DreamWorks Animation has repeatedly produced high-quality products. As a representative work of anti-traditional and anti-fairy tales, "Shrek" caused a sensation once it was launched and became popular all over the world. Ugly and lonely green monsters, lively donkeys nagging fear of heights, and princesses at night and day, all conquered the audience because of their unique charm.

Ugly monsters in the swamp, bathing in mud, using earwax as candles, eating weird food, and seemingly happy to live alone. Is the monster alone? We seem to be like this, he shouldn't have realized it, until a donkey broke into his life, followed by all kinds of fairy tale characters. The journey afterwards was full of danger and passion, and Shrek took the donkey on an anti-traditional road of salvation.

The princess is also anti-traditional. She knows kung fu, and because the curse will turn into a green monster at night, she is waiting for the kiss of true love to break the curse and change back to the always beautiful herself. She thought that the beauty during the day was the real self, but unexpectedly, this setting was actually very realistic. If Fiona is always beautiful, can she live with Shrek in the days to come. After all, it is a fairy tale. In order to live a happy life together, one can change a form and another way.

The film’s humor is of course the stubborn donkey, which has taken over most of my giggles.

    [a fairytale book appears]

    Shrek: [narrating] Once upon a time, there was a lovely princess. But she had an enchantment upon her of a fearful sort, which could only be broken by love's first kiss. She was locked away in a castle guarded by a terrible fire-breathing dragon. Many brave knights had attempted to free her from this dreadful prison, but none prevailed. She waited in the dragon's keep, in the highest room of the tallest tower, for her true love, and true love's first kiss.

    [tears out a page from the book and shuts it]

    Shrek: [laughs] Like THAT's ever gonna happen! What a load of...

    [flushes toilet and comes out of the outhouse]

  • Princess Fiona: Where are you going? The exit's over there!

    Shrek: [going to save Donkey] Well, I have to save my ass.

    Princess Fiona: [shocked] What kind of knight ARE you?

    Shrek: One of a kind.
