Shrek franchise, is cute and riddled with running gags (Puss in Boots 'big eyes) and sly pop culture references (Puss calls Donkey "ridonkulous"), but halfway through the film we realize that not only have we seen the same story told a different way three times before, but, worse, nothing is at stake.

If you create something that is entirely new to you, could that not be called inventing even if—unbeknownst to you—someone else invented it already?
