A wonderfully original animated film for adults as well as k

"Utterly original, terrific animated film, with great voice performances by Mike Meyers and Eddie Murphy,
written with lots of adult wit and humor. Word play and visual puns abound. You don't have to be a kid to love it,
or have kids to rent or buy it. Charming, sweet, funny and romantic.
Amazing, hip use of music (including John Cale's version of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah'- how's that for obscure?).
On DVD, try and get the now inexplicably, inexcusably out-of-print widescreen version, so you don't lose chunks
of the lovely visuals on the sides of the frame. It can sometimes be found used for a reasonable price."
I LOVE the first Shrek movie!

"The first one will always remain as THE best Shrek in the Shrek series and I think everyone can agree with me. Shrek 2 was an awesome sequel, Shrek 3 just went overboard, and Shrek The Final chapter brought a good ending to the mix."
