Okay the first scene was really well done with him reading the fairytale in his outhouse. Then the song que "Hey now you're an Allstar..." We then see a bunch of fairy creatures being sent to their fate, including the Donkey (who Shrek unwillingly saves) After crashing at the Ogre's place, a bunch of other fairy folk appear. Comic hillarity ensues.
Another great part was the part where the Prince (constant reciepient of short jokes) was tormenting the widly known Gingerbread man. They showed the shadow of the Gingerbread man being dipped into milk. Then we see his gingerbread limbs ripped off. The prince tells him to talk but the cookie says
"Eat me" then spits on him.
Affter threatening to rip off his buttons the Gingerbread man talks.
Gingerbread Man:"Do you know know the Muffon man?"
Prince: The muffon man!?
Gingerbread Man: The Muffon man.
Prince: Do I know the Muffon man?
Gingerbread: Who lives on Jewrey lane.
Prince: Yes! I know the Muffon man.
Great stuff.
And their was that other part where the Princess busts it out Matrix style on "would be hero" Robin Hood and his crew. Even fixing her hair while suspended in the air.
The constant Disney shots rivaled even Warner Brothers Animation department back in the early and mid 90's. Everything from the prince (a spoof on Mike Eisner), to the various Disney like fantasy sequences (Mighty Ducks movies, Lion King, Sleeping Beauty goodNESS is nothing sacred?) all the way to his castle (Disneyland right down to the singing dolls, brilliant) Everyone was really well cast Eddie Murphy was a good Donkey (I can see the toys and story books.)
Okay now to the spoilers...
The revelation of the Princess being an Ogre herself really took me by suprise. Then the whole misunderstanding between Shrek and her, really sad and depressing. They didn't know how much the other loved them, made for interesting stuff.
End spoilers.
In the End Shrek is definately worth while. Look out Disney a new competitor m,ay be on the horrizon, Dreamworks.
