Noodle Incident: When going into hero worship mode of Shrek shortly after Shrek unwittingly saved Donkey's butt from Farquaad's men, Donkey mentions another time before meeting Shrek that he nearly had his nosehairs burned off. However, Shrek tried to muffle his mouth, to no avail. The only thing that was revealed was that it had something to do with eating rotten berries and his undergoing indigestion. Ruder and Cruder: Shrek uses mild profanity, whereas the children's book upon which it's very loosely based had none. Oddly subverted, however, in that the titular character was uglier, meaner, and cruder in the book than in the film. Actor Antonio Banderas, who voices Puss in Boots, originally found it challenging to accept Fiona's unconventional appearance. [91] Banderas believes several audience members experienced a similar struggle watching the film because "We are used to rejecting ugliness without reason". [91] Costume designer Isis Mussenden designed Fiona's costumes for the first two films, helping develop new technology to animate clothing in the then-new computer animation medium. [92] The filmmakers wanted a more realistic approach to costumes than previous computer animated films, in which clothing was typically depicted as a tight layer adorned with a few wrinkles. [92] The filmmakers had envisioned Fiona's velvet gown moving independently from her body, and therefore recruited Mussenden to assist with the process. [92] Mussenden began by creating a one-quarter scale replica of the skirt, and worked with a pattern maker and designer to determine the gown's volume and fullness. [92] The patterns and seams were labeled and forwarded to the animators, who used computers to replicate the images. [92] Mussenden decided to give Fiona's dresses tight sleeves as opposed to the long, flowing sleeves associated with traditional medieval clothing due to the difficulty of animating the latter. [93] Unlike Shrek, Fiona undergoes several costume changes in Shrek 2. To ensure that both Fiona's human and ogre forms look equally flattering in the same green dress, Mussenden lowered its waistline to offer a more medieval appearance than the dress she wears in the first film. [93] Fiona's first costume is a lilac dress, which Mussenden designed to appear "organic and textured, because she's been living in the swamp". Towards the end of the film, she changes into a white ballgown with rhinestones inspired by an image of a 1958 dress the costume designer had found. [93] Fiona: But this isn't right! You were meant to charge in, sword drawn, banner flying. That's what all the other knights did. The Dinnermobile: In a parody of/homage to Cinderella's pumpkin carriage, the end of the movie sees Shrek and Fiona ride away in a carriage that was very obviously an onion prior to transformation.

Canon Foreigner: Shrek, Donkey, Dragon, and Fiona note The princess in the book, while drastically different, still serves as the basis for Fiona's character are the only characters who appeared in the original book. Lord Farquaad and the numerous fairy tale creatures were introduced specifically for the film.Shrek (2001)". Decent Films. 2001. Archived from the original on November 16, 2018 . Retrieved September 25, 2018. Donkey: I don't get it, Shrek. Why didn't you just pull some of that ogre stuff on him? You know, throttle him, lay siege to his fortress, grind his bones to make your bread? You know, the whole ogre trip. Adaptation Expansion: Adapted from a children's book approximately 500 words long; almost nothing in the movie other than the characters of Shrek, Donkey, an ogre princess and a dragon actually came from the book. Large and in Charge: Definitely inverted with Farquaad, who's possibly about a foot shorter than everyone else. The novelisation and screenplay reveal he's four and a half feet tall. Shrek: Maybe you're right. But we'll let you do the "measuring" yourself when you see him tomorrow.

Paper-Thin Disguise: Shrek's knight disguise may look convincing, but it still has some blatant flaws: with the visor of the helmet open, it clearly shows his green forehead. He's also wearing fingerless gloves that expose his green fingers. Yet Fiona doesn't realize he's an ogre until after he takes the helmet off. Big Damn Heroes: Dragon and Donkey save Shrek and Fiona from being captured by Farquaad's guards upon hearing Shrek whistle, Dragon even eating Farquaad for good measure. Cardboard Prison: Invoked; Fiona explains to Donkey that with her martial arts skills she could have escaped the tower and Dragon at any time. In fact, she does that in the fourth movie's Alternate Timeline when Shrek never appears to rescue her. The problem is that it wouldn't solve her actual problem, that she is cursed to become an ogress at night. Only True Love's Kiss can do that, and those tend to come from princes or knights. Hence, she stayed in the hopes of breaking the curse. Beautiful Singing Voice: In a rather vicious parody of Disney Princess conventions, Princess Fiona displays one in a duet with a random songbird...at least until her ability to hold a note causes the bird to explode. She then takes its orphaned eggs and cooks them for breakfast.Sliding Scale of Visuals Versus Dialogue: Definitely tips the scale in favor of dialogue. 90% of the movie is non-stop chatting between characters, even when they're not hitting a story beat. Sliding Scale of Silliness vs. Seriousness: The film zigzags between both ends of the scale. The bulk of the film is a silly comedy that pokes fun at fairy tale clichés. The romance and drama scenes, however, are mostly treated very seriously in stark contrast. From Bad to Worse: Subverted. Donkey runs from the knights after the fairy dust wears off, only to run right into Shrek, who turns around and glares at him. After being scared for a moment, Donkey takes his chance and hides behind Shrek. Shrek: Look, I'm not the one with the problem, okay? It's the world that seems to have a problem with ME! People take one look at me and go "Aargh! Help! Run! A big stupid ugly ogre!" [sighs] They judge me before they even know me - that's why I'm better off alone...

Meslow, Scott (May 2Moment Killer: At the mill, it seems like Shrek and Fiona will have an Almost Kiss, before Donkey pops up between them and remarks on how romantic the atmosphere is.

Silence, You Fool!: Lord Farquaad silences the magic mirror, complete with raised hand. Too bad for Farquaad that the mirror was about to reveal what happens to Fiona after sunset. Sleep Cute: After emerging from the cave in the morning, Fiona looks over at Shrek and Donkey, who are both still asleep like this. Nice Kitty...: When cornered by the dragon, Donkey starts laying on the compliments. It works a little too well. Crash-Into Hello: Downplayed. Donkey, in running away from the guards, ends up running straight into Shrek as he puts up another "Keep Out" sign. They end up becoming friends (through Donkey's persistence) by the end of the film. Shrek later meets Fiona when he crashes through the roof of her tower after being flung by Dragon's tail. Late-Arrival Spoiler: Didn't know Fiona was turned into an ogress? Then don't look at the covers of any of the sequels.

Featured Facts

What You Are in the Dark: When Donkey gets taken away by Dragon, Shrek has the perfect opportunity to leave with Fiona and finally be rid of the Small, Annoying Creature who'd been bothering him up to now. Instead, even though the only witness was Fiona (who had no idea Donkey existed), Shrek goes out of his way to rescue Donkey from Dragon out of gratitude for his help and having warmed up to him by then. The crowd of fairy tale creatures does this when they appear in Shrek's swamp, having somehow appeared in the swamp and in Shrek's house without Shrek noticing until he hears his door creak open. Donkey mentioning to Shrek early on that only a true friend would use Brutal Honesty towards him. By the end of the film, and after a bit of arguing, they make up and reaffirm a friendship. Exact Words: Fiona's curse states that she will "take love's true form" when she finds her true love. She takes this to mean that she will become a human full time, but it actually causes her to permanently assume the form that her true love — Shrek — finds beautiful, i.e. her ogre form.
