watching the first SHREK as a young adult

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2009)

I watched the first SHREK last night in over 4 years and I completely forgot of how funny this movie really is. Although I knew the plot and knew what was going to happen next, I was still laughing at almost every scene.
This movie brought back my good old child memories. However, it also brought back the memories of the SHREK sequels. SHREK 2 was still very funny, but it was not as brilliant as the first. But for SHREK 3, I think that is where the whole franchise went horribly wrong.
I still consider SHREK a classic movie, changing the animation genre completely. It brought a whole new audience to the genre and told people that animation is not only for little kids.
