First up is Shrek himself. He’s a grumpy, flatulent ogre who just wants to be left alone. His famous line, "Ogres are like onions," is actually about layers, not tears. He loves mud baths and scaring villagers.
Then there’s Donkey. Eddie Murphy voices this motor-mouthed equine. He talks so much that he almost gets eaten, burned, and thrown off a bridge—in the first ten minutes. His love for parfait and waffles is legendary.
Princess Fiona is the real boss. By day, she’s a beautiful princess who can roundhouse kick a guard. By night, she turns into an ogre. She eats birds raw in the woods and has the best belch in the franchise. She proves that true love means finding someone whose swamp you can tolerate.
