Shrek is Unique !!! William Steig made THE perfect computer-animated adaptation. This movie is fun for all ages because it's storyline is creative and has different understanding 'levels', is romantic, about friendship and a great comedy. The humor makes Shrek the ultimate movie for all.

Dreamworks produced this movie with something for everyone. With excellent spoof on other fairy tales, stabs at the rival : Disney ! It's a perfect animated tale, wonderful for adults and children alike.
