Navigating through the puzzling maze of the animation industry…
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007OK, I’ll agree, this was a more subtle SHREK movie than in the past. But if you look at it for what it is in the vein of all SHREK films, it carries the tradition well as it parodies Disney’s THE SWORD IN THE STONE and its depiction of Arthur and Merlin. If you don’t know that film though, I can see how it could be a bit of a letdown compared to the first two where SHREK is more of, well, an ogre.
More details later.
