Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Wolf proposes the gang to pretend to be good, Mr. Shark tells the story about a brother who had an anchor falling on his head. This refers to the previous DreamWorks Animation film Shark Tale (2004), which had two shark brothers: Frankie who died from an anchor dropping on him, and his brother Lenny, a good guy, who briefly pretends to be bad.
- GoofsDiane Foxington wears a piercing in her left eyebrow. Later in the movie she talks about her past, when she tried to steal the dolphin statue; when she was holding it, her body was mirrored in the security glass. In the close shot of her mirrored face, the piercing is on the right eyebrow instead of the left one.
- Crazy creditsThe DreamWorks logo has Mr Wolf climb to the moon with his grapple gun and take the fisher boy's place.

Featured review
This one, as another reviewer has already said , has wonderfully written characters (obviously - written and performed). It's not original - I couldn't care less - once again: originality as is, is overrated in my personal book. So despite obvious similarities with Zootopia I still enjoyed it wholeheartedly. Some of the plot twists can be spotted miles ahead - it doesn't matter. Once we got to know and like these lovely characters we just want to see the story through and know how it all ended for them. Only problem is - most of the climax of the movie doesn't really make sense. Or to put it simply, think it out carefully and you'll realize - it couldn't happen the way the movie explains it. I'd give it 10 stars if it was making sense. And then again - it's not as important as it could be in other movies.
Must add some words regarding the cast. They're all wonderful but I can't avoid special mention for Sam Rockwell, it's not the first time I see him but I can promise from now on - I'll make it my business to notice him; Marc Maron is also superb as snake; Zazie Beetz is always unforgettable, and she does it again, and the exact same thing can be said of Awkwafina.
To some it all up - if you don't have a special agenda against fun movies - you'll love this one.
