Didn’t even knew there was a shrek book, much less that he had laser-eyes. wtf the book looks better than the movie
“Original Shrek smells so bad that trees lean away from him as he goes by, and he’s so ugly that he can cook food just by glaring at it, with an eye-laser effect that looks exactly like a colored-pencil version of Superman’s heat vision. Shrek also breathes fire and blows smoke out of his ears for fun.”

If what I’ve read is true, the saddest things about the Shrek movie is that they changed what Fiona was. What I read was that she originally was some other sort of monster, not another ogre - one that Shrek thought was physically unattractive at first. The whole message about a person’s insides being what’s important loses a lot of impact when Fiona is an attractive version of Shrek’s same race/species.
Similar to OG Beauty and the Beast. Originally the Beast was kind from the start and it was all about appearance. Disney changed it so he was a fixer upper. Kinda misses the whole point.
The Beast is hotter than his human version ngl
Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
Is this a NADDPOD reference?
It’s great! I’d put it up there with other weird children’s lit like The Stinky Cheese Man and Strega Nona.
IIRC DreamWorks originally tried adapting the book directly but it didn’t really work so they kept some concepts and redid the entire story. Early designs of movie Shrek looked a lot closer to book Shrek.
didn’t really work? hahahahah that sounds epic
I once saw the Shrek book in a bookstore and paged through it. I often see that movies that are based on books have little to do with the original story, but Shrek absolutely took the crown. But where this usually is a turn to the worse, with Shrek this was exactly the other way.
