One of the best animed movies ever
4/4 stars

Dreamworks released this movie to amazing fanfare as they took the first big step into a path of movie making that up until this point was dominated by Pixar / Disney. I couldn't get enough of this movie when it came out, and I had to buy it when the DVD hit the market. To be honest when I fist saw the posters for its release, it was coming out at the same time as the Disney release of "Recess: School's Out". Lets just say that neither of them caught my eye until I saw the Shrek trailer, and then I never saw another advertisement for "Recess" again.
Dreamworks took the concept of Pixars movies, and then made them less soft, while it still had the cartoon feel, the textures were far more rich, and the characters were more realistic looking. The soundtrack was awesome, and they pushed the limits using effects and designs that no one else had even tried to tackle. Everything from the hair /fur to water effects pushed the limits of the technology and the end results were breath taking.
