Deluxe Shrek Adult Halloween Costume

A modern-day fairy tale, complete with cutting edge humor, Shrek is a computer-animated film for the ages. In the tradition of Disney (the recipient of a number of clever jibes throughout the movie), Dreamworks manages to create a film that adults (and not just parents) will enjoy as much as children. The comedy is clean, witty, and refreshing. The animation is mind-blowing, and the characters are as likeable as any ever created.

The story follows the life of Shrek, a green ogre with a friendly disposition who lives in a swamp during medieval times. When ever-so-short, midget nobleman Lord Farquaad banishes all local fairy-tale creatures from his land, they are forced to resettle in Shrek's swamp.

Shrek, who prefers to live in solitude, sets off, accompanied by a wisecracking mule named Donkey, to find Lord Farquaad and convince him to leave the fairy-tale characters where they belong, and leave his leave his swampland alone.

Lord Farquaad agrees to honor Shrek and Donkey's request under one condition. The odd couple must locate the beautiful Princess Fiona and bring her back to Duloc so that he can marry her (he chooses her as his bride over Snow White and Sleeping Beauty because he wants to become king).

Although Princess Fiona is held in a tower guarded by a fire-breathing dragon, the task is one Shrek and Donkey are more than capable of taking on. Their adventures on this quest, and the relationships that develop because of them are the heart and soul of the movie. I think the humor and in fact, the humanity, of Shrek make him a desirable character to emulate at Halloween

Shrek! is a picture book written and illustrated in 1990 by William Steig about a young ogre who finds the ogre of his dreams when he leaves home to see the world.

The name "Shrek" is derived from the German and Yiddish word "Schreck"/"Shreck", literally meaning "fear, terror." The book served as the basis for the popular Shrek film series over a decade after its publication.

Some Differences Between The Book And The Movie

The Academy Award-winning film Shrek is based on the book, with the characters of Shrek and Princess Fiona "evolving" from the book's characters. In addition, other completely new aspects were added to the film that do not exist in the original book, including, but not limited to:

-Incorporating characters from other fairy tales, such as Snow White and The Gingerbread Man in a parody context, as well as new original characters such as the villain, Lord Farquaad.
-Incorporating references to American pop culture.
-An ending where Fiona, a human woman, transforms into a female ogre; the original book featured a female ogre from the beginning.
-Shrek was redesigned for the movie. Most notably, in the movie he is bald, wears different clothes, and has more human-like teeth although they are a greeny-yellow colour.
-The character of Donkey is present in the book, but appears only briefly, and does not accompany Shrek on his adventures.
-The film later spawned two sequels, Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third, and the upcoming 2010 film, Shrek Forever After. For the release of the later, Shrek! was released with a collection of other stories by Steig, with a "Now a Major Motion Picture" label on the cover.

Shrek is not only visually entertaining, the movie also has given us many memorable quotes to giggle and laugh about. I have compiled a list of some of my favorites here:

Pinocchio: I'm not a puppet. I'm a real boy.
[nose grows]
Captain of Guards: Five schillings for the possessed toy. Take it away.

Donkey: You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain't never seen a donkey fly. Ha, ha.

Donkey: Wow, that was really scary and if you don't mind me saying, if that don't work, your breath will certainly get the job done, 'cause you definitely need some Tic Tacs or something 'cause your breath STINKS

Donkey: And then one time I ate some rotten berries. Man, there were some strong gases seepin' outta my butt that day!

Shrek: Well it's no wonder you don't have any friends.
The Donkey: Wow, only a true friend would be that truely hones

Donkey: Whoa. Look at that. Who'd wanna live in a place like that?
Shrek: That would be my home.
Donkey: Oh and it is LOVELY. You know, you're really quite a decorator. It's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is a NICE boulder.

[eyeing the "KEEP OUT" signs surrounding Shrek's home]
Donkey: You, uh... you don't entertain much, do you?
Shrek: I like my privacy.
Donkey: Y'know, me too. That's another thing we have in common. I hate it when you've got someone in your face, you try to give someone a hint and they won't leave, and then there's that big awkward silence...
[big awkward silence ensues]
Donkey: ... Can I stay with you?

Donkey: Can I stay with you? Please?
Shrek: Of course.
Donkey: Really?
Shrek: NO.
Donkey: Please. I don't wanna go back there. You don't know what it's like to be considered a freak... Well, maybe you do, but that's why we gotta stick together. You gotta let me stay!

Donkey: We can stay up late, swapping manly stories, and in the morning, I'm making waffles!

Lord Farquaad: [Wiping spit from hid face] I've tried to be fair to you creatures, now my patience has reached it's end! Tell me or I'll...
Gingerbread Man: NO! Not the buttons! Not my gumdrop buttons!
Lord Farquaad: Alright then! Who's hiding them?
Gingerbread Man: Ok. I'll tell you. Do you know... the muffin man?
Lord Farquaad: The muffin man?
Gingerbread Man: The muffin man.
Lord Farquaad: Yes, I know the muffin man. W-who lives on Drewery Lane?
Gingerbread Man: Well, she's married to the muffin man.
Lord Farquaad: The muffin man?
Gingerbread Man: THE MUFFIN MAN!
Lord Farquaad: She's married to the muffin man...


Shrek: Ogres are like onions.
Donkey: They stink?
Shrek: Yes. No.
Donkey: Oh, they make you cry.
Shrek: No.
Donkey: Oh, you leave em out in the sun, they get all brown, start sproutin' little white hairs.
Shrek: NO. Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers. Onions have layers. You get it? We both have layers.
[sighs]
Donkey: Oh, you both have layers. Oh. You know, not everybody like onions.

[Shrek and Donkey are on their way to rescue Fiona, Donkey sniffs the air]
Donkey: Man, you gotta warn somebody before you crack one like that. My mouth was open and everything.
Shrek: Donkey, if that was me, you'd be dead. That's brimstone... we must be getting close
Donkey: Yeah, right, brimstone, don't be talking about no brimstone. I know what I smelt and it wasn't no brimstone and it didn't come off no stone neither.

Donkey: Shrek, remember when you said that ogres have layers?
Shrek: Oh, aye?
Donkey: Well, I have a bit of a confession to make. Donkeys don't have layers. We wear our fear right there on our sleeves.
Shrek: Wait a second, donkeys don't have sleeves.
Donkey: You know what I mean.
Shrek: Oh, you can't tell me you're afraid of heights?
Donkey: No, I'm just uncomfortable about being on a rickety bridge, over a *boiling lake of lava*.

Donkey: Don't die, Shrek. And if you see any long tunnels, stay away from the light.

[Shrek repeatedly thanks the Donkey]
The Donkey: Stop it, nobody likes a kiss-ass.

Gingerbread Man: NOT MY BUTTONS. Not my gum-drop buttons
