With the taste of the fermented crap that was Shrek the Third still on my tender tongue, a spin-off movie was on shaky ground for me. Luckily, they did two things right: 1) they didn’t base it on Donkey and 2) they organically weave a number of nursery rhymes and fairy tales with the origin story of a kickass character. Some jokes fall flat and, in typical Dreamworks fashion, a number of corny dance numbers are integrated with the subtlety of an epileptic rhino. However, as animated action comedy film, it nails the trifecta nicely. Oh, and the 3D’s immaculate.
