Page "Donkey (Shrek)" Paragraph 2

Donkey first makes his debut at a sale of animal or mythical characters from beloved fairy-tales being sold to the evil Lord Farquaad's knights.

An old woman attempts to sell Donkey, but magic pixie dust accidentally is unleashed upon him from a caged fairy, thus giving him the temporary ability to fly, he flies off saying " You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain't never seen a DONKEY fly !".

However, the spell unleashed upon Donkey then breaks and he falls to the ground, he is chased by Farquaad's knights into the woods, where he meets Shrek.

Shrek is at first reluctant to meet the talkative Donkey, who follows him around, but Shrek does not consider Donkey a friend until the end of the film.

Donkey also follows Shrek on his quest to find Princess Fiona, whom Lord Farquaad wants to make his bride.

While passing a mountain guarded by a vicious, fire-breathing dragon, Donkey tries to talk the dragon guard into allowing him and Shrek to pass and compliments the dragon, whom he discovers is a female, and the dragon is greatly pleased by Donkey's flattering and lets them pass.

Things often went roughly between Shrek and Donkey during the quest mainly due to Shrek's being reluctant about having Donkey as a forced " friend " and poor attitude, but by the end of the movie they were both very remarkable friends.

After Shrek saved Fiona from marrying Lord Farquaad and Dragon swallowed the evil fiend, Donkey sang " I'm a Believer " at Shrek and Fiona's wedding reception and takes his love, Dragon, as his wife.

At the Shrek and the Swamp Gang Karaoke Dance Party, he sings " Baby Got Back " by Sir Mixalot.
