    Character Evaluation

    Andrew Adamson is a successful case of transforming from visual effects to director. He is also a man who changed the childhood fantasy of a generation. He is good at combining adventure, fantasy and weirdness. Once his first work "Shrek" was released, it not only won praise from critics, but also received recognition from the audience. The subversive significance of the "Shrek" series is that Andrew Adamson not only used the "harlequin" as the protagonist of the animation, but also added countless adult interest and rebellious gestures to the animation that has always required "political correctness", which is very important to popular culture and fashion. His sarcasm is even more vivid than black comedy. This opened the floodgates to the diversity of American animation .

      Not enough places for short comments

      Oscar for Best Animation (2001), "Shrek", a classic DreamWorks that has been watched three or four times. This time I watched the main review episode.

      how to say?
      As the title, but fortunately its ending.

      I vaguely remember that when I saw the almost ending, what I thought was, aha, the princess still has to change back to that beautiful princess.
      Even...

      The reason why I got the first episode of the Little Golden Man animation feature is that it created a new selling point for animation spoofs. Most of the time it was Eddie Murphy's talking donkey.

    Shrek quotes

    • Princess Fiona: Fare thee well, ogre.

      [leaves with Farquaad]

    • [staring up at the starry night]

      Shrek: [pointing at a constellation] ... and that one, that's Throwback, the only ogre to spit over three wheat fields.

      Donkey: Okay, I see it. Hey, Shrek, can you tell my future from these stars?

      Shrek: Well, the stars don't tell the future, Donkey, they tell stories. That one is Bloodnok, the Flatulent. You can guess what HE's famous for...

      Donkey: Okay, now I know you're making that up!

      Shrek: [pointing] No! See, that's him, and this is the group of hunters running away from his stench.

      Donkey: Man, that ain't nothing but a bunch of little dots.

      Shrek: You know, Donkey, things are more than what they seem, hmm?... Forget it.
