      In my day, "Jackass" was the only way to say "ass" and it was not a "swear word" unless you kept saying it and giggling. Then, we all used "donkey" in the place of that word to ridicule people when that was an issue. You can censor language in attempts to mind control, you cannot really censor the thoughts and ideas without going draconian.

I mean with a few exceptions of the Kung Fu Panda franchise, the How to Train Your Dragon franchise, which by the way are over now, and the critically praised but poor financial suceesses like Captain Underpants and Rise of the Guardians everything else the studio made are just garbage! I mean seriously, the Boss Baby was inches to be as as bad as Shark Tale. Shrek basically taught Dreamworks that in order to be succesfull, they don't need a well written story and three dimensional characters. All they had to do was to include to their movies cheap , party numbers and pop culture references

    For a long time, I didn't realize Shrek was based on a book by William Steig. If I had known, I'd forgotten. Steig was the same guy who Dr. De Soto, The Amazing Bone, Abel's Island, and Sylvester and the Magic Pebble. Most of those stories I had seen animated on those Children's Circle VHS tapes, children's entertainment tapes which used to be more readily available back in the early 90s. Steig was one of those authors and illustrators which I found very influential back in the day. I'm still impressed with Steig's art style and water colors to this day, not to mention his clever storytelling. While Steig's writing style is far different from the writing of the Shrek films, and while the Shrek films go off in their own absurd tangent beyond Steig's original intention, I appreciate both the book and film for different reasons. I recommend checking out the animated versions of Dr. De Soto and The Amazing Bone: both those renditions do a good job animating Steig's original words and artwork.
