This is unnecessary, but at this point, I’m too burnt out to get mad at it. I’m much more bothered by Toy Story 5 because that series means more to me. I love Shrek 2, but I never felt much attachment to the other installments in the Shrek saga. I guess it’s good that the main actors are returning, and kids will probably like it. But it’s not needed, and longtime Shrek fans probably know that.
But what do you think? Are you excited for Shrek 5? Let us know in the comments!
