the bee movie in the last couple years and i gotta say....i think theyre still really fun, though not without their faults they have special places in my heart. not sure about shark tale though. i havent seen it since i was about 7 and the animation looks cursed
Although Shark Tale is trash for having sexist stereotypes, uninspired animation and a mean-spirited execution of the scenes, a couple of the (highly) redeemable aspects of it (although it only elevates it to a joke of animation to half-trash) had to be the shrimp (design-wise, voice-wise AND backstory-wise) and the old-school bops like Got to Be Real, Good Foot, Car Wash, Lies & Rumors and more.
If you like Big Joel, you might enjoy Jack Saint, another leftie media critique youtuber who often uses seemingly innocuous pop culture stuff to jumpstart discussion of bunch of interesting stuff. He's more explicitly political than Big Joel though. Here's a good video talking about Race Allegories in stuff like Zootopia ua-cam.com/video/7oR6iET6FVo/v-deo.html
After watching this, I now would really like to see a film about intelligent carnivores, that cannot live on a herbivorous diet, but whose only source of food is also intelligent. The Carnivores are aware that their food is intelligent, and sometimes even form bonds with their prey. Just a film looking at the behaviour and relationships that would form in that sort of society.
That probably exists, but there's way too much 00's vampire shlock you'd have to shift through to find it. The closest I know of is the place in Buffy where people could get their blood sucked for cheap thrills, but good vamps mainly just got blood bags from the butcher shop.
just clicked but i really hope you discuss the strange, creepy sexualization of the female fish in this movie, because it has haunted me ever since i was a boy
This is why I’m glad my parents let me watch the stripshow scene in Great Mouse Detective. If I’m gonna’ have a conflicted sexual identity, at least it’s one that has a good grasp on animation design fundamentals.
@@samwallaceart288 I have said it before and I'll say it again, the Walt Disney company is single-handedly responsible for the creation of more furries than any other person or group. Not one myself, but growing up getting some very strange feelings from anthropomorized female animals, I do understand it.
@@scaper8 Not just flurries, a truly disturbing amount of fetishes have spawned from the Disney brand. Not that I'm... speaking... from experience... or something...
Sharktale, Over the Headge, and Bee Movie... I actually liked those movies. The writing is strange. I just realized, but for some reason I enjoyed them as a kid.
They were all original, ya gotta admit. The standards for animated movies were set by Disney, that's why people were divided over these movies. I loved them tho lol
I mean, you're someone who can have "cabbage scented candle" as their user name and not vomit in their mouth every time they have to conceive of such a thing, so this comment checks out.
No matter how often, how eloquently, and how factually people explain to me that "Sharktales" "Over the Hedge" "Flushed Away" "Madagascar" "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "Bee Movie" are objectively bad movies.... I seriously cannot stop liking them. Dreamworks is oddly amazing at creating good, bad movies. They definitely have just straight up bad movies, but the same goes for the good ones. They actually have several of my most favorite movies growing up that I still adore today. "Kung Fu Panda 1-2" "Shrek 1-2" (meme or not they're good movies) "The Prince of Egypt" and "Joseph King of Dreams" (I'm not religious, they're good stories) "Chicken Run" "Sinbad" "Megamind" "Spirit" "How to Train your Dragon 1-2" (I haven't seen the 3rd yet, but I def plan to) Dreamworks was created just to spite Pixar, and honestly? I like their movies more.
Kifi Roserette I had "Dreamworks movies" open in google when I was listing them, to be sure I was talking about the right ones. I checked the wiki on those two movies, and both Aardman studios and Dreamworks are listed. With Dreamworks being a distributor for Chicken Run.
I get it, looking back I can see why all these movies are bad in some ways but I still love them, especially Over the Hedge and Monsters vs Aliens. I don’t really even care as they make me happy and made my six year old self into the movie lover I am today.
Everyone seems to talk about shrek, bee movie, boss baby, how to train your dragon, prince of Egypt, megamind, Madagascar, shark tale…. But I would love an analysis on flushed away. People, that’s a under under underrated piece of film. I need a analysis on it ASAP
When dreamworks does there own thing, they make good art, but whenever they try to piggyback on Pixar’s ideas so they can reap some of Pixar’s money they don’t make good art. How to train your dragon, rise of the guardians, Kung fu panda, and Madagascar to me at least was good art.
