Shark Bait (The Reef: Shark Bait in the UK, Australia and North
America, Pi's Story in South Korea) is a 2006 South
Korean-Canadian-American computer animated film. The plot revolves
around Pi and his attempt to win the heart of Cordelia while dealing
with a tiger shark that is terrorizing him and the reef's inhabitants.
The film was a critical and commercial failure. It was largely
criticised for borrowing heavily from other films such as
Disney/Pixar's Finding Nemo, DreamWorks' Shark Tale, and Walt Disney's
The Little Mermaid (and at one point, a reference to Star Wars and The
Karate Kid), and despite the well known actors and comedians involved
in the voiceover work, was a box-office bomb. Despite being an
American-South Korean co-production, the movie did not receive a
theatrical release in the United States, where it was released direct
to DVD in 2007.A direct-to-DVD sequel, The Reef 2: High Tide was
released in 2012.Pisces, or Pi (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), is a 5-year-old
orange fish that lives happily with his parents Pike and Piper in the
polluted harbor of Boston, Massachusetts, until a fishing boat scoops
them from the sea. Pi's parents manage to help him escape, but cannot
escape themselves. Before they are taken away, Piper tells Pi to
promise her he would go live with his aunt. Pi's porpoise friends
Percy (Trent Ford) and Percy's mother Meg (Megahn Perry) agree to take
him, but Pi refuses to leave in case his parents return, Meg sadly
tells him that once anyone is taken by a net they can never come back;
Pi is heartbroken that his parents are gone forever.Meg and Percy take
Pi to live with his aunt Pearl on an exotic reef. When Pi reaches the
reef, he is 18 years old and has stayed with the porpoises for most of
his life. The first residents Pi comes across are three elderly marlin
named Moe, Jack, and Manny, which direct him towards Pearl's home. On
his way there, Pi immediately falls in love with Cordelia (Evan Rachel
Wood), a celebrity fish that has appeared on the front cover of
National Geographic. He also meets his cousin Dylan (Andy Dick), that
quickly becomes Pi's best friend.
