Easter egg: On disc 2, highlight Play and click up and Enter. It shows a music video.
Easter egg: In the DVD Menu, go to "Extras." This menu should have the Gingerbread Man on it. Move around and hit right to select the Gumdrop buttons. You can now see various bits of trivia from the production of "Shrek." This easter egg is found only in the Region 1 DVD.
Continuity mistake: Sometimes Shrek's front door opens outwards, at other times inwards, yet it can't be "two-way" because whenever it closes, it slams against the frame. (00:10:55 - 00:13:45)
Pinocchio: I'm not a puppet, I'm a real boy!
Captain of Guards: Five shillings for the possessed toy. Take it away.
Question: In theatrical trailers, when the dwarves put Snow White on Shrek's table, he says "Dead girl off the table." In the real movie, however, "girl" becomes "broad", according to the subtitles. Is there a reason why?
Answer: Broad is just a slang word meaning Woman. It was historically a bad word, but now it's not.

Chosen answer: This is most likely because "broad" isn't too nice of a word, and children of any age could watch the trailer. Parents wouldn't want their children to copy inapropriate language, obviously.
