I was terribly impressed by Shrek because it didn't really feel like a kids' movie to me - it was more like a CGI version of early Zucker brothers films like Airplane! and The Naked Gun. And since I'm of the firm belief that the early ZAZ movies are amongst the finest achievements in American comedy during the last forty years, that was good enough for me.

Personally, I've always felt more emphasis should be given to stop-motion animation. It's probably the broadest and most versatile form of animation out there - what other technique could cover the Quay brothers, Wallace and Gromit and Clash of the Titans. Unlike some, I don't think CGI's made this technique obsolete at all. If anything, it's made me want to see more of it.
