All Good
The disks were both clean and scratch-free and the case was pristine. I would buy from this seller again in a heartbeat.

Brimstone? ... hmph, whatever that was didn't come off no stone!
The original Shrek movie is easily the best in the series and for a variety of reasons that are pretty clear to most of the viewers. Unfortunately, the things that we can see wrong with the subsequent adventures seem not to be so apparent to the people behind the magic curtain. They seemed to focus on the slight things that might've been problematic in the first film and then magnify them to the Nth degree for the following episodes trying to propel the franchise on its faults.
The best thing about Shrek was that even a two-year old could sit and watch the movie in rapt attention without drifting away. Shrek has enough light-hearted childishness to propel it along, forcing the viewer to smile repeatedly. The fart jokes work, the tongue-in-cheek anachronistic references make sense and give the film a sense of backward-nostalgic appeal. Everything about the film from the fight scenes to the music and the gross habits of the ogre are all endearing. Mike Myers shines bright in this and comes off as a true original.
Shrek has a solid formula within the writing that doesn't take itself too serious. It also seems that it knew way back in 2001 that they were making a movie to compete with Pixar's 'Monster's, Inc', which was released around the same time. They also knew that they were targeting their audience somewhere between 3 and 13, but had hoped to make it appealing enough for adults. Well, they succeeded, because the film still stands up strong to repeated viewings and when you have a toddler, trust me, you'll be watching this movie a lot.
There's not much in the film to find fault with. All of the extras are interesting or fun and the movie is very kid friendly.

Great...
This is one of the best of 2001, plus one of the best ever. Go see it, NOAW!

Okay. Worth a watch..
It's not a bad movie. There are some funny parts, but fart jokes just don't do it for me. What in the world is so hilarious about passing gas, for crying out loud, besides it being utterly embarrassing? The animation by Pacific Data Images is first rate, although does not hold a candle in comparison to the scope, effort, and complexity that was placed in Square's "Final Fantasy". As for story, I've actually found the story in "Final Fantasy" to be more touching and more involving than the story of "Shrek". Don't get me wrong, "Shrek" has a decent story, but it's not quite as elaborate as "Final Fantasy". (In "Final Fantasy", you may have to watch the movie a second time to get it. It is hard to follow, but it introduces a level of intrigue that makes it more interesting. If you can actually understand the story clearly, then it actually feels far more powerful than what you would originally think.)

Fresh and Original
A spin on Disney princess tales. This movie is one of the best animated hits in history.

wow!!
Does this DVD have a lot of reviews or what? I never saw so many before at least not on Amazon. The movie was pretty good I guess but the second one was better. Did you know that there will be a 4th one in 2010? There will also also be a 5th and final one in 2013.

Family fun.
Shrek is a cute movie but gets annoying after watching it more than once. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, and Cameron Diaz provide the voices for Shrek, Donkey, and Princess Fiona. There are some sarcastic and lovable moments in this box-office smash! Great to watch with friends and family, too bad the sequel was less than impressive, stick with the original.
