For many of us, Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey are not just characters on a screen; they bring back fond memories of our childhood and stand as icons of a beautifully rendered animation period we've come to love. Changing the animation style for Shrek 5 is akin to erasing a part of our childhood - what happened to the Shrek we grew to love?

We aren't solely driven by nostalgia, but also by quality. The original Shrek, produced by DreamWorks Animation, was a triumph in storytelling and animation style. It won the first-ever Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2002, became the highest-grossing animated film ever at that time, and sparked a passion for animation in an entire generation.

Changing Shrek’s aesthetic for the fifth movie robs future generations of experiencing that special charm. It's about saving something that was once perfect in its original format and respecting its legacy. We understand that innovation and progress are necessary in animation, however, being original should not be traded at the expense of progress.

Let's honor Shrek’s legacy - let's keep the animation we have come to love and know for Shrek 5. Sign this petition today to let DreamWorks know that we want our Shrek, Fiona, and Donkey back - just the way they were.
