Shrek’s scottish accent was a good idea. It’s very iconic :)

Here’s another fact: In the scene where Princess Fiona burped that was real because Cameron Diaz who voiced Fiona, actually let out a burp, the filmmakers liked it so much they kept it in.

Shrek and Donkey actually have some of the best chemistry of any animated film. Their banter is genuinely entertaining, even outside of the plot. I'm glad that Mike Myers got the part, although Chris Farley would have been very interesting in the role, I'm sure.

Ultra-fluffy Donkey is bizarrely adorable. He looks like a living topiary.

Fun fact: Originally All Star by Smash Mouth was not supposed to be in Shrek because the creators didn't like the song but when test screenings released the creators loved it so the song stayed in the movie.

Ah, I can see it now: Shrek, the Teenage Canadian Ogre, who embarks an a quest to save a talking donkey.

so glad we ended up with Mike Meyers, none of the other choices seem like they would fit, you planning on doing the whole series with Fun Facts?

Fantastic video Rustin, thank you. The only fact I already knew was about Chris Farley in the role. All the rest was new info. Great job my friend.

Additional fact: Robin Williams was once sought for the role, but he turned it down because he refused to work with Jeffrey Katzenberg since the incident with Aladdin

Here's another fact: The animation of this movie was actually completely by animators who were kicked off The Prince of Egypt, and sent to be punished by working on this movie.

Its a coincidence that you uploaded this while im on a shrek trilogy binge

My cousin and I used to act out all of Sherk and Donkey's scenes all the time when we were kids.

Perfect! I’m rehearsing for a musical about Shrek!

I love this channel too much you have to make more videos 💕

Mike Myers used the same Shrek voice in the Cup Cake making scene in the live action Cat In The Hat movie. Since that scene was so very funny a lot of people on KZfaq create their own versions of it. They even wrote scripts and made their own and put in Disney characters and other things as well. Here is the script that I made that I want to show you. Goof Troops Presents, Making Cup Cakes: Pete: So kiddo, what do you want to do for fun? Pistol: I wanna make cupcakes! Pete: Cupcakes. Oh, yeah! To Goofy's kitchen! [Upbeat Music] [Announcer] Live from the kitchen, the following is a paid commercial announcement for Astounding Products. Donald Duck: Hi! Welcome to Astounding Products. Pistol: Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! P.J. and Max: Shhh. Pistol whispers: Sorry. Donald Duck: I'm your host, Donald Duck who asks all the obvious questions. [Studio Audience Laughing] Now, here to tell us about his astounding product for making cupcakes, who lives next door with my pal Goofy, please welcome... Pete: Me! Hello! [Chuckling]... Hello! I'm so excited! Do you love making cupcakes, but hate all the hard cupcake work? Donald Duck: I know I do! Pete: Well, forget everything you know about making cupcakes... and say hello... to the amazing Kupkake-inator. - I'm so excited! - [Audience Chuckling] Donald Duck: Cupcake-a-what? [Pete, Audience] Kupkake-inator! Pete: This is an amazing device. It can instantly make cupcakes... out of anything that you have in the kitchen. Donald Duck: Wait a minute. Did you say"anything"? Pete: Anything. Donald Duck: Anything? Pete: Yes, anything. Donald Duck: Anything? Pete: Anything. Donald Duck: Anything? Pete: I'll get you Duck, and it'll look like an accident. - [Audience Tittering] Pete: Anything. Now, take off the lid. You can put in, Maybe a carton of eggs Donald Duck: What? Pete: How about a pack of hot dogs? Donald Duck: That's incredible! Pete: Why not some ketchup? Donald Duck: Yeah, why not? Pete: Maybe some mustard. Donald Duck: OK yeah! Pete: Don't forget the hot sauce. Donald Duck: Sure. Pete: How about... I know what you're thinking'. Even a fire extinguisher. There we go. P.J.: Hmm? Pete: Now, close the lid and Bob's your flippin' uncle! Donald Duck: What an astounding product! [Audience Applauding] Max: Oh, yeah! Pete: Open the drawer, [Bell Dings, Motor Whirring] Fill the patented Kupkake-inator tray, [Audience Gasping] Pete: Close the drawer, - [Audience Continues Gasping] Pete: Then place it in a conventional oven. [Audience Laughing, Applauding] Pete: Delicious cupcakes are just minutes away. Donald Duck: Did you just say "minutes away"? [Donald, Audience] That's impossible! Pete: You're not just wrong, you're stupid. Donald Duck: Now, wait a minute. Pete: And you're ugly, just like your Mom. [Audience Gasping] Donald Duck: Did you just call my mother ugly? Pete: Shut up Duck! I mean it! I will end you! - [Grunts] [Audience, Goofy Gasping, Groaning] Pistol: Um, Daddy. Your fingers. Pete: What about my fingers? Oh, I see! I've chopped my fingers off. That's interesting, because... Son of a [Beep] @¤@¤[Whistling "The Girl From Ipanema"] Peg: Pete. I saw you on TV while I was at work and you cut off your fingers! You've also turned a cooking show into a horror show in the end of the show! Pete: Look Peg, I'm not saying we're going to sue. I'm just saying we have a case. We'll talk later. Lxnay, ixnay. Goofy: Hey, Pete, it is the oven supposed to be making that sound? Pete: Hmm? Of course. That means they're almost done, Goof ball. Goofy: My name is Goofy! Pete: That's what I said, Goof jerk. Goofy: Pete! Pete: Now, that's my name! [Oven Whirring, Rumbling] [Timer Bell Dings] Pete: Yep! They're done! Max and P.J.: Oh, man! Pistol: What a mess! Goofy: Gee willikers, gee! Pete: There's nothing to worry about it. I'm sure they still taste fine. Yuck! They're horrible! Who wants some? Come on, come on! [Laughing]

Do you know that some clips of the “i feel good” animation test for the chris farley shrek were found? The first design of shrek war really similar to chris farley, but is a bit creepy, at the time they used frame by frame cgi together with motion capture technology

The welcome to Duloc information machine was based on Disney’s small world.

Do Spirit:Stallion of the Cimarron,PLEEEEEEEEZZZZZZ!!!!!I loved that movie!!

Fun Fact : Janeane Garofalo was originally cast as princess Fiona but got fired without an explanation and gets replaced with Cameron Diaz and also none of the actors met each other while they recorded their lines separately and John Lithgow was disappointed that he never got meet the other actors

I think the donkey looked better as a Chia Pet.

I wish shrek 5 would come out

Sherk is just awesome. 👍🏻

Shrek's backstory was used for the first opening act in Shrek the Musical

Can you tell us some fun film facts About the Flintstones movie 1994?

Tom Cruise 🚢 would have been too serious 🧐

Who else thinks Nicholas cage would have been good for the role?

My all time favorite animated movie! Honestly, Tom Cruise would’ve killed it as Shrek even though I loved Mike Myers way better. Chris Farley as Shrek would’ve been an absolute disaster! Do you think you could do behind the scenes facts of Shrek 2?

Shrek is my crush

I’m surprised the Jimmy Neutron movie was in competition with this film at the Oscars Though Monsters Inc had a pretty good chance of winning
