Summary: Opened on the day after my birthday
Review: This video is cool. I just saw the movie on opening day. This film first came out the day after my birthday. I don't have the video. My 7 1/2 yrs old sister is gonna get this for a birthday gift and I am gonna get the DVD for myself for a Christmas present. I hope we win the Game Boy Advance. I only won a prize in 1 movie. And I won a prize in Thomas and the Magic Railroad. The prize I won was Thomas's Christmas Wonderland in the video and in the DVD I won the Thomas and the Magic Railroad Soundtrack. I didn't won the gameboy advance with the Magic Railroad game. So I hope I really win what I want. Shrek is a cool movie. I have 2 favorite parts in the movie. My favorite part was the one when the donkey said To Shrek "You better need some tic-tacs for someone because Your breath stinks". My second favorite part in the movie is when the dragon ate and swollowed Lord Farquad. I hope you like all those funny things. I think Shrek is the funniest the most silliest movie I ever heard.

Summary: WOOOORD AWESOME MOVIE
Review: I'm 16 years old so one would think, "hey you why would you like this movie you shmuck?" but I say to them "pick stuff off the grass shine your shoes" and kiss my . . . FACE!! It is a great movie and most of the humor (although clean in general) is suggestive of things that only older people would get.

Summary: Thank You, Thank You..I'm Here Till Thursday...Try The Veal!
Review: Shrek is without a doubt one of the most fresh and original films to come along in a long while. While some might frown upon its rather "adult oriented" material (something that helped Dreamworks's last computer animated movie, Antz, work so well) others will realize this movie is more for us adults in the first place. Sure, we've all seen the Disney films like Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty etc. The thought of turning those classics on their ears with a comic twist is enough to entice many of us to see Shrek, even if only out of curiosity. And with comic talents such as Mike Myers (as Shrek), Eddie Murphy (as Donkey), Camerine Diaz (as Princess Fiona) & John Lithgow (as Lord Farquaad) you know you're going to be howling all the way through the picture. The story, like most great animated features, is pretty simple, but with added intrigue. Because of Lord Farquaad, all the fairytale creatures have been banished to Shrek (the Ogre)'s swamp. So to get them off his land he goes to the kingdom of DuLoc (accompanied by a talking Donkey) where Farquaad offers him a deal...free Princess Fiona from the clutches of an hideous dragon, and he will give him back his swamp as well as get rid of all the fairytale characters. Then you have your typical "Quest Scenerio" (with a twist) having Shrek (w/Donkey) going to save the Princess. (see the movie to learn more :-) Even the background characters such as the Gingerbread Man are a hoot. And to any "Red Dwarf" fan out there...doesn't Farquaads's magic mirror look a whole lot like Kryton (the robot)'s head? From the Fantastic computer animation that just makes you say "WOW" to wonderful Fairytale surroundings, Shrek is an instant classic that kids & adults alike will be watching for decades to come. The DVD is a 2 Disc set, mostly 2 discs so the filmmakers could make everybody happy by giving us both a Full Frame (Pan & Scan) version of Shrek to watch (1.33:1) as well as a Widescreen (Letterboxed) version (1.78:1). A very cute scene is added at the very end of the movie (after all the credits have finished) that is just hilarious! The DVDs have quite a lot of special features, such as a Behind the scenes featurette with interviews from the cast & crew. The Tech of Shrek: a small look behind the creation of the revolutionary visual computer anmimation, is quite interesting. Plus there are technical goofs (the Chia Pet Donkey is just a gas!) and much much more. But not everything came out perfect. The Game Swamp section is somewhat disappointing. With any game you play, not only do you not receive any type of reward or congradulations for winning, but for many choices you make in the game, it's mostly up to chance to get them correct (choose 1 out of 3 doors to continue your quest...but they all look the same!). Dreamworks should take a look at the fun games Disney has been giving us, namely Dopey's Wild Mine Ride, which is a lot of fun. Disney has even done DVD games where the winner gets to see a bonus cartoon as his reward. Take notes, Dreamworks. And the audio commentary is pretty good, but what I wouldn't give for an "Actors commentary" with Mike, Eddie, Cameron & John altogether (for the first time it would seem) discussing the film with hilarous anecdotes and laugh out loud humor. But don't let this in any way stop you from buying the movie. It's still very much worth it! Plus id you have a DVD-ROM, there's even more fun! Shrek - An Computer Animated Classic! "You may have seen a house fly, maybe even a super fly. But I bet you ain't never seen a donkey fly!" - Eddie Murphy as Donkey

