The "message" of Shrek is pretty iffy.

  • Looks really are important
  • Ugly green people should only be with other ugly green people.
  • Not all ugly people are bad, but bad people are definitely ugly (short being ugly, of course).

I thought the message was that ogres had layers and parfait was really delicious.

Also, donkeys talk and cats do too but with a Spanish accent

That's how I learned all cats are Spaniards.

There is also this thing called personality and Shrek was all aroud a better person.

Well there’s only one bad person in Shrek 1, so that’s not really a good sample. If we move to the sequels there’s Charming who’s good looking but also an ass.
