SHREK is a classic fairy tale. It has a hero, a beautiful princess and a dastardly villain. Unlike the fairy tales of old, however, the hero is an ugly ogre, the princess is not all she appears to be, and the villain has some obvious short coming. SHREK kind of looks backwards at all fairy tale tradition we grow up on, and takes great fun turning all those storytelling conventions upside-down and inside-out.
What I like about this movie it has a twist and it has a message. I like the background, the animation and the tecnology that they used for this movie.
