The enthusiasm is further buoyed by Eddie Murphy saying that “If (DreamWorks) ever came with another Shrek, I’d do it in two seconds,” said Murphy following the success of the Puss in Boots spin-off, The Last Wish.
Speaking about his beloved character Murphy said “I love Donkey.”
“They did Puss In Boots movies. I was like, they should have done a Donkey movie.”
“Donkey is funnier than Puss in Boots.” “I mean, I love Puss in Boots, but he ain’t funny as the Donkey.”
