You can bet that this classic hit movie will be at the very top of our list of the best Dreamworks movies. Whether you still love the movies to this day or you’re fairly sick of it, you have to admit that Shrek still remains an important part of pop culture and animated movies. The Shrek series is perfect satire, and has everything from fairytale romances to hilarious jokes to iconic quotes.
For those who live under a rock and have never heard of this absolute classic, Shrek is centered on an ogre and told in a tone of a fairytale. The ogre, named Shrek, prefers to live in isolation until one day, a group of irritating fairy tale characters invades his beloved swamp household due to the evil Lord Farquaad’s new rulings. From there, Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad to rescue a princess so he can get his privacy back.
Shrek was such a hit that Dreamworks even decided to make three more movies in the series, which include Shrek 2, Shrek the Third, and Shrek Forever After. The films have an all-star cast of voice actors and actresses which include Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and more. Also, the series recently just turned twenty years old, so of course, we should be celebrating by watching these classic movies again.
