delightful!!

Rating: 8/10 (29 September 2001)

Shrek is a delightful comedy from the makers of Antz. using the same trick of featuring very popular voices from the movie world, that they used in Antz, dreamworkz have woven a comedy that is immediately appealing to one and all.
the movie might be a bit of a landmark, in probably being the first animated movie to be a farce. the movie has spoofs on not only famous movies, but also many fairytales.
Shrek though goes beyond just that. the movie is funny in its own right, eddie murphy as the fast talking donkey and mike myers as the grumpy ogre are extra-ordinary
mild spoiler ahead!!
the scene in which the ogre suggests that ogres are like onions while the donkey suggests more palatable dishes like the cake & parfaits is extraordinarily funny. eddie murphy is jus perfect for the donkey :)
this is a movie that kids and adulst will enjoy equally well. the movie is refreshingly different from the regular hollywood staple fare.
an entertaining 8
