Shrek

When Shrek and the donkey are looking at the stars, in one shot Orion's Belt (three bright stars in a row) is right next to the moon, but in the next shot of the stars it's not.

When Shrek sits to eat his meal he has a slug on the left-hand side of his plate facing towards him.

When he is invaded by the Three Blind Mice the slug is suddenly facing the other way.

The Three Blind Mice are turned into horses to pull the coach after the wedding reception, yet they are seen moments later dancing on the organ keys.

A closer look reveals that there was a passage of time (perhaps a day) between these two shots.

The chain around Dragon's neck disappears after Shrek uses it to climb on to her.

When donkey first meets Shrek, when Shrek confronts the knights, the shadows of the all people in the scene do not fall the same way, Shrek's shadow is casting more forward onto the leader knight, whereas the knight's shadows are off to their left.

When Donkey passes out (after the arrow incident) you see some dry leaves drifting up from the floor.

However, in the next, wider shot there are no leaves to be seen.

When Lord Farquaad is questioning the Gingerbread man, he throws his leg onto the tray that it is lying on but when the camera shows the Gingerbread man, the leg is nowhere to be seen.

As Shrek and Donkey are leaving we see them walk through sunflowers before the onions and cabbages.

Later as they are walking back, the sunflowers are farther away from the castle than any other plant.

When Fiona finishes off the rest of Robin Hood's Merry Men, she cries out a few seconds later that an arrow is stuck in Shrek's butt.

However, if one looks in the few shots beforehand, there is none there.

When Shrek and Donkey visit the Mini-Theatre in DU-LOC it takes a photo of them.

After taking the photo, Donkey turns his head little.

But in the next shot, the head is at same pose as in the picture.

Near the end of the movie, when Shrek and Donkey are rushing to make the wedding, Shrek climbs up the chain to get on Dragon.

Previously, it has been assumed that Dragon then flies off, but if you look closely, Dragon lifts Donkey onto her back with her paw, and Donkey is present at all times.

During the scene where Shrek and Donkey meet the mascot, after the mascot is on the ground, while looking through the doorway, the mascot isn't colored.

When Lord Farquaad finds Shrek, Donkey and Fiona after Donkey discovers Fiona's secret, he gives Shrek a scroll, claiming it's the deed to the swamp.

Later, when he leaves with Fiona, the scroll is nowhere to be seen.

In the last two shots of the scene in which Fiona takes out Hood and his men, the swing that the Friar was in is missing from the background.

As far as we know, Fiona has spent her entire life alone in the tower, so she should have no knowledge of the outside world.

Yet as her encounters with the songbird and Robin Hood demonstrate, she is more than capable of taking care of herself.

However, it is revealed in _Shrek 2 (2004)_ (qv) that she's spent at least a few years of her life outside the tower (from Fiona's diary), which might be the time when she learned her skills.

Another theory is that she could have been practicing in her room in the tower.

Shrek, Donkey and Fiona stop twice after her rescue, so as not to reveal Fiona's secret.

At the second stop, the door to Fiona's cabin opens in & out.

Shrek makes jokes about Lord Farquaad's height even though he just learned of Farquaad's existence, and never saw him anywhere before except on a balcony.

However, Donkey could have heard about Farquaad's height before, and told Shrek about it during their quest.

The sun sets in different directions with respect to the same view of Lord Farquaad's castle.

Lord Farquaad summons the Mirror to show him a princess he can marry (to become King of Duloc).

The Mirror presents him with Cinderella, who is not a princess in her own right, so Lord Farquaad could not become King by marrying her.

Of the choices named by the Mirror, only Snow White and Fiona are princesses.

When Shrek and donkey arrive at Duloc, Shrek scares the parking valet who then proceeds to run back and forth through the roped queuing area.

When seen from above, he has 4 more rows to run, but when seen from behind, once he runs those four rows, he still has two more rows to run.

I went to watch 'Shrek' last week.I found the plot of this film s very meaningful.

Shrek (Mike Myers) is a green, obnoxious ogre who bathes (and gargles) in mud, is notoriously flatulent and makes a candle out of his earwax. He knows perfectly well he's not welcome in polite society and just wants is to be left alone in his swamp.

The movie was totally fun and comedy. Amongst the animals, Donkey was very funny.

Shrek is a fantastic movie with a great and really original storyline with a brilliant voice cast and some really lovable and unforgettable characters.The movie is easily one of the best family films ever made,there is plenty of jokes that will make the whole family laugh,and also plenty of subtle humor that only adults will understand,also the story isn't too dark for children or too childish for adults and there's a lot of not so subtle digs at Disney as well.

I couldn't watch more than about five minutes of this drivel because it starts with clichéd scatological humor. Ho, ho, how funny is that?

"Shrek" is the revolutionary stepping stone of DreamWorks Animation. It tells the story of an ogre named Shrek, who goes on a daring journey with a talking donkey, to save a princess from a dragon-guarded castle surrounded by hot boiling lava.

One of the best animated movies ever created. It's not as good as the 2nd but this is where it all started.

Move over "Uncle Walt," this may be the funniest, most irrelevant animated feature of all time! Fantastic animation and wonderful backgrounds.

While embracing and subverting fairy tales, this irreverent and creative animation also manages to give the competitor Disney a good nudge, in addition to providing a well-crafted moral message to children while delivering a quick and fun adventure to older viewers. Shrek was very deservedly the first film to win the OSCAR for Best Animation, in addition to being DreamWorks' first major commercial success.
