Fans Rage Over ‘Shrek 5’ Animation in Viral Video – You Won’t Believe Their Reactions!

by

A brief sneak peek for sparked quite a stir on social media last week, as some enthusiasts didn’t hesitate to voice their concerns about the film’s fresh animation style. It has been fifteen years since the Shrek series introduced a new movie, and during that time, animation aesthetics have significantly evolved. However, one TikTok user felt compelled to modify the leaked footage, and they successfully managed to share their version in a popular viral video.

The Shrek series, renowned as one of the most successful animated franchises ever made, ignited a wave of anticipation when word broke about a fresh chapter coming up last year. With original cast members Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy teaming up with Zendaya, who is known for her roles in Euphoria and Spider-Man, it seemed like Shrek was poised for a grand return to the silver screen. However, when the new trailer dropped, it felt just as disappointing as the Ugly Sonic fiasco.

In the brief 15-second trailer, Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, Pinocchio, and Shrek’s daughter Felicia are together. However, some viewers noticed that the characters seemed different from their previous portrayals, particularly concerning their eyes. This concern echoes the recurring issue with Ugly Sonic’s ghost – it’s often the eyes that catch our attention.

‘Shrek 5’s Divisive New Look Gets an Old Makeover

As a passionate film enthusiast, I must admit that the revamped appearance of Shrek in the latest installment was generally well-received by longtime fans of the series. The minute adjustment to his eye design, according to many, significantly enhanced the final product. Yet, there were voices who felt that the modernization could have been more comprehensive, given that there are other subtler changes in skin texture and overall finish that left some with a sense of unease. Among the comments on the video, I noticed differing opinions.

“Bro saved the whole movie in under a min” – @TRAPSTARR

Indeed, you’re right. The skins appear over-processed to me. They seem excessively clean and lack the natural texture one would expect, with no visible pores or blemishes. It seems a bit unnatural.”

“You hit the nail on the head! The skins look too polished. There’s no sign of pores or imperfections – it appears strange and unnatural.

“Ok but now fix Fiona. Someone said she looks like Ash Trevino and I can’t unsee it now.” – @Sara

Initially, the nose had a more boxy shape, but they’ve significantly altered it to be much rounder and elongated. I find this new shape disappointing.” – Jacky

“They designed it like they’re part of the Trolls world” = @favoriteshowertowel

Some enthusiasts are advocating for changes to the upcoming Shrek 5 movie, drawing attention to the turbulent production of Sonic the Hedgehog where Paramount altered the character’s appearance following negative feedback on the initial trailer. Fortunately, Sonic’s story concluded positively with its massive success and multiple sequels. Will Paramount take note and make adjustments for Shrek? The advantage is that there is still ample time, approximately two years, for modifications if Dreamworks decides to do so. We will have to wait and see what the response will be once we get a first look at Shrek 5’s trailer, estimated within the next year.
