You Don’t Have To Live At The Top Of The Reef To Be Somebody
Oscar is a fun loving, whale washing, dreamer who just wants to live life
at the top of the reef… to really be somebody. He finds himself there when he
tricks everyone into thinking he’s the Shark Slayer, but starts to realize that
living life as a big shot doesn’t mean he’s always off the hook with his real
friends and enemies. Watch this under water adventure with our whole family and
you’re sure to soak up boatloads of fun!
Movie Snacks
*To surprise Angie, Oscar brings Krispy Kelp doughnuts. Grab some doughnuts
for your family and be sure to have some bottled water with them, to prove how
great Oscars idea really was.
*If Lucky Day had won the seahorse race, Oscar would have won a million
clams. Serve up some Million Clam Chowder for dinner along with some Sea
Biscuits for the perfect race inspired meal.
*For a sweet treat be sure to grab some Gummi Sharks & Swedish Fish.
You could even make some blue Jell-o in clear tumblers before the movie, and
serve them during the show with some of the gummy treats on top.
*If you’re feeling extra creative you can follow this tutorial and make your own pearls, just like the
pink pearl Angie loans to Oscar.
Must Pause Moments
*The kids in Oscars part of the reef are always tagging stuff with
graffiti. Print off these coloring pages and see how artistic you can
be.
*When Lucky Day, the Sea Horse, trips in his race they play it in slow
motion. Pause the movie and let each person take a turn doing their best
reenactment of the slow motion trip and see how can make the silliest slow
motion faces.
*Oscar is the Reef’s new super hero. As the crowd chants for the Shark
Slayer, let each of your family members pick their own fishy hero name. Be sure
to test it out by chanting it loud and clear for all to hear.
Other Activities
*To really get into the movie, have your family dress like Oscar. He wears
his colorful hat, gold chain necklaces and sunglasses. This will be the perfect
attire for learning how to dance like Oscar (by using the special features) and
the other characters.
*Hold your own Sea horse races by having your family face around the yard,
track or even the pool. You could even have each of you come up with silly
racing names. If you’re not able to race yourself, then draw or print off some
pictures of sea horses. Line them up on the floor, table or counter and then use
drinking straws to blow them to the finish line.
*Oscar works at the Whale Wash. Follow his lead and give your car a good
scrub down with the whole family. Be sure to crank up the tunes by listening to
Bob Marley and the rest of the upbeat music from this great soundtrack. Have
some fun while you get the chores done… Shark Tale style!
