Shish kebabs a whole lot of Disney tropes. Gives you solid relationship goals. Therapizes your avoidant attachment style. The whole package.

Anthony Kozlowski

Shows its age a little, but still a staggering achievement in animation with an “all star” cast of characters.

Everything in this movie was on point: the story, dialogue, and music.

Iconic, genuinely fun movie, all the hype ? It deserves

Reshaped what a fairytale could be with an unlikely protagonist, classic Dreamworks animated masterpiece with incredible voice acting by all

Shrek is my favorite Dreamworks franchise. Love this movie

A good way to start off the series, not as good as the second but still fun

Archibald Fenton

A fake Scottish accented ogre, a one liner spitting donkey, a secretly green princess and a short king of sexual innuendos

A very good movie I remember enjoying as a kid. You could probably write a book about its weird cultural relevance in the present day.
