What is the point of the vegetarian sharks?


Can't give this film a 10 because of those dumb sharks.

Comedy relief. Just like the 'Mine mine mine' seagulls.

So this way they dont eat the main characters.

I think it's just simply to add to the underwater atmosphere (no pun intended) like, what's a fish movie without sharks?

It's this thing...its revolutionary.


They call it, what's the term?

Oh, right. A JOKE.

As someone said, it just expands the underwater world.

And the sharks were 1 of Marlin's challenges. Bruce going into a frenzy and trying to eat them. That's the 1st real danger he got passed. Then the underwater mines. Then the Angler Fish. Then the Jellyfish.

And they had the scene with their vegetarianism possibly to be unique. Instead of have all the predatory fish be mindless eaters, like the Barracuda and Angler, they wanted to show some in a better light - struggling with their predatory instincts and not really wanting to harm fish.

It's also spoofing Alcoholics Anonymous, like when the sharks give their names and speak sbout their habits, holding up their fins to say the mantra "Fish are friends, not food." When Marlin says he doesn't have a problem, the sharks all say "denial." When Bruce smells Dory's blood, the other sharks stage what they call an intervention, temporarily holding him back. When he's pursuing Marlin and Dory they call to him about remembering his "steps."

What you couldn't give a 10 just because of this? The scenes with Bruce and the Sharks were truly the BEST thing about the movie!!!

Change your tampon kid. Do you watch superhero movies? You'll probably complain about them not being real also, dumbass.

Don't get hurt kid. I'm not your daddy, I'll beat you senseless.

It gave Shark Tale something to steal from this film.
