6. Shrek
SHREK! He lives in a swamp... he puts up signs... and he claims to be a terrifying ogre... But we still love the grumpy green guy, created by DreamWorks Animation and voiced by Mike Myers. Along with unexpected friend Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and now-wife Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz), Shrek has become a household name since his introduction in 2001. The unconventional hero has been the source of many successful TV specials and sequels, such as: Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek The Third (2007), Shrek Forever After (2010). Regardless of whether another sequel is in the works, Shrek will never be unrecognisable!
