Shrek The Third (2007)

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2019)

When I began watching children's animated movies like Up, WALL-E, Finding Nemo, and many others, I remember them all feeling like an amazing piece of work that could not be topped. I also felt the same with the movies Shrek and Shrek 2, but thought that they can't possibly come up with another movie better than the previous two. I was of course proven wrong by the fact that they had changed the title from Shrek 3 to Shrek the Third and overall made a better movie and an overall experience I've never had in my life. Compared to other animated movies like Finding Nemo, and WALL-E, Shrek the Third has completely crushed them with precise dialogue and perfectly timed comedical effects that make it out to be one of the best movies in this century.
Shrek the Third starts off with the king of land Far Far Away falling ill. The only thing is that Shrek will become the king if he dies. Shrek is then told that there is one person that could become king. The only problem was they had to go find him and bring him back. Shrek along with Donkey, and Puss and Boots have to go get Fiona's cousin, Artie, a teenage slacker in high school. Along this journey they begin to find themselves emotionally and begin to realize who they are meant to be.
In the scene where Shrek begins to take off from the ship to find Fiona's cousin he begins to think about what it will be like to become a father, since Fiona is now pregnant. This is one of the most comical scenes and will be sure to make the whole family laugh. It starts with Shrek in a dream where the boat that they are on lands at his swamp. He then walks in and hears a baby. Once he looks at it, it starts to cry and vomits on him like a fire hydrant. Then as he looks over he sees another baby about to fall off a shelf. Then he sees another with a flame in its hand. Then more and more babies start to cause destruction in his house to which thousands are just flowing into his house from the windows. At this point Shrek wakes up and starts to think that he is no longer suitable to be a father.
Another great scene is where Artie has his speech. In this speech he talks about how everyone can be whatever they want. He also goes into the theme that it doesn't matter about what other people think or say about you, it just matters what you think and you shouldn't let anyone get in the way of that. He also goes on to say that the only person that is keeping you from being what you want to be is yourself.
Overall this movie proves to be one of the best movies of this century. From the first scene that I described showing fantastic comedical effect and hilarious visuals, you can see why so many people claim for this movie to be one of their favorite movies if not there most favorite movie. Also from the second scene that I described you can see that this move can also be very serious and still stay true to it's true theme that you can be whatever you want and you shouldn't let anyone stop you. This is important because it shows kids how they shouldn't let anyone stop them from doing what they like. Without this movie the world would be missing a great film with hilarious details and fantastic precise language that overall just makes the audience happy, and just an overall fantastic movie.
