How tall is Shrek?
Shrek was originally based on a 7 ft height (although, as a cartoon, he would sometimes be larger in intimidation scenes.
At this height, Fiona would stand about 5′10 as a human and around 6′ 4″ as an Ogress.
Over time, people have associated him as taller, so more often than not, he’s drawn to an 8 ft scale – but that’d make the human Fiona almost 7 ft.
Shrek is love. Shrek is life. His true form is not quantifiable. He IS LIFE. He is the air we breathe and the Earth we walk on. He is the water we drink and the food we eat. Yet He is none of these things at the same time. Everything that was is or will be, anything you think you see, is the essence of Shrek taking form as that object. That includes you. The universe and everything within is simply an illusion made of Shrek.
That being said, the answer to your question is he is infinitely tall, but if He wants to appear to us, He can be however tall or short He wants.
How old is Shrek? Are ogre years 1:1 with human years?
Shrek has no age. Before there was even a concept of time, there was Shrek. Our holy book teaches us that time is a human construct and that the universe is a constant extension of Shrek’s holy swamp. His swamp always was, is, and ever shall be, as is He who there presides. Therefore, Shrek is ageless because his existence is eternal.
Shrek is love. Shrek is life. Praise Shrek.
Why am I attracted to Shrek?
Because it’s impossible not to find him attractive
Who wouldn’t want this masterpiece 😩😩😩
According to IMDB, Andrew Adamson stated that Shrek’s height varies from 7 feet to 8 feet, depending on who you ask. Although this supposed statement is uncited, there are two places where this is the case. This trailer for the video game Shrek Super Slam shows Shrek at a height of 7 feet 2 inches, and the Shrek 2 (video game) character bio states that he is 8 feet tall.
Slam dunk for an answer. Wrong, because we will get into the specifics of why the latter is unreliable.
In the movies and promotional images, we see and know Shrek stands about three times the height of Donkey, as you see below:
The character bio in the Shrek 2 video game states that Donkey is 5 feet 6 inches tall from hoof to shoulder. However, the height of the former Donkey (2 feet 5 inches tall) comes with problems when determining the height for Shrek.
First, if Donkey was five and a half feet tall, he should be reaching close to Shrek’s shoulders with his own shoulders, or he should be over half as tall as Shrek. Or if you multiplied that height by 3 (rounded), it would make Shrek out to be 16 feet 6 inches tall, making him about as tall as a female Giraffe. We know both of these are not correct because Donkey isn’t half as tall as Shrek nor reaching close his shoulders, and we don’t see the green ogre dwarfing people like a big green, two-legged, fat-bodied, skinny-eared giraffe. Or, if you want, a bigger version of Ang Lee’s Hulk (like you see below).
I would go over Puss n Boots, but that would be beating a dead horse (no pun intended) at that point. Sorry, Puss, but not even your big eyes will get you a spot in this post.
Another evidence for Shrek not being a towering giraffe is that he is a little taller than the shoulder height of the horse Lord Farquaad is riding.
Disregarding the fact that horses were not this big during the medieval period (which Shadiversity broke down in his video below), this horse shows that Shrek is not 16 and a half feet tall, and to think that, you would also have to think that this horse is also giraffe sized. Even for a fantasy world like this, it is just too absurd to believe that a horse would be the height of a giraffe. Going by: By assuming ogre is 8 feet tall, this horse would have a wither height of about 6 feet 11 inches, making him about as tall as Big Jake, that horse today. While horses can get that big, I already determined that the heights given in the character bio in the Shrek 2 game are not reliable, while the Shrek Super Slam commercial is more reliable. So, this would give Farquaad’s horse a much more reasonable height of 6 feet, making it a white Clydesdale, Draft, Shire, or another big breed of horse. This works even better for our and Shrek’s case because horses do not regularly get as big as Big Jake, and humans (including Farquaad’s men) also do not regularly grow 7 feet tall or taller, especially during the medieval period. However, Farquaad’s horse and the men are still really tall while remaining believable and giving us a good indication that Shrek is 7 feet, 2 inches tall.