It's weird that when you are a kid, obviously you more than likely enjoy and love anything animated thrown at your face. It was the case for me at least. But even as a kid, no matter how entertained you were during a movie, there was something that made you rank them. That you knew some movies were "better" than others. Even a child can feel basically any Disney sequel to be worse than the original ones, and when it came to DreamWorks we all knew in our kiddy brains that Shark Tale, Over the Hedge etc. were not as "good" as Shrek or Road to ElDorado or the Prince of Egypt. Not saying the movies cannot be enjoyable, because I for sure liked to watch Shark Tale if someone suggested it, but there is that somewhat "trashy" feeling about some movies even a child cannot deny. True story.
iRinnda: That‘s why I disagree that kids love „anything animated thrown at their faces“. Even kids have a taste. I never watched Shark Tale, Over the Hedge or Flushed Away because these movies already seemed stupid and like cheap rip-offs in the trailers. I watched Bee Movie and thought it was really terrible because the „message“ in it was really questionable to me. I never even heard of the Road to El Dorado movie you mentioned and I don‘t even know what it is. I didn‘t watch Prince of Egypt because it is religious propaganda. But yes, Shrek was funny. To be fair I wasn‘t really a chils when these movies came out but a preteen/teen. I think I was about 16 when „Finding Nemo“ came out which was a good movie.
A+ for the bit about the Disney sequels. Even as an elementary school kid I knew that shit was as good as mustard on watermelon and boiled artichokes. Especially the Cinderella sequels, number three being the absolute most offensive. Honorable mention: Pocahontas 2 - trash. The only good sequel from Disney was Lion King 1.5.
Denise Nova Lol that’s not the message of the movie and Big Joel doesn’t think like that either. Barry still lives with humans and fights for civil rights of other animals. Bees aren’t being exploited anymore, they sell their honey instead of it being forcefully taken away. Revolution was a good thing, only honey being exclusively for bees was seen as bad.
Shark Tale might be one of the most important movies I saw as a child, because it was literally the first time as a kid that I came out of the movie theater and thought, umprompted, "Wow, that was a really bad movie."
I often wondered how the hell did Dreamworks went from making "The Prince of Egypt", "The Road to El Dorado", and "Sinbad" to.....these kinds of movies???
alicia nong iirc neither el dorado nor sinbad did well at the box office. Shrek, however, was a smash hit. Dreamworks is, at the end of the day, a business with the goal of making as much money as possible.
So let me get this straight. Your wondering how dreamworks went from making good movies to MASTAPEECES LIKE SHARK TALES BABY WHEN WE GETTING A SEQUEL BOYS
I think you've misread the end of Oscar's arc. His problem wasn't just an inability to accept his place in life, it was society that caused that inability. He was the lowest of the social hierarchy so even if he accepted his own job, society still told him he was garbage.
That doesn't make much sense as a reading. Nothing about society, at least with regard to this issue, meaningfully changes from the beginning of the movie to the end. And yet the ending is a happy one regardless. The main characters in the present day who pose Oscar's position as garbage are Lola and Sykes. How do either of these characters really change? I don't think they do. No, the happy ending comes from Oscar learning self acceptance, not from dealing with any societal ill.
I haven't watched it in years but yeah, I liked it as a kid. And seeing as how I don't think badly of it (which I do for movies like Flushed Away) I'm sure if I watched it again I would still like it.
I’m not from an English speaking country so as a kid I had no idea that big celebrities had roles in shark tale so that never had an effect on me. But I LOVED shark tale, and maybe that is because I was obsessed with the ocean and underwater animals
Wow, Big Joel, bless your heart, making a very nearly 30-minute UA-cam video analyzing the film "Shark Tale"... That's VERY clearly 20 times more effort than Dreamworks put into their full-length animated movie.
Perhaps the way the film could have and should have gone would be “there are jobs that need to be done but are looked down upon and the people that do those jobs are treated as disposable nobodies with no worth” and from there one can definitely get a story about uplifting and liberating the status of workers. The film doesn’t do that, because they were fucking cowards.

