Shrek is a series of animated films. Shrek is a giant green ogre, lured out of his comfortable smelly swamp on adventures with friends Donkey and Puss, to rescue then marry the beautiful Princess Fiona. In a twist on usual Happy Ever After endings, true love's kiss permanently sets Fiona in the form of an ogre too, whereas the lovely Fairy Godmother and her son Prince Charming are villains. Beauty on the inside can be seen on the outside. Directors intended morals from beginning following Shrek's journey of growth - be true to yourself (Shrek #1), be part of a family #2, accept responsibility #3 - uplifting positive family values.
Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or characters:
“Modern tourist guides have helped raised tourist expectations. And they have provided the natives—from Kaiser Wilhelm down to the villagers of Chichacestenango—with a detailed and itemized list of what is expected of them and when. These are the up-to- date scripts for actors on the tourists’ stage.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“I am opposed to writing about the private lives of living authors and psychoanalyzing them while they are alive. Criticism is getting all mixed up with a combination of the Junior F.B.I.- men, discards from Freud and Jung and a sort of Columnist peep- hole and missing laundry list school.... Every young English professor sees gold in them dirty sheets now. Imagine what they can do with the soiled sheets of four legal beds by the same writer and you can see why their tongues are slavering.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has “never had a chance, poor devil,” you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.”
—Margot Asquith (1864–1945)
