Lord Farquaad

Lord Farquaad is the main antagonist of the 2001 animated film Shrek. He was voiced by John Lithgow.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He has memorable quotes such as "Ugh! It's disgusting!" and "The ogre has fallen in love with the princess".
 * 2) Unlike other animated villains, he is genuinely friendly despite being prejudiced to fairy tale creatures.
 * 3) He is a great satirical take on people such as Napoleon, Adolf Hitler and Michael Eisner.
 * 4) He has a lot of funny moments, such as where he interrogates Gingy.
 * 5) He is considered one of the best DreamWorks Animation villains of all time.
 * 6) John Lithgow did an amazing job bringing Farquaad to life.
 * 7) He returns in a few video games and Shrek 4-D as a ghost.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) His last name sounds like a swear word.
 * 2) He doesn't appear in the Xbox/GameCube game that is based on the first film. He appeared in the Hassle at the Castle game, which remedied this and is more faithful to the film.

Trivia

 * Farquaad is based on Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who is a rival to DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg.