The characters models in this movie bother me so much, because they're fish but they're also made to look like the actor who voiced them and it's just so jarring.
I like how in Shrek, there’s a certain quality to the characters where some of the vibe of the actor shines through even though no one part of it is identical. IDK, maybe just down to something as simple as face expression. The problem with Sharktale is that rather than being a “what if” incarnation of the actor’s stage presence, it’s instead a caricature of their physical appearance.
@@samwallaceart288 yeah true.
and it’s so ugly
@Praise the Sun this is a concern I have had ever since I first saw the movie which was years ago
they look ugly on the posters, but when I saw the movie itself, they looked nothing like their poster appearances.

You know an animated film that takes this same concept and does it not only better, but is itself a masterpiece?
Fantastic Mr. Fox.
omg you're so right...
my only two memories of this movie is the 70s soundtrack which i really enjoyed as a child and, more importantly, a joke that i barely understood on first viewing: theres a quick montage of everyday life in the fish city, and theres a brief moment inside a sushi store. its sudden silence among a lot of music and dialogue, so i paid attention. the fish in charge of the sushi shop is frustrated and throws the knife on the wooden sushi preparing table. so i guess i basically assumed then than cannibalism was just a reality in this grotesque colorful fish world... or maybe not, since the joke was that nobody went to the sushi shop. but there was a fish, not a shark, selling sushi. is cannibalism allowed here, between fishes, but not socially acceptable unless youre a shark? does the sushi selling fish eat fish? was the sushi place catered to sharks but theyre just not big on japanese food? these are the questions that shall go unanswered
God, i'm glad i wasn't the only perplexed by this.
This is on par with the line about about The Alamo from Bright as far as throwaway jokes that keep me awake at night go.
Shit i remember that scene. Never understood it. Now Im laughing
Good point about that sushi shop moment. I did immediately found that a bit funny on the first viewing when I was younger, but now revisiting this movie and scene kind of just left you feel a bit perplexed .
Lazy story writing.
It's the old "Predators are evil because they eat meat" issue which always runs into problems when you have anthropomorphized animal characters lol
Imagine if this film was about humans, where the rich upper class-men murdered and ate the poor- and this was such as natural element of the world that it isn't even tackled in the plot and instead the plot focused on getting the cannibal mafia to accept his non-cannibal son, it'd suddenly be so, so dark.

Tobias Reilly I would have preferred this

The guy next to him in 2004 but Disney Pixar is going to release this fish kid film so we need to get on that trend.
This guy ok um what if the mob where sharks and intend of a car wash it was a whale wash.
Listen, in a way shark tale was ahead of its time. Imagine if shark tale was made in the gay rights/social media/Instagram flexing era. Oscar is what many “influencers” are. A fraud broadly advertising a lifestyle most can’t have and that they don’t truly have. I think the intertwining of hip hop culture made the film quickly dated and that makes us feel less relatable. I do believe with a little more time and care this film could have become a classic, but I’m pretty sure the studio was just rushing to put out films they thought would sell tickets
Claystead yes but keep in mind it did come out 10 years before ss marriage was legal. Also being gay was treated more as a joke than than taken seriously. I think had Shark Tale come out later with more time put into and writers who really loved the characters, the story would have been written with care while still being funny.
It'd still need the story reworked to actually deal with the themes though.
But the fact that Jablinski Games character (Lenny) is vegetarian is actually a stereotypical metaphor of homosexuality, so it kinda gay rights in the movie
Idk man the movie shows lenny's vegiteranism as a lifestyle choice which isn't very Coolio of you ask me
@@lucasmartinssaraiva1162 sooo.... shark tale said gay rights?
suggestion: instead of a sharktale script doctor choosing either to focus on a critique of social hierarchy OR a learn-to-accept-your-situation story, Oscar changes society so that this very necessary job of whale-washing gets the respect it deserves.
That... Actually seems like a good idea to base a movie on.

He says that line as the perspective he had as a child watching Shark Tale. If he was a kid watching trash era Dreamworks movies when they were released, that means he possibly could not have even seen The Prince of Egypt yet at the time, because it's a more obscure traditionally animated film than the Disney ones and that one would have been released when he was an infant. Also, I felt the same way when I saw Shark Tale in the theatres as a kid.
I've never once questioned why the fish have eyebrows until now.
There is no love triangle in Shrek. Lord Farquaad is not in love with Fiona. He's in love with himself.
Narcissism at its finest!
There is the facade of a love triangle though. Fiona does, at least on some level, think Farquad is who she's supposed to marry.
Corekt, she thinks, it's her faith to marry the prince. Farquad thinks, it's his faith to become a king. And Shrek thinks, it's his faith to be the monster. So it's more like a faith triangle. I guess the point is: F**k faith.
Call me crazy but my first thought was a love triangle between Donkey, Fiona and Shrek, then I suddenly remembered that Farrquad existed
He's in love with the IDEA of Fiona, or at least the idea of HAVING Fiona.

@@viano9541 You never can know
I think it's tricky to place the movie's social class-message, because it is clearly making allusions to the natural food chain, and at the same time social social conduct. From a biological/ecological point of view, sharks are just doing their thing by eating the fish: what's more, the ocean needs them to be predators, so it's not evil from them to eat shrimp, fish and such. But from a social point of view, sharks are being more like predatory upper-class mafia, who take advantage of others, when there are other ways for them to survive without abusing their power. I get what they're trying to say, but ultimately, the movie forgets that sharks are sharks, and the whole moral at the ending is confusing when you think of it.
they should've just said that when sharks die they become algae, that the other fish then eat
As Schaffrillas points out, the title of the movie is an anagram for Shrak.

