I Laughed I Cried It was Better Than Cats!

Rating: 9/10 (23 May 2001)

Shrek is a welcome addition to the animation genre that recognizes that "for children of all ages" doesn't mean dumbed down. A clever, creative romp through the world of the Fairy Tale, Shrek is a visual wonderland that never smirks at its own wit, nor loses its heart. Its not often that any film these days moves its audience to applause midway through...yet mine did. My one caveat is that I wish Hollywood would take its own advice, and stop judging people by their looks. Its nice to plug this film as encouraging children to see people for what's inside...now if only the entertainment industry would do the same.
