What sells Shrek is ultimately the full-bodied personality of its characters.
A movie that appeals to the eye, mind, heart and funny bone; that's a pretty good quadruple for any movie.

Aw, YES, Shrek is an AMAZING classic and does everything right about a movie and animation.

It is the hilarious business of Shrek, a delightful new animated feature based on the William Steig book, to subvert all the well-worn expectations of its genre.
It's possible to groan, chuckle, wince and be moist-eyed, sometimes in a span of seven or eight minutes.
The textures are detailed, the movements are realistic and the three-dimensional feel even improves on the humor -- you may think you've seen every good "Matrix" parody, but you haven't until you see this.
As innocent as a Disney movie -- and a lot more entertaining.
Desperately avoiding the risk of even a half-second of boredom, the movie is wall-to-window-to-door noise, babbling, and jokes.
Shrek (2001) is an absolute triumph of animated filmmaking. This modern-day fairytale takes all of the tropes of classic fairy tales and turns them on their head, creating a hilarious and heartwarming story that appeals to audiences of all ages. With clever humor, engaging characters, and stunning animation, Shrek is a true classic that stands the test of time.
From the moment the lovable ogre Shrek and his trusty sidekick Donkey hit the screen, you know you're in for a wild ride. Their dynamic chemistry is the driving force behind the film, and the two are perfectly matched in both humor and heart. The story is filled with delightful twists and turns, taking the audience on a journey that is both entertaining and emotionally resonant.
The animation in Shrek is truly groundbreaking. The film's creators used state-of-the-art technology to create a visually stunning world, filled with rich colors, intricate details, and memorable characters. From the grumpy ogre himself to the dazzling Princess Fiona, each character is uniquely designed and expertly animated.
In short, Shrek (2001) is a cinematic masterpiece that has earned its place as one of the greatest animated films of all time. It's a movie that will make you laugh, cry, and everything in between. With its timeless humor, unforgettable characters, and stunning animation, Shrek is a must-see for anyone who loves great movies.

It's a pretty entertaining and fun kids movie. The dynamic between Shrek and Donkey is a classic now.

I enjoyed it, but it was kinda OK. I'm kinda giving it a mixed bag. And yes, you are not going to believe it, but I actually prefer all of the other 3 films over this film, they have better animation (well of course), better jokes and a better plot.
Report
Fiona was the only good part about this movie. Donkey was a grating plot device and the humor was lame.

For fixed-wing aircraft, ground effect is the reduced aerodynamic drag that an aircraft's wings generate when they are close to a fixed surface. Reduced drag when in ground effect during takeoff can cause the aircraft to "float" while below the recommended climb speed.