Now it’s time to put the final nail in the coffin for determining the height of Shrek. As stated, if Donkey was five and a half feet tall and Shrek was 8 feet tall, Shrek would be twice as tall as Donkey, which is not the case. The trailer for Shrek Super Slam shows Donkey at a height of 2 feet, 5 inches tall from hoof to shoulder (scroll back up to see the video). Dividing 96 inches by 29 inches, you’ll get that Shrek is 3.3 times taller than Donkey, which would still make Shrek too tall. Divide 86 inches by 29 inches, and you get that Shrek is 2.96 times taller than Donkey, which makes perfect sense since that is how tall he is in the promotional images and the movies. This, in turn, would make Donkey a miniature donkey, which naturally gets that small, and they are from Europe, which also fits with the fantasy setting of Shrek.
So, based on the math, the onscreen appearances, and the deconstruction of the characters’ height in the Shrek 2 bio and the Shrek Super Slam trailer, Shrek’s definitive height is 7 feet 2 inches. This took longer than I expected after going through what you see in this post. I even wanted to put some effort into this instead of just writing down a simple answer. It is even surprising to see that despite Shrek standing at a height of 7 feet 2 inches, other ogres stand taller than him, such as Brogan. So, ogres are big.
How tall is Shrek?
I’ve read somewhere that Shrek is seven feet tall. Which, looking at his height relative to Donkey, sounds about right.
The average height at the Donkey’s withers is 2.6 to 5 feet, IIRC, and compared to human-height characters, a Donkey looks to be on the lower end of that scale – say, around 3 feet.
Shrek is more than twice as tall as that, so seven feet seems correct.
What is Shrek?
Shrek is love.
Shrek is life.
Shrek was the only thing that existed, even before our or any other universe. Shrek fragmented into several pieces, each becoming a different universe and everything to fill them. Shrek became everything, but he is by no means broken. It’s not that Shrek is everything; everything is Shrek.
Praise Shrek.
How did Donkey and Dragon from “Shrek” have babies?
Well, when a daddy Donkey and a mama dragon love each other very much, they do the naughty, and viola, many months or years later, atrocious interspecies half-breed monsters are born.
Why is Shrek super strong?
He is big, that is why he is strong. He has big, strong arms. He is 7 1/2 feet tall. He weighs probably 375 pounds. But in Shrek 4, he was tiny compared to the other ogres. This is when Shrek finds the secret ogre hideout. The ogres put out waffles as a trap, and the waffles tempted Donkey. Donkey licked the waffle syrup. The Donkey fell into a hole and got pulled by a rope. Shrek followed Donkey. That led Shrek to the ogre hideout. Most of those ogres were bigger than Shrek.
Is Shrek a god?
Shrek is the most powerful being in the universe, and here’s why: according to the height of a Donkey (3.5 feet on average), Shrek is four donkeys tall, meaning he is a godly 14 feet tall. Second, if any of you remember the original Despicable Shrek, you know there is a scene when Farquaad kidnaps the three baby ogres and shoots a series of heat-seeking missiles at Shrek, dodging them all. According to the speed of an average ballistic missile (1900 mph) and the size of the missile according to his ankle size, Shrek can perceive and move at such a speed that the missiles only move 9.5 miles per hour, 0.5% of their original speed. Plus, after this, Shrek punches a dragon, which is paralyzed, meaning its spine is probably shattered. Remember, a force greater than 3,000 newtons would be required to fracture the spine. That’s equal to the impact created by a 500-pound car crashing into a wall at 30 miles per hour. I rest my case.
Why didn’t Shrek and Fiona choose to stay pretty if they already knew they loved each other for who they were?
Because they are happy being ogres, they don’t care to look pretty to everyone else. All that matters is how they look at each other. Shrek thought he needed to look as he did due to the potion to impress Fiona, to be with her, but he didn’t. She met Shrek as an Ogre; she fell in love with him and married him as an Ogre.
