The recent teaser for Shrek 5 has provoked a wave of backlash due to significant changes in character design. Many fans, who have grown up with the original films since 2001, express disappointment over the new animation style, which appears more juvenile and cartoony. While DreamWorks may be attempting to attract a younger audience, the decision has unsettled long-time supporters. The response includes concerns that the franchise has become overly aware of its meme status, contributing to negative reactions toward the revamped design.
"Since the original film's release in 2001, the franchises' character design has remained fairly unchanged until now. Whatever the reason behind the character design revamp, the onslaught of fan backlash is certain to shock DreamWorks."
"It's hard to ignore the blaring character design changes. DreamWorks has opted for a more cartoony style, with rounded shapes and bigger eyes creating a juvenile look."
