I took my 3 year old son to this movie and we both loved it. I didn't think Shrek 2 or 3 were very memorable but this one is much more entertaining and comparable to the original. The animation was top notch and the storyline, while maybe more adult (emotionally), was very entertaining. It was a combination of the Shrek we love and the theme of "It's a Wonderful Life." This is one I can see again and again too.
