An Excellent Animated Treat
Adults will enjoy this movie with it's vast array of stars. With humorous performances by Mike Myers as the voice of Shrek, Eddie Murphy as The Donkey, Cameron Diaz as Princess Fiona, John Lithgow as Lord Farquad and the supporting cast of "Fairy Tale Things" this movie was truly a funny movie. It begins with the introduction of Shrek, an enormous green ogre who lives alone in a swamp. Then through a twist of fate, Eddie Murphy as the hilarious talking donkey enters Shrek's life as his un-invited companion. Shrek then finds his swamp bombarded with "Fairy Tale Things", including a decapitated Gingerbread Man as well as the Three Blind Mice and Three Little Pigs and hundreds of other creatures who were forced onto Shrek's property by the evil Lord Farquad. Shrek then begins a journey to see Lord Farquad to remove the creatures from his property, who sends him on a journey to rescue the beautiful Princess Fiona from the fiery dragon to be his bride so that he may become King. The action is non-stop as are the laughs in this movie. The ending has the usual twist with hilarious outakes and a kareoke scene by all the characters at the end. Overall, this film is a must-see for children and adults alike.

This Movie is Great!
Have you ever read the book Shrek by William Steig? This fantastic movie is about his delightfully fractured fairy tale. This movie is the right stuff for this computer-animated adaptation full of verve and wit. Shrek, The Ogre (voiced by Mike Myers) is an agreeable enough ogre who wants to live his days in peace. But when the mean, and evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) evicts local fairy-tale creatures (including the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and the Gingerbread Man),from there own home, they settle in Shrek's swamp and Shrek wants answers from Farquaad. A quest of freedom starts for Shrek and his new buddy, a talking donkey, who was one of the creatures evicted ( voiced by Eddie Murphy), where battles have to be won and a princess(voiced by Cameron Diaz) must be rescued from a dragon lair. The story is stronger than most animated fare, but it's the humor that makes Shrek a winner. Shrek is never as warm and inspired as both Toy Story films, but the perfect realistic computer animation and an pretty good soundtrack (Smash Mouth, Baha Men) keep the entertainment in fine form. Know I know what you are thinking, "It has to be a famous Disney movie!" But it's not. It's is prouduced by DreamWorks, who does a spectacular job.

Cute Little Donkey
I love this movie because of the adorable little donkey. He is so cute! He is obnoxious, yet adorable and friendly. He is also the most underrated character in the movie. Shrek and Fiona would not have been anywhere without all Donkey's loving, sweet help. I say let's band together and give Donkey the respect he deserves.
