Storyline
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.

It's wondrous, it's fabulous, it's -- all but unprecedented.

Chicago Sun-Times
This is not your average family cartoon. Shrek is jolly and wicked, filled with sly in-jokes and yet somehow possessing a heart.

A movie that appeals to the eye, mind, heart and funny bone; that's a pretty good quadruple for any movie.

New York Magazine (Vulture)
The script, instead of being what we tolerate in order to savor the visuals, is a delight all by itself.

Chicago Reader
A movie whose story may be even more innovative than the superreal solidity of the animated characters.
