A funny and engaging animation that feels right at home with the other fairy tales it takes for inspiration. One of the biggest charms of Shrek is picking off and recognizing all the fair tale characters throughout the film, from the Three Little Pigs to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to Pinocchio. Their interaction with the created world seemed natural. They story took off on it's own, which, while simple, can be sweet in the end and the characters' charm really lifts things up. The humor here is probably Shrek's strongest part, there were many, many parts where you will laugh out loud. A lot of classic one-liners and classic scenes that will just stick to your mind because they are just that good. They songs included were catchy and complemented what was onscreen extremely well (i.e. they didn't feel awkward or forced). By the end of the film, you wished it was longer. The animation was good and music was solid.
