In general, users had a mixed reaction to the teaser. Not everyone likes the TikTok atmosphere of the video. The franchise was revered for being a classic all these years, not for fleeting trends.
«Everything in this teaser — is a terrible meme with a TikTok reference to get the alpha generation interested. I know that the main target audience now is snotty kids with iPads, not adults who grew up with movies, but it’s disappointing», — write on social media.
Although many users criticized the characters’ appearance, especially Shrek’s eyes and Fiona’s face, not all of them did. Some wrote that «the new character designs are really not that bad». Besides, this is only a teaser, so their appearance may still undergo changes.
«Shrek looks like a completely different ogre. Like Fiona who remarried or something, I hope it’s just a temporary design», — the user writes in Reddit.
Meanwhile, our favorite actors will appear in «Shrek 5» again: Mike Myers will voice Shrek, Cameron Diaz will voice Fiona, Eddie Murphy will lend his voice to Donkey once more, and Zendaya, as mentioned earlier, will voice Shrek’s daughter. It is not yet known whether «Puss in Boots» Antonio Banderas will return. He was not on the list of actors who participated in the voice acting of the teaser.
