Question for the Shrek people: do we want this list to: 1. include actual Shrek books, as in ones written based on the movies for kids 2. include ogre romance
any and all.
Yes.
Shrek Ogre inspired reads
all of it
oh god why is there so many books that involve SHREK 😖
What can I say, the people love Shrek
I’m not sure if I’m more interested in this list or yapping about Wicker to my friends….
Both 🙂↕️ always choose both
I’m going to 100% this list.
Do it 😈 I'll start designing the badge right now.
Okay, but Dreamworks Animation: Intertextuality and Aesthetics in Shrek and Beyond actually sounds awesome. 🤣 The fact that it’s on a list with children’s books and ogre romances only makes it better.
There are so many academic papers on Shrek!! I had to make a comment with some of the ones I found 😂
It is a truth universally acknowledged that academics are all fucking nerds and love Shrek. (It’s me. Im the academic nerd.)
omg I'm honestly shocked that there are so many. I've been scrolling on my uni's database for the last 30 mins. If pb let us log journal articles, I would be a menace.
