 LOS ANGELES (AP) - Ogres as romantic heroes and princess brides. Cinderella as a neurotic clean freak. Snow White as a bossy know-it-all. Puss in Boots hacking up hairballs. Pinocchio with a leaf still growing off his wooden lie-detector nose.
These are not animation godfather Walt Disney's fairy tales.
The "Shrek" films, whose latest installment hits theaters Friday, have made blockbuster business out of subverting classic children's stories, presenting lovably goofy alter egos out of shiny knights and fair damsels and maybe bringing them a little closer to our own not-so-happily-ever-after reality.
