An Age Old Tale

Rating: 8/10 (10 September 2018)

(Flash Review)
The animation for this was really good. I bet even more impressive 17 years ago. Shrek, is an orge, who just wants to live in solitude because he is big and people are frightened by his appearance. But a Lord Farquaad has expelled all fairy creatures from the town and into Shrek's neck of the woods. To get his swamp back he strikes a deal with Lord Farquaad to rescue princess Fiona from a dragon so the Lord can become a real King by marrying a princess. Many positive lessons for kids are learned along the way. Shrek needs to learn that being separate is no way to live because some people find him ugly or scary and that what's inside matters more than one's appearance and that it is more fun to have friends that live by yourself. Many things are revealed through fun plot twists accompanied by amusing jokes and situations and some real drama. A fun, simple and memorable movie.
