The company is trying to make the best puppy ever so people will stop having babies. He opens the door and sees the baby talking on the phone! Tim questions the baby, who tells Tim he’s on a mission from Heaven to stop the company where Tim’s parents work, the Puppy Company.

Shrek also turned DreamWorks into an animation empire, ending Disney’s stranglehold on cartoons and opening the door to our modern talking-digital-animal Renaissance.
