A Really Fractured Fairy Tale

Rating: 9/10 (2 June 2001)

"Shrek" has got to be the best animated movie so far! I found it very cleverly written, and hilarious as well! I enjoyed the spoofs of so many familiar fairy tales and nursery rhymes. And the satire on the Disney Empire was also a hoot. The computer animation is breathtaking. The art form gets more and more state-of-the-art with each feature! Mike Myers scores well as a Scottish-accented Shrek (although it's not hard to imagine the voice of Chris Farley, the original choice, coming out of the ogre). And Eddie Murphy truly steals the show as Donkey. Despite some toilet humor, I'd say that "Shrek" is fun for the whole family!
