User blog comment:GingoFTW/Thoughts about the Shrek reboot (and Illumination)/@comment-26809861-20181108060051

I heard about the Shrek reboot too. I was like: "What the hell is Chris Meledandri thinking?" I mean I agree that there's supposed to be Shrek 5 (which was written by Michael McCullers). However, I don't think Illumination is a bad animation company, they just made some good films (except for Hop and Minions which are mediocre to me). I liked the first two films of the franchise, the third movie is okay, and Shrek Forever After is pretty good and underrated. I also liked the Puss in Boots movie. Meledandri wanted to retain the original voice actors. They wanted to reinvent the story of Shrek (possibly the first?). Overall, I also think the Shrek reboot is very unnecessary.
