The animated film has suffered greatly in recent years, especially that venerably classic style that Disney made so popular. The quietly allegorical, musically delightful, epically entertaining masterpieces of Disney’s hand drawn days are dead and so far the only studios that have been able to even come close to making as good of films are Pixar and Studio Ghibli in Japan. Shrek is too much of an anomaly, born of its genius stars and premise to include, especially in light of Dreamworks’ failed attempt to create anything similarly entertaining.
