Shrek

Despite its now-dated pop culture references, inferior sequels, and massive cultural over-saturation... I absolutely and unabashedly love this movie. The biting satire, the well-drawn characters, the surprising humanity (ogreity?) - it all still puts a huge grin on my face.

This is the single greatest in-joke ever told and my hat is off to the writers, producers, directors, and everyone else involved with creating a beloved classic just to show the world that in every medium there is Cameron Diaz is ultimately just an ogre.

Shrek is very funny, and it looks wonderful. It's great for all ages, even if it's a little crude at times. Really good!

An animated movie that manages to have complex characters and produce great laughs. The ending is perfect, as it manages to give the viewer a happy ending while staying within the tone of the film.

A non-Disney animated flick that's really good. Sadly, the pop culture refernces will make this move go stale in the next few years, but enjoy it now while it's still fresh. The sequal is good too, but will suffer the same fate. Still, it's a touching story that I like and my kids enjoy.
