Discussions about Shrek are anything but ordinary, particularly following the release of the Shrek 5 teaser trailer. Few anticipated the announcement that Dune Part Two star Zendaya would be joining the esteemed cast of Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, and Eddie Murphy as Shrek’s daughter Felicia, yet here we find ourselves. Though the casting news may have taken some by surprise, it’s the Shrek 5 casting announcement trailer that has everyone talking. The video showcases a group of ogres, but as fans delve deeper into the characters, they express growing displeasure over the radical redesigns.
It’s been a while since we last saw Shrek, with fans eagerly waiting since “Shrek Forever After” was released in 2010. Although we caught a sneak peek of their new appearances after “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish,” it appears the traditional design of these characters will be maintained. However, some speculated that DreamWork’s “Puss in Boots” movie might serve as inspiration for the upcoming Shrek series installment. Yet, here we are. As the trailer reveals, the revamped looks of Shrek, Fiona, Donkey, and Pinocchio are quite distinct from their original designs, which many find somewhat disconcerting given how deeply engrained those classic character designs are in our minds. From Shrek’s perspective, this change seems very far removed from the original designs.
It didn’t take much time for social media users to grab hold of this teaser, and many expressed their disapproval of the redesigns. A Reddit user on r/movies questioned, “Why does Shrek seem so… spotless? I don’t know, it just doesn’t feel right.” This observation sparked some expected comments, considering that the last Shrek movie was released 15 years ago and computer animation technology has progressed significantly since then. Although we can only speculate as to the reason for this change, it does raise a question about why this redesign doesn’t align with the style of Puss in Boots.
A different user pointed out that the animation style appears to closely mimic a well-known animation studio’s style. They expressed that while they don’t find the style problematic, it seems incongruous with the Shrek franchise, as it lacks the distinctive roughness that defined its aesthetic appeal. In other words, some people believe the characters look overly Disney-like. Others have commented that the new appearance is excessively cartoonish and lacking in texture compared to Shrek’s previous style.
Reddit user DeoGame expressed skepticism by asking, “Given that they were gifted a flawless evolution of their art style in ‘Last Wish’, why did they alter it so significantly?” Another user suggested that perhaps the animation style didn’t align with the Shrek films, given they aren’t known for artistic flair, but the design seems eerily similar.
At ComicBook, we’ve noticed that it’s the changes in the character’s eyes that seem to be causing the dislike. We aren’t certain if these alterations will eventually grow on us, but we can approach with a degree of cautious optimism since the movie isn’t set to hit theaters until December 23, 2026. For now, we can just cross our fingers and hope that the animation will help us overlook the updated Shrek design.
