The “Baby Shark” song originated as a traditional campfire song that gained popularity in the early 20th century. The specific origins of the tune are unclear, but it has been adapted and passed down through generations. The song gained widespread recognition and took on a new life in the digital age when it became the subject of a series of animated videos produced by the South Korean company Pinkfong. The Pinkfong version, released in 2015, featured colorful animation and simple dance moves, turning the song into a viral sensation and a global hit for young children and their families.

Baby Shark’s Big Movie Review

Baby Shark is forced to leave the world he loves behind after his family’s move to the big city and must adjust to his new life without his best friend, William. When Baby Shark encounters an evil pop starfish named Stariana, who plans to steal his gift of song in order to dominate all underwater music, he must break her spell to restore harmony to the seas.

PARENTAL NOTES

Bait and Switch

• There’s a scene in which a pop star enters a building, and a fan dressed as a pirate asks for an autograph on his chest, but it’s a treasure chest.

WOKE REPORT

Dads Can’t Be Serious

• The dad is a bit of a joke, whereas the mother is more or less together.

Feminization of Boys

• The main character (Baby Shark) and his best friend, William, wear matching effeminate-looking friendship charm bracelets, are super excited (made giggly) by pop stars and boy bands, and are weepy and emotional about their friendship. Basically, they are little girls.
  • This is the primary reason that I’ve marked it as woke.
