Shrek: The Final Chapter

For nearly a decade the Shrek franchise is the figurehead for the unimaginative animated entertainment. Compared to Pixar, a company that seems the genre to reinvent each time it delivers another award-winning CG marvel, stand-up lite humor and constant pop culture shout-outs of tired tent pole DreamWorks’ seems to represent the antithesis originality and creativity. The good news about Shrek: The Final Chapter (formerly known as Shrek After Forever ) is that for once, the creators of this series cracking try something new and fresh. The bad news is that the above attempt at innovation is still shrouded in the same old hackneyed humor.


At first, it seems that everything will be as usual Shrek. Now an anguished father who have no time to wallow in the excesses of his ogre past, our big green Goof (again voiced by Mike Myers) are forced to feed and diaper are windy children put up with the Donkey’s (Eddie Murphy) daily Shenanigans, and suffering his wife Fiona (Cameron Diaz) and scowl disapproval. After an incident at a birthday party, Shrek goes in the “magical contract expert” Rapunzel (Walt Dohrn), who promises him 24 hours of pre-wedding fun for a day in the history of the sample. A pause, Shrek signs long parchment. Within moments, he was transferred to a version of Far Far Away, where anarchy rules, ogres are hunted and used as slaves, and no one remembers our clumsy hero. It is the beast one way to find the spell and getting his slipper, but thankfully back to reality.
