[edit] The Legend of Zelda

There exists no reference, just a painting of a green blurr on a horse in the King's bedroom. Can somebody delete it?

[edit] Puss's Eyes

In one trivia it says there is a RE/MAX balloon in puss's eyes when he givews his sad look..i've seen none!

I can't find a balloon either. However, when the King meets Puss, when the camera is up close to his eyes, you can see someone's face in it. I don't know who it is, but it's not the King. Vinyourg 20:57, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

I've not found any pictures online of it, and the image of Puss putting on his cute face is quite popular. Willing to say it's a hoax. 216.176.105.92 21:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Indiana Jones

What about the part where Puss reaches under the door that's closing to grab his hat much like in 3 of the indiana jones movies...?

[edit] The Demolition Man

The scene of escaping the Fairy Godmother's factory slightly resembles the final battle in the Demolition Man movie, as Shrek and his companions avoid the spilled potion much in the same way as John Spartan avoids being frozen. Is it a coincidence or should it be added to 'movie references'? Elenthel 22:40, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

I think that should be added to 'movie references'. 68.94.200.122 19:54, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I think not, considering it's a REALLY loose connection and is not unique to Demolition Man--the prospect of there being some harmful substance on the ground that characters must avoid by keeping off the floor is not original--Who Framed Roger Rabbit? had something similar. -Mance 05:46, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Donkey learns French?

Where does THAT come from? Thanos6 07:08, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

absolutely no idea. i'm deleting it. PrinceCharming 00:39, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Two Beauty and the Beast reference listings

There seem to be two listings for the bit where the two elves at the Fairy Godmother factory turn into a godfather clock and candlestick. I think the first should be deleted. Zooba 13:59, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Movie Trivia

I think there is way too much movie trivia. ЄИЄЯפЇЄ 05:14, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. I mean, come on, is it really worth noting that the word "ass" is used?

[edit] Inconceivable!

In the references section, under an image there is:

Shrek and his princess bride, Fiona.

which seems to imply similarities with The Princess Bride. I can see similarities, but isn't it slightly original research? Andjam 02:12, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Isn't Fiona both Shrek's bride and a princess? I think its just a coincidence. Atropos 04:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Shrek has many similarities to The Princess Bride. Some scenes are nearly identical (heroes invading the castle, heroes fighting inside the halls).

[edit] Cleanup

To put it frankly, the article is in serious need of clean-up--at the present, it looks a lot more like a fan synopsis than an encyclpedic article. -Mance 00:31, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I did a major revision on the plot section and tried to shrink the cast section, but the article is a mere 1 KB under the preferred maximum size. In my opinion, a lot of people can be cut from the cast list (all of the 'extras'), and the trivia section could use a LOT of trimming--some of the entries are good, but a lot are just big stretches.Mance 05:36, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lewis Black

Probably not a good enough connection to go in, but I always saw the Farbucks across the street from the Farbucks as a reference to Lewis Black's "End of the Universe" routine: "But, no. There was a Starbucks across from a Starbucks. And that, my friends, is the end of the universe." I enjoyed it anyway. :)

I love the bit, but you were right in thinking it was too big of a stretch. The complaint of starbucks being in close proximity is fairly common.Mance 09:56, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

Actually, Sir Justin wasn't a reference according to the DVD commentary, they did it before they knew they were dating and then when they found out asked permission if it was alright to still use it. ~Cherries Jubilee

[edit] Be Good

In this page it says that that line is a parody of ET, but I believe its from terminator when Arnold is getting melted. But im not sure, i could just be confused --Ninandnirvana 20:39, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DVD

Under Parodies/References maybe some one could put a section on the DVD. On the main menu Donkey suggests new titles for the movies such as ‘Shrek 2: 2 Fast 2 Donkey’ (2 Fast 2 Furious).

[edit] Fiona's Headbutt

In the UK DVD version, at least, Fiona 'judo chops' Charming rather than headbutting him when he tries to kiss her. Was this different in other versions? Bamboo marimba 15:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
