I am an avid fan of the Shrek franchise, and the animation style used in the previous four films is a major part of its charm. The unique and inviting artistry is what made Shrek distinct. I strongly believe that changing this animation style for Shrek 5 could lead to a severe degradation in the franchise's visual appeal.

Since its inception, Shrek has used a particular type of animation that brought life to our beloved characters and their world. According to data from Statista, Shrek 2, adhering to the same animation style, achieved the highest box office revenue of any animated movie in 2004. By deviating from this proven and loved aesthetic, we risk losing the charm that the franchise is known for.

Dreamworks, we respect your creative freedoms. However, we kindly ask you to consider the fans who have journeyed with Shrek, Donkey, and the rest since the beginning. Please maintain the original animation style to preserve the aesthetic we've come to love.

The integrity of Shrek's aesthetic universe depends on it - to ensure the series continues to remain as visually captivating as ever, sign this petition today.
