representation of the big bad wolf:

A mixture of the Wolf in Little Red Riding Hood, and The Three Little Pigs. He is a friendly misunderstood crossdresser (apparently wearing Lil Red's grandmother's clothes) and on good terms with the three little pigs. This depiction, along with a transgendered bartender and Pinocchio's expansive nose in Shrek 2, raised the anger of some conservative groups who objected the film's sexual content. However, these concerns were widely made fun of in the media. In Far Far Away Idol he sings "Hungry Like the Wolf". In Shrek 2 Fairy Godmother calls him a gender confused Wolf. His line when every one looks at him confused is, "What?".
