This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And Shrek is Scottish compared to almost every other fairy tale ogre lol. There is no meaningful point to be made there.

The point is that there's no reason to think that this particular talking donkey character from a Grimm's story inspired Donkey in Shrek in any way.

and the donkey in the bible was only temporarily vocal in order to speak a specific message to one dude. again, no conclusion to be found here, only to point out that OP is misinformed.
