Who Voices Donkey In Shrek? All You Need To Know + More!
Ever wondered who breathes life into the relentlessly optimistic, waffle-loving Donkey from the Shrek franchise? The answer lies in the extraordinary comedic talent of Eddie Murphy, whose voice has become synonymous with this iconic character.
Donkey, the ebullient and endlessly chatty sidekick, is as indispensable to the Shrek universe as jests are to a jester. This quadrupedal companion, with his plethoric energy and untiring zest for life, serves as the perfect foil to Shreks somber moods. He's more than just a sidekick; he's a loyal friend whose unwavering support carries Shrek through thick and thin. He is one of the tritagonists in the DreamWorks Shrek franchise, the creation of William Steig, brought to life through the vocal cords of Eddie Murphy.
