Shrek 2 (2004)
Happily ever after never seemed so far far away when a trip to meet the in-laws turns into a hilariously twisted adventure for Shrek and Fiona. With the help of his faithful Donkey, Shrek takes on a potion-brewing Fairy Godmother, the pompous Prince Charming, and the ogre-killer, Puss In Boots.

The film's central narrative champions self-acceptance and challenges conventional beauty standards and societal expectations, portraying these as oppressive forces driven by a manipulative elite. This aligns with progressive values of embracing individuality and critiquing superficial norms.
The movie features a diverse voice cast for its array of fantastical characters. While it subverts traditional fairytale tropes and critiques superficial societal expectations, its narrative does not explicitly target or negatively portray traditional identities in a DEI context.
Shrek 2 features Doris, the Ugly Stepsister, a character often interpreted as gender non-conforming or transgender due to her masculine appearance and deep voice. While some humor derives from her unconventional looks, she is ultimately portrayed as a loyal and kind friend to the main characters. Her potential LGBTQ+ identity is present but not central, resulting in a neutral overall impact.
Princess Fiona demonstrates significant physical combat skills. She engages in close-quarters fights against multiple male opponents, using martial arts and strength to defeat them in various scenes, including a brawl at the Poison Apple Inn and the final battle at the ball.
Shrek 2 does not feature any explicitly identifiable transsexual characters or themes. The narrative focuses on established fairy tale characters and their adventures, without engaging with transsexual identity or experiences. Therefore, there is no portrayal to evaluate.
All major and legacy characters in Shrek 2 maintain their established genders from previous installments or traditional fairy tale portrayals. No character originally established as one gender is depicted as a different gender.
Shrek 2 is a direct sequel that continues the established visual canon of its characters from the first film. No characters who were canonically, historically, or widely established as one race in prior source material are portrayed as a different race in this installment.
