Now, although it's not explicitly said in Shrek 2 nor the rest of the movies in the series, it has been widely believed and theorized that the Fairy Godmother was the one who cursed Fiona, even though she already had a deal with Harold.
One of the film series' main characters, Fiona is introduced as a beautiful princess placed under a curse that transforms her into an ogre at night. She is initially determined to break the enchantment by kissing a prince, only to meet and fall in love with Shrek, an ogre, instead.
I think Fiona's curse was brought on by FGM herself. In a bid for control of the kingdom, or rather, proxy control via her son. It's why Charming's book doesn't mention the dragon, because Dragon belongs to the Fairy Godmother!
However, within the castle is a cauldron and a cookbook titled "Knightly Treats," which may tease a fate worse than death for the knights. The theory suggests that the dragon, as part of her duty to mind Fiona, cooks some of the knights she captures and feeds them to Fiona for sustenance.
The Fairy Godmother originally made a deal with King Harold of Far Far Away to have her son Prince Charming rescue Harold's daughter Princess Fiona from the Dragon's Keep and free her from the curse which makes her turn into an ogress by night, but her plans were foiled when Shrek and Donkey rescued Fiona before ...
Fairy Godmother : I told you ogres don't live happily ever after! Fairy Godmother : Remember, happiness is just a teardrop away... Fairy Godmother : [singing] I need a hero! Fairy Godmother : Your fallen tears have come to me, so here comes my sweet remedy, I know what every princess needs, for her to live happily...
The girl's fairy godmother appeared and told her to fetch a pumpkin, which was turned into a splendid coach. She then fetched six mice from the kitchen mouse-trap, which all became horses, and three rats from the rat trap, which were turned into coachmen.
That night, Donkey stumbles into the barn and discovers Fiona's secret — she has transformed into an ogress. Fiona explains that she has been cursed to live by day as a human, by night as an ogre, and sees Lord Farquaad as her only chance for happiness because no one could ever love an ugly ogre.
Fiona fears that she will be rejected because her true self goes against the norms of the society she lives in, as she confesses to Donkey when he first encounters her in her ogre form, “I'm a princess!
With her wand, the fairy godmother turned Cinderella's old rags into a beautiful dress and gave her a pair of pretty glass slippers. The fairy godmother told Cinderella she must leave the ball before midnight.
This answer provides a very good explanation. To summarise: King Harold is The Frog Prince, he was born a frog. The Fairy Godmother gave him the Happily Ever After Potion so he could marry Lilian (Fiona's mother and the current queen)
Rapunzel was first seen at King Harold's funeral. Then, she was seen at Fiona's baby shower. When Prince Charming invaded Far Far Away with his army of villains, Rapunzel betrayed all the other princesses and brought them to him so she can be with him.
Angered, Fairy Godmother punishes Shrek and aims a blast from her wand at him, which is deflected by Harold who ultimately turns into a frog in the process and turns the Fairy Godmother into bubbles, killing her.
In Shrek the Musical, it is claimed that Fiona was imprisoned in a tower on Christmas Eve when she was 7 years old. She spent at least 16 years in that tower until Shrek rescued her. She was rescued at age 23.
The most significant aspect of Fiona's appearance is that she has red hair, which is important because Jonas sees her hair one of the first times he Sees Beyond.
She asked her lover to bring her linen threads, so she could do a rope out of them and use it to escape. Rapunzel got pregnant, and Gothel noticed this. Either that, or Rapunzel once incautiously exclaimed that the witch was much heavier, thus longer to lift, than her prince.
Fairy Godmother was soon introduced and pegged as the antagonist. All she wanted was for her son, Prince Charming, to marry Fiona so that he could be the future King of Far Far Away and the family would prevail. Little did she know, Shrek fought for his wife with a vengeance and put Fairy Godmother in her place.
The story of "Rapunzel" is based on the tragic life of Saint Barbara, who is thought to have lived in the third century. The true story of Rapunzel is thought to be about a young woman in Italy named Barbara who was so beautiful that her father locked her away in a tower so no men could get to her.
Inside the castle, Shrek tells Donkey to look for stairs so they can reach Princess Fiona. Shrek puts on some armor of a dead knight. Suddenly, the dragon breathes fire and chases after Donkey. Shrek grabs the dragon's tail, but it shakes him off, sending him flying into Princess Fiona's room and waking her up.
To protect her infant son and daughter Fiona casts a ritual to turn herself into a fairy, so she can be powerful enough to create a dark curse that will diminish the prophecy's threat by sending it to a land without magic.
Remember that Shrek has never had a friend or fallen in love before he even met Donkey or Fiona. Donkey was the first creature he met to not be afraid of him and actually wanted to be his friend. Fiona and Shrek obviously are in love, but Shrek has such low self esteem that he believes Fiona is talking about him.
Disney's "fairy godmothers" who dress up children as princesses and knights at its U.S. theme parks are now called "apprentices," a gender-neutral term which is part of its efforts to be more inclusive, the company said on Friday.
Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather are the three good fairies in Walt Disney's 1959 film Sleeping Beauty. They are characterized as Princess Aurora's fairy godmothers and guardians, who appear at baby Aurora's christening to present their gifts to her.
