Shrek

Shrek is the kind of "new" ogre that the world has been waiting for; he is house-proud, an avid cook, mild-mannered (unless irritated), and has a beating heart behind his thick green skin, if only someone could penetrate his stern isolation. Princess Fiona believes she is the one, but princesses who have been imprisoned in castles for too long typically have a tenuous grasp of reality. She takes some time to realize that her true claimant is Lord Farquaad, a tyrant of small stature, who has contracted out her deliverance in exchange for the removal of the various bothersome fairytale characters milling around Shrek's manor. When Shrek rescues her from the dragon that has been devouring her suitors.

It is evident that DreamWorks is accelerating the pace of its animated films. The movie is an accomplishment on a technical level. Gag by gag—and there is a stream—is gleefully irreverent on both the vocal and visual levels. However, the overall picture is somewhat more traditional. The play's use of fairytale clichés only serves to modernize them for future usage, and the message is delivered with sincere tenderness. I'm not convinced about the list of "hip" soundtracks either.
