Well, I thought "Lord Farquaad" was pushing the limits just a little. And then there's...
He was the baddie. If he was the nice guy then we wouldn't have a story. Even I understood that one.
about Snow White
Magic Mirror: She lives with seven men, but she's not easy.
Nothing you don't hear on daytime television either side of the pond. Indeed you hear worse things on kid's soaps.
(re: the very tall castle.)
Shrek: Do you think he's compensating for something?
(the singing welcome to Duloc)
Please....Keep off the grass, shine your shoes, wash your.....face!
There's a story behind this. The producer of Shrek used to work for Disney until he walked out after a heated argument. The film is full of jibes at the Disney empire - including the Magic Kingdom castle and 'It's a small world'. Note also the name of the 'car park' in the grounds of Duloc and the guy wearing the large head at the entrance - all Disney references. Duloc is also an acronym. Can you guess what it stands for?
In the scene when Lord Farquaad is watching the "video" of Fiona on the magic mirror while sitting in bed, if you look closely (just before he smiles and looks at the camera) you can see the blanket covering his lap rise up slightly.
After five viewings I can't say that I noticed (although maybe I just wasn't looking). Farquaad was a little guy. Perhaps it was his knee? I'm sure that the animators wouldn't be that crass.
And I'm sure there's something rude about the dragon and the donkey.
Your imagination runneth riot. It was meant to symbolise love crossing many boundaries - just like Shrek and Fiona. Are you deliberately looking for faults where there aren't any to be found?
