Spoofs
I think that the spoofings should be listed here as well, rather than just the movies spoofed. It doesn't help a whole lot to just see the movies that were spoofed, people would like to see the way in which they were spoofed. Scorpionman 03:09, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

Crazy Joe
Crazy Joe is aparently a lobster, not a crab, becuse only lobsters live in sea-shells, as did Crazy Joe. Also, crabs are wide and only walk sideways, yet Joe is "long" and walks frontwards [like a lobster], even though it's rare we see him wlk. Case closed until someone argues with me. --Wack'd About Wiki 12:51, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Crazy Joe is an anthropomorphic hermit crab. He's described as such in the "Shark Tale: The Essential Guide" book, which must be reasonably canonical. --GreenMoray 14:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hermit crab, silly! Not lobster. 211.72.108.19 02:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Fantasy?
Why is this in the Fantasy movie catagory? Zephyrprince (talk) 19:24, August 3, 2005


 * Because it's a fantasy movie. Nightscream (talk) 17:44, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

What kind of fish is Oscar???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.240.97.232 (talk) 03:17, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Oscar is a bluestreak cleaner wrasse. Christianster45 16:30, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Plot Section
Someone should add a plot section for this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.33.174.133 (talk) 13:28, 29 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually there was one here a few(?) months ago, but it was vandalized and never restored. Seeing no discussion to support that edit, I'd like to put it back. Statarius (talk) 06:31, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

The tailor and the giants
There is some similarity here with the story of the tailor who "killed" a number of giants, and grew to fame on that account ("seven with one stroke" and so on). Does anyone know of a connection? 94.220.243.230 (talk) 19:40, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Shark chasing from sunken ship similarities to two other underwater other films
Don Lino (the main shark character in Shark Tale a CGI movie) gets stuck in a porthole of a sunken ship while chasing Oscar is similar to Bruce the Shark chasing Marlin and Dory in Disney & Pixar's Finding Nemo (another CGI movie) and Glut the Shark chasing after both Ariel and her pet fish/friend Flounder in Disney's The Little Mermaid (a 2D animated movie). all of which were underwater film as well.

 * How would this apply to improving the article, in your opinion? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 17:41, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Validity of the AfL
First of all I apologize for edit warring, I really want gays to have equal rights I dont really see how AfL's opnion could even work as they are classified as a hate group by the Southern Law center. I strongly believe that their unpopular opinion should be removed, it is like having the KKK's or Isis's opinion on a matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Darkninja505 (talk • contribs)


 * For background, the above user is referring to these edits, in which they repeatedly removed criticism of the series from a group called the American Family Association. The user, from what I gather, feels that since they are classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, their opinions are not valid and should not be included in this article. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:26, 20 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I think there is a sub-topic here that could be better covered. First, I would not put the AFA's statement in the "Critical reception" section. Secondly, there appears to be coverage from reliable sources about homosexuality in Shark Tale as seen here. For example, this is an independent party reporting the AFA's concerns. Since there is coverage about this debate in the sources, per WP:NPOV, this viewpoint is prevalent enough to include what has been said about it. This does not mean Wikipedia will advocate either way; it describes disputes, and it should do that here by referencing the appropriate sources and attribute them per WP:ATTRIBUTEPOV. The commentary should also be folded per WP:STRUCTURE. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 21:49, 20 February 2015 (UTC)


 * I very much agree that "Critical reception" section is not the best place for this. The complaints about Italian American stereotyping were made before the film was released, which again makes them a poor fit for the Critical response section. My question then is where to put it? My first thought would be to put it in a separate section, perhaps labelled Controversy but maybe that isn't an ideal section heading, maybe a much more generic "Other response" would do but really anything to separate it from the professional film critics seems like it would be an improvement. -- 109.77.205.163 (talk) 15:39, 18 April 2020 (UTC)


 * It could be a "Social commentary" section, like I did at Edge of Tomorrow. I don't support "Controversy" because it comes off as vague and inflated, especially for films that are not retrospectively called controversial. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 15:48, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the suggestion. Can't please everyone so I'll just go with your suggestion and if the guidelines ever come up with a consensus for a better approach we can always change it later. -- 109.77.205.163 (talk) 16:17, 18 April 2020 (UTC)

Production of Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo started physical production in January 2000 about three years after pre-production began on that film so it wasn't in production at the same time as Shark Tale. --71.212.110.117 (talk) 22:53, 24 March 2017 (UTC)Evan Kalani Opedal

Not sequel
I understand the removal of awkward section about the non-existent sequel that wasn't going to happen, but I feel like this information might be salvaged in some way because the source says a few different things about why there was no sequel. It might be worth mentioning in the Production section why Dreamworks ever thought this film was a good idea in the first place and how they later concluded they weren't going to try and bleed more money from it by making any kind of a sequel. The source said that this type of parody film doesn't travel/earn well internationally, that detail might be worth noting in the Box office section.

Maybe the source can be repurposed. -- 109.79.167.172 (talk) 01:12, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
