Looking at this, I feel all my love and life being drained out in real time. The childhood magic is gone, goodbye World. #NotmyShrek.

I sincerely wish to astrally project myself back in time just so I can visit myself in late 2001 just to whisper in mine own ear "you will live to see Shrek raped before your eyes...."

Wouldn't Shrek and Fiona be old? He already looked like he was aging in the first few movies. I think it's because of the general style of the models. And now with his children, from what I assume, are either teenagers or grown, both him and Fiona would have visible facial aging at this point. I think that's a bigger disappointment than the fact they look like, as everyone else's saying, something you'd see from AI content farms.

He looks like he hasn't aged a day. The old style of him really complimented his age the best.

Well that's the thing, the first shrek movie came out 24 years ago, but these are kids movies. Are you going to take a kid unacquainted with shrek to watch a movie about an old character who's already lived their story? And are you going to remind the kids who grew up with shrek that they're also fucking old cynical adults now?

A cast announcement trailer for Shrek 5 was just released.
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.

The style is horrendous. How is it that they already got Shrek to look right in the new DreamWorks style, yet he comes out like this in his new film?

For comparison, this is him in Puss in Boots:

He is certainly a bit cleaned up, but he still retains the general look one would expect.

Also, rumor has it that Puss will not be in the film, apparently?

I think around the end of Last Wish's production

I think that's the thing. Shrek has gotten his Happily Ever After three times in a row, and years later it's still not over. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish was very nice way to end the franchise as it gave the exploration of much darker themes (death, age, irrelevance) to a well-loved side character and it rounded off the development of the Shrek universe with a unique art style and tone. This feels regressive.

It's just more proof that there are some things just need to stop.
