Not just a great movie for kids, but the best movie I've seen all year.

Rating: 9/10 (19 June 2001)

What an amazingly clever and witty film. It succeeds as a movie to thoroughly entertain children, but also one that adults will also find extremely funny. The animation and fairy tale story will get to the kids, and the humor, with references to "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon", Otis Redding, the Monkees, and the Errol Flynn version of "The Adventures of Robin Hood" and the sendup of a lot of Disney films (do you think that Jeffrey Katzenberg now feels as if he's gotten even with Michael Eisner?) will appeal to the adults.
My wife and I took our kids to see "Shrek" to entertain them. As much as they liked it (and they liked it a lot). We liked it more. It also sounded like the cast of the film had a lot of fun making it.
