Hey man, if you want to think the donkey from Shrek is identical to the one from Winnie The Frickin’ Pooh, that’s fine!

What I’m saying is that there are many ways to design a cartoon donkey, and so you don’t NEED to rip off Dreamworks, except if you’re certain you will make more money that way, of course.

Its pronounced Donkey “o” Tee And it apears to have some ReCYCLED ANIMAtiONS… I watched the trailer on ibm, and the donkey does the exact same prancy thing, Donkey (from shrek) does when he turns into a horse.

They might both be modeled on the same donkey — Perry, who
I think still lives in Bol Park in Palo Alto.

Also for a couple of years when I was a kid I thought
Don Quixote was about a donkey. So, yeah.

Im assuming they also look alike because they are both donkeys and there is only so much you can do with a donkey.

Donkey Xote is a real movie from Spain. It was released in America as Donkey X. Look it up on Amazon or IMDB… you can buy it, its not a joke. Rucio (the donkey) even makes a joke in the movie about the only other talking donkey he knows hangs out with a green ogre. I think the point was to make the donkey look the same… helps sell to kids.

how different can you actually make a donkey look from another donkey. I mean really, its an animal. A donkey will look like a donkey.

The gap in the teeth is called the diastema – it’s found in quite a few mammals, the gap arises when the mammal in question has no canine teeth (like in rodents for another example).

hes from a SPANISH movie called Donkey Xote.
the movies about the tale of Don Quijote a really popular spanish novel written by Cervantes.
they look alike because some spanish animators that worked in shrek(also designers of some characters)
worked for this movie.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0419704/

so yes, it’s a real movie.

Reading the description by someone who has seen it, it seems to be a sugary kid friendly version of Don Quixote, told from the PoV of his horse and Sanchos’ donkey.

Actually, I just listened to the trailer and thought “Wow, that sounds nothing like Eddie Murphy, and nothing like Donkey’s character.” I have to say I completely disagree.

The lion in Donkey Xote totally does NOT look like Scar. Sorry, not at all.

Of course it could be different!
And of course they are meant to be quite the same – they both have antropomorphised eyes, grin, teeth, mohawk hair, the mistakes are there seemingly only to avoid legal issues.
It could be a completely different donkey spinup and still look like a donkey.
Take Felix the Cat, Garfield, Scratchy, and Puss from Shrek.
They all look like cats. None of them can be mistaken with any other.

Nicely put. And, yes people do occassioanlly ride donkeys. They were often transport for those in the middle ages who could not afford a horse. They were the dogsbody of small farms, pressed into service for all manner of jobs. They were also used as pack animals in the west in the 1800s and 1900s-particularly famous in the grand canyon (Brighty).

I actually thought the Donkey Xote was a spin off of Shrek until I saw it…

They’re really that similar…

this is a stupid one. of course they look alike. how many ways are there to anthropomorphize a donkey in CGI?

It ain’t so. Donkeys do have distinguishing features. As do cats and dogs (to the failure above you.)

This is kinda of lame…

I come from farm country and I can tell you basically all the donkeys you see here look like the same exact donkey.

You can only vary a donkey’s face so much before it just looks like a horse.

Big teeth, large jaw, high forehead… not all that unique.

He was a scholar, kept to himself and read a lot of books, went slightly mad (we would likely diagnose him with schizophrenia) and, because of the ideas he’d absorbed while reading, began to perceive himself a grand champion of the people. He saw the old and rough prostitute Aldonza, for instance, as a beautiful young woman named Dulcinea, and swore to protect her at cost of his own life. Yes, he “tilted at windmills”; in his madness he saw the world very differently.

In the end, his daughter hired someone to make him realise that he was just a crazy old man, and it broke him.

The book is ENORMOUS, and has a lot of fart jokes. I’ve only read it in English, mind.

The musical “The Man of La Mancha” is one of the best musicals evar. See if you can get the original 1965 Broadway cast with Richard Kiley and Joan Diener; totally worth it

The bit goes behind the molars, where the horse can’t grip it with its teeth – this allows the rider to use the reins to pull GENTLY on the reins on either side, putting pressure on the sides of the horse’s mouth, and guide the horse left, right, or full stop (pulling on both sides). If the horse gets the bit between its teeth and chomps down it won’t feel the rein-commands and can/will run freely despite the rider’s/driver’s wishes.

I would assume that if someone was going to bridle a donkey that the same would apply.

So… they’re remaking Don Quixote with talking animals?

WTF, humanity.

I’m sure that it’s the same donkey.
The only difference on the left pic is that his teeth are bleached and straightened, and he’s wearing Orlando Bloom/Legolas contact lenses.
Which is an average working routine for a Hollywood actor.
