The TVI Take
Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson's 2001 DreamWorks feature whose structural argument, that the fairy-tale architecture Disney built was self-mythologizing rather than essential, is more pointed than the franchise's later sequels admitted. Mike Myers's Shrek and Eddie Murphy's Donkey establish a verbal-comedy register that the genre had not previously attempted at this scale.
