Shrek!

A horribly hideous ogre leaves his swampy home to seek adventure, crossing paths with a witch, a knight, and a dragon on his quest to find an equally ugly princess to marry.

For the kid who roots for the monster instead of the hero, Shrek turns ugly into something to celebrate rather than fix.

• Big idea: Being horrible-looking isn't a flaw to overcome — it's just who you are, and someone out there will love you exactly as you are.
• Vibes: Gleefully grotesque, swaggering, and proudly gross-out funny.

• enjoy gross, swampy humor
• like to root for the unlikely hero
• are working on accepting how they look
• respond well to a journey full of odd characters

• Story & problem-solving: Why do you think Shrek leaves his swampy home to go looking for adventure?
• Imagination: If you met a witch, a knight, and a dragon on a journey, which one would scare you most?
• Feelings & empathy: Why do you think Shrek wants to find a princess who is just as ugly as he is?
• Real-life connection: Can you think of a time someone liked you just the way you are, without wanting you to change?
• Character: What do you think makes Shrek so proud of being horrible-looking?
