Shrek 5 was supposed to be a nostalgic and triumphant return for one of animation’s most beloved franchises.
Instead, the DreamWorks Animation film has sparked a heated online debate over the new character designs after the release of the first trailer on June 16.
While some viewers praised the more modern animation style, a majority claimed the changes made the characters appear hyper-realistically altered, prompting a flood of commentary likening the redesigns to the results of cosmetic procedures.
