I think it my comments reflect the movie well.

Rating: 10/10 (5 July 2004)

The directors of Shrek are Andrew Adamson as co-director who did BATMAN FOREVER, A TIME TO KILL and BATMAN and ROBIN. Vicky Jenson as the other co-director who did FAMILY TREE and SHARK TALE. The genres are Adventure / Romance / Animation / Fantasy / Family / Comedy.
In a faraway land called Duloc, a ruler but not yet king, the small Lord Farquaad (voiced by John Lithgow) has banished all the fairy tale characters from the land so it can be as boring as he is. However, there are three characters that will stand is his way. The first is a smelly, green ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers), his faithful steed, a Donkey (Eddie Murphy), who will do anything but shut up, and the beautiful, but tough Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) whom Lord Farquaad wishes to make his wife so he can become king of Duloc.
My favourite character is Donkey. I like him because of his scene of humour and a habit of always getting in trouble when Shrek needs him most. Donkey is one of those characters that never shuts up, he can sometimes get very annoying. Sometimes you just want to get rid of him but then he saves your life so you keep him following you.
The animation in this film was quite amazing and it must have taken the producers a long time to get the film to this standard. Some of the scenes are almost realistic with the scene with the dragon it really looks like it is about to come down and take you into the screen. I didn't find a single fault with the animation in this film and it was breathtaking the amount of hard work put into this amazing film.
