Shrek 5’s first teaser trailer was released, and the internet had a lot to say about the characters’ new look. While the animation still feels familiar, “Shrek-heads” were quick to point out the design changes that make Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona look a little different, sparking plenty of reactions (and, of course, memes). Some compared the update to the style of recent DreamWorks films, while others joked “I don’t who this man is, but it ain’t Shrek.” Although the teaser referenced past memes, like the giant dancing Shrek on TikTok, the internet still couldn’t get over the new design. Despite the reactions, the teaser proves that Shrek is leaning into its meme legacy, embracing the internet’s obsession with the franchise. And, with the movie not dropping until 2026, there’s still time for animation changes—just as the first Sonic the HedgeHog movie made after similar animation reactions. (Mashable)
