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:
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“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)
“When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.”
—Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
