They fit the whole beauty(Fiona) and the beast(Shrek) thing only exceot for the monster turning into the handsome prince it's the beautiful princess that turns into the monster but she's pretty as an ogre

I can see it

No, Belle is more gentle and Ladylike fitting the Princess style. And if this is Possible even when he is a Beast, Beast seems like a prince he gets angry yes but he doesnt fart and burp. He has manners as much as he can.

No...I agree with Persephone713's points. Belle and Fiona are very different characters, as are Beast and Shrek.

The question isn't "Are they exact replicas of Belle and Beast?"

I see some similarities.
SHREK/BEAST: lash out due to their frustration with the judgment they receive based on their appearances as monsters, are secretly sensitive, are very rude and demeaning to their love interests at first

BELLE/FIONA: are very beautiful, independent, are shocked by their love interests hideousness at the beginning but later see past the ugly faces

The Beast in the Disney version didn't have manners at first. Remember when he was scarfing down what I think was porridge? And he couldn't use a spoon. And he wiped the food off his face with his sleeve.

they don't.

Not reallly.....

I see some similarities, definitely, it's the reason why I began to love Shrek. Because both movies have the same moral.

No way

To be honest its in reverse. Fiona was born royalty and she decided to become an ogre in the end without marrying that Farquad lad. It’s the sequel of Shrek that reminds me of Beauty & the Beast because Shrek becomes human so that he can make Fiona happy but he ends up being an ogre again in the end.

Negative...but I love both :)

i've never thought about it before, but now that you mention it...

I agree with LisaForde

in a weird way.

Oh of course. Also the transformation scene at the end is basically an exact replica of the transformation scene in BatB.