Over the Hedge is a good movie for the slow-motion scene alone. Simply iconic
An unnamed source has informed me that the scene originally contained the song "Time in a Bottle"
Gavin Felan so that scene of xmen apocalypse with quicksilver running around was a homage to over the hedge, then?
I love Over The Hedge
Casi R. actually yeah
Over the Hedge did the Quicksilver scene first.
I think Shark Tales is a hilarious movie. IDK know if it has a good moral. I think it's just a mad cap dark comedy . Jack Black as a gay shark who wants to be a dolphin, Deniro as a goodfella shark, The Fresh Prince fish and the scene with the shrimp begging for his life is so funny. It's like a Loony Tunes it's absurdist.
How the fuck did I not realise Jack Black was in this movie, wtf
I agree! It's a rly movie. UA-camrs nowadays will criticize anything just 'cause they can record any shit and post for views.

i really enjoyed all 3 of the “trash era movies” as a kid....i mean REALLY enjoyed. i became super interested in bees and beekeeping after seeing the bee movie, i LOVED the over the hedge score and i found shark tale really fun. i would put the fond memories i have of these films down to nostalgia or just being a dumb kid at the time but ive rewatched both over the hedge and the bee movie in the last couple years and i gotta say....i think theyre still really fun, though not without their faults they have special places in my heart. not sure about shark tale though. i havent seen it since i was about 7 and the animation looks cursed
While not "objectively good," they're still fun.
This here is a top quality dissection of trash. I would know.
*ENDLESS TRASH*
Although Shark Tale is trash for having sexist stereotypes, uninspired animation and a mean-spirited execution of the scenes, a couple of the (highly) redeemable aspects of it (although it only elevates it to a joke of animation to half-trash) had to be the shrimp (design-wise, voice-wise AND backstory-wise) and the old-school bops like Got to Be Real, Good Foot, Car Wash, Lies & Rumors and more.

After watching this, I now would really like to see a film about intelligent carnivores, that cannot live on a herbivorous diet, but whose only source of food is also intelligent. The Carnivores are aware that their food is intelligent, and sometimes even form bonds with their prey. Just a film looking at the behaviour and relationships that would form in that sort of society.

That probably exists, but there's way too much 00's vampire shlock you'd have to shift through to find it. The closest I know of is the place in Buffy where people could get their blood sucked for cheap thrills, but good vamps mainly just got blood bags from the butcher shop.

No matter how often, how eloquently, and how factually people explain to me that "Sharktales" "Over the Hedge" "Flushed Away" "Madagascar" "Monsters vs. Aliens" and "Bee Movie" are objectively bad movies.... I seriously cannot stop liking them. Dreamworks is oddly amazing at creating good, bad movies. They definitely have just straight up bad movies, but the same goes for the good ones. They actually have several of my most favorite movies growing up that I still adore today. "Kung Fu Panda 1-2" "Shrek 1-2" (meme or not they're good movies) "The Prince of Egypt" and "Joseph King of Dreams" (I'm not religious, they're good stories) "Chicken Run" "Sinbad" "Megamind" "Spirit" "How to Train your Dragon 1-2" (I haven't seen the 3rd yet, but I def plan to)
Dreamworks was created just to spite Pixar, and honestly? I like their movies more.
El Dorado?
That one is pretty good as well, I didn't grow up with it so I forgot to add it.
I thought Flushed Away and Chicken Run were made by Aardman studios?
Kifi Roserette I had "Dreamworks movies" open in google when I was listing them, to be sure I was talking about the right ones. I checked the wiki on those two movies, and both Aardman studios and Dreamworks are listed. With Dreamworks being a distributor for Chicken Run.
I get it, looking back I can see why all these movies are bad in some ways but I still love them, especially Over the Hedge and Monsters vs Aliens. I don’t really even care as they make me happy and made my six year old self into the movie lover I am today.
I will never forget the "smoking seaweed" and o. J. Simpson reference. Lmao.. definitely didn't catch that as a kid.
Everyone seems to talk about shrek, bee movie, boss baby, how to train your dragon, prince of Egypt, megamind, Madagascar, shark tale….
But I would love an analysis on flushed away.
People, that’s a under under underrated piece of film. I need a analysis on it ASAP
When dreamworks does there own thing, they make good art, but whenever they try to piggyback on Pixar’s ideas so they can reap some of Pixar’s money they don’t make good art. How to train your dragon, rise of the guardians, Kung fu panda, and Madagascar to me at least was good art.

