I just watched Shrek II for the first time today, and I couldn't help but think of the following when I saw certain characters:

Shrek=Kaniaz
Donkey=Techboy
Puss-in-Boots=Truthbearer

Just seemed to fit for some reason.

I also liked the part with the fairy godmother rolling around on the piano in a red dress singing "I need a hero!" Heh.
