When Larry goes to Hunter’s school for a presentation for career day, it doesn’t go as hoped. In order to please his son, he says he knows Donkey from Shrek. But when everyone demands he bring him in to school the following day, he realises it was a stupid thing to say. By promising to bring him in the next day, he ensures Hunter’s popularity for the moment, but it isn’t going to be long before he finds out his dad doesn’t really know Donkey, so Sarmoti decides for the good of his grandson, to help Larry and Snack kidnap Donkey. There’s only one way something like this can go. Pear shaped.
