Shrek 5 has unveiled its new cast in a brand-new teaser trailer, prompting even the Sonic Movie account to offer some design advice. In a humorous TikTok video, the Sonic Movie account shared a before-and-after comparison of Sonic's own design evolution, subtly suggesting Shrek take notes. The video highlights Sonic's transformation from his initially controversial live-action design in 2018 – criticized for its teeth, physique, small eyes, and human-like fingers – to the much-better-received redesign.

While the reaction to Shrek's new look isn't as overwhelmingly negative as Sonic's initial appearance, Sonic's playful response has entertained fans. Comments include expressions of surprise and amusement at the Sonic Movie account's unexpected advice.
Initially announced in 2016, Shrek 5 remained relatively quiet until 2023 when Chris Meledandri, CEO of Illumination, confirmed its development and hinted at a potential Donkey spin-off. Universal Pictures recently shifted Shrek 5's release date to December 23, 2026.
