The movie Shrek is a comedy that enters you into a world of fairytale characters, animals and royalty. A gist of realistic fiction, romance and fables. 

One gets a little bit of everything from watching this movie, especially Gen Z. The film begins to play and one remembers their first time playing it on a vhs player, Blu ray or if you’re old enough even watching it in the movie theaters. This brings the feelings of warmth and happiness. 

A vivid memory that stems from watching this film is the experience of watching it with family and friends. The song “Somebody Once Told Me” is a classic, whenever it is played the world knows where it’s from.
