At first, Donkey is afraid of Dragoness and wants nothing to do with her, but when he finds her depressed because she misses him, he begins to like her. It is at this keep that Donkey unwittingly meets his future mate, Dragoness - a female dragon who is infatuated with him almost immediately upon meeting him (Donkey was the only one who ever said anything nice about/to her). When Shrek defends Donkey from a pursuing group of armed guardsmen, Donkey expresses profound gratitude and takes a liking to Shrek immediately, despite the reclusive and haughty ogre's best attempts to fend him off.ĭonkey follows along enthusiastically when Shrek is forced to go on a quest to retrieve Princess Fiona from a volcanic, dragon-guarded keep for a corrupt lord. By his own oral accounts, Donkey had suffered a life of abuse and ridicule before (literally) running into Shrek, a satanically grouchy, reclusive ogre in the first film.

After the old woman is arrested, never to be seen again, Donkey finally speaks while enjoying some flying pixie dust, convincing the captain. Since Donkey refuses to talk, the captain doesn't believe that he can. The first appearance of Donkey is when an old woman tries to sell him to Lord Farquaad's guards for money. Presumably was later given to the Old woman who was his owner at the start of the first film. Not much is known about Donkey, though he mentions in Shrek 2, after being asked by Shrek to think of the saddest thing that ever happened to him, he mentions that he was sold for some magic beans and that he was pinned a tail on at a party, then the guests got drunk and started shouting Pinata, pinata, pinata. He's always looking at the bright side of everything, trying to work it out. In the "Meet the Cast of Shrek 2" segment that is featured in the Special Features part on the Shrek 2 DVD, Eddie Murphy says: "Donkey is a really positive character. He is a deeply caring and loyal friend who will stick by his best friends side and be supportive of them through thick and thin, especially Shrek. In a scene about Merlin's bonfire, Donkey's sweet tooth gets the best of him, for he sees only a fudge torte in the enchanted smoke.ĭespite his annoying traits, flightiness and occasional cowardliness, Donkey is a good-natured, golden-hearted, sweet, and euphoric character. Being a donkey, he has a sweet tooth and enjoys such foods as parfait, cake, waffles (his favorite) and "upside-down coconut souffle with mango chutney sauce", has acrophobia, colorblindness, hypochondria (fear of illness), cowardice, impatience and short attention span, is often innocent and tactless, and even a bit dim. He loves to dance, enjoys singing, idle chatter, which proves rather annoying to those around him. However, despite his childlike excitement, he is clear-minded as he does not see Shrek as a threat when he first roars at him. If you need more Shrek fun in your life (who doesn’t?) then these memes are sure to satisfy your inner ogre.

This is a series where every character can get you smiling. From humble beginnings in a dirty swamp, Shrek taught us that anyone could go through a grand royal adventure… and then wind up right back in the swamp.
