Trivia

The producers swear that when they decided to put a Sir Justin Timberlake poster above Princess Fiona’s bed, they had no idea that Cameron Diaz had just started dating the singer in real life. Timberlake was given a role in Shrek the Third (2007).

In Fairy Godmother’s (Jennifer Saunders’) factory, some workers are putting potion bottles on a conveyor belt. One of the bottles is marked “Fiagra” a play on “Viagra”.

Shrek’s face is so expressive because it has two hundred eighteen working muscles in it.

Antonio Banderas also provided the voice of Puss In Boots in the Spanish and Latin American versions of this movie.

Jennifer Saunders had a voice coach to help her sing for Fairy Godmother’s opening number.

When Shrek (Mike Myers), Fiona (Cameron Diaz), and Donkey (Eddie Murphy) were leaving for Far, Far Away, Donkey starts singing “Rawhide”. Murphy ad-libbed the version that was put into the movie.

Jennifer Saunders performed all of her own singing in this movie.

Young artist Butterfly Boucher recorded a new version of David Bowie’s “Changes” specially for this movie. Bowie was so impressed with this rendition, that he provided backing vocals on it.
