When Shrek was first released it was a revelation. An all-CGI animated movie, it was the first that really gave adults just as many laughs as it gave the kids - OK, Toy Story was enjoyed by adults, but it didn't have any tongue-in-cheek jokes that only adults would get. It's essentially a fairy tale, but manages to pack in tons of little in-jokes and references to classic Disney cartoons, as well as references to mainstream movies.
I love it, it's better than the Shrek 2 (which was pretty good, to be fair) and much, much better than Shrek the Third (which was one too many I think).
The character Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy) is especially amusing.
