Film: Shark Tale

That'll be a "don't bother", then.

You can tell it's half-term: a cartoon at the cinema, seats suddenly full (but I'm still the only person there alone), and all the adverts are for products I'd thought were stuck in the 70s (Barbie, Hubba-Bubba, etc).

[Shark Tale]

There are moments of genius in Shark Tale - I love the way the animators have let the actors' physical appearance influence the way they draw their characters, especially Missy 'Misdemeanor' Elliott. But on the whole it's a dud. Formulaic (does every Dreamworks Animation have to reference quite so many old films?), a limp script and dull.

(And now Liz can tell me how I'm just confusing the film with Wimbledon.)
