The surprise blockbuster of 2001. How different would be the american animation film industry right now if Shrek didn't exist?
>>144663901My guess that traditional 2D animation would've lasted a bit longer. Shrek 1 was a breakthrough for CGI films
>>144663901I like the first two Shrek movies but holy SHIT western animation would be so much better right now without them. Horrible influence on western animation.
For a movie released in May 2001 (meaning that all its animation was made in 1999/2000), Shrek still looks really good.
PDI was good at facial animation
>>144664056> Horrible influence on western animation.If you mean how everyone started copying that "big serious MC and his talkative, comic-relief dumbfuck companion" and "anachronistic modern pop culture references" that was not only in the West. Literally every country except Japan started doing that. Shrek's impact is worldwide scale.
