Everybody loves it!

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2001)

Small wonder that this movie will be a big $$ maker for Dreamworks. It appeals to almost every viewer on some level.
What I liked was the animation...the beautiful use of color, the subtle textures and attention to the smallest details. Eddie Murphy was perfect as Donkey. What I didn't like was all the fart references and gross-out humor. Hopefully, this fad shall pass from the movie industry's requisite for comedy.
I gave this film an 8 and have already recommended my boss and his family to go see it, so it had BETTER be good!
