Man what a pain...

or if it displays:

Even with Google it took five minutes to dig up this picture. I had to get specific and put "Shrek's kids" in quotes.

And yet now re-reading your post I don't think the character you're talking about is one of the kids!

Well, whatever. Personification of ambition,etcetera... I'll just take your word for it.

I really don't like Shrek. I see behind the screenwriting and see a VERY alculated fairy tale designed to appeal to those with underclass ambitions and who applaud the tearing down of traditional values. The glorification of farting and mediocrity, the elimination of beauty or of speaking properly is fine for the uneducated children but for adults with a brain its pure poison.

In other words...and I will be unusually blunt... I think Shrek is a huge steaming pile of PC crap designed to make some folks rich, exploiting the lowering common denominator of the masses - and furthering pushing down that denominator.

It ranks right up there with 'Sponge Bob' in my list of 'admired animation'.
