Shrek was born to an unnamed father and mother about thirty years prior to when he rescued Fiona. He lived with his parents before he was sent away on his 7th birthday. His father allegedly wanted to eat him by bathing him in barbecue sauce and making him sleep with an apple in his mouth, a memory that might cause his own trauma and his fear of fatherhood. Although they didn't want him to go, they had to follow the "ogre traditions”. Shrek was the second character in the main film series to say "dude" after Donkey in Shrek the Third. Meanwhile, Shrek has grown tired of being a domesticated family man and one of the biggest celebrities among the local villagers, leading him to yearn for the days when he felt like a "real ogre." During his children's first birthday party where lots of people appear along with all his friends, Shrek gets easily annoyed there as the 3 little pigs eat the birthday cake up and a little boy, called by Shrek "Butterpants", keeps wanting him to do his infamous roar. After losing his temper, he lets out a loud roar that nearly blows everyone around him away, only for them to not take his outburst seriously in the slightest and instead praise him. This results in a peeved Shrek smashing the birthday cake and lashing out at Fiona before storming off into the woods. While venting to himself, he meets with Rumpel Stiltskin, who offers to give Shrek a day to live like a real ogre again in exchange for a day from his childhood he wouldn't remember being erased. Shrek agrees and signs the contract, and abruptly lands in a alternate world where he is still feared by villagers. He enjoys causing mischief until he finds wanted posters for the ogress Fiona and his home deserted. He is suddenly captured by witches and taken to Rumpel Stiltskin, who is now the king of Far Far Away and uses ogres as slaves. Memetic usage continued on YouTube going into the late 2010s. For instance, on February 19th, 2018, YouTuber [7] XpVerse uploaded an iteration that gained roughly 2.8 million views and 91,000 likes in five years (shown below, left). On November 6th, 2020, YouTuber [8] Bosh posted an iteration, receiving roughly 3.1 million views and 97,000 likes in three years (shown below, right).

Going into the 2020s, the "Do The Roar" scene was used in TikTok content. For instance, one of its earliest uses was a video uploaded by TikToker [9] @thesnikle on April 18th, 2020, who did Butter Pants' voice repeatedly, gaining roughly 1.8 million likes in three years (shown below, left). In 2022, TikToker @yaboyywill started posting videos in which he did the voice and impersonated Butter Pants. For instance, on May 17th, 2022, @yaboyywill posted a "Do The Roar" TikTok [10] that gained roughly 28.4 million plays and 4.8 million likes in one month (shown below, right). @thesnikle Master Hand-To-Hand Combatant: Despite having no martial arts training like Fiona, Shrek is a capable hand-to-hand fighter and can often hold his own against multiple opponents at once. Shrek's fighting style has been likened to a mix of Krav Maga and Irish Street Fighting As the sun rises, Shrek begins to fade from existence, but Fiona, having fallen in love with him all over again, kisses him just before he disappears completely, which nullifies the contract and restores Shrek to his world just before he originally lashed out at Fiona. Shrek embraces his friends and family with new-found appreciation for everything he has, truly living happily forever after. In the alternate universe, he, along with his father, is seen with a giant green troll which he thinks is Shrek. They have brought it to Rumpelstiltskin so they could get the "deal of a lifetime", but Rumpelstiltskin knows it's not Shrek.

In the Brazilian Portuguese version of two first movies, he was voiced by the famous actor and comedian Bussunda. Shorts: Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Dance Party! • Far Far Away Idol • Donkey's Christmas Shrektacular • Thriller Night • The Pig Who Cried Werewolf Originally, Shrek was supposed to be voiced by Chris Farley, but he died in December 1997. He had done 80% / 90% progress (95% according to his brother Tom) of finishing the project. Prior to that in 1991, Steven Spielberg bought the rights for Bill Murray to voice him, but it was scrapped due to the closure of Amblimation. In addition to Farley and Murray, Nicolas Cage, Johnny Depp and Robin Williams were also considered until the role went to Mike Myers.

He seems to be a bit of a spoiled brat, as he desires to hear one of Shrek's roars, despite learning from Shrek that he only does it when he's angry. Despite being a bit bossy, he did have a more compassionate side, as he was seen hugging donkey, and after shrek roared, he told his dad he loved him. Butter Pants also has short, light yellow blonde hair and wears a brown hat.

Thank you

Shrek, along with Fiona and Simon, judges a singing contest in Far Far Away. He occasionally roasts, laughs at, and questions the various contestants. He later sings "What I Like About You" with Fiona, which pleases Simon. If you choose Shrek and Fiona as the winners, the two reprise the song. Shrek realises that the day Rumpel Stiltskin erased was the day he was born, meaning he never existed in this world before and is unrecognized by everyone he knows. Furthermore, when the day ends, Shrek will fade from existence. He escapes Rumpel Stiltskin's castle with the enslaved Donkey who, initially terrified of Shrek, sympathizes with his situation and reveals that the only way to render his contract null and void is through "true love's kiss." Shrek suddenly remembers that he wished he never saved Fiona from the tower at the Dragon's Keep, and runs over to the keep. Upon entering the tower, Shrek only finds Fiona's tiara on the bed, and wonders who saved her. Later, upon returning to the forest, Donkey sees some waffles and is tempted to eat them, but Shrek tries to stop him. Donkey then accidentally dribbles on them and is cast down into a hole with Shrek running after him. After meeting many ogres, who seem to live down the hole, he finds Fiona who, still cursed after escaping from the tower where she was held captive, is the leader of an ogre resistance against Rumpelstiltskin and keeps the retired and overweight Puss in Boots as a pet. Shrek does everything he can to gain Fiona's love, but she was too busy preparing an ambush on Rumpel Stiltskin during his nightly ogre hunt. However, instead, the ogres are caught in a trap by the Pied Piper, with Shrek, Fiona and Donkey being the only ones to escape. Later Shrek insists Fiona to kiss him, saying it will fix everything, but because Fiona doesn't love him, it proved to be ineffective. It is also revealed that Fiona saved herself from the Dragon's Keep as she waited and waited for her true love, but he never came, which led to her becoming delusional over true love. Upon hearing that Rumpel Stiltskin is offering anything desired for the one who captures Shrek with no strings attached, Shrek turns himself in in exchange for all ogres to be released, but Fiona remains in Rumpel Stiltskin's custody because she is only an ogre by night due to her curse. Shrek and Fiona are set to be fed to Dragon, but Donkey, Puss and the ogres raid Rumpel Stiltskin's castle, allowing Shrek and Fiona to subdue both Dragon and Rumpelstiltskin.

Butter Pants is a short, obese child who resembles Louie Anderson in looks and voice. He is seen wearing a gold outfit and carrying a giant lollipop. He talks in a grating monotone voice, and sounds nasally somewhat also similar to that of Mel Blanc. Fire Breathing: In the book, Shrek breathes fire on a knight when entering the castle to meet the ugly princess.In the Latin Spanish dub, Shrek was supposed to be voiced by three different Mexican actors. In the casting, those actors were Adal Ramones, Manuel "El Loco" Valdés and Rafael Inclán. However, none of these actors voiced Shrek in the final film, being the Mexican voice actor Alfonso Obregón who voiced Shrek ever since the first film.
