Shrek (2001)
7/10
What a classic!
26 October 2020
Once upon a time - not too long ago - a writer had an idea to write a fairy tale made up of various fairy tale characters. And thus, a franchise was born.

You can't help but love 'Shrek' - the character and the film. Shrek is one of the most unconventional yet most lovable characters seen in an animated film in a while. His sidekick, Donkey, almost steals the show thanks to his witty dialogue and FANTASTIC voicing by Eddie Murphy. He's just adorable!

Together, they embark on a dangerous and exciting journey to save a princess, but for very different reasons you might think. They have absolutely no interest in the princess whatsoever - or, at least, that's what Shrek thought...

'Shrek' is a delightful and very funny action adventure film, with several underlying messages. Children will adore the film for its characters and funny moments, while the film will also appeal to a mature audience on a deeper level, which children wont really understand.

This is a very clever, excellently executed script. The inclusion of the song 'Hallelujah' was just awesome, and very appropriate. And what a beautiful ending - the stuff fairy tales are made of!! I love it!

'Shrek' was a huge box office sensation, earning $506 million on a $60 million budget. It also raked in 99 award nominations, winning 39, including an Oscar for Best Animated Feature. This is a classic!

Would I watch it again? Absolutely.
