    My 3.5 year old and I went and enjoyed it throughly. Personally, I love animated films and if you enjoyed the first two, this one won't disappoint. The graphics and motion are fantastic, good story, and lots of non-offensive potty humour. I will watch this one again. From a parents point of view, I have a few comments. There is a "lot of story" in this one. The complexity and morals went right over my child's head. My child is transfixed when watching movies, but some of the dialogue sceens may loose a little one. Her favorite part of the movie, was when a baby Shrek blurps on the Queen.There was a little too much talk about killing; Prince Charming sole purpose in life is to kill Shrek and restore his happily ever after. That sat wrong with me in the theatre but didn't seem phase my child. She was more concerned with the Frog King dying. I would recommend the movie. I can see us in the future, popping some corn and watching the DVD, once or twice ... or thirty times.

    A movie searching for its heart

    The third insallment of Shrek is once again a testament to amazing art direction and long hours spent in the animation studio. But those long hours could have been served better if the screenwriter had spent that same amount of time developing the script more fully. What the previous Shrek's had in abundance was originality, and this third installment didn't have it. But don't let this stop you from seeing this movie, original or not it is still fun to revisit these characters from Far, Far Away and there are still all the funny puns and sight gags which make the series entertaining. There's even some cute baby ogre's in there. I give it a "Go" but not a "Must Go" because you won't miss anything if you decide to wait and rent it.
