Shark Tale was a massive commercial hit, grossing over $367 million worldwide against a $75 million budget. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature (losing to The Incredibles ).
Oscar, seizing the moment, claims he single-handedly defeated the shark. The reef erupts in celebration, dubbing him the "Sharkslayer."
