Shrek and Donkey looking confused in Shrek
The Big Picture Shrek is unlike other films in its genre as it uses fairytale tropes satirically, laughing at itself as it tells the story of an ogre and a princess falling in love. The 2001 film inspired an entire franchise and has continued to be popular in the decades since its release. The reason for this is clear enough, since there is nothing quite like Shrek.
Shrek PGAnimationAdventureComedy An ogre named Shrek finds his swamp invaded by banished fairy tale characters. To reclaim his peaceful solitude, Shrek strikes a deal with the diminutive tyrant Lord Farquaad to rescue Princess Fiona from a dragon-guarded castle. An unlikely friendship forms between Shrek, Fiona, and a talkative Donkey, leading to comedic adventures and lessons about true love and acceptance.
Later, the film shows Lord Farquaad watching his Magic Mirror , but the moment also reveals the darkest detail in the film: a bearskin run on his floor wearing Mama Bear's hat. The untimely demise of Mama Bear proves that Lord Farquaad not only kicked this family out of their home and locked them in cages, but he had Mama Bear killed to decorate his room.
Even Fiona's refusal to accept the ogre part of herself throughout the film shows that the non-human population is not thought of highly, yet none of these examples are as bad as murder. The subtle detail of Mama Bear's death is just another example of the fairytale creatures' struggle. Though the film doesn't go into it in depth, it doesn't need to. Shrek doesn't know Mama Bear and is not impacted by her death.
