Most witty and clever animation so far!

GO SEE SHREK!! The movie is pure genius. If you're not laughing out loud, you have a big smile across your face. True, some of the jokes are more adult oriented and gross and crass, but for anyone who has spent anytime an elementary school playground will know that kids today are surprisingly rude and vulgar. It always amazes me how some parents try to shelter there kids from offensive materials. Don't get me wrong, the majority of reviews for Shrek have been positive. However, I would like to comment on certain people who believes it lowers social standards or that the disgusting jokes are unnecessary. My advice, stop being so old and be a kid again. I do research in an elementary school and I've encountered kids who can make a sailor blush with their copious knowledge of explicative words! Besides, those who feel that they should shield their kids of a brilliant movie like this would probably be the parents who'd be shocked that their kids are the drug dealers and pimps.
Anyway, got a little off track. Shrek is a great film that pokes fun at Disney, fairy tales in general, and should appeal to the kids in all of us (well except those who are intent on staying old and grumpy).
