Shrek began as an animated movie from DreamWorks Studios in 2001 based on a children’s book of the same name. It was a huge success, spawning three sequels, a spin-off, and the musical adaption reviewed here. The movie, about the eponymous ogre hired to rescue Princess Fiona by Lord Farquaad, is an irreverent take on traditional fairy tale conventions, and subverts many of the most common archetypes found in fairy tales.

However, not every fairytale has a purpose of giving us an illusion, of entertaining us, or making us believe in love. Shrek is not a typical fairytale.

Prejudice is also shown in the movie when Shrek goes to the town of Duloc and a man wearing a big head gear sees him and runs away because he is an ogre. The man thinks that Shrek will eat him so he ran away.

They are at local grocery stores, on light posts, highways, bill boards, in schools, church, neighborhoods, and even on the television. Ads are created to spark people’s interest and catch their attention.
