![]() ![]() ![]() Through a bit of luck, Donkey is able to escape the clutches of the men and runs through the forest until he comes upon Shrek. The townspeople have gathered up these creatures, big and small, to sell to Farquaad’s men, and it is here where we first meet Donkey (Eddie Murphy), being sold-out by his human master. Throughout the rest of the forest, the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) has announced a decree calling for the banishment of all fairy tale creatures from his 'perfect' kingdom. Shrek (Mike Myers) is a private ogre, enjoying his days alone in his swamp, frightening those that trespass or wish him harm, but mostly keeping to himself and his mighty earwax. It’s quickly obvious that this is not your normal fairy tale creature. Based upon the book by William Steig, we meet the title character, a big green ogre with trumpet-like ears as he makes his way from an outhouse and takes a shower in thick mud. 'Shrek' is a simple tale with a clever hook.