It's weird that when you are a kid, obviously you more than likely enjoy and love anything animated thrown at your face. It was the case for me at least. But even as a kid, no matter how entertained you were during a movie, there was something that made you rank them. That you knew some movies were "better" than others. Even a child can feel basically any Disney sequel to be worse than the original ones, and when it came to DreamWorks we all knew in our kiddy brains that Shark Tale, Over the Hedge etc. were not as "good" as Shrek or Road to ElDorado or the Prince of Egypt.
Not saying the movies cannot be enjoyable, because I for sure liked to watch Shark Tale if someone suggested it, but there is that somewhat "trashy" feeling about some movies even a child cannot deny. True story.
iRinnda: That‘s why I disagree that kids love „anything animated thrown at their faces“. Even kids have a taste. I never watched Shark Tale, Over the Hedge or Flushed Away because these movies already seemed stupid and like cheap rip-offs in the trailers. I watched Bee Movie and thought it was really terrible because the „message“ in it was really questionable to me. I never even heard of the Road to El Dorado movie you mentioned and I don‘t even know what it is. I didn‘t watch Prince of Egypt because it is religious propaganda. But yes, Shrek was funny. To be fair I wasn‘t really a chils when these movies came out but a preteen/teen. I think I was about 16 when „Finding Nemo“ came out which was a good movie.
A+ for the bit about the Disney sequels. Even as an elementary school kid I knew that shit was as good as mustard on watermelon and boiled artichokes. Especially the Cinderella sequels, number three being the absolute most offensive. Honorable mention: Pocahontas 2 - trash. The only good sequel from Disney was Lion King 1.5.

"lenny from shark tales is gay-coded" is the wildest hot take I've seen all year
I think you've misread the end of Oscar's arc. His problem wasn't just an inability to accept his place in life, it was society that caused that inability. He was the lowest of the social hierarchy so even if he accepted his own job, society still told him he was garbage.
That doesn't make much sense as a reading. Nothing about society, at least with regard to this issue, meaningfully changes from the beginning of the movie to the end. And yet the ending is a happy one regardless. The main characters in the present day who pose Oscar's position as garbage are Lola and Sykes. How do either of these characters really change? I don't think they do. No, the happy ending comes from Oscar learning self acceptance, not from dealing with any societal ill.

I haven't watched it in years but yeah, I liked it as a kid. And seeing as how I don't think badly of it (which I do for movies like Flushed Away) I'm sure if I watched it again I would still like it.
Thanks Kevin!
Fun re-watching this after Oscar slapped Marty the zebra at the Oscars.
You look like Francis the ladybug from A Bug's Life
Resurrect The Night shoo fly, don’t bother me
Resurrect The Night I'm crying lmfao

I actually really liked this movie as a kid. It still is kindof funny to me.
I loved the movie as well, taught me to accept people even if they are different.
i think nostalgia is talking rn
Why do people hate these movies now? 😂

OMG same. I can't see anything wrong with it.
Does anyone remember the DreamWorks movie Spirit: Stallion of the Cimmarron?
I’m not from an English speaking country so as a kid I had no idea that big celebrities had roles in shark tale so that never had an effect on me. But I LOVED shark tale, and maybe that is because I was obsessed with the ocean and underwater animals
The big names aren't for the kids benefit, it's for the parents and for media attraction
I'm honestly a bee movie fan. The movie is just so ridiculous that's it's just fun to see what happens next.
It would honestly bee pretty good if it was like an hour shorter.
was the spelling intentional?
@@chocobear4078 lmao
Same, i used to love both the bee movie and shark tale for these reasons. 😂
Shark tale=trash... ok
Bee movie=trash...debatable
Over the hedge=trash... slow your roll cowboy

I keep reading shark as shrek
Adihsam more like... Shrek... Fail.
_somebody once told me..._
_the chat's about to kill me_ ;(
The best dreamworks movie is kung fu panda or shrek 2
Agreed
Wow, Big Joel, bless your heart, making a very nearly 30-minute UA-cam video analyzing the film "Shark Tale"... That's VERY clearly 20 times more effort than Dreamworks put into their full-length animated movie.
Perhaps the way the film could have and should have gone would be “there are jobs that need to be done but are looked down upon and the people that do those jobs are treated as disposable nobodies with no worth” and from there one can definitely get a story about uplifting and liberating the status of workers. The film doesn’t do that, because they were fucking cowards.
