Let's make fun out of Disney... NOT!

Rating: 1/10 (9 July 2001)

Well, at least a good idea. But when it comes down to the movie, they made a Disney movie themselves.
The dialogues are simple and every single joke is explained in detail for the brainless. Mike Myer's voice doesn't fit the character of Shrek at all. John Goodman's would have been much better. Too bad he was already the peasant in Disney's "The Emperor's New Groove". Eddie Murphy was funny in "Beverly Hills Cop" more then ten years ago but not anymore.
"Shrek" is altogether a ROMANTIC(!!!) comedy (Disney) with a lot of "good-heart-ugly-looks"-moral (Disney) and a predictable happy end (again, Disney). It is a computer animated masterpiece (stunning visuals) for older couples, who just don't get Toy-Story-like fast-paced cartoon humour.
As I like to call it: A remake of Disney's "The Beauty and the Beast" with three or four toothless jokes and with the worst, most disturbing, least fitting soundtrack EVER!!!
If you want to have fun with CG-movies, go out and rent Toy Story 1 and 2 and Antz.
