Yeah, this is a touchy subject to the kids. The kids enjoyed the first 2 but didn't really get the third one. Shrek the third had alot of adult humor and i was proud of that because i really liked it! And then after creating the third they said they would return for the fourth and fifth.
The best part about this is that they are going to steer away from Far Far Away and focus more on Shrek's life before the swamp and most of his childhood. Really looking forward to it. Dreamworks also announced they would thereafter create a spin-off on mostly just Puss In Boots and how became and so on and so forth. We will be expecting more of the green ogre until 2010, so buckle your seat belts because if you didn't like the third one, the fourth and fifth are still coming to impress you. I think the creators don't only just aim at the children they also aim at the older teenagers and adults because everyone enjoys a story sometimes with no sex, drugs, violence. I mean it's a family movie that everybody laughs at and nobody wanted Shrek to really end at the third one. Am i right?! Yes I am!
