20 Upcoming Movies That Have Made ONE Big Mistake

20. The New Animation Style - Shrek 5

Though Shrek 5 is basically guaranteed to be a big, fat box office hit, the recently released teaser trailer certainly generated quite the polarised response among fans.

A major sticking point was the film's animation style and character designs, which many felt diverged too much from the original aesthetic.

Above all else, Shrek (Mike Myers) and the rest of the beloved characters have been modernised in a more "photorealistic" style, compared to their more cartoonish appearance in the original run of movies.

This change has dominated the discourse surrounding Shrek 5 already, and while it might simply be a case of audiences needing to adjust to the contemporary look, there are many fans wishing that DreamWorks had clung true to the original style.

Puss in Boots: The Last Wish proved how a distinctive aesthetic shift could help reinvigorate a dusty IP, but in the case of Shrek 5 it's mostly just left folk weirded the hell out.
