Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Before Mike Myers was selected to perform the voice of Shrek, what other 'Saturday Night Live' performer was originally cast as Shrek?

Answer: Chris Farley

Chris Farley was originally cast as Shrek. He even recorded the dialogue. After his death, the role was given to fellow SNL alumnus, Mike Myers.

2. After completing Shrek's dialogue, Mike Myers decided to give Shrek a Scottish accent. The studio agreed, and spent {$_____} to re-animate Shrek with the new dialogue.

Answer: 4,000,000

After Mike Myers completed his dialogue and Shrek's animation was being completed, Myers decided he wanted to give Shrek a Scottish accent. After hearing a demo, the studio obliged, and an extra four million dollars was spent to reanimate Shrek with the new dialogue.

3. At the beginning of the movie, Shrek smiles in a mirror, which then cracks. To what other Mike Myers' movie character does this happen?

Answer: Austin Powers

In 'Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me'.

4. Mike Myers (Shrek) and Eddie Murphy (Donkey) are both SNL alumni. True or false: 'Shrek' was the tenth movie made starring more than one former or current SNL castmember.

Answer: False

There were dozens of such movies by the time of 'Shrek' 's release. Not only ones based off of SNL sketches, but also non-SNL-related movies, e.g., 'Vacation' starred Chevy Chase and Anthony Michael Hall, 'Chaplin' starred Robert Downey Jr. and Dan Aykroyd.

5. Besides the Magic Mirror, what other fairy tale character is seen in Lord Farquaad's bedchamber?

Answer: Mama Bear

On the dark side, a skinned Mama Bear is lying on the floor. Previously, Papa Bear was comforting Baby Bear in front of Shrek's home. Now we know why he was upset. 8-(

6. To whom did Mike Myers read opposite while recording the climatic love scene?

Answer: Robin, his wife

His true love. 8-) FYI, Madonna is a friend of Mike Myers, appearing in his 'Wayne's World' sketches on SNL. Lara Flynn Boyle played Wayne's ex-girlfriend in the first 'Wayne's World' movie. And of course, Cameron Diaz was the voice of Princess Fiona in this movie.

7. As of its release, what distinction did 'Shrek' have amongst computer-animated movies?

Answer: most unique locations

'Shrek' had 36 unique scenes. FYI, 'Toy Story 2' had the most number of animated particles by computer for its scene with Woody and Wheezy on the bookshelf (dust). 'Toy Story' had its sequel made before 'Shrek' was released. And most movies have fictional plots.

8. What does the Gingerbread Man curse at Lord Farquaad in the torture chamber?

Answer: Eat Me!

The movie was full of suggestive language, which is why it has a PG rating rather than G. (Like Shrek saying, 'I have to save my ass,' when he had to save Donkey from the dragon.)

9. According to Shrek, why are ogres like onions?

Answer: they both have layers

'End of story. Bye-bye. See you later.'

10. What group performs both the opening credits song and the remake of The Monkees' 'I'm a Believer'?

Answer: Smash Mouth

Their song 'All Star' is played while Shrek goes about his daily chores, bathing, fishing, cooking, and scaring the heck out of angry villagers.