Why did Shrek the Third fail?
According to Wikipedia, it grossed $800 million on a $160 million budget. And then DreamWorks made another sequel (Shrek Forever) that followed it. So, I think it was at least a huge commercial success.
That is all that matters by the time you are making a third installment in an animated franchise. Nobody cares about creative greatness. (Yes, yes Toy Story 3 is an exception.) These movies are generally made to make money.
The story in Shrek the Third was terrible — very boring and unoriginal. Again, this is not surprising. Animated sequels (even by Pixar) are often mediocre or terrible.
In the movie, Shrek tries telling kids to love themselves despite their physical appearance. Why did they always make fun of Lord Farquaad’s height?
Originally Answered: Does everyone know the movie Shrek? The whole movie is trying to tell kids to love themselves despite their physical appearance. Why did they always make fun of Lord Farqua’s height?
Only some people are familiar with the movie Shrek (2001), but I am among the many who are.
There has long been speculation that Lord Farquaad’s appearance was inspired by Michael Eisner, the then–CEO of The Walt Disney Company. DreamWorks co-founder and Shrek producer Jeffrey Katzenberg had worked under Eisner when Katzenberg was Chairman of Walt Disney Studios. Tensions between Katzenberg and Disney resulted in Katzenberg being forced to resign from Disney, and Katzenberg launched a lawsuit against Disney to recover the money he felt he was owed.
During the trial, Eisner gave testimony that he had once said of Kazenberg, “I hate the little midget.” This greatly hurt Katzenberg’s feelings, and the insults about Lord Farquaad’s height may have been a way for Katzenberg to get back at Eisner.
In Shrek 2, the potion turned Shrek and Fiona into humans and Donkey into a stallion. What did it turn Dragon into?
According to the directors’ commentary, from DVD: the Dragon was supposed to turn into a Pegasus.
Why do people like Shrek?
I can tell you why I think Shrek is a good character;
Deep down, he has a good heart, and he’s been rejected a lot by people due to his ‘ugly’ appearance. He’s an ogre, so people look at him from the outside without giving him a chance to be himself, showing that he’s ‘not’ what they see on the outside. He acts all hard because it’s his defense mechanism. He’s been hurt since, probably since he was a little boy. He ought to feel like ‘he’ was the problem; that’s why he so isolated himself from everyone else.
Many people can relate to this because they feel ‘ugly’ and ‘unappealing’ to the public eye. Many people are rejected beforehand and feel they’re not good enough.
Do you remember when someone felt ugly about themselves, like Princess Fiona? She says, “I’m supposed to be beautiful.” Shrek says, “But you ARE beautiful!” He made her feel better, even though he’d been through a tough ordeal alone. He showed her true love when willing to sacrifice his ‘greatness’ for her human image. She accepted him enough that they both remained ogres.
Now, ask this question again; “Why do people like Shrek?”
Does anybody think Shrek is overrated? I didn’t enjoy any Shrek movies, as engaging in the story or characters took a lot of work.
I think Shrek is overrated. I also maintain that the first movie isn’t a kid’s movie. It’s just a giant “Fuck you” to Disney. (Which, under normal circumstances, I would laud).
I might be reading much into it, but Jeffrey Katzenberg had recently been forced to resign from Disney. Katzenberg bears many of the reasons Disney had its renaissance in the 90s. This is a bit overstated and probably overstated by Katzenberg himself. Katzenberg went on to cofound Dreamworks and made an impact there. He’s the one who green-lit Shrek. And, at least to me, you can feel the hate towards Disney. Don’t get me wrong, making fun of a huge mega-corporation is great, but it feels mean-spirited and petty, not comedic.
I have no idea how the original book compares to the movie, as I have never read it. One day, I will; it’s a quick read. The rest of the series is riding on the branding of the first movie, and I never bothered with anything past Shrek 3.
I love the memes around Shrek, though, and All-Star is a certified banger by Smash Mouth; I don’t care what people say.
