The original Shrek was a CG classic or masterpiece. It's truly a work of art in the computer graphics field. The detail in the CGI was AMAZING for its time and it still manages to impress me today. Other animated films like "Finding Nemo" and "Monsters Inc" compare to the beautiful composure, however Shrek is dominantly more humourous.



The movie just has the word clever written all over it. It can definately satisfy a group of young children while also managing to get some adults to laugh hysterically. With this in mind I would advise some parents to view the content before having their children view the film. There is some suggestive material and curse words hidden througout the film. Most parents I've known have avoided showing this film to young children, so if you are one of those kinds of parents, I advise you to have them view some of the Disney films instead. Remember Disney did not make this film.



The voice-overs are great. Some films have tried to make a great voice-over team and sadly failed. Murphy, Myers, and Diaz definately raised the bar and set an example for CGI movies to come. So pretty much what makes this movie work is the talent, humor, and clever animation.



So if you haven't seen this film, pay some tribute to American filmmaking and get this American Classic. It was a huge success because it was such an original and fun film. Don't miss it for the world.
