Have you loved the Shrek movies? If you have, you’re going to love this piece of news too. We all know and love Donkey from Shrek. Voiced by the amazing, Eddie Murphy, he’s made us laugh out loud countless times. But now, brace yourselves for an exciting turn of events. Donkey might just be getting his own movie!
Is Donkey Ready to Go Solo?
Donkey’s wit and irresistible humor in the Shrek movies have surely got us rolling on the floor. We’re used to seeing him by Shrek’s side, throwing in hilarious lines. Now, it appears that DreamWorks has big plans for our favorite talking donkey. Eddie Murphy spilled the tea in a recent chat with Collider.
Murphy mentioned that the gears are churning on a new Shrek movie. But wait, there’s more! He also teased a separate movie starring you know who? Our own beloved Donkey! Exciting, right? But even as fans are buzzing with joy, there’s a bit of worry creeping in. Murphy’s sly comment from the past has raised a few eyebrows.
Once upon a time, Murphy had thrown shade at another Shrek character. He said, “Donkey is funnier than Puss in Boots. I would do another ‘Shrek’ in two seconds.” Now although Puss in Boots did great, some fans feel having Donkey, a comical sidekick, as the lead might be tricky. This fear stems from another movie that didn’t fare well.
Haunted by the Ghost of ‘Cars 2’
Remember Disney’s ‘Cars 2’? It had the adorable Lightning McQueen ride shotgun to the funny car, Mater. The result? Not the best one, I must say. It ended up with a pitiful 39% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Fans have been drawing parallels with this, and they can’t help but get a little worried.
There’s a potent fear that a solo Donkey movie could lead to a ‘Cars 2’ fiasco, especially after Murphy’s bold statement. Concerned, fans rushed to social media to voice their fears. They’re afraid that DreamWorks might repeat Disney’s mistake. But guess what? It’s not all bad news!
Looking Forward to Donkey’s Adventure
Despite the fears, lots of folks are super pumped about the possible Donkey movie. Fans are eagerly waiting to see what his solo adventure might uncover. Some are unsure, though. They worry that breaking off from the Shrek universe might tarnish the franchise’s magic.
Well, since there’s not much info out there yet, we can only imagine how it will turn out. Fans are on the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting for more news on the direction this movie might take. Fingers crossed, the movie manages to steer clear of the ‘Cars 2’ effect.
Donkey Stay True, Please
For now, we can only hope that this solo venture won’t mess with the laughs that Donkey is famous for. None of us want to see it tumble into the pit of past industry failures. So, whether you’re fretting or excited, you can always rewatch the good old Shrek movies. They’re currently streaming on Hulu.
There’s no denying the fact that if it’s about Shrek and its hilarious gang, it’s going to grab attention. As the whispers of Donkey getting his own movie spread, fans all over are holding their breath. Everyone’s hoping for the best outcome for our favorite talking donkey.
So, folks, that’s the buzz going around. Donkey from Shrek might just be in the limelight soon! Remember to stay tuned and grab your popcorn. We’ll keep you updated as this thrilling saga unfolds!
