Synopsis
It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey.

Shrek is perhaps one of the most imaginative and creative worlds ever brought to life in an animated film. It's a wonderful concept: taking all the stories and characters from fairy tales and putting them into a universe, with a comedic twist on what *probably* would have been reality.
Another aspect I like about this film is the message. Very rarely in children's animated films do we see such a troubled and flawed protagonist. Shrek is a character hardened by years of abuse and persecution by society, and this has turned him into a man who prefers isolation from society because in the end it hurts him the least; he is trapped in his misery. It's such a strong and relevant theme that I think everyone can relate to to some extent. And when we see someone like Shrek, our first instinct is usually to avoid him and go on with our own lives. But Dreamworks does a great job of revealing Shrek's character and showing that all he needs is someone to love him, and not give up when the going gets tough or when he's pushed away. It's a film about a broken character learning to live again. It's a brilliant message and a brilliant way to convey it to children. Shrek was more than just a great 2001 animated film. It was a groundbreaking step in the animation genre that DreamWorks made what it is today. It created some of the most iconic characters of all time and was a great movie overall. I grew up with Shrek and it was a great ride. The idea of the ogre becoming a hero is so important. It created so many references and memes. Shrek has become a symbol of my generation.

Each movie of the series is very entertaining and a very nice wide universe has been created. The donkey and dragon relationship is my favorite 🤠 and for some reason both they and Shrek have triplets, I wonder what these three loves are
