Summary
Oscar is a fast-talking little fish whose big dreams have a habit of landing him in hot water. Lenny is a great white shark with a sensitive side...and a secret -- he’s a vegetarian. When a great white lie turns Oscar into an improbable hero and the truth about Lenny makes him an outcast, these two become the most unlikely of friends. “Shark Tale” stars the voices of Academy Award nominee Will Smith (“Ali”) as Oscar, a hustler who has always been able to fin-agle his way out of trouble, until now; two-time Academy Award winner Robert De Niro (“Raging Bull,” “The Godfather, Part II”) as Don Lino, a great white shark at the top of the Reef’s food chain; Academy Award winner Renée Zellweger (“Cold Mountain”) as Angie, the beautiful angelfish who harbors a secret crush on Oscar; Academy Award winner Angelina Jolie (“Girl, Interrupted”) as the femme fatale, Lola, a cross between a lion fish and a dragonfish, who uses her feminine wiles to get what she wants; Jack Black (“School of Rock”) as Don Lino’s son Lenny, a great white shark who is a closet vegetarian; and multiple Oscar-nominated director Martin Scorsese (“Gangs of New York,” “Goodfellas”) as Sykes, a puffer fish who is full of hot air and never misses an opportunity to make a few extra clams. Rounding out the main cast are: Doug E. Doug and Ziggy Marley as Bernie and Ernie, two Rastafarian jellyfish with a stinging sense of humor; Michael Imperioli (“The Sopranos”) as Don Lino’s oldest son, Frankie, a chip off the old shark; Vincent Pastore (“The Sopranos”) as Luca, an oily octopus, which makes him the perfect right-hand, left-hand, right-hand, left-hand man; veteran actor Peter Falk (“Columbo”) as Don Ira Feinberg, a shark who is long in the tooth, but still has plenty of bite left; and Katie Couric (TV’s “The Today Show”) as the Reef’s top anchorfish, Katie Current.
