Instant classic

Shrek is a beautifully told, hilariously funny fairy tale.
The voices are wonderful, the look of the film is astonishing and the script is beyond brilliant.
The use of modern pop songs adds something very unique to the tale, hopefully a soundtrack that includes Smashmouth and The Proclaimers will have resonance with viewers for years to come.
Ya gotta love this movie. Even if one of the characters looks like Oprah (see the movie to guess which one).
