From the studio that brought you the Academy Award®-winning Shrek comes the $300 million worldwide smash hit Shark Tale, released on DVD 11th February 2005 from DreamWorks Home Entertainment.

Buoyed by the most incredible cast ever assembled for an animated movie and an unique hip-hop soundtrack, Shark Tale opened atop the U.K and Ireland box-office charts "reeling in" more than £7.5 million - placing the fish story's opening weekend second only to the record-shattering Shrek 2 in DreamWorks' record books and making it one of the year's top 10 best debut weekends. Shark Tale swam on to retain the top spot of the charts for three weeks running and has taken a fantastic £22,800,000 to date.

Baiting fans with even more movie hailed as "top-class entertainment" (Johnny Vaughan, The Sun), DreamWorks Animation created "Club Oscar," an all-new surprise ending available exclusively for the home viewing audience. Like the hugely popular brand new DVD segments featured on Shrek and Shrek 2, "Club Oscar" brings back the original voice talent and all the favourite Shark Tale characters "gettin' fishy with it" in an uproarious never-before-seen dance party segment.

Featured the DVD, Club Oscar also invites viewers to take a "spin with the fishes" through a special interactive component in which Nadine "Hi-Hat" Colquhon, famed choreographer to the stars including Shark Tale's Missy Elliot, provides step-by-step dance instructions. The Shark Tale DVD is loaded with fun-filled bonus programs featuring music, games and something for every fish in the sea.

Shark Tale features the most star-studded cast ever assembled for an animated film including Will Smith (Oscar), two-time Academy Award®-winner Robert De Niro (Don Lino), Academy Award®-winner Renee Zellweger (Angie), Academy Award®-winner Angelina Jolie (Lola), Jack Black (Lenny), and multiple Academy Award®-nominee Martin Scorsese (Sykes).

Synopsis

Oscar (Will Smith), a lowly tongue-scrubber at the local Whale Wash, becomes an improbable hero when he tells a great white lie. To keep his secret, Oscar teams up with an outcast vegetarian shark, Lenny (Jack Black), and the two become the most unlikely of friends. When his lie begins to unravel, it's up to Oscar's loyal friend Angie (Renee Zellweger) and Lenny to help him stand up to the most feared shark in the water (Robert DeNiro) and find his true place in the reef.
