It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey.
This movie contains 44 potentially triggering events.
Ehhhh. In the scene where Shrek and Donkey are 'rescuing' Fiona, Donkey flirts with the dragon to distract her. He quickly becomes distressed when she returns his advances. Your mileage may vary.
While escaping the dragon with Donkey and Fiona in hand, Shrek slides down a smooth concrete structure. A gap in the structure appears, and Shrek bumps against it with his groin, making a pained expression and a groan. He recovers fairly quickly however.
Lord Farquaad is eaten by a dragon near the end of the movie. During the scene where Shrek rescues Fiona from the tower, it is heavily implied at least a few knights were cooked by dragon fire.
The Big Bad Wolf crossdresses and is predatory in the original story but the wolf isn’t explicitly trans nor predatory in the Shrek series. There is some very transphobic misrepresentation in the next two films, though.
Around the ending, Shrek and Fiona are about to kiss, but Shrek looks 'into the camera' and puts his hand over it, so that the audience doesn't see them kiss
Maybe not sexually, but I feel the princesses lord Farquaad considers marrying are objectified because he’s basically picking them out like he’s picking out something from a menu to order
