They have it completely wrong and always start out assuming the films are purely bad fast food withOUT seeing them with the eyes of a plain old audience who wants to be entertained.<BR/><BR/>It's a small group of artists, all of whom are very funny and talented and sharp who are the WRITER-story-artists of Shrek 2 and 3. Look in the credits and find out who they are--they never get the credit they should )except in their paychecks, probably). <BR/>Kudos to them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-24441907053909184932007-05-20T14:53:00.000-07:002007-05-20T14:53:00.000-07:00Hey just a minute.
