There is nothing enchanted about this film. It is boring, the CGI is crude, and the plot is also cliched. If you find this movie, I'd suggest you bury the movie so no unfortunate person would come up and waste time watching this bad movie.

Wow, this movie sucks. This is literally some of the worst animation and voice acting I have ever seen.

This is one of the worst and most forgettable rip-offs of both Finding Nemo and The Karate Kid. The animation is vomit inducing and leaves a nauseous feeling in my stomach. The plot is a near mimic of the Karate Kid and the characters are forgettable and uninteresting. All in all this is an ugly and unnecessary piece of garbage.

You're going to take a little trip...through my digestive system. A young fish in the open ocean sees his parents caught in a fishing net and dragged away. They tell him to go to the reef and find his grandmother. When he arrives at the reef, his grandmother tells him he is destined to do great things. Meanwhile, he comes across the popular girl in town and falls in love; unfortunately, a shark and his friends terrorize the town and want the girl. The young fish will need to save the town from the shark to win the heart of the girl. "You questioning my credibility?" Three directors collaborate to deliver the Reef (Shark Bait). The storyline for this picture is a bit cliché but very well done and fun to watch unfold. The animation isn't outstanding, but still very good and current. The voices fit the characters well and the film is fairly entertaining. "There are some weird fish in the sea." I recently came across these on Netflix and decided to add them to the queue to watch with my daughter. We watched this together the other night and we both found it fun and worthwhile. This isn't a masterpiece that belongs in your DVD collection, but it is worth a viewing. "Such big heads. Such tiny brains." Grade: C+

This movie is NOT a "clone of Fnding Nemo". The story is no where near similar to "Finding Nemo". It's idiotic entries like this which push me away from this "review site". This show is a classic 1950s style story of a Biker Gang leader, a Girl who likes the quiet guy and a Quiet Guy who has to fight for the girl's honor. No where near Finding Nemo.

It was called Shark Bait in some territories, but The Reef is a much better title for this colourful and family friendly animated ocean tale
