Shrek 5 First Trailer Sparks Fan Backlash Over “Off-Putting” Animation Design

Word Count: 388 | Estimated Reading Time: 2 minutes

The first trailer of the fifth instalment of the animated film, Shrek, has been released by Dreamworks but a section of fans are not impressed. The 27-second trailer released on Thursday sees Mike Myers returning as the ogre alongside Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) with Zendaya set to voice the couple’s daughter Felicia.

The video clip shows Shrek and his companion Donkey (Eddie Murphy), looking into a magic mirror, asking: “Who’s the fairest of them all?” before it replies: “Shrek of course’. A series of images of the ogre pouting, dancing in a black leather bodysuit and shirtless with a ripped chest in TikTok style are then shown.

Social media reacts

As the clip gained traction, users took to social media to criticise the “off-putting” animation redesign with some claiming it was something they had feared.

“I’m not a fan of the Shrek redesign/model imho,” said one user while another added: “Please tell me I’m not the only one disturbed by the new Shrek and donkey design, they just put me off, ugly sonic type off-putting.”

A third commented: “I know times are different but Jesus Christ what is this?????”

I’m not a fan of the Shrek redesign/model imho
I appreciate the more cartoony style they are going for, but I was a really big fan of how ugly and more “realistic” the old facial proportions were
