            Response to “Shrek: Parody or Form of Retaliation?”

Author’s analysis on the “Shrek” is very specific, he does a lot of research before he analyzes. Author lays out the problem between Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner who is Disney and Disney’s former chairman. Author lets the audiences know the conflict ahead of time, which really help readers understand better.

As what author tells readers, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who thinks himself redefine the animation when he worked for Michael Eisner in Disney. But he didn’t gain what he deserves there, so he forms DreamWorks himself to retaliate. DreamWorks’s Shrek, is a hit at one time, Eisner and Disney have had their worst movie season ever. In Shrek, some characters are specially designed to satirize Michael Eisner and his Disney. But what interest readers is that the Icons of Lord Farquaad’s face lines the entire kingdom, similar to Disneyland with Mickey Mouse’s head and ears, which means Shrek uses similar technology with Disney to satirize Disney. But Shrek is actually a business, all the things Jeffrey Katzenberg does are for making more money. As a business, it’s hard to judge Shrek is created more for Retaliation or it just a Parody to make money,
