Shrek (2001)

The film's dominant themes align with progressive values by strongly critiquing prejudice and societal norms, advocating for the embrace of diversity and authenticity over superficial appearances and oppressive authority.

The movie features a diverse voice cast for its non-human characters and explores themes of acceptance for the 'other' by subverting traditional fairy tale narratives. While it critiques prejudice and oppressive power structures, it does not explicitly recast traditionally white human roles or portray traditional identities negatively based on their race or gender.

The film 'Shrek' does not feature any identifiable LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Brief comedic gags involving gender non-conformity (e.g., Pinocchio's underwear, the Big Bad Wolf's nightgown) are incidental and do not constitute a developed portrayal of LGBTQ+ identity or experience within the narrative.

The film features Princess Fiona, who, in her ogre form, demonstrates skilled physical combat by defeating multiple male opponents (Robin Hood's Merry Men) using martial arts techniques.
