>>117831858Shrek 1 has more heart and some sincerity. Humor isn't nearly as reliant on pop culture references, characters are more likeable, Donkey isn't as annoying, Farquadd isn't nearly as hateful as the fairy godmother, not as much toilet humor and no product placement ( Farbucks, Burger Prince ) or trans jokes. 1 is just a better written, more heartfelt and cohesive film overall
