The animation style for is proving to be divisive among fans. Shrek 5 will hit United States theaters in December 2026. Universal Pictures recently released a short video for the movie, which announces that Zendaya has joined the cast and will be voicing Shrek’s daughter.
Following the release of the video, a number of fans are upset with the movie’s animation style. Many Shrek fans are complaining about the look of the animation and are now asking Universal and DreamWorks to improve it before the film is released in theaters.
This notably happened before with 2020’s Sonic the Hedgehog, as Paramount modified the look of the titular hedgehog after the first trailer was released following many fan complaints.
