Take one brother grimm fairytale, then add a Chameleon and a swahsbuckling horse, and you get Tangled. Take on Ogre with an annoying accent, mix it in with lots of other Fairytales I forgot about, finally, add some sort of utopia ruled by a talking Frog, and you get the Shrek franchise.

Protagonists:

Eugine Vs Shrek

Both outcasts, both cynical, sarcastic, and abit cocky, they are two very strong characters. Eugine is sly, quick witted, eloquent, and has a charming brogue. Being a criminal, he isn't good friends with the Kingdom, and he gets mixed in with the wrong crowd(The stabbington brothers)...
