Genre: Fantasy/Comedy
There are many conventions for the fantasy genre in Children's films. Firstly there has to be a main good guy (Shrek) and a main bad guy (King Harold) as well as their accomplices. There also has to be damsel in distress where the good guy is trying to save her from the bad guy. Throughout a fantasy children's film there has to be a unrealistic setting with usually unrealistic characters such as a talking donkey, dragon and cat. There will be action and fighting which is sometimes comical and the loser of the battle will often be punished rather than hurt/injured/killed. Another convention is the good guy winning the fight against the bad guy and saving the damsel in distress. The film will then end happily and the couple will live happily ever after.
