Why We Love 'Shrek'-- Part 1

From the May 16, 2021, Parade Magazine.

Twenty years ago, on May 18, 2001, the animated film "Shrek" introduced us to an ornery green ogre (Mike Myers), his wisecracking donkey (Eddie Murphy) and their quest to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz).  In honor of this milestone anniversary, here are some fun facts about one of our favorite fractured fairy tales.

(Remember "Fractured Fairytales " on the "Rocky & Bullwinkle Show" with Mr. Peabody and his boy Sherman.)

**  Mike Myers replaced Chris Farley, who died in 1997 before he finished voicing Shrek's dialogue.  Myers originally recorded Shrek in his normal voice but later switched to a Scottish accent.

It cost $4 million to do all the rerecording.

Well, Glad They Did.  --CootDonkey
