>The Ogre has fallen in love with the Princess!

Farquaad was created for the movie. He isn't in the book.

>>149489198
Well, no shit. He was a deliberate parody of Michael Eisner.

>>149489211
Fiona was also created for the movie. There is a princess at the very end of the book, but she doesn't have a name and looks nothing like Fiona

>>149489198
Manga purists have to complain every time...

>>149489245
Would.

Shrek is simply a retelling of "Beauty and the Beast", except that instead of the Beast turning into a Prince at the end, Belle turns into another Beast.

Which honestly would've been the better ending.

>the book has a talking donkey who only appears in 2 pages
>DreamWorks turns him into the co-protagonist of the movie, plus choose Eddie Murphy to voice him
Smart decision

>>149489286
It's amazing how Eddie Murphy went from the heights he did to "donkeh!"

The swamp in the book is awful compared to the swamp in the movie

>>149489344
Who the fuck cares?

>>149489344
DreamWorks gave him an awesome house

>>149489198
The book is almost completely different.
Shrek doesn't even use his firebreath.

Even before Shrek premiered in 2001, everyone knew that it was going to be aimed at older audiences. DreamWorks made it perfectly clear with their CG debut in 1998 that they wanted the teenagers/adults demographic

>>149489245
Well I mean she is a monsterwoman, which is what Fiona was.
Even in some deleted scenes from older scripts we are shown that Fiona was an ugly monster before, and she only became beautiful from a witch's potion (in the storyboards Fiona had choice between "beauty potion" and "happilyeverafter potion" and fiona chooses beauty believing she can make her own happily ever after)

Linda Hunt was originally going to be in the first movie as a character named "Dama Fortuna", but they later scrapped her

>don't tread on m-*ACK!*

>Donkey?... What are you doing?
>I would think, of all people, you would recognize a wall when you see one

PDI did a great job with the computer animation of Antz, Shrek, Shrek 2 and Madagascar. It's pretty obvious that Shark Tale wasn't made by them

>>149489694
When did they stop using Silicon Graphics workstations?

>>149489815
After the first Shrek

>>149489600
Onion Boy

>King Harold dies
>Far Far Away gets a new king
>Prince Charming is defeated
>Shrek and Fiona return to the swamp and become parents of a trio

>Shrek learns to appreciate what he has after spending a day in an alternate reality

4 might be better than 3, but you can't deny that 3 has more story progression

>>149489309
Donkey is still a height in his career and he got paid a shit load to voice him.

>>149489198
The book can be read in like five minutes. It's not sacrosanct and they definitely needed to add stuff.

>>149490065
the journey kinda sucked which meant most of the movie kinda sucked, but yeah it's definitely a significant entry regardless if you actually care about Shrek's lore

>>149489286
Kind of weird Donkey became such a prominent character but not the Witch.
