Donkey is a character in Father of the Pride. He only appeared in the episode of the same name.
Biography[]
Donkey is from DreamWorks' Shrek franchise. He is one of Shrek's best friends. Donkey guest starred in one episode of Father of the Pride.
Personality[]
Donkey is a total chatterbox and constantly annoys everyone with his talking and singing. Regardless, he remains Shrek's best friend.
However, in the series, Donkey is a famous, arrogant, self-absorbed jerk, steaming from his life of being bullied in school and from his life of stardom and money. He is also selfish, callous, and self-centered as he refused to go to Hunter's school, despite the other children calling him names and throwing fits and instead suggested to Larry to inform his son about the upcoming Shrek the Third. Donkey was also unconcerned for his stunt double Jermece's well-being and when Jermece was injured, he told him to do it again, but more dangerous.
However, he showed a little compassion for Hunter since the teasing reminded him of the bullying he got in school as a teenager and ultimately saved the day. Of course, this is non-canon to the Shrek franchise.
Appearance[]
Donkey is gray and has a black mane. He has brown eyes.
In his youth, he wore braces.
Trivia[]
- Donkey being bullied was later used as a one-liner in Shrek the Third.
- He is the first DreamWorks character from a film to appear in a TV series. The next ones were the Penguins, Julien, Maurice, Mort, and the chimps from the Madagascar franchise, followed by the Kung Fu Panda characters.
- He stated that Shrek the Third would come out in 2006, but it was eventually released in 2007. The reason for this is unknown, though it is possible that production was delayed.
- He is the only character from another DreamWorks production to appear in the series.
