The best Shrek movie, at least prior to 2022 (unless your nostalgia holds part 1 afloat like it does for so many millennials, myself included). And this comes from someone who thought the character was really stupid in the Shrek sequels. This is basically a big Zorro riff, but with a cat in the lead, and it’s quite charming and zippy. Something was going on at Dreamworks from 2009-2011. This isn’t Dragon tier, but it is Kung Fu Panda tier.

Very Good (6/8)
