Chris Farley as Shrek

💡 Did You Know?

This version of the scene and the one seen in Shrek (2001) are mostly similar, with the major difference being that the motivation of Chris Farley's Shrek for taking on rescuing Princess Fiona is that he wants his own home to prove himself to his parents. Despite the script being heavily rewritten following the death of Farley and casting of Mike Myers as Shrek in his place, some of Eddie Murphy's recorded dialogue as Donkey was retained for the final version.
