The original creator of Shrek and the author of that book only got $500k for giving up the rights to the character to Dreamworks. He definitely got the short end of that deal. Another interesting fact, Chris Farley was the original voice actor to play Shrek and there is even some concept art with some of his voiceover work out there and the art style is definitely more reminiscent of the storybook that the original author had illustrated.

[@kingofspadesssk]

That's amazing I never knew that thank u

And didn't the original creator of Shriek die? So his original story will be in the public domain much sooner 😅

500,000$? That sounds like a pretty decent payout. What's wrong with that?

He wasn’t just reanimated, but re-voiced since Chris Farley had died before they finished production.

[@cyber-thundr_]

Shrek is a movie that takes 4 1/2 years to make, due to the crew overwhelmingly trying to find the right actor to play as Shrek. While the animation of the movie is complete, Chris Farley was originally the voice of Shrek. He did record half of the lines but then he died in 1997. Later after his death, they requested Robin Williams to do the voice. But because of the fact that one of the founders of Dreamworks was the same guy who worked at Disney in 1990’s, working with that guy during the making of Aladdin was the LAST thing Robin Williams will do.

But In the original kids book the donkey didn't talk, and the princess want an ogre. And in puss and boots tlw shreck was nowhere to be seen. So there is a Shrek multiverse!!! The shrek-verse if you will.

[@Theonlyoneandlonely]

There is also a Thomas-verse since RWS and the TV series are different too

During development of Shrek 2, Dama Fortuna was based on the witch from the original kids book, eventually replaced by Fairy Godmother.

It's like they took Cinderella and made it into a movie. They took Pinocchio and made it to a movie. And maybe they're gonna do a live action. Shrek movie like it did to Cinderella. The little mermaid who knows and and they've been doing so much to to make it realistic and stuff. Actual people to play these parts. And they're doing a live action Moana movie. The Rock actually pit plays Maui. He voiced him in the cartoon. And now he's now he's actually playing Cam.

Steven Spielberg bought the rights to Shrek! In 1991 planning on making an animated movie, eventually he brought the rights to DreamWorks in 1994 to make it a reality. Shrek the movie released in 2001, and had been in production for 4 and a half years beforehand. Everything fits.

& another thing, Shrek originally had an design that looked similar to the one on/in the 1990 book

[@cxireen2193]

I always wondered if Shrek was the Ogre from The Flea. Every character like Pinocchio and Gingy are from original fairy tales. I assumed the vest that Shrek wears is the skin of that Flea. Because i don't know of an animal in the forest where Shrek lives that has skin like that.

Its because the creator of the movie liked the book alot so he decided to make a movie about, and there was also a pilot for the movie, actually more of a test animation that looks more like the book shrek
