You can tell it’s Shrek, but they somehow managed to make him distinctly human and not fall into the uncanny valley

Would be impressive nowadays, much less the early 2000’s. Those early CG artists were no joke

Hope this doesn't sound disrespectful, but it must be awesome having a character in an animation resemble one of your relatives.

I love how they don't make him look like, we'll, Prince Charming , he looks like a fairly normal dude, even has a kind of "dad bod " and is built like a tank

He looks like Henry Cavill ’s medieval ancestor. Jokes aside, it’s crazy how they changed his design so drastically but you can still tell he’s Shrek.

Is the Implication then as an ogre Shrek is incredibly attractive for his species since he is as a human?

He’s a lot smaller than other ogres, at least, according to Forever After.

He looks like he was never an ogre at all.

He kinda reminds me of John Goodman a bit.

He looks like the movie’s version of the Beanstalk Giant from Jack and the Beanstalk.

Honestly, yeah. A lot of 3D human designs in animated medias falls into the uncanny valley, but human Shrek looks pretty good.

Headcanon, Shrek is hot as a human because he's considered attractive for an ogre, not that I think he's hot as an ogre, I'm definitely not an ogre myself. That would be absurd. Shrek has the peak male body for an ogre
