Rainbow Designs Bears Shrek
Rainbow Designs are the go to name when it comes to turning some of our most well loved cartoon characters into soft toys. They have over the years earned this reputation through working with such beloved characters as Winnie the Pooh, Paddington Bear and Peter Rabbit. Out of all of the 21st century's children's characters, though, there are perhaps very few which rival the popularity of Shrek. That is why it is such a great thing that Rainbow Designs have turned their attention to this wonderful swamp loving creature.
Shrek
The Shrek story began for most people in 2001 with the hugely successful eponymous film, but this film was loosely based on the fantasy picture book of the same name by William Steig which came out in 1990. The first film was successful in commercial and critical terms. It was in fact the first animated film since 1953's Peter Pan to be invited to the Cannes Film Festival. This debut was followed by four films: Shrek 2, Shrek the Third and Shrek Forever After. This is not to mention Christmas and Halloween specials, a stage show, many short films, and a couple of feature lengths forthcoming! The Shrek franchise has stood out over two decades as an enduring tale which has been able to take its place among the timeless classics. The world is so well realised that it has become one of those stories such The Wind in the Willows and The Tale of Peter Rabbit which are richly evocative whenever you return to them with the kids.
