Donkey is one of the main characters from Dreamworks' 2001 computer animated film Shrek. Donkey is voiced by Eddie Murpy. (Beware of spoilers, especially below the line.) The following blurb is HOCR from the movie's offical site, www.shrek.com.
This Donkey's no jackass, he talks, sings, dances, hums, and just won't shut up. As Shreck's unlikely sidekick, it doesn't take long to see his charming and optimistic nature. He finds true friendship and a hot romance where he least expects it.
Go-between for Shrek and Princess Fiona, Donkey can be annoying, but his antics are usually amusing. Often you chant with Shrek his countless requests for Donkey's silence.
