The greatest fairy tale never told.
You’ve never met a hero quite like Shrek, the endearing ogre who sparked a motion picture phenomenon and captured the world’s imagination with.. the Greatest Fairy Tale Never Told!
The critics are calling Shrek: “Brilliant, dazzling, hilarious, wondrous, and thoroughly entertaining…… A must for all ages.” (Lisa McIntosh, Sunday Mail). Relive every moment of Shrek’s (Mike Myers) daring quest to rescue feisty Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) with the help of his loveable loudmouthed Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and win back the deed to his beloved swamp from scheming Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). Enchantingly irreverent and “Wickedly funny” (Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald), SHREK is ogre-sized adventure you’ll want to see again!

Really enjoyed watching this movie. Was a movie we have watched over and over again? Definitely funny and entertaining.
I loved this movie. I took my kids to watch this when it first
came out and we watched the second part as well . i now have both DVD’s
and usually watch it from time to time.
A movie that has been watched over and over again. Best family movie
that i would recommend any family to watch. Lots of laughs laughs and
more laughs.
A romantic commady that never let’s you stop laughing. A clean and
wholesome film for the whole family. It’s one of the best Films I’ve
ever seen. I HIGHLY recommend that you see this with your family.
A classic. One of the few kids movies I (as an adult) can watch over
and over again., partly because of the irony shamelessly splashed
throughout that is absolutely lost on our littlies.
Shame Shrek
says “shut up donkey” as these are bad words in our house, but it makes
my children laugh each time they hear them. One of the things that
makes great kids movies is a moral message and this one is don’t judge a
book by it’s cover and also that true friends stick by you through
thick and thin. Lovable, watchable feel good movie time and again.
First time there is not handsome or beautiful prince or princess. My
kids just love Shrek and like to burp like him. My younger son has a
big Shrek talking toy and loves to cuddle him to bed. This movie is
fun, great graphics and can be watched again and again.
OK – who can resist the sexy scottish accent and the swamp humour?!
Our whole family loves these movies, and we can never wait until the next one comes out.
Our middle child, Liam, does a mean imitation of the Shrek accent – he has us all in stitches.
I can lay a small claim to fame here – for many years I worked with the Driecotr Andrew Adamson’s Dad.
These movies are absolute classics – our whole family could watch them over and over again and never get sick of them!
PS
and isn’t there a lovely moral there in terms of not judging people by
their appearances – both Shrek and Fiona have hearts of gold, even
though they look unusual.
As we frequently tell our chidlren – “Everyone is different, and that’s OK” (which sounds great in a Shrek accent by the way!)
