[edit] Movie Trailer

Does anyone know when the trailer will be released? Willl it be released with Flushed Away? Once it is on the web, put it on this page as soon as possible. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.63.18.184 (talk)

Which trailer? the reg. trailer or the exclusive trailer?Coolchriswow 14:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Please don't post those links. There are links to the official trailers off the official Shrek website. Also, please sign your posts :) -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 19:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but that only covers the 1 trailer Coolchriswow 14:08, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Other

For an August 2004 deletion debate over this page see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Shrek 3----

I'd like a chance to stubify this. Andrewa 06:57, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Stubify a redirect? Uh... --Ihope127 8 July 2005 17:09 (UTC)

Can someone if that summary is accurate? I just don't see how someone could have a plot synopsis already. -- Anonymous 25 June 1:12

The summary cites it's source as a fansite, so I believe we should say it's a speculated summary. Everyone okay with me making that edit?--Slappy.McGee 17:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I've removed the plot. Wikipedia centers on facts, not anticipating rumors. If someone finds a plot and has a source confirming this, then the plot should be allowed. Until we know what's the exact plot, we shouldn't add any plot ideas to the article. If anyone challenges me on this, they can put in their opinions on my talk page. - Raditzu

I've removed this:

• The use of "the Third" in the title instead of keeping with the numerical continuity of the series titles is presumably a reference to Blackadder the Third.

because it's unsourced and it could clearly be from anywhere. Sum0 17:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Can someone please verify the list of "Confirmed cast"? I removed Avril Lavigne since no one can seem to confirm her as being in this movie. See also Talk:Avril_Lavigne. --Nabber00 21:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Really Trivial Trivia

Removed the following from Trivia:

King Arthur was also called Artie in an episode of Fairly Odd Parents.

King Arthur has, I'm sure, been called Artie in hundreds of attempts at comedy throughout the ages. They're of no relevance to the upcoming Shrek film.

Is there any reason to believe the title Shrek the third is a "parody of the anime Lupin the third?"

[edit] Sequel

"It will be the third sequel to Shrek" - isn't it rather the second sequel instead of the third? 81.208.165.173 14:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Another bad movie. 1st one was good, this is getting out of hand. --TRYTOBENICE 03:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Complaining, it is nothing new to be a third film, how many have been done before. IF I have read correct the second film did better than the first film. Also nothing new. Someone realized that animation with a PG rating could sell to the popular age group 12 to 50 or whatever, it is no longer just a kid's film. So this is no Cinderella 3 Disney made for video DVD, but a real movie. I can state view on the talk page and Disney undersold the abilities of the Australia 2-D computer animation unit they closed that produced TV animation and Disney DVD sequels. Their last work was a start on Cinderella 3, which is what was stated in the ABC Network website announcement of the studio closing. *see DisneyToons - Outsourced as is everything... As for new idea films we all seek them..... kidsheaven 01:34, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cleaning up

Okay, I've gone through this page and killed the trivia, pulled out the trailer recaps, and made it more like the other movie pages out there. Oy. I deleted some images, since there's not enough text to support it yet. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 20:30, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

I've re-deleted the trailer. This is NOT needed! We just need the plot. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 02:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I've also removed Zooey Deschanel from the actor list - Neither her, nor her purported 'Little Mermaid' character come up in any news search I've done. If someone can find it, cite it. -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 01:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Artie?

Is artie a reference to the Fairly OddParents episode "Knighty Knight" where King Arthur is called "Artie"? Strong Devon 04:53, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Hell no. Artie is a common abbreviation for Arthur. The Sky May Be 06:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More Cleanup

I've just done some more clean-up of the synopsis, taking out stuff I can't find on IMDB or the official site for the movie. If we are going to add anything more, I suggest sources are cited. -- Alucard (Dr.) | Talk 16:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
