In his latest movie review of Disney's Shark Tale, Christian conservative Ed Vitagliano warns parents of the treacherous homosexual depths of cartoondom. The way Vitagliano sees it, any cartoon shark that doesn't eat meat is clearly a HOMOSEXUAL.

It is when Shark Tale turns its attention to Lenny that it veers toward an undercurrent of approval for homosexuality. While it is difficult to prove intent when a film does not explicitly make a character "gay," the story and dialogue demonstrate an implicit approval of homosexuality.

The movie is, as Peter Debruge of Premiere magazine said in a review, "a weak allegory about a macho dad learning to accept his gay son."
