DreamWorks' next computer generated feature, Shrek, is set to release May 2001. Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy (playing a donkey), Cameren Diaz, and Jon Lithgow in that old standby premise, a universe with a bunch of fairy tales mixed together. Interesting to see animation houses are less afraid of animating humans.

Compare Pixar's next, Monsters, Inc. Billy Crystal, John Goodman, Steve Buscemi, James Coburn, and Jennifer Tilly. Ooh, fur!
