Movie
Shark Tale
This 2004 animated film is set underwater where a fish named Oscar is finding ways to get rich quick, which ends up putting his boss, Sykes in debt with Don Lino, a local shark boss. So Oscar has 24 hours to pay them $5000. His best friend and co worker Angie gives him a heirloom for him to pawn to get the money to pay them back. This backfires when he gambles it away to impress Lola, who only wants him for what he had. This angers Sykes, who had Oscar tied up to be eaten by sharks. One of which would be Frankie, the eldest son of Don Lino. However he is killed by an anchor before doing so as his younger brother, Lenny watches in horror. Oscar uses this to win the favor of everyone and becomes the 'sharkslayer." Don Lino, not happy with this, seeks revenge and looks for a missing Lenny, who discovers that Oscar is not who he says he is. Now they have a plan to make sure Oscar keeps up with the ruse, but that backfires too miserably. The film itself was not well received due to the humor, design and how the characters look like their voice actors. But the soundtrack is nice through.

The Cat in the Hat (2003)
In this adaptation of the classic book by Dr. Seuss, we have the main character, the Cat in the Hat visiting the two children in their home while their mother is away. However in the next half hour or so, things go from bad to worse, unlike the book. The boy, renamed Conrad in this, causes trouble and rude to his mother, Joan. While the girl, renamed Sally here, is more of a control freak. So Joan is planning a party for her boss but has to go back to work, and expects the children, well just Conrad, to behave while she is gone. Later the Cat comes by to make their day fun. But instead his antics are much more crude and thus one of the reasons why the film was not well liked, especially the author's widow.
