>"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?

He's certainly different in the book

>"Did you notice that talking donkey who appears in only 2 pages? Let's make him the co-protagonist of the movie and have him voiced by Eddie Murphy"
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
