Lord Farquaad

Lord Maximus Farquaad The ogre has fallen in love with the princess! Gender: Male Type: Pragmatic, Discreet King Age: 40s Species: Human Portrayed by: John Lithgow Status: Deceased Media of origin: Shrek

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

Why He Rules Far Far Away

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, Joseph Stalin, 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.
8. He was eaten whole by Dragon, who helped Shrek and Donkey stop Farquaad and Fiona's wedding.

Qualities That He Should Be Eaten By A Dragon

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.
