    Fiona and Shrek have PORES. The fire is AMAZING for the time period. The animation was ahead of its time by a large margin. Look at 3D films from the same time and the animation for most of them is plastic-y and flat at the same time.

    "Shoddy animation"
    Okay, I was THERE when these movies were being made and talked about. I was also very present before that, when Toy Story first kicked off the rise of 3D animated films. From Day 1, sneak peaks from the production of Shrek were blowing our tiny little minds with its animation. Even today, it still stands up surprisingly well. Dreamworks did amazing work with fur and skin textures, realistic movements (sans motion capture!), lighting, expressions... they completely blew it out of the water. Completely. It took ages to render because the technology was less advanced and they didn't cut corners.
    You can put Shrek 2--actually, the first 2 movies--side by side with animated movies made over a decade later and it STILL impresses. Sure, maybe you can make arguments about animation quality from an animator's standpoint. But as a viewer? It's fantastic. Have you SEEN the texture of the velvet on her dress? It was 2001! Two-thousand freaking one! Bioware's pre-rendered ME: Andromeda cutscenes from 2017 couldn't even touch the realism of Shrek's expressions and movements.

      Yeah @Booty Crusader (to some degree you're right about DreamWorks in that vain, I credit you there), but hopefully that comment's not aimed at stuff like "Don Bluth Films" and "Don Bluth Productions". (Don Bluth made FOX's Anastasia). People went after it saying "Trying to be Disney". Weird response! Wanna know why it's a weird response? - Don Bluth had been a Disney employee and collaborator; for crying out loud! (And a lot of his staff were also Disney Alumni) It was thanks to him that Disney's Sleeping Beauty was a thing for example. So I agree with the sentiment but it also annoys me when you can tell people haven't done their homework before running their mouths; thinking they know what they're talking about when they don't. It's 'consistency' and 'loyalty' and 'homage' to perform any skill whether it be drawing/art/animation/illustration or writing or whatever like the place you got your training and experience; not 'copying', 'laziness' and 'wannabe-like'. That'd be my first point. The other question I'd pose is why is it a 'sin' for a Disney artist of Disney quality - clearly - to still draw and write at Disney-level when he's working on his own (at the 'helm', I guess) projects? That makes no sense. It's basically saying "Unless you're calling stuff 'Disney', you Disney guys need to turn it down a notch and wrestle below your weight-bracket - even though it'll make your film less than what it could be - so that those of us who don't have Disney-level skills ourselves don't feel bad or get upset because of our own insecurities". It both doesn't make any sense and shows just how far people's jealousy will go. I swear - some people's brains have 75% of the cells not working sometimes (that comments at people who don't do their research; not necessarily you or anybody else commenting). So yeah, that's my 2 (thousand) cents worth on that particular issue. Fun fact: And this proves that it takes 'big' individuals to 'not' get upset and jealous and envious and selfish/self-serving; even before Disney owned the rights to some of Don Bluth's personally-made stuff, his whole production team were quite happy to have Disney to play his "All Dogs Do To Heaven: The Series" (a tv show that follows All Dogs Go To Heaven 2 and precedes An All Dogs Christmas Carol) on their platforms/channels at the time it came out and Disney were quite happy to play it. So it went both ways. There was no "you can suck it" attitude from either side.

It used to be that people who dedicated themselves to the craft of voice acting, which is pretty different from regular acting, and had no celebrity status, could potentially make it into any big project. But when studios realized they could get people to come to theaters with a big name regardless of that celebrity's experience with or talent for voice acting, it became virtually impossible for actual voice actors to get the big gigs. This might not sound like much, but consider the random pop stars who get shoved into a movie who might not even care about the project and are there for the big check the studio is writing to them.

    Fun fact: the Shrek franchise lasted longer than the Confederacy. And will even longer with Shrek 5 being expected in 2022. It is a bigger part of American history so we should have more statues of Shrek everywhere and get rid of all the Confederate monuments. Thank you, that is all.
