Eddie Donkey rules.

Rating: 6/10 (4 July 2013)

Well, of course I have seen Shrek before and I remember liking the crude humor and positive vibe of it. But seeing it again years later... I must have noticed back then, but this time some of the appalling graphics were simply off-putting. Also, the story isn't all that 'together' as it seemed before. And then the s-load of song intermezzi... some were okay, but there were just too many of them.
But there are some very positive notes to make also. Shrek himself and (especially!) Donkey are just fantastic characters, as well as a load of (supporting) characters as well, for instance Farquaad (the ugliness of his graphic design is fully 'in character') and Gingerbread Man. Fiona? She has her moments, surely. Dragon? Not so much. A lot of the crude (and less crude) humor is still quite charming though, and some sentimental touches ring nicely through.
Not as classic as I had remembered it, but all in all enjoyable, mostly because of Eddie Donkey.
