In Rumplestiltskin's alternate universe, Donkey first meets Shrekwhen he pulled a wagon the ogre was imprisoned in, forced to sing (reminiscent of a car stereo) by the witches, who whip him to change songs. After being taken to Rumplestiltskin, Shrek escapes and takes Donkey with him, much to the latter's chagrin.
So why do Shrek and the donkey ultimately become friends? Over time, Shrek finds that the donkey has redeeming qualities as well as unsavory ones. The donkey is loyal to a fault, persistent in adversity, and doesn't give up on Shrek even though the ogre tries to push him away.
Shrek never gives an origin story for Eddie Murphy's Donkey, but a convincing fan theory suggests he originally came from Pinocchio. Shrek never gives Eddie Murphy's Donkey an origin story, but one convincing fan theory might just reveal the fast-talking donkey actually came from Pinocchio.
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.
He has no name, and has to make up one when he is asked by Donkey. At the beginning of the movie, he is reading a book, which at the end of the movie is revealed to have 'Shrek' on the cover. He used the name of the book for his own name, because he has no name.

Among the many challenges Donkey presents for Shrek is his simple attitude toward Shrek. Much to Shrek's surprise, Donkey just likes him. He's not afraid of him because he's a big green ogre. He likes him, wants to be his friend and wants to help him.
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.
No known last name has been mentioned in the Shrek movies, so he doesn't have one. I know what you're thinking, but Fiona is married to him. That is true, but even she didn't have a last name before marrying him. She was known as Princess Fiona.
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.
Donkey is indebted to Shrek for saving him from some evil knights, so even though Shrek doesn't want anything to do with him, Donkey remains by his side, loyal as a pet dog. Donkey even sleeps outside when Shrek won't let him in; luckily, Shrek pities the shivering donkey and gives him a blanket.
Shrek went to talk to Fiona one night and overheard her talking to Donkey, where she said, "Who can ever love a beast so hideous and ugly!?" Shrek was upset with Donkey for stabbing him in the back and talking to Fiona about him, but in reality, Fiona was talking about herself.
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".
Donkey: A sassy, smart-mouthed talking donkey joins Shrek on the run from Farquaad's guards. Quite the chatterbox, he is not deterred by Shrek's looks or temper and practically forces himself into Shrek's good graces. Easily frightened and pushy, Donkey is also an optimistic fellow with a lot of heart.
Shrek's Father does not appear in any of the movies, but he was possibly one of the contributing factors of Shrek's lifestyle. A good example being his treatment of Shrek, which might have played a part in causing him to be a aggressive loner in the first film.
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.
Fairy Godmother and Charming are defeated by Fiona, Shrek and their friends. Although Shrek offers to kiss Fiona so that they can remain human forever, Fiona refuses, insisting that she would rather spend forever with the ogre she fell in love with and married, and they turn back into ogres.
Dragon is largely absent from the events of Shrek 2, which Donkey attributes to her being weirdly moody. But at the end, she makes an appearance — and surprise! The reason she was moody was because she was actually pregnant.
Donkey (not known by any other name) is the second main character seen in the movie Shrek. He is seen as the overly-happy and annoying sidekick of Shrek. He appears in all the Shrek movies. He is voiced by the late Eddie Murphy.
Later in the film, when Shrek has experienced his worst nightmare—rejection by Fiona—and when he in turn has pushed Donkey away, he retreats into an outhouse. Now this symbol of solitude represents all his fears of getting close to others, and of literally shutting them out.
Donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy in the films, Mark Moseley in the video games, and Dean Edwards in Scared Shrekless) is a talking donkey, and Shrek's best friend.
Lord Farquaad first appears in the 2001 animated fantasy film Shrek as the dictatorial ruler of Duloc, which he attempts to rid of fairy-tale creatures. This sets the film's central plot in motion. He is a short man with a medieval pageboy haircut and an arrogant, temperamental, and cold demeanor.
