Compare And Contrast: Shrek The Musical

To add on, the live action follows the original plot. In the live action, Tom was invited into the castle by the prince, Edward Canty (Foster). This exemplifies that the live action is better because that is a show of kindness toward his subjects that develops the character. Not to mention, the live action is also more detailed. Each action and facial expression showed a kind of emotion and the movements of each character portray that character’s personality. This shows that the live action is more appealing because its realism presents each point better. Equally important, all the important characters that were missing their storyline or just missing entirely in the Mickey Mouse version are present. The Hendon brothers have their fight, Miles becomes Edward’s protector after he switched, and John Canty beats Tom when he does any little thing wrong.

The three leads in this musical are Maxime Prissert portraying the hulking Shrek, Dylan Jackson portraying the estrange Donkey, and Maddy Mackarey portray the loving Fiona. The accents put on by every single one of these character were perfect they just lessened the projection and vocal clarity at times. They did an excellent job with vocal interpretation.

What would Shrek be without Donkey? The answer is boring, because Donkey is clearly the best part of the entire movie. With quotes like, “We’ll stay up all night swappin’ manly stories, and then in the mornin’, I’m makin’ waffles,” and “ It's amazing what you've done with such a modest budget. I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder,” how can anyone not like him? He lightens up the mood in every situation, and he even gets Shrek to give up his hoity-toity ogre ways and become friends with him. If an ogre can love him, than anyone can. Donkey brings quite a bit of humor into the movie, but so do the other characters. Princess Fiona fights Robin Hood and his entire band of bandits with her fighting skills and acts as if it was a normal thing for a princess to do. It is funny, because a girl kicking butt does not fit the time period in which this tale takes place. Dragon and Donkey falling in love is another silly plot twist thrown into the movie. They make such an odd couple, them being so different and whatnot, that it makes the viewer laugh. Even though kids and adults have different standards in humor, scenes like these never fail to make both parties

Looking at the surface of the films The Fox and the Hound and Monsters Inc, we probably would not see any similarities whatsoever. This is hardly the case once looking past the animated animals and monsters. The Fox and the Hound, which was released in 1981 by Disney, portrays a fox named Tod and a hound dog named Copper. Even though they grew up together, they are socially supposed to be enemies. They do overcome this stereotype at first as they become best friends and vow to forever. In the end of the film they stay friends, but end up living separate from each other. Each one living in the world that is socially acceptable to each animal. Similarity, Monster Inc., which was released in 2001 by Disney and

Watch out, there is a mean, green ogre coming! A character my friends say I am certainly similar to is Shrek from the movie “Shrek,” and I agree. First, Shrek and I obviously have an outstanding number of similarities. Second, both of us have really bad anger issues and can be very hostile. Last, we both love to stuff our face with some delicious sweets. As can be seen, Shrek and I are as tight as a tight rope.

However, the

The film was nominated for a number of awards, including a GLAAD Media Award for Best Picture Musical/Comedy. They may seem quite different on the surface; however, the similarities they do have in common are mainly due to the genre they share. This is shown by the use of music, production design, and film techniques.

During the opening scene of the movie, Shrek and Fiona were told that they were invited to Fiona’s parent’s palace, in the land of, Far Far away. When Shrek heard this, he rushed to a conclusion that he didn’t want to meet his In-laws. He may have felt this way as he might not feel welcome in their family. Fiona also mentioned to Shrek that her parents were going to have to give Shrek their blessing, he was confuse why he needed to be blessed, and was probably unsure if he was going to live a happy life with Fiona’s Parents. During their argument together, Shrek said to Fiona “and who said I wanted to be a part of this family anyway”. Fiona was probably startled that he said that, especially after they just got married.
