List of Shrek Characters


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:

    “Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Weigh what loss your honor may sustain
    If with too credent ear you list his songs,
    Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
    To his unmastered importunity.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
