First ‘Shrek 5’ Trailer Sparks Controversy Among Fans
Alright, let’s talk about Shrek 5 ! DreamWorks just dropped the first trailer, and let’s just say—it’s got people talking. Not all of it is good. Fans are having strong reactions, and some are downright horrified. So, what’s going on?
First off, the trailer introduces Shrek and Fiona’s daughter, voiced by none other than Zendaya. That’s a big deal, but the way they presented it? Well, it’s got people raising their eyebrows. The teaser, which is under 30 seconds long, shows Shrek and his crew scrolling through what’s basically a medieval version of TikTok—brought to life by the magic mirror. You’ve got dancing Shrek, a shirtless Shrek, and other goofy content apparently posted by Pinocchio. Sounds funny? Not really. A lot of fans think it’s just lazy humor, and if this is what the movie is banking on for entertainment, it’s not looking great.

But the biggest debate? The animation. People are saying Shrek and Donkey just look different , and they’re not happy about it. Some argue that it’s a valid complaint—after all, the character designs have been pretty iconic since the early 2000s. But let’s be real, animation has changed a lot since Shrek 1 came out in 2001 and even since Shrek 4 in 2010. Plus, the story seems to have jumped forward in time. If Zendaya’s character is around 15 years old, it makes sense that Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey have aged a bit.
On the technical side, DreamWorks is using a new animation engine called MoonRay , which they first introduced in Puss in Boots: The Last Wish back in 2022. Naturally, that’s going to bring some visual changes. Whether that’s a good thing or not? That’s up for debate.
Now, let’s talk about how the trailer is performing. As of now, it’s not looking great. The like-to-dislike ratio on YouTube is actually negative—28K likes versus 31K dislikes. That’s not the reaction Universal Pictures was hoping for, especially for a sequel that’s been 15 years in the making.
But here’s the thing—does any of this mean Shrek 5 will flop? Probably not. The Shrek franchise is massive, and even with mixed reactions, it’s almost guaranteed to make a fortune at the box office. Whether it will deserve that success? We’ll have to wait and see.
