**Welcome to the Shrek Information Center!**
Did you know that Shrek was originally going to be a traditional, handsome prince-like character? But, DreamWorks animator Chris Meledandri convinced the directors to make him an ogre instead! Can you imagine a Shrek without that lovable, grumpy face?
Here's a classic quote from the first movie (2001):
"I'm like an onion. I have layers. Onions have layers. Ogres are like onions. They have layers. Onions have layers. Ogres are like onions!" - Shrek

And, let's not forget the iconic "I'm a Believer" cover by Smash Mouth!
**Shrek Fun Fact:** The character of Donkey was supposed to have a much smaller role, but Eddie Murphy's voice acting and improvisational skills made him a breakout star!
Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life.
