Why We Love Shrek-- Part 2: Who's a Believer?

**  Shrek won the first-ever Academy Award for Best Animated Feature.

**  The computer animation for Shrek took more than four and a half years to complete.

**  Shrek  received his own  star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in May 2021.

**  "I'm a Believer," the last song in the movie was chosen because of the line "I thought love was only true in fairy tales."

**  John Lithgow (Lord Farquaad, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy never met each other while working on the film.  They recorded their parts separately.

Personally, I thought animated movies were dumb back in 2000.  That is, until 2006's "Cars."  That one really opened my eyes as to how far aniamation had come.
