Meanwhile, another fan seconded the opinion as they wrote: “Something about the animation just doesn’t scream Shrek, looks too ‘generic 2025 animation’ IMO,”

A third critic expressed: “I don’t know if this animation style is considered ‘better’ but it looks so off when compared to every other Shrek.”
