      In my day, "Jackass" was the only way to say "ass" and it was not a "swear word" unless you kept saying it and giggling. Then, we all used "donkey" in the place of that word to ridicule people when that was an issue. You can censor language in attempts to mind control, you cannot really censor the thoughts and ideas without going draconian.

      @@JonSolo 6:50 - 7:17: Before I knew about the book's story, I thought Donkey was more like the Donkey from "Bremen Town Musicians" considering that there were other Fairy Tale Characters in the movie; heck, in the sequel, Shrek and Donkey would befriend Puss in Boots, a Cat, who BTW, sang with Donkey in the end of the film, another reference to the "Bremen Town Musicians" Story, where a Cat was one of the 4 animals that joins in on the travel to Bremen Town. Anyways, I bet they combined the Donkey from Bremen Town Musicians with the Donkey from the original Shrek story, and then presented Donkey at the scene where other famous fairy tale characters were sent to Farquaad. I mean Bremen Town Musicians was famous in the town’s namesake, which is in Germany; which the Brothers Grimm came from.
      Sidenote: 7:56: I wouldn’t be surprised if this part of the book was used in Shrek the Third, as the movie also had Shrek dreaming of children, but they were ogres instead.

I mean with a few exceptions of the Kung Fu Panda franchise, the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, which by the way are over now, and the critically praised but poor financial suceesses like Captain Underpants and Rise of the Guardians everything else the studio made are just garbage! I mean seriously, the Boss Baby was inches to be as as bad as Shark Tale. Shrek basically taught Dreamworks that in order to be succesfull, they don't need a well written story and three dimensional characters. All they had to do was to include to their movies cheap , party numbers and pop culture references

    MatPat did a film theory on why Donkey is counted as a fairytale character but he didn’t mention that there was an original storybook that inspired the movie. I had no idea that this book even existed which is why I’m glad you do these videos. I love hearing about all the fucked up stuff that inspired these stories and I learn something new in every video.