If you want a better version of Mike Meyer’s Scottish accent, watch “So I Married an Axe Murderer.” His one-joke character is way better than Shrek or Fat Bastard.
Why is Shrek green?
Here is something interesting to consider: For most kids, when it came to eating, what was the one food they did not like? Vegetables. What are examples of vegetables: lettuce, broccoli, spinach, cucumbers, and peas. What color do they all have in common? The color green. Why do kids hate vegetables? The taste, smell, and appearance. For the humans in the Shrek Universe, when they first encountered Shrek, sure, they did not taste him, but they were all afraid of his appearance, and because of his living quarters, his smell made many avoid his house.
Another thing to consider: What other vegetable tends to be associated with Shrrek? That’s right, onions. And if you look on Google, notice that green onions (also known as scallions) exist. Why is Shreek green? How he lives, eats, and sleeps gives him his natural color.
In Shrek, why does he say that ogres are like onions and ogres aren’t like cakes?
Because an ogre is more similar to onions than cake, everyone likes cake. It’s sweet, fluffy, and all-around amazing. Onions, on the other hand, could be better liked. They are rather harsh in flavor and are pretty nasty on their own. The harsh, ugly onion fits Shrek better than a sweet, delicate, fluffy cake.
Is Shrek love? Is Shrek life? Or is Shrek dreck?
Oh, boy.. let’s begin with this:
Is Shrek love?
In part, it is. Love is present in the film series, but not the classic love, only twisted/between different species of love, such as Ogre and human, Donkey and Dragon, etc.
Is Shrek’s life?
It is, but not in the way we are accustomed to. See, the only pleasures in an ogre’s life are two:
1. A swamp
2. Kick out strangers from their swamp
So this is still a life, indeed. Another interesting point is when Shrek becomes a father for the third time (he devoured the first two broodings). The Ogre, formerly a wrathful aberration, is now a confirmed middle-aged monster, wearing elastic pants and worn underwear. But it is as they say: c’est la vie.
Or is Shrek dreck?
Not. Shrek has a few derivative short films (Shrek’s Christmas, Pinocchio’s April Fool’s, Farquaad’s Beheading) that can be considered poor, but generally, they are fine movies for the whole family. I do recommend them.
“Superhumans, aliens, freaks, all of you have something in common: my hatred. I will help you, but only because I must save my swamp. After we stop Loki, whoever enters my domain without being invited will be separated from his soul. You have my ogre word”.
Did President Coin deserve to die in the Hunger Games?
Yes, she did. Alma Coin was a ruthless, power-hungry hag.
1. She has sent Peeta to join Katniss’ squad because she wants him to kill Katniss, who threatened Coin’s presidential ambitions if she supports a different candidate.
2, She ordered the bomb attack which killed Prim and many other medics and innocent kids from the Capitol, only because she wanted to make Capitol’s citizens think that President Snow had just murdered their children to get the support of Capitol’s citizens in addition to support she got from citizens of districts.
3. She wanted to establish a new Hunger Games and kill innocent children of prominent citizens of the Capitol.
She fully deserved to burn in hell.
Is Shrek a Jewish?
Shrek is a schrecklich mensch. He likes to scare people who come close to his home. I don’t know where he lives, but his swamp is in southern Germany. Maybe Poland, even Galitzia.
There isn’t much evidence for him being Jewish. But we cannot say otherwise. Maybe he is. Tired of anti-semitism, he retired to live in the forest.
. Maybe he’s a giant teuton threatening Jews. Who knows? The Yiddish world contains tales and stories about golems and other magical creatures.
Was Shrek made to make fun of Disney?
Yes, the Dreamworks writers used to work for Disney but left because Disney was a terrible company that mistreated its employees. Shrrek was created to poke fun and satirize the Disney classical films (and it was pretty damn hilarious lmao). Lord Farckwad was a reference to one of the managers at Disney; it’s no surprise that he was portrayed this way.
In Shrek 2, how did no one notice that the person who was supposedly Shrek in human form looked exactly like Prince Charming?
