The animal crackers are sentient cookies shaped like various circus animals, similar to the real-life treats.
Appearances[]
Shrek Forever After[]
When Shrek is caged in the alternate reality, he notices a gladiator Gingy fighting the animal crackers. They reappear with Gingy where he is listening to Rumpelstiltskin's commercial to form a mob and get Shrek.
In the original universe, they were fighting with Gingy for the fun of the ogres and the others. Sadly, the Three Little Pigs ate them, leaving only a horse cookie to survive.
In a deleted scene, the animal crackers appeared and attacked Shrek by order of Gingy. They didn't live for long however, as the cookies got crushed by Shrek.
Personality[]
They behave like predators, having the mindset of attacking. However, these animal crackers can be tamed as seen in the ending of Shrek Forever After.
Trivia[]
- Unlike other villains, the animal crackers do not speak or make any vocal effects.
