I think the point of the movie Shrek is that it is supposed to be an anti-fairy tale. The story of an ogre going to save a princess and deliver her to a less-than-prince-charming is not exactly typical fairy-tale fare. The music and crudeness I think are to highlight that fact.
Good interpretation, Michael! I had never seen Shrek in that light before, but
you're right - it's an anti-fairly tale.
Shrek is one of my family's favorite movies. My kids love it.
