I assumed I'd like it

Rating: Null/10 (10 July 2004)

I had to take my kids to see Shrek2, and really assumed that I'd like it. I thought visually it was stunning, much better than Toy Story which rather tired my eyes. I felt the wicked fairy godmother wasn't wicked enough. There were some odd bits to Shrek2, Pinochio with ladies underwear, a giant gingerbread man, we meet various characters from the classic fairy tales, but they don't get time to develop. Isn't an ogre supposed to be strong? I just never really felt involved in the story, it felt contrived, even the oh-so subtle product placement.
For the first time ever though I thought hey these animes are better/as good as than real actors. I think I could accept a serious film with these animes.
