Shrek as a franchise was created as a send-up of Disney movies at the time and thus included a number of subversions of common tropes: a mean ogre as the protagonist, a princess who embraces her curse, a villain modeled after Disney executives, and a number of irreverent jokes. In 2023, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish continued this tradition by subverting current Disney movie trends, in that the new Puss in Boots had villains who didn't bore me to fucking death.
