First, because it’s cliché.
I have a firefox extension that blocks the first post of any blog article on the internet.
has anyone else noticed that pigs look like Wilbur from Carlots web? (Sarcastic tone)
You’re first? Really? I would have never guessed.
Reply fail.
Reply win.
indeed, it’s a lookalike…
btw.. what is this donkey xote stuff (srry but it’s unknown to me and I think it’s also to a lot of other europeans (pllz don’t tear me up!!)
Erm, which company created it? … i bet on disney cuz it looks too s/kimba to me (*hopez that no lawyers are sneaking around here* )
I don’t know what it is either, but if you can’t tell that it’s a reference to Don Quixote, written by the Spaniard (*cough* cough* Europe~!) then….I don’t really know what to say
I bet he got it; so what’s Donkey Xote mr wise guy?
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.
Im assuming they also look alike because they are both donkeys and there is only so much you can do with a donkey.
they don’t look all that much alike to me…
but, hey, I might be crazy and they’re identical!
A cartoon donkey totally looks like a cartoon donkey.
This. Come one now, what’s next? Garfield totally looks like Heathcliff?
they even have the same gaps in their teeth.
Dur!! Ever look in a donkey’s mouth? Where do you think the bit goes, genius?
Uh, most donkeys don’t wear bits.
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.
People bridle donkeys all the time, all over the world. Except in Wolfie’s world, that is.
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).
nice ggolge and wiki dude! way to multitask
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).
again nice google and wiki look up, you realize you fail with out technology.
Indeed. I think the captioner has made an ass of himself.
“From the producers that saw Shrek!”
Honestly, there are more than one way to design a cartoon Donkey. And more than one way to design a cartoon lion too. This Donkey is a ripoff. So is the Lion in this movie, who looks just like the evil lion from the Lion King.
The animators seem lacking in imagination.
but the fur colour…!!
*gets brick’d*
The lion in Donkey Xote totally does NOT look like Scar. Sorry, not at all.
reading comprehension fail.
sarcastic comprehension fail
comprehension comprehension fail
So, a donkey looks like a donkey? Whoa! Deep.
Next thing cats will look like cats and dogs will look like dogs.
Is this made by that Brazilian company that rips off Pixar movies?
Donkeys look like donkeys? Say it ain’t so!
It ain’t so. Donkeys do have distinguishing features. As do cats and dogs (to the failure above you.)
Seeing as I saw a poster for Donkey Xote as a joke while waiting on line for the Shrek 3d feature in Universal Studios, I assume this is the same picture, and it’s obviously by the animators, since it’s a bad pun (Don Quixote, Donkey Xote” that was posted outside of the Shrek ride.
So this fails.
Um, no. It’s a real movie. Made by peacearch and futurIkon.
Differences: Hair, eyes, eyebrows, teeth, ears, nostrils, coloring…
Similarities: They both look like donkeys…
Yeah, I see what you mean…
Funny, just saw this preview on a movie called ‘Dragon Fighters’, a kids’ CG movie, and yes, they try to imitate Eddie Murphy’s voice also.
oh, and in dragon hunters, the little blue alien fire-breathing creature looks and sounds freakishly similar to Stitch.
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.
there’s not too many conputer graphic donkeys that smile, are there?
Donkey Xote? Don Quixote?
The Donkey is not the national bird of mexico.
that’s racist.
Don Quixote isn’t mexican…
that is why you fail
WTF?? What tree did you fall out of? National bird of Mexico? The national bird of Mexico is the Caracara, dimwit. Don Quixote was from SPAIN and the name derives from “cuixot” (Catalan: thighs), a reference to a horse’s rump.
Get it? A “horsey” ASS (read donkey here, dink).
Doing your homework win. I have not read the story but from other sorces I have read I saw that he would challenge windmills since he often mistook them for giants. Was this a stab at culture of the era?
Why would Don Quixote be named after a horse’s backside?
All I remember was, he rode an ancient horse, and his friend (Sancho Panza or something) rode a donkey, and Don wanted to be a knights so he attacked windmills or giants or something…
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
seriously, this movie is all a copy from other movies. They made this donkey, a chicken that dances like disney’s chicken little, and a horse that kinda looks like buck from home on the range… AND the song in the trailer sounds like shrek’s soundtrack… i don’t think is good.
No duh it’s a look-a-like! The Donkey-Xote is a parody poster MADE by Dreamworks that they show in the line to Shrek 4-D at Universal studios!
THEY’RE DONKEYS!
They ALL look alike.
Donkey Xote, Oh, I get it. Don Quixote!
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.
So… they’re remaking Don Quixote with talking animals?
WTF, humanity.
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.
this is a stupid one. of course they look alike. how many ways are there to anthropomorphize a donkey in CGI?
I actually thought the Donkey Xote was a spin off of Shrek until I saw it…
They’re really that similar…
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.
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.
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.
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.
if you read the packaging it says “from the producers of Shrek”
“From the producers who saw ‘Shrek’,” proclaim the posters for “Donkey Xote.”
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.
they even made a reference that this donkey is like a cousin of the one in shrek so… yeah and btw… this movie really suck xD
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 both also look like the Donkey from Hee Haw. Donkey looks like Donkey, duh.
Can People stop saying “FAIL”?!?!?Its a very DOUCHEBAGETHA thing to say!
douchebagetha fail
Humph.
.. they’re donkeys, what do you expect?
RIP. OFF. Ripoff
