Poking fun at Disney musicals when Disney musicals were at their height and having the privilege of being the first major production to really pull it off, being a 3D movie at a time where 3D animation was still a really big deal, and having a tight script.
Also OP your image is making me wonder if you could turn that into a webm and sync it up with compressed-enough audio to actually have the entirety of shrek that you could post in a single image.

Multigenerational appeal.
Also, it was a pretty strong fairytale in its own right. Shrek may have been 'subversive' but the story and the arcs are very classical and heroic

People were posting the entire Emoji Movie compressed on Discord a few years ago
Nathan Wood
Someone did that with AV1 and Opus. It's 8MB.

Deconstruction of disney films. becoming a meme after that greetext become famous and ruined the legacy of the movie. I blame reddit.

It's a genuinely great movie that anyone can enjoy. And it was completely different from other movies aimed at families. So everyone set out to copy it.

It did something novel in a relatively new medium with good execution then continued to improve with the sequel. Just imagine, if Shrek the Third didn’t shit the bed so thoroughly it might have been even bigger of a thing.

Desu I really don't get how people prefer 2 to the original. It's good but I think it's a bit of a step down, relies a bit too much on pop culture IMO.
Aiden Hughes
How the fuck did you fit the ENTIRE MOVIE in that gif???
Easton Gray
Imagine if Shrek was lost media and this gif was the only proof it ever existed.

Sure, it’s more pop culture heavy but it also had better antagonists that acted as a better foil to Shrek thematically and the jokes were generally more funny. The KNIGHTS scene for instance has so many joke layers that it only gets funnier when you get older and actually understand the references like the “White Bronco” thing.

I've seen quite a few movies on Discord that way. I use to have all 3 Shrek movies, Emoji movie, Spongebob movie, and bunch of random episodes of TV shows compressed down to less than 1 mb. The shows that is, movies were a few mbs each.
William Reyes
It's one of the best animated films ever. Period

Hard disagree, Farquaad was an absolutely perfect foil for someone like Shrek.

The second movie has a nonsensical story and stupid comedy. It also looks ugly as hell
