It's all done with brilliant wit and verve.Ĭolin Farrell's slick publicist Stu Shepard is left hanging on the telephone in this spare and clever thriller: there's a sniper training a rifle on him, and if he moves away from the booth he's dead. Villain of the piece is John Lithgow's Lord Farquaad who is so nasty he even tortures the Gingerbread Man. Shrek, voiced by Mike Myers, is a grumpy green ogre who just wants to be miserable in his swamp but an invasion of cartoon creatures (the three little pigs and all) leads him and trusty donkey (Eddie Murphy) into a quest to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) from a dragon. Shrek (Andrew Adamson, Vicky Jenson, 2001)ĭreamWorks' exuberant animated fairytale has a wicked sense of humour, taking the mickey out of umpteen years of (mainly Disney) animated adventures.
