Sandor 459 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Saw Shark Tale recently. I never knew the opening is funny centered around the Jaws-theme! I went like: "WTF?! Why didn't I know that?!"Has it ever been discussed on this board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Somewhat, but given the fact the movie was awful and Zimmer scored it, all was quickly forgotten. I think most of the talk centered around the use of Williams' theme by a rapper for a song in the film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I just did what everyone in the world did and rented Finding Nemo instead..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodMusician 53 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 yea... I never saw it... it looked too odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Andrade 964 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 My older son discovered that the music that sharks listen has only two notes watching that film... but for most of the time, I rather be watching Finding Nemo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh500 1,602 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Yeah, never watched it, either. But now I might, if only just to listen to that Jaws Theme parody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 73 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 The Jaws theme is probably the most parodied theme of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 859 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Yeah "Finding Nemo" is much better, actually it's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 9 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Indeed. I'm a big fan of Dreamworks, but there's no comparison. Finding Nemo aims far higher and succeeds much more....successfuly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Not being the biggest hip-hop fan in the world, I found Shark Tale a particularly painful watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor 459 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Share Posted January 18, 2007 Guys, the discussion was never meant to be about Shark Tale vs. Finding Nemo. I mean, that's like comparing Eragon to The Lord Of The Rings. The opening of Shark Tale, especially when a shark says (refering to the Jaws Theme): "Hey, that's OUR theme song!" (or something), while humming it, is - for JW geeks - a funny moment. Then the opening credits qoute the Jaws Theme (and not just the two note motif). I thought it was the best part of the film.

And then we'd bash the movie anyway.We're just saving time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckM 1 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Personally, I thought that shark tale was a lot funnier than finding nemo, but to each his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,251 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Perhaps, but Finding Nemo was more then just funny, it works in a deeper way also.I honestly cared for Nemo, his father, Dori and the others.Shark Tale merely trew a lot of references to other films in my face.....
