EXAMPLE OF MOVIE REVIEW:

This was a pleasant surprise. I didn’t expect Shrek, Dreamworks new computer-animated feature to be this funny nor charming. It managed to be both while at the same time display good visual style and giving a little twist to your usual fairy-tale-with-a-moral.

This movie is a wry fairy tale set in the land of fairytales. Fanciful characters from famous stories and nursery rhymes inhabit large parts of the kingdom. One of these creatures is Shrek, a large green ogre given an Irish accent by Mike Myers. […]

Overall I was really impressed with the backgrounds and the character animations. Shrek and the donkey, in particular, are really well animated. I’m not sure that I like the human characters being portrayed the way they were, that is, leaning more toward realistic-looking rather than obviously cartoonish. Sometimes they looked kind of funny to me that way.