No one had seen Prince Charming before him pretending to be Shrek as a human, and they hadn’t seen the real human Shrek yet, so they had nothing else to go on and, therefore, didn’t know better. Fiona could assume that the magic potion Shrek took changed his appearance, voice, and personality. It’s a stretch, but it makes the plot work.
That’s a really good question. I guess that Charming probably wasn’t around much in Far Far Away, what with all that training he had to do to slay the dragon and rescue Fiona. When he first saw Charming, the King said something that suggests it’s been a long while since Charming was in the public eye.

In the movie, Shrek tries telling kids to love themselves despite their physical appearance. Why did they always make fun of Lord Farquaad’s height?
That is an excellent and thought-provoking question!
Farquaad’s height was a character device. It was used to define him as so insecure with what he wasn’t (tall) that he made up for it with cruelty. Farquaad is an example of how not to behave when you’re different.
So, how does that affect the Aesop?
The audience is not invited to ridicule the short dude. We’re invited to ridicule the tyrant who tries to distract from his insecurities with his cruelty and arrogance. We see what Shrek and Fiona see: a charmless, arrogant jerk seeking power over others to compensate for his self-loathing.
It’s a reaction of disrespect to make comments about his height. Yeah, it gives no one the moral high ground to take cheap shots at Farquaad for his height. Still, it keeps with the story’s tone that the protagonists are flawed and lacking self-awareness. However, after the prince looms menacing and gigantic over the Gingerbread Man, do we see Farquaad as physically deformed or emotionally horrific?
I never understood that Shrek was trying to teach kids anything. Shreek was a loner who didn’t have friends because people judged him by his appearance, and it was easier to push people away, but as it turned out, he judged people by their appearances, too. So, the moral, so to speak, was not to judge people by their appearance or that it’s not nice to have it happen to you, whatever.
What is Shrek’s real secret?
Shrek was inspired by Maurice Tillet, a Russian-born wrestler who fought largely in France during the 1940s. Maurice, like the Ogre, was considered a monster, referred to as “a ferocious abomination, not a human person, but a stone of harshness.” He was, nevertheless, a man with a big heart who was generous and clever. His appearance was due to a disorder known as acromegaly, characterized by expansion of the face, hands, and feet and generally caused by a benign tumor. He was 51 years old, surpassing the physicians’ predictions of a short life span.
Even though his origins are unknown, Shrek The Musical reveals that on his seventh birthday, Shrek was sent away by his parents by ogre tradition. (His parents also evict him from their swamp in the original book.)
Shrek’s Appearance Is Based On Real-Life Tragedy
Throughout the Shreek movies, we get constant reminders of how frightening the heroic Ogre’s physical appearance is. Supporting characters frequently point out that his looks are as far from attractive as possible, to the extent that Shrek even drinks a magic potion once to improve his appearance.
The physical features of Shrrek were
not based on fairy tale ogres, but a person from history named Maurice Tillet. As a child, Maurice was incredibly intelligent. He spoke 14 languages and was studying to become a lawyer. But then he contracted a disease which made his bones grow uncontrollably large.
Maurice used his new appearance to become the most famous wrestler of the 1940s and even used his fame to appear in several movies. Who knows what Maurice would have thought of Dreamworks using his likeness to create their famous Ogre?
Shrek depended on a genuine human named Maurice Tillet, a Russian-conceived grappler who fundamentally contended in France during the 1940s.
Like the beast, Maurice was dealt with like a beast, portrayed as “a furious monster, not a person, but rather a stone of fierceness.”
Be that as it may, he was a man with a gigantic heart, very liberal and canny.
His appearance was because of a condition called acromegaly, which is normally brought about by a harmless cancer, and side effects incorporate expansion of the face, hands, and feet.
He lived to be 51 years of age, surpassing the miscreant hopes that specialists gave him.
How tall is Shrek?

If you want to be grammatically correct, is it “geez” or “jeez”?
