Shrek currently dominates The Prince of Egypt 73–27
The cheeky ogre routs the reverent epic.
Who do you think should win?
The Verdict
These are the two faces of early DreamWorks — the cheeky ogre and the reverent epic — and they could hardly be further apart on movie night. Shrek is fast, funny, and built to entertain parents and kids in the same breath, from the fairy-tale send-ups to the jokes aimed clear over the little ones. The Prince of Egypt is grand and moving but serious, with real weight and a few frightening passages for young viewers. A wide result rewards the easier yes. Shrek asks nothing of the room but a laugh, while the epic asks it to sit with something much bigger, so the ogre runs away with the casual pick.
