"Shrek has an outhouse with a working toilet.
It is not part of the films cynical brand of irreverence that an ogres latrine is supported by modern plumbing. And its certainly not consistent with the hygiene of a swamp-dwelling beast who bathes in mud, brushes his teeth in slime and boasts of a killer weed rat stew. But after our lime-green hero literally wipes his ass with a fairytale ending, it was apparently decided that the film needed that emphatic flushing sound before the Smash Mouth single All Star kicked in and the introductory montage could commence. Twenty years later, that flushing sound seems to signify the moment when blockbuster animation circled the drain. Shrek is a terrible movie. Its not funny. It looks awful. It would influence many unfunny, awful-looking computer-animated comedies that copied its formula of glib self-reference and sickly sweet sentimentality. Three of those terrible movies were sequels to Shrek and one was a spin-off with a sequel in the works. The curse has eased but not lifted." https://www.theguardian.com/film/2021/may/17/shrek-20-unfunny-overrated-low-blockbuster Does CE agree? --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think Shrek was good and holds up well
Great music, good morals, fun adventure I mean I can see the complaint that making fun of Farquad for being a midget was kinda anti thetical to the message but it's still a good movie --- ^ Hey now that's completely unfair! https://imgur.com/yPw05Ob ... Copied to Clipboard!

It feels like it was written by someone who only watched the opening and the trailer.
Like, the outhouse having a flush is literally supposed to be a joke, isn't it? In line with the rest of the anachronisms in the film (Duloc is a Perfect Place, dating game magic mirror, audience prompts at the wedding, etc) --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Never cared for Shrek as a child. Would probably appreciate it more now as an adult, but the color pallet is off-putting and I'm generally not a big fan of toilet humor.

I recently rewatched it.
It's good. It's funny and the animation still holds up well considering the progress 3D animation has made. Michael Myers, John Lithgow Eddie Murphy as well as Cameron Diaz all give solid voice performances...

But its worth pointing out how comprehensively bad its legacy remains, opening up the floodgates for other major studios to pile celebrities into recording booths, feed them committee-polished one-liners and put those lines in the mouths of sassy CGI animals or human-ish residents of the uncanny valley.

I agree that it's not a very good movie, but in what way has it influenced animation? I think it really kickstarted the whole comedy CGI family movie with an all-star (heh) cast in a big way.

making fun of farquad for being a midget was dumb and hypocritical. worst part of the movie for sure and it always kinda bothered me. the fact that the creator of this article doesnt even mention that shows he was just a grumpy nerd. probably a CEman tbh --- - silverhyruler post ...
