SHREK

Shrek is a comedy animation movie for children, it have topics about family, adventure, romance and fantasy, the movie was filmed in United states, but it is set in “Far far away” that is a kingdom where all fairy tales princess live, and the swamp where Shrek lives. Shrek (the movie) have two directors: Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, and the main actors and actresses who recorded the voices for the characters of the movie are: Mike Myers (Shrek), Eddy Murphy (Donkey) and Cameron Diaz (Princess Fiona).

The story concerns Shrek’s life, he is a green ogre who likes to live alone in his swamp, if he just saw someone or something near his house he scare him or it, he takes mud showers, and wash his teeth’s with dirt. On the other side of the story is donkey (the typical children stories donkey) who is locked in a cage by his owner who wants to sale him to a circus, so donkey achieved to escape and run trough the forest where Shrek was waking, they meet but the difference between them is that Donkey wanted to follow Shrek, but Shrek doesn’t want to be with Donkey, the only thing Shrek wanted to do was recover his swamp, so Donkey and Shrek go to a king’s palace to do it. Just were it is expected all people was afraid about Shrek´s presence so the king give him a mission, that is bring princess Fiona from a far away tower guarded by a dragon, Shrek accepted the offer and Donkey accompany him, they arrive and found princess Fiona, but it was a problem because they have to move from one place to another near dead, and have a lot of adventures during the film, at the end of the story Shrek and Fiona fall in love and Donkey also find a girlfriend who is the dragon of the tower, that result to be a girl dragon.

Shrek the movie is an excellent film, it is one of the best comedies for children and is also a parody about society and fairy tales, they show another side of the fairy tale characters, like their true personalities and different situations, it have so much argument, is not only one story, there are a lot of funny stories in one single movie, and the characters are so different one from another, there are no similarity between any character.

I recommend this movie, just go to the video store and ask for the best animation film, it is definitively a classical.
