A cast announcement trailer for Shrek 5 was just released.
Jesus H. Christ, I hope this shit in the mirror is not part of the movie...
Also why they had to change the designs toward the autissimo way? Come on...

if I were to make a comparison it looks like they took notes from the ones seen in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
Yeah but Regnited designs were mostly alright.
But these... no. Just no.

with how incredibly excited i am for shrek 5s new animation and absolutely hysterical choice of humor showcased in the trailer, i anticipate with baited breath for the wacky spinoff adventures in Donkey (2029) where our favorite black comedian eddy murphy, his gaggle of animal hybrid kids (voiced by chris pratt, zendaya and seth rogan), and his sassy dragon wife (now voiced by Awkwafina) go on a crazy hilarious adventure full of slapstick humor and outdated memes, alongside addressing serious tones such as standing up for what’s right, the strength of unity, with nods to movements like black lives matter and learning to support one of his young donkey dragon kids struggling with identity issues, showing how every voice—no matter how small or loud—can make a difference.

Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona are getting their original VAs back while Shrek’s daughter seems to be voiced by Zendaya. The characters have also been slightly redesigned, if I were to make a comparison it looks like they took notes from the ones seen in the Spyro Reignited Trilogy.
Wait a minute, isn't Felicia usually shown with blue eyes?
The only other one with visible hair is Farkle, one of the boy ogres...so is Farkle trans or is this a Chris-Chan Blue Arms type of thing?

Im going to watch this. I'm going to be in pain for the entire movie. I was raised on Shrek. I literally still have the OG VHS tape. Fuck, I bought the first movie in 4K Blu Ray. This is gonna suck, but I gotta see how they massacre my boy.
 
>Character design is ugly
>Humor is too reliant of modern pop culture references
>Tiring amount of celebrity cameos
>Cringe/Gross out humor

Funny thing is people have been saying the same about the franchise since the first movie and it developed an ironic fanbase becoming the movie equivalent of the Sonic Franchise, and in recent years that ironic enjoyment eventually became sincere enjoyment of the movies.

I'm not saying the movie will be good, but the reaction I'm seeing is a return to form of how the movies were seen more than a decade ago.

At least this feels like the kinda cringe that the franchise used to market as, unless there is a trans character or a racism allegory in the movie, a lot of Dream Work comedies are a little misleading with their marketing, like the Kung Fu Panda franchise marketing itself as a Jack Black Martial Arts exploitation childrens film and all movies up to three end up being a solid action franchise for the family.
