‘Shrek’ voted best kid’s film by adults

Shrek has been named the most loved children’s film by adults.

The Dreamworks animation about a grumpy ogre beat competition from Pirates Of The Caribbean and Finding Nemo to top the survey of 3,000 adults carried out by OnePoll.

“Shrek is a great film whether you are five or 50,” said a OnePoll spokesperson.

“It has the simple plot and colourful characters keep the children entertained, but the jokes and adult humour make sure that it also keeps the older generation happy.”

The 2001 movie, which featured the voice talents of Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy and Cameron Diaz, has spawned two successful sequels, with a third follow-up currently in development.

Disney’s Pirates Of The Caribbean, starring Johnny Depp, was ranked second, while Disney/Pixar animation Finding Nemo came in third place.

1. Shrek
2. Pirates Of The Caribbean
3. Finding Nemo
4. Toy Story
5. Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone
6. The Lion King
7. Mrs Doubtfire
8. Monsters Inc.
