Why isn't this considered up there with the best Pixar?

Why isn't this considered up there with the best Pixar?

Because Pixar is prime Simpsons. Shrek is Family Guy.

It wasn't as pretty, it was just really funny

Because it isn’t 2001-2005 anymore, and because I’M IN TOO DEEP

I'm pretty sure it is

THEN I SAW HER FACE

2 > 1

Shrek has gorgeous visuals. I know it will forever be considered a meme film, but it's on par with the Disney renaissance visually.

Because Americans are only allowed to see and talk about Disney Movies

They're very different. 2 is definitely funnier and the climax (the raid on the castle) is an absolute 10/10, but there's a pleasing simplicity to the first one.

GOTTA PUT THE OLD HORSE DOWN

Pixar at its finest and funniest

Shrek>Pixar

...

make friends with kerek

Kerek because he's a big guy

lol it's never held the same regard as Toy Story, Up, Monsters Inc Inside Out or The Incredibles.

That is top tier animation. Shrek is the tier below. How to Train Your Dragon tier desu.

Because Shrek 2 was better

Honestly, its because Shrek is ann unpologetically comedic movie that didnt aim high and still got far, critics think this somehow demerits it because they are accustomed to the pretension of Pixar

Kerek has enough friends already.

Yes it literally is

Family Guy > The Simpsons
Shrek > {Pixar}\Toy Story

To elaborate, Dreamworks sets out to make a funny movie first and foremost, aesthetics, themes and writing fall lower down the rung and this is why a lot of their movies end up being vapid shit

In contrast Pixar writers take themselves too seriously, they first and foremost determine the premise and emotional subtext before polishing the aesthetic and finally delivering the jokes

C'mon man, the best Pixar films are genuinely one of the best films released in their respective years.

Shrek 1+2 were just good animated films.

As an animator, i like way way way way more Dreamworks than Pixar, in terms of action scenes, comedy and visuals

Uh, you don't get to bring friends.

Are you implying Dreamworks has better writers than Pixar?

One thing I like better about Dreamworks is that they try different styles, all Pixar movies look like they actually exist in the same universe

>He doesn't know about the Pixar theory.

Yes I do, thats why is said "actually" as in it really does look like they are in the same world even if that wasnt their intention

Anyway my point is that its kinda boring

pixar fucking sucks

It's the first film to win Best Animated Picture.

For one, it is.

Hell, it’s the only non Disney/Pixar movie to win Best Picture against another Disney/Pixar movie. Granted, there’s Spirited Away, but considering it was marketed/distributed heavily in the US by Disney too, it was a win for the mouse whether you like it or not.

1 is better plebs

Unless they make Fiona (human form) doing something like pic related it will always be shit
