General Comments
Shrek sets off to poor start with a few farting jokes followed by the well known song All Star. But swiftly moves into an enjoyable family film and by its end we have been enchanted by a fairy tale world of green ogres, fierce dragons, talking donkeys and yes, a beautiful princess who is waiting to be rescued by her true love. But it's no sugar-coated fairytale. And lots of sarcasm for all the teenagers out there.



Though Shrek is an animation, it is not just for the younger generation, most adults will find Shrek hilarious, along with the visual humour comes the verbal humour, this is what most people will find funny.



Shrek contains many fairytale characters ranging from The Gingerbread Man to Pinocchio, but Donkey is arguably the funniest character in the whole animation. Most of the lines that Donkey delivers may only be understood by adults but some of the actions that he displays are hilarious in themselves.



Shrek can relate to the modern audience because of things that appear in the film such as, when Shrek is shouting at Donkey and he says to Shrek about needing Tic-Tacs.



Shrek can also relate to most fairytales because of the opening shot where Shrek pulls the page out of the book at the beginning. If you are looking for a great twisted fairytale then this is the film to watch, it is bowel achingly funny.
