Fantasy children film - Shrek analysis

Shrek is a animated children's film which is a mash up of all the old bedtime stories for children rolled into one.  The time line for the film is set in medieval times so the props and sets in the film are of that era. The vehicles used in the film are horses and carriages to convey to the audience the time it is set without giving a specific date.. The film uses clear jokes that are used for older audiences so that the adults can enjoy the film along with the children. This makes a universal experience for all ages. The camera shots are predominately  close up or mid-shot to show the emotions of the characters. The soundtrack is mystical and   has been created by a orchestra to give it a magical and classic feel. Shrek being an animated film it is completely made up from special effects.  Mise en scene is completely limitless due to the film being animated . Props and settings just need to be created by the animators. This allows the creation of a medieval fantasy land easily possible to accomplish.
