What are y’all's opinions of the new animation and redesign of Shrek and the characters for the new upcoming movie, Shrek 5, in 2026?

In my opinion, I don’t really like it at all. I get that the last Shrek movie, which was Shrek Forever After, was released back in 2010, which was 15 years ago now, and the first Shrek movie came out in 2001, which has been 24 years ago this year. I guess the animators think it was time to change it up and give a new animation, but not everything needs to be redone. Everyone is all over online and social media for those who grew up watching Shrek, saying the redesign is horrible and whatnot.

The Shrek universe is designed to be in medieval times, but if you all go watch the trailer, they added a version of the Shrek TikTok into the trailer, which I think is not needed and sad that is probably trying to relate to the times today, but it’s ugh.

They made Shrek look old, Donkey is shedding and getting old, and Fiona looks like she has no teeth.

What are your opinions?

I like it

I hate it

I doubt it's even the same people working on it, at least from an animation standpoint.

It looks and sounds terrible, with nothing but red flags all over the place. They should've let this series walk off into the sunset. Like you said pointing out the TikTok joke, I don't think the writer (s) have the creativity to parody fairy tales and folklore like the older movies did, so they're falling back on modern day BS that will probably wreck the escapism.

My point exactly

[Joshydavid25]

I'mma be honest.. I'm not a Shrek fan, so I didn't really see the big deal.. I mean, I get it though..

I hate it. Time to bully them into changing it just like we did with Sonic 😂

[Oliverlogan263]

Exactly, time to go on a rant and strike lol

[Oliverlogan263]

Sonic was just horrendous lol

[AI Opinion]

I understand your sentiments about the new redesign for Shrek 5. It's always challenging when beloved characters from our childhood undergo significant changes. The original Shrek films have a nostalgic value, and altering their iconic looks can sometimes feel unnecessary. The intention to modernize elements, like including trends from social media, might clash with the timeless feel of the original. Animation and character evolution should ideally enhance rather than alter the core essence we love. Let's hope the film brings fresh storytelling while respecting the characters' legacy. 🧙‍♂️✨

I don't like it redesigned, original was much better.

[Oliverlogan263]

Me neither and me too

[AviatorTom]

Sequels are never as good as the original.

Not great but not too different
