WOW! I just watched this film a couple of nights ago and was truly blown away at this amazingly charming, and often very funny film!
Everyone involved with this production should take a bow, they created a masterpiece with 'Shrek', both the film, AND the man, er um, Ogre, himself. He's a magnificent creation made extremly lovable by both the animators and the voice talent of Mike Myers, using the same exact voice he used for the father charactor in another film of his 'So I Married an Axe Murderer'. It doesn't end their, Eddie Murphy really shines as a Donkey who accepts Shrek without question, and can't seem to keep a tune to himself. Cameron Diaz as the by-the-book princess who's aggravation at Shrek's refusal to play by the fairy tale rules, is quite funny.
But on a laughscale of 1 to 10, John Lithgow's Lord Farquaad scores about an 11! I've never seen a funnier diminutive little runt since Dark Helmet!
All of these great charactors are surrounded by the most beautiful and striking fairy tale land not seen since Dorothy went off to see the wizard! Just an amazing feat of computer graphics creates a world so rich, soft, and dreamlike that it makes one long to be there with them on their adventures.
I could go on, but you've probably heard it all before, and i'm sorry, but this film just got me jazzed, I LOVED SHREK!
To those who havn't seen it yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
