Lots of laughs and fun for those who normaly wouldn't like an animated movie.

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2001)

"Shrek" directed by Andrew Adamson, Vicky Jenson, and Scott Marshall is a magnificent animated movie. It stars Mike Myers(Shrek), Eddie Murphy(Donkey), Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona), John Lithgow (Lord Farquaad), and many others. This comedy is rated PG and lasts for an hour and a half but you'll be laughing long after that.
This is a story of acceptance. The comedy isn't complex, the jokes may not seem to be to original but they definately make you laugh out loud. Shreck is an ogre, a mythological creature who is fierce and ugly, who's solitude is disrupted when a talking donkey wanders into his life. As soon as this happens a group of other mythological creatures happens to come along and take residence in his swamp. Furious with his life being interrupted, Shrek decides to go to Lord Farquaad and demand that his swamp return to the way it was. When he arrives Lord Farquaad gives him an offer. "Rescue the Fair Princess Fiona and I will return your swamp to the way it was." On his quest Shrek and Donkey encounter mishaps and merry men which will make your stomach hurt from all the laughing. I don't care for animated movies that have dancing and singing, but I couldn't pull myself from this movie. I enjoyed this movie and think you will too.
