The "donkey" in the story is able to "throw off his ass's skin" and is a human underneath. Definitely not the same character.

And Shrek is Scottish compared to almost every other fairy tale ogre lol. There is no meaningful point to be made there.

The point is that there's no reason to think that this particular talking donkey character from a Grimm's story inspired Donkey in Shrek in any way.

and the donkey in the bible was only temporarily vocal in order to speak a specific message to one dude. again, no conclusion to be found here, only to point out that OP is misinformed.

I didn't take the OP as being serious at all.
