Shrek has layers

When the movie Shrek came out, I LOVED IT. It was fresh, it was new, it was different. I even loved the ear worm for Duloc that reminded me of the never ending ride through Small World.

But was it really so new? It's an animated children's feature movie with enough content that adults can enjoy (much like Looney Tunes).

It has dragons to overcome, witches, ogres/giants, a talking donkey, a short-rich-non-king fellow, wrestling, singing and dancing, onions have layers... Hey, wait a minute...

• Dragons are found in Job
• Witches (who summon ghosts) in Samuel
• Ogres/giants (The most famous is Goliath)
• There is a talking donkey
• A short-rich-non-king fellow
• Wrestling
• Singing and dancing
• Onions

Hmm... Perhaps the content wasn't new, but the arrangement sure was original!
