One of the best animated movies of all time. Brilliantly funny. Never a dull moment!

Rating: 10/10 (22 February 2020)

One of my all time favourites. Loved it from the first time I watched it, and it still never ceases to make me smile.
The humour in this movie is wickedly irreverent, and generally appeals to adults more than children; but I think children will still enjoy this movie.
The voice cast delivers a fabulous performance. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, John Lithgow, Cameron Diaz - all perfect voices for the characters they played. The characters themselves were just perfectly illustrated, in an animation style that was rather realistic, yet remaining firmly in the "cartoon" realm. To me, it was in a sweet spot. I especially loved the buddy chemistry between Shrek and Donkey. Overall, this movie had heart.
The pacing of the movie was brisk, with a nice duration of about an hour and a half.
The songs and the soundtrack in this movie was also quite perfectly chosen, and was an excellent accompaniment to the story.
This movie is really fun to watch, stands up to repeated viewings, and I really can't find any fault in it.
