Audio problem: When the Fairy Godmother sings "Holding Out for a Hero" she tells the pianist to 'put it in C minor,' yet the pianist immediately begins to play in G minor, and the rest of the song is sung in that key. (01:08:15)

9.7/10. A sequel that surpasses its predecessor. I liked how it took its cue from "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner." The character of Shrek honestly seems like a real person. He has his faults, prejudices, and is insecure. This connects with the audience such as people like myself. I like how he sacrifices for Fiona showing how far he's willing to go for someone. This is again just like anyone in real life would do. It's well done, easily a classic.Kids and adults will always love this one. It's a masterpiece.
Puss-in-Boots: Fear me, if you dare.

Trivia: In the Fairy Godmother's workshop when Shrek dumps the cauldron of potion over the employees, two of them are transformed into Lumierre and Cogsworth from "Beauty and the Beast" (1991).
Question: If I remember correctly, in the trailer the magazine that the Wolf was reading was called "The New Porker" or something similar. Any reason why it was changed to "Pork Illustrated" in the final film?

Answer: The gag is that the wolf has developed a peculiar sexual fetish: he wears women's clothing for fun and is attracted to pigs. The magazine was changed for the trailer to be less suggestive (and thus to make the trailer G-rated).
