I have to admit that Shrek didn't make me laugh out loud, but that may be because of the terribly annoying woman sitting four rows behind me. She couldn't stop laughing at every single Disney pun in the movie... and since there is one of those every 5 minutes or so, imagine my dilemna. Besides that, Shrek was really loads of fun, and it was short and to the point. The film didn't really take itself too seriously and was peppered with subtle humor... well some times, it wasn't all that subtle. There are so many stabs at Disney that one hopes the guys at Dreamworks finally got it out of their system. The story is simple which is perfect because fairytales shouldn't require much from their audience. The characters and casting were great (the funniest character has to be The Donkey), and the animation was simply amazing. My only hope is that they don't produce a sequel... something so entertaining does not deserve to be ruined with a second attempt.
