In this episode, we delve into a truly groundbreaking film from 2001: Shrek. But what's so special about this movie, you might ask? Well, it's not just your run-of-the-mill animated feature. No, Shrek was a game changer for the cinema world and paved the way for a new type of storytelling. And with us to explore this fascinating topic is none other than Iona Smith, a TV Development Manager and contributor to Ghouls Magazine.
But that's not all we'll be discussing. One aspect of Shrek that deserves attention is its representation of fat characters. In a world where the media often promotes unrealistic beauty standards, it's refreshing to see a film that embraces body positivity and celebrates characters of all shapes and sizes. Iona and I will delve into how this representation was received at the time of the film's release and how it has impacted the entertainment industry in the years since.
So, join us for an insightful and thought-provoking conversation about Shrek and the importance of diverse representation in media.
