Discussion Does Shrek work as a satire on Disney?
So we all know the story of Jeffrey Katzenberg and how he was fired from Disney; went on to found Dreamworks in an act of petty revenge against Michael Eisner, etc.
My question is: **Do you think Shrek works as a satirical attack against Disney the company and the way it adapts Fairy Tales and books into animation, or is it more narrowly aimed at certain leadership in that company?**
Like I’m not sure what the Shrek and Puss in Boots films are actually saying about Disney other than cheap potshots here and there at the general fairy tale aesthetic?
