|Loosely based on a 1990 fairytale picture book by William Steig, the first feature-length computer animation by DreamWorks SKG stars Shrek, a socially challenged ogre who becomes an unlikely hero when he forms an alliance with a pesky, talking donkey to rescue a princess at the behest of the evil Lord Farquaad of Duloc, who hates fairytale-type beings and has exiled a host of them to Shrek's swamp. Not long after they rescue Princess Fionna, Donkey learns that she was cursed as a child to transform into an ogre herself by night and that only marriage can break the curse. Shrek does not hear this message clearly at first and thinks Fionna is calling him an "ugly beast" before he realizes she actually despises her own ogre form and stops her marriage to Farquaad, preventing him from becoming a tyrannical king and continuing to oppress fairytale beings. Although DreamWorks is liberal, the dialogue occasionally resorts to bathroom humor, and Fiona sometimes behaves like a feminist (as when she effortlessly uses martial arts against Robin Hood and his Merry Men), it is implied that most of the characters are Christians as the gingerbread man says "God Bless Us Everyone". The gospel song "I'm a Believer" at the end of the feature, and the scene where Shrek and Fiona are silently upset about being separated has the version of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. Robin Hood is a secondary antagonist, but he is at least implied to be based on the infamous revisionist version by [[Joseph Ritson]] that was made in solidarity to the [[Jacobin]]s during the French Revolution). Lord Farquaad, intended to be based on Liberal [[Disney]] CEO [[Michael Eisner]]<ref>http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2001-04-06/features/0104060008_1_lord-farquaad-dreamworks-jeffrey-Katzenberg</ref> (which adds to the whole film's existence as a reverent parody of Disney fairytale animation conventions), is likewise a lampoon of materialism because he only desires Fiona's marriage so he can officially become the King of Duloc. Finally, shortly after Farquaad meets his end at the jaws of Donkey's dragon love interest, Donkey jokes about [[Hollywood values]]: "Celebrity marriages, they never last, do they?"

|While the movie shows [[Hollywood Values]], such as sex addiction, in a negative light and is clearly anti-[[homosexual agenda]], as the main character reaches his lowest point by partaking in such acts, the film is graphic in its nature leaving one to question how conservative it really is.

|Although it has dirty humor and was made by the liberal company DreamWorks SKG, and the character Princess Fiona is depicted at times to be a feminist such as her utilizing martial arts on the Merry Men and taking them out effortlessly, it is implied that most of the characters are Christians as the gingerbread man says "God Bless Us Everyone". Also, Donkey sings a gospel song "I'm a believer", and the scene where Shrek and Fiona are silently upset about being separated has the version of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen. It also portrays Robin Hood (who is implied in the lyrics to be based on the infamous revisionist version by [[Joseph Ritson]] that was made in solidarity to the [[Jacobin]]s during the French Revolution), as an antagonist. It also features some condemnation on materialism, as the main villain, Lord Farquaad, (intended to be a parody of Liberal [[Disney]] CEO [[Michael Eisner]]<ref>http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2001-04-06/features/0104060008_1_lord-farquaad-dreamworks-jeffrey-Katzenberg</ref>) only desires Fiona's marriage so he can officially become the king of Duloc. It also has a brief anti-Hollywood values message, as shortly after Farquaad met his end at the jaws of the dragon, Donkey said "Celebrity marriages, they never last, do they?" in a joking tone.
