Based on a kids’ book by William Steig, the movie adaptation is about a moody ogre shunned by others for his looks but meets a lovable princess and goes on a quest with a hilarious donkey. It won the hearts of the audiences with its adult humor and snazzy soundtrack. The movie was a critical and commercial hit, and Eddie Murphy’s voice performance was particularly appreciated. Even author Steig loved the movie.
