FILM NOTES

DreamWorks Animation released Shrek in May 2001, positioning the studio as a genuine rival to Pixar in the emerging field of computer-animated features. Directed by Andrew Adamson and Vicky Jenson, the film became a cultural landmark, winning the inaugural Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and launching one of animation's most successful franchises. Its irreverent humor and technical ambition made it a defining work of early-2000s cinema.
