A contemporary The Beauty and the Beast

Rating: 7/10 (31 August 2001)

I saw Shrek with my five years boy who was charmed by the story (tender moments between the donkey and the dragoon have been very much appreciated). I was charmed too. It is magical and very clever. The story is layered for different levels of understanding and even if a child hardly understands certain hints (f.e.: the notice during the wedding or the signals for tourists of Dulac)enjoys the atmosphere and perceives the hilarity of the situations.
A good film for children and adults.
