Shrek (2001)
Think about it. At one point, Shrek was a novel idea. It practically cemented Dreamworks as an animation studio after Antz and Prince of Egypt didn’t do too well at the box office. It also was honestly pretty funny, at least for the time, and it worked hard to really crush the age-old Disney tropes. What doesn’t work is the pop culture references that irrevocably date the film.
