Shrek 2
(out of four)
Even ogres can live happily ever after. That was the charming twist at the end of Shrek, in which a beautiful princess chose to embrace her inner ogre over the certain boredom of marrying a handsome prince. In the increasingly déclassé world of old Disney storybook classics, the gaseous, raucous, and unapologetically non-PC Shrek was downright revolutionary. And just as startling as its willful irreverence was its cutting-edge computer animation, from the nitro-yellow-green glow of Shrek’s pockmarked skin to the meticulously rendered leaves of the fairy-tale forest.