Summary: Best DVD This Year
Review: I bought the DVD, having really enjoyed the movie (ok, so I fell out of my seat laughing) and was not disappointed in the slightest. Watching the movie again, I still laughed at everything (especially the gingerbread man and magic mirror scene...possibly the best scene in the movie), something that is rare when watching comedies (i.e. Something about Mary...not as funny the second time). The DVD is loaded with extras, but the best is the Shrek Karoke Scene. Some of the games are silly (i.e. ask the Magic Mirror) and the character interviews are not the funniest, but buy the DVD just for the crisp quality of the picture and sound. It is something you can enjoy all year round!!!

Summary: So-So
Review: The animation is pretty good but the whole movie never really impressed me beyond that. I think of the children's movies I grew up with and feel sorry for this generation of children that a movie experience is comprised of worn out gags and a hodge podge of popular music. Let your kids see Bambi or Fantasia instead.

Summary: huh?
Review: Wow, I guess I am one of the few who didn't like this movie. In fact, I didn't even finish watching it. I was really interested to see it after all the good things I had heard. I am also a big fan of Eddie Murphy, but it was completely overdone... The 2 stars are for the animation....

Summary: This is awesome!
Review: Hey! I'm an 8th grader, and all of my buddies and I saw this in the theatres and absolutley loved it. As you probably know, it comes with so many extra features, it is double the fun. I disagree that it is inappropriate for ages under 13, any 6 year old and older would appreciate it, even if they just like seeing the fairy tale creatures. I will say that there was one part that would be scary for kids, because it has a scary dragon that turns out to be sweet... All of my friends want this in their Christmas stocking, so Santa, wherever you are, be sure to pick this up for everyone!

Summary: An Ogre Meets a Jive-Talking Donkey and Cinderella
Review: The best thing about this film was the animation. The characters are computer graphics, and their movement, facial expressions and speech seem very real. The scenery is beautiful and realistic, too, and includes amazing details like the blades of grass covering hillsides -- you almost feel as though you are looking at a photographed scene rather than a synthetic one. This is a tale about a big, green, bald orgre with funny ears (voice by Mike Myers)who saves a jive-talking donkey (voice by Eddie Murphy)from being sold into servitude, and who then attaches himself to the ogre out of gratitude. This donkey seems to think he can talk himself out of any situation or persuade anybody about anything; but the ogre tolerates him and eventually, they become friends. Then the ogre's swamp, which he calls home, is suddenly inundated with comical fairy-tale characters evicted from the kindgom by the weird prince, whose voice is that of John Lithgow (Lithgow's rich voice and feigned petulance add a lot to the character). The ogre, ticked off at the unwanted guests in his swamp, complains to the Prince, who makes a deal with him: go find a fair damsel for the Prince to marry, and the Prince will readmit the evicted citizens and get them out of Ogre's swamp. Since the ogre values peace and quiet, he agrees. So the ogre and the jive-talking donkey go forth to a distant castle, guarded by a dragon, to extract the damsel and seal the deal. After some harrowing encounters with the dragon, the lady is collected and they begin their return to the kingdom to deliver her. But Ogre starts to think Damsel is cute and wonders if she could ever love a big guy with green skin. He doesn't know it, but Damsel has a problem of her own, one that might frighten away most suitors. Fortunately, a kiss from her true love is the antidote she needs. Not very original, but it works for me. Can true love survive weird princes, talking donkeys and ogrehood? You'll have to see the film to find out. The film was fun, funny and well done, but in spite of a twist at the end, the plot is predictable. Nevertheless, a fun film, worth a look.
