Shrek is a Dreamworks production. It is NOT a Disney film, it is a parody of Disney. In the original Shrek film every single time someone tries to sing an original song they're either shut down, interrupted or told to stop (Shrek cannot tell Donkey enough, no singing). This musical opens up with an actually horrendous and pathetic opening where Shrek's parents send him away.
There's no All Star song when Shrek bursts out of his outhouse, nope, it's a rubbish original song. Talking of the cast, they're all terrible except for Fiona (who has a nice, creative song when she's waiting to be rescued in the tower) and Donkey, although these two actors are only mediocre. Shrek's actor is dreadful.
It gives too much screen time to bad characters, adds nothing to the Shrek universe, does not improve the original Shrek masterpiece and the new dialogue greatly slows down the pace. The humour is also far worse and juvenile.
2/10: Drags, dreadful and an insult to the original. Instead of subverting Disney musicals and traditional fairy tales it plays into them - this adaption does not understand Shrek or even good original songs. The only saving grace is a couple of the songs are watchable, but none are good.
