This one’s a classic! When embarking upon the quest that Lord Farquaad and the people of Duloc have sent them on, Donkey and Shrek discuss the fundamental nature of ogres. This endearing moment is not only one that signifies a shift in Shrek and Donkey’s friendship, where Shrek appeals to and supports Donkey in earnest for one of the first times, but one with a Babe reference that seals the moment.
Rather than lambasting his four-legged friend for his reasonable anxiety, Shrek cleverly stalks forward towards Donkey, shimmying the bridge to and fro, thereby coaxing Donkey to successfully make it to the other side of the bridge. When Donkey spirals and cannot overcome his quaking fear, he considers not moving forward after reaching the halfway point. Shrek assures Donkey that, “for emotional support,” the duo will tackle the bridge together. One of the final things that literally and metaphorically stand between Shrek and reclaiming his swamp is his ability to get himself and the frightened donkey across a rickety wooden bridge and the lake of lava that boils beneath it. Shrek has come to save Fiona and deliver her to DreamWorks’ Napoleonic antagonist, Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). In the first Shrek film, Shrek and Donkey successfully reach the Dragon’s Keep where Fiona (Cameron Diaz) has long been locked away.
