>"That children book called Shrek! is less than 30 pages long, but it has a fun protagonist. Let's make a subversive and adult-oriented movie about him using our own lore"

>"Everyone loved the movie, so let's inmediately start working on a sequel that expands the lore and gives audiences more of what they liked, except in bigger quantities this time"

Which one do you prefer?

Smart decision

Even before Shrek premiered in 2001, everyone knew that it was likely going to be a movie aimed at older audiences. Why? Because the CGI movie by DreamWorks from 1998 already made it clear that they wanted the teenagers/adults demographic
