If Donkey doesn't know how babies are made, it leads me to believe that the conception of the Dronkeys was the result of Dragon taking advantage of Donkey whilst he was asleep, or possibly drugged. I really don't want to think of the mechanics of that...
Bad Dragon. Bad, bad dragon.
that was a very dumb line of the whole movie, i think the film is great but that line made me notice that they missed a little detail in this film..

Oh, yeah. I remember that line. I remember thinking "How can he not know? He's got five kids waiting for him back home!"

When did he say this line?
He says that at minute 22, after waking up from the nightmare where he had dozens of kids, while on the ship.
Maybe he (donkey) doesn't know how ogres do it (-:
-- "Quoth the raven: NM"

Basicly, the dialogue was this:
Shrek: How could this have happened?
Puss: Allow me to explain. When a man has special feelings for a woman, powerful urge sweeps over him....
Shrek: I know how it happened! I just can't believe it. (walks off)
Donkey: How does it happen?
Puss: (Rolls eyes)

When I saw the dronkeys onscreen for the first time. I suddenly became disturbed.

I think Donkey should have been the one to explain to Shrek where babies come from. Then Puss should have asked "Where do they come from?"

I figured Donkey never knew sexual intimacy with his dragon lady is the act that conceived the "dronkeys." He just knew that one day, the babies were there.
Don't you DARE faint Pittypat Hamilton! If Melanie says it's alright, it tis alright!
Dragons do not have to have sex to become children.
The female dragon has to lay eggs and then the male (in this case donkey) comes and fecondate the eggs.
Mark Twain had a funny short story about Adam and Eve. Written from Adam's point of view, "When I arrived at the cave, the female had a new animal with her. It makes strange noises, and she is unaccountably attracted to it, even trying to bring it into our bed". I think that might be how Donkey was meant to be---like, he didn't get the connection between what he and the Dragon do, and where babies come from.
shareDonkey is a mammal, and Dragon appears to be a reptile. So who knows how it happened? Maybe Donkey just wanted to know how ogres make babies.
shareYou guys have no sense of humour.
The line was a joke!
The fact that he has kids is what makes it funny.
Hi! I'm.... Tommy, and I'm your friend to the end. Hi Di Ho. Ha ha ha.
dragon, they are reptiles ? I don't think so, there are even theories that dinosaurs are mammals.
Dinosaurs never existed, the idea is ludicrous. Their mass density would make them unable to move with our gravity. And they are not in the Bible.
shareWell, considering that before the Flood, there was a layer of floating water that encircled the Earth, which lowered the density of gravity, as the humidity was overbearing, but with the lack of gravity at that time, then we were able to live thousands of years old, and there were Giants and Dragons that roamed the planet.
shareBrainwashed? School? How on earth could that apply to me or the statement I made? Since Dinosaurs are a widely held belief and I am choosing to doubt it, and not take the easy way out and let it go... I am not the one that seems to be brainwashed. And school?? You mean those four colleges don't count?? Those places where liars who were taught by liars who were taught by liars who were taught by liars who were taught by liars tell lies????? Hmmmm... The places where history and the stories that were written from the point of view of the survivors and political leaders??? Surely they had no hidden agenda, they must be taken as fact. (someone has never heard of locker room tales of conquest)
This planet is far, far, far older than anyone can even imagine. I laugh at the thought of early animals and beings using a big hole to deposit their after meal garbage and millenia later having ignorant quadropeds digging it up thinking that all of the bones came from the same animal. And centuries of the planet going through ice ages, volcano eruptions, earthquakes, land mass shifts, jungles, desert, flood, tornadoes, hurricanes, etc. over and over and having animals falling and dying on top of other animals and their old graves, being packed down and shifted and settling. Then having so called simpleton so called scientists making a bigger deal out of it than it actually was, coming up with far fetched imaginings. I have watched the History channel and His-I for over 20 yrs. And I sit there and many times during the show say "That's not what happened", "That's not what that is, means." Whatever. (I know 'cause I was there) LOL!
A layer of floating water above the earth??? Must look into that one.
"You have no idea how many times I have wanted to use my finger for the betterment of all mankind"
Umm, please let's not turn this into a "let's debate the existence of dinosaurs/whether the bible is true/evolution/etc" thread, because that will not end well. I didn't really understand your post, but can we just move on?
And after just seeing the movie, I didn't really understand Donkey's line. Then again, i never really understood the whole mechanics of how Dragon/Donkey would,ummm....fit together in order to have babies. Oh well, the babies are cute!
Dinosaurs never existed, the idea is ludicrous. Their mass density would make them unable to move with our gravity. And they are not in the Bible
we still have dinosaurs here on earth

I loved that line! It shows just how naive Donkey really is.
shareOr maybe Dragon laid eggs (assuming that she was ovoviviparous)which hatched into babies that looked like Donkey, having conceived them in his image through maternal impression.
This, after all, is a fantasy movie after all, anything can happen.
It could explain the fact of the little dronkeys' sudden appearance in the movie, being born already fully developed and flying about.
