Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.8|5.0 Starsìììì

Shrek—original, creative, witty, fun—thrives on comedy and outstandingly defined characters that rely on the voicing talents of Mike Meyers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow. The movie becomes an overnight classic for animated family entertainment that earns every dime spent on its ticket.
