Shrek the Third

The princesses are selfish and a bit stereotypical at first but eventually prove to be good role models since they defend themselves rather than waiting to be rescued. Fairy tale villains choose to be good. Typical high school relationships (popular kids picking on those who don't fit in, for example) are played for laughs. The importance of integrity and choosing to be yourself no matter what others think of you is shown through discussion and action.

The villains and heroes of fairy tale lore engage in face-to-face battles with sticks, swords, fists, and more. Some bullying -- one of the main teen characters is shown hanging from a clock in the auditorium of the high school; characters openly discuss "wedgies" and "swirlies." Frequent slapstick violence -- pratfalls and clumsiness leading to exaggerated destruction.

PG words and insults: "butt," "dork," "loser," "poop," "stupid," "twit." A well-timed Viking horn bleeps out the final word when a character tells another that he is "royally [bleeped]." A sign taped to a character's backside reads "I sucketh."

Fuzzy navels are ordered at a bar where characters drink out of steins and glasses. Puss proposes that he and Shrek drink mojitos. Students at Artie's high school tumble out of a smoke-filled carriage talking about frankincense and myrrh in an obvious pot reference.
