3-D animation is what color movies were in the 1940s. It is still fascinating to see these creatures come to life on screen, and they quality has been getting better with each film. Shrek 3 will make your jaw drop when you see the first close up of Shrek. He looks so real with his freckles it's a little scary. What I love about the Shrek movies is that they are meant for kids, but has lots of adult humor, so adults have an excuse to sit through a cartoon. All of the Shrek movies take an extra step that crosses the boundary that Disney movies dare not to, that's why I enjoy them so much.
The 3rd movie was a little short, but for the most part I was entertain the whole time. The best thing about short movies is that there is never any down time if it is a relatively good movie. Although this movie kind of annoyed me a little bit when Shrek runs into more problems again and he gets down on himself again. I wish they would try and find something else to work the plot around then the fact of him having to overcome some impossible odds while questioning himself throughout the whole time. The best thing about this movie was Gingerbread man, Pinocchio, and Donkey of course. They steal the show around the sobbing Shrek who is always having problems that everyone else around him deals with just fine.
The movie overall is a decent one. The laughs are non-stop, the incorporation of other classic fairy tales is great, and the animation is the best I have seen so far. I wish they would make a spin-off of Gingerbread man or Pinocchio. Shrek is a cool guy and all, but I think we've all had enough with his poor misfortunes that lead him to the best of things. I give Shrek 3 a 3.7 out of 5, it was a great addition to this series, and I am looking forward to the Puss-in-boots spin-off and the supposedly next 3.
