There's been some criticism of the new look of Shrek 5. A short trailer suggests that DreamWorks has switched to a cleaner animation style, while some say the characters look more cartoony, with more rounded shapes and bigger eyes.
The change in the style of animation perhaps shouldn't be a surprise. It's been 14 years since Shrek Forever After in 2010, and the new Shrek looks to be more in line with the style of DreamWorks more recent films. But the variation isn't just because of changing trends (and the fact that DreamWorks is now part of NBCUniversal): there's a significant technical difference too (also see our guide to the best animation software).
