Didn’t even knew there was a shrek book, much less that he had laser-eyes. wtf the book looks better than the movie
“Original Shrek smells so bad that trees lean away from him as he goes by, and he’s so ugly that he can cook food just by glaring at it, with an eye-laser effect that looks exactly like a colored-pencil version of Superman’s heat vision. Shrek also breathes fire and blows smoke out of his ears for fun.”
It’s great! I’d put it up there with other weird children’s lit like The Stinky Cheese Man and Strega Nona.
IIRC DreamWorks originally tried adapting the book directly but it didn’t really work so they kept some concepts and redid the entire story. Early designs of movie Shrek looked a lot closer to book Shrek.
didn’t really work? hahahahah that sounds epic
