Shrek The animated feature, Shrek, was created recently by Dreamworks productions and released in May of 2001. Although the movie producers did not say that they were going to do everything right in this movie by inserting enlightened messages and changing old stereotypes, I believe, however, that it is apparent that it was their intent to do so, making this film more than a typical fairy tale. The movie makes several references to many other fairy tales in a comical fashion as in the capture and disbanding of fairy tale creatures from the city of Dulock. However, to show this is still a fairy tale, the producers also tie in some of familiar fairy tale storylines, for example, Shrek has to rescue a cursed princess that only her one true love can save.
