Wonderful Revolution of the "Fairy Tale"

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2003)

Talking about bad luck for Disney Studios, just in the year the Academy finally conceded to create the Oscar for animated picture, their Monsters, Inc (very good, by the way) had to run against simply the best one ever made by any other studio.
Shrek is original, hysterical, delightful.
It makes fun of practically all the fairy tales classics.

The prince is the bad guy, the ogre is the hero, the princess ridiculize her own stereotype.
Even in the "happily ever after" ending the movie remains true to its nature.
And, last but no least - the donkey as the sidekick is priceless. Eddie Murphy at his best.
