I don't think the Shrek movies are kid's films, rather they're family films i.e. everyone enjoys them what ever age. I'm generalizing here but when you're a kid Shrek 1 is about Shrek rescuing a princess and learning that looks don't define who you are, Shrek 2 is about defeating the Fairy Godmother, Shrek 3 is about Shrek defeating the fairy tale villains led by Prince Charming and Shrek Forever After is all about stopping Rumpelstiltskin. An adult might see Shrek 1 is about Shrek leaving the single life behind and finding out he needs friends. Shrek 2 is about Shrek's fear about meeting his wife's family and measuring up. Shrek 3 is about Shrek's fear about becoming a new father. Shrek Forever After is about Shrek getting so fed up at being a new parent he's tricked into signing a magical contract. When you come back to the Shrek films when you're older and after going though your own experiences you might appreciate them from a different angle. Or not.
He's Pinnochio. They need to use his nose to unlock the jail shackles, and they decide to use a "lie" that he's wearing lingerie. When his nose doesn't lengthen, it's been decided that he is wearing lingerie.
