�Shark Tale� is a story of the underwater underworld, shaken up when the son of the shark mob boss (De Niro) is killed by an unlikely culprit -- a dropped anchor. Found at the scene is Oscar (Smith), a fast-talking small fish who�s been able to steer clear of trouble� until now! As a bottom feeder, Oscar realizes he stands to gain some points with the gang lord�s enemies by making himself appear to be the killer -- until too late he remembers that he inhabits a world in which big fish EAT small fish. Will Oscar be able to fin-agle his way out of his false claim and stay alive, or will he too sleep with the fishes (say what?)?
