watching this movie felt like i took Isd and my brain went on an acid trip. at no point in this movie could i have predicted what was about to come next. donkey rizzing up a DRAGON?? fiona suddenly pulling out ninja moves?? had me FLOORED. i was not expecting shrek to have a scottish accent either. i thought it was irish at first but nope. perhaps it has to do with ogres originating from scottish folklore/mythology. but i must say, donkey is the MVP of this movie. i lost my mind at the colorblind joke—paused the movie to laugh my ass out. jokes aside tho, for a movie made in 2001, this still remains relevant and has aged well, if at all. it is, in my opinion, the quintessential gen z movie. the plot, the characters and the world itself have a lot of heart to them. but damn wow this was a great and funny movie, and it was short too. it truly did feel like a fairytale in the same way The Princess Bride did. let's see how pussinboots is after the next movie.
