Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe principal actors never met each other. They all read their parts separately, with a reader feeding them the lines. John Lithgow later admitted that, while he enjoyed playing Lord Farquaad, he was a little disappointed that he never actually worked directly with Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz, or Eddie Murphy.
- GoofsThe chain around Dragon's neck is not there when Donkey summons her before the wedding scene, but it appears seconds later when Shrek gives Donkey a noogie. The chain disappears again after Shrek uses it to climb onto her.
- Quotes
[Shrek enters the tournament]
Lord Farquaad: What's that? It's hideous!
Shrek: Well, that's not very nice.
[gestures to Donkey]
Shrek: It's just a donkey.
- Crazy creditsThe Ss in the DreamWorks logo transform into ogre form. This foreshadows Fiona's nightly transformation into an ogre.
- Alternate versionsThe Blu-ray release adds some extra music cues to the score. For example, when Donkey sings "You Gotta Have Friends" to Shrek, an instrumental that wasn't there before is heard in the background.

Featured review
Beautifully computer-animated fairy tale: a gentle morality play, very skillfully done.
I'm an old dude, 75 to be exact, and in my working days I was everything from a mainframe programmer to a HiTech startup Tech Admin. This sentence is here only to show why I am interested in the productions of Dreamworks and, of course, Pixar. Coming from a computer background permits me to be very, very impressed with the wonderful skill and creativity that go into making movies such as Shreck.
Now then: The movie itself is marvelous! The characters are gentle and funny; there is no gratuitous violence; there are innuendos, of course, but skillfully done in a way that the "libretto" if you will can be "read" at least two levels. The story line itself is charming, and the ending is a real, nifty surprise!
I add here that I've watched this with my younger G_Kids, who loved it; and also with my bride of fifty years, who loved it.
It is in all ways in a class with the best that Mr. Jobs has so far produced, which is saying a great deal.
HIGHLY recommended as good, funny, charming entertainment for a whole bunch of ages.
