"Shark Bait" ("The Reef" in the UK, "Pi's Story" in South Korea) is a 2006 computer animated film. The plot revolves around Pi and his attempt to win the heart of Cordelia while dealing with a bullying shark. The film was heavily criticised for borrowing heavily from other films such as "Finding Nemo", "Shark Tale" and "The Little Mermaid" and, despite the amount of talented actors and comedians involved in the voice over work, did poorly at the box office. 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.

Plot

Pi (Freddie Prinze Jr.) is a little fish who, after losing everything, goes to live with his aunt (Fran Drescher) on an exotic reef. Before long, he's madly in love with a pretty girl fish (Evan Rachel Wood), but the local bully, a shark (Donal Logue), also likes her. So Pi decides to learn Kung-Fu so that he can take on the shark, defeat Red Claw, Screech and Thud and win the girl and the food, even though the shark is many times bigger than him.
