By his own oral accounts, Donkey had suffered a life of abuse and ridicule before (literally) running into Shrek, a grouchy, reclusive ogre in the first film. After the old woman is arrested, never to be seen again, Donkey finally speaks while enjoying some flying pixie dust, convincing the captain. Since Donkey refuses to talk, the captain doesn't believe that he can. The first appearance of Donkey is when an old woman tries to sell him to Lord Farquaad's guards for money. Presumably was later gave to the Old woman who was his owner at the start of the first film.
Not much is known about Donkey, though he mentions in Shrek 2, after being asked by Shrek to think of the saddest thing that ever happened to him, he mentions that he was sold for some magic beans and that he was pinned a tail on at a party, then the guests got drunk and started shouting Pinata, pinata, pinata. He's always looking at the bright side of everything, trying to work it out. In the "Meet the Cast of Shrek 2" segment that is featured in the Special Features part on the Shrek 2 DVD, Eddie Murphy says: "Donkey is a really positive character. In a scene about Merlin's bonfire, Donkey's sweet tooth gets the best of him, for he sees only a fudge torte in the enchanted smoke. Being a donkey, he has a sweet tooth and enjoys such foods as parfait, cake, waffles (his favorite) and "upside-down coconut souffle with mango chutney sauce", has acrophobia, colorblindness, hypochondria (fear of illness), cowardice, impatience and short attention span, is often innocent and tactless, and even a bit dim. He loves to dance, enjoys singing, idle chatter, which proves rather annoying to those around him. However, despite his childlike excitement, he is clear-minded as he does not see Shrek as a threat when he first roars at him. Donkey refers to them as his "little mutant babies".Donkey is extremely talkative. There are six Dronkeys at the end of the movie, Dragon arrives, greeting Donkey and behind her came six Dronkeys. The Dronkeys are the children of Dragon and Donkey. He is known for his hyperactive (and sometimes annoying but always endearing) demeanor, his idle chatter, and of course, his all-consuming love of waffles.Ĭonsequently, who first says Donkey in Shrek?

Donkey requests to stay with Shrek since he has no one else.Īlso, what does Donkey do in Shrek? The donkey in the movie Shrek, so aptly named ' Donkey,' is one of the most beloved computer-animated sidekicks of all of time. Shrek is at first reluctant to meet the talkative and annoying Donkey, who begins following him around.
However, the spell unleashed upon Donkey then breaks and he falls to the ground, being chased by Farquaad's knights into the woods, where he meets Shrek. He pleaded for their forgiveness, but Donkey is upset when Shrek forgives him. He says that he was hired by King Harold to kill Shrek, but he failed to do so. Shrek and Donkey go into the woods after the king had invited them for some father-son bonding with Shrek, and they meet a tabby cat named Puss in Boots.
