One of DreamWork's Finest

Rating: 8/10 (15 January 2016)

Shrek really speaks volumes to what DreamWorks can bring to the table as this is a very compelling comedy. Nowadays comedies have fallen flat and are rarely able to hit home instead of the foul zone. But Shrek and DreamWorks has such clever talent that the originality of the idea automatically makes this a one-of-a-kind comedy. Shrek would also begin DreamWorks' run as a real and legit animated film company. In fact legit is an understatement to what an impact this film has had on popular culture. As today it is regarded as one of there finest along with How to Train Your Dragon, and Kung Fu Panda. Shrek offers a mixture of laughter and satire, while also throwing in some drama and action. The voice talent is one thing DreamWorks knows how to do, and every single character is voiced by a major celebrity. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, John Lithgow, and Cameron Diaz, heck even Larry King has a role in this. I was so excited to see the second film, but that's for another time. Now to grade.
