Truly the greatest fairy tale ever told

Rating: 9/10 (3 June 2003)

This ogre-sized adventure is my favourite animated film. The ending is a bit slow and sappy compared to the rest of the film but other than that is brilliant. Shrek is one of the few movies that I can watch over and over - something that I usually find impossible to do.
It's full of little subtle jokes that I don't manage to pick up on for a while and has some of my favourite actors in it - John Lithgow and Mike Myers.
The storyline may not be completely original (not that it's intended to... the whole thing is making fun of previous movies) but it makes by with it's wit and charm.
Of course I got the real expert on Animated films, my younger sister -to give me her opinion on it. It's her favourite too.
9/10
