Shrek is a fictional ogre character created by American author William Steig. Shrek is the protagonist of the book of the same name, a series of films by DreamWorks Animation, as well as a musical. The name "Shrek" is derived from the German word Schreck, meaning "fright" or "terror".
Conversation. In the Shrek cinematic universe (2001-present), “Donkey” is actually a nickname given to the character by Shrek (character; for film, see “Shrek (2001)”). While it is never revealed in the films, the character's full name is Donald Keyton.
Princess Fiona's last name is not specified in the Shrek movies. She does NOT have one since she is a princess even if a fictional one. She is just Princess Fiona. The reason people have last names is so that they can be differentiated by name.
In the case of the Shrek franchise, Shrek's Scottish accent was a much-needed addition to the film for character background, historical depth, and individuality.
Princess Fiona is a fictional character in DreamWorks' Shrek franchise, first appearing in the 1990 book Shrek! as the magnificent princess and subsequently in the animated film adaption of the same name as Princess Fiona.
Add that on poor Fiona's age when she was first locked up and we find out that she's somewhere around 30. So assuming she and Shrek are the same age, since that's how the musical positions things, it's safe to say that he's about 30 as well.
Fiona was cursed, so she had turned into an ogre between sunset and sunrise since she was little, but the curse was said to be broken when Fiona found true love, and their first kiss would lead her to take the form of her true love.
Dragon, is Donkey's wife from the Shrek franchise. She initially started out as an antagonist, charged with guarding Princess Fiona in her castle, but later befriends Shrek.
While Shrek and Donkey fight, Shrek calls Donkey a jackass. The word means male donkey — which Donkey is — but it's also an insult that means a stupid, annoying individual. It's unclear how Shrek intended to use the word, but it seemingly works either way.
Despite being called simply "Dragon" with a capital D throughout the series, some people misinterpret a reference to Sanford and Son as her proper name. While Donkey is fainting from the transformation potion in Shrek 2, he says, "I'm coming, Elizabeth!" which is the famous line spoken by Redd Foxx.
In the movies, Shrek compares ogres to onions as they both have layers. I think you see where this is heading… Of course we will be enjoying onions with our Family Dinner Book Club meal! Shrek eats raw onions, Shrek is like an onion, we will also eat and be like onions.
Shrek calls Donkey a stubborn jackass. Remember donkey and jackass usually refer to the same animal. A common simile is "as stubborn as a jackass" or "as stubborn as a mule".
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.
Tinker Bell is a minor character who first appeared in Shrek. She is based on the same character from J.M. Barrie's play Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. In the first film, Tinker Bell is being sold by Peter Pan to the Duloc Guards.
Shrek finds Fiona beautiful because of who she is on the inside rather than who she is on the outside. He fell in love with her personality, her wit and her ability to blow up frogs and turn them into balloons.
