Curiosities from my film (VIII)

~ January 19, 2007 at 21:25 (Views: 156 )

In the scene when Fiona is fighting off Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Fiona jumps into the air and freezes in place; the camera pans around her, giving her time to adjust her hair, before she finishes off two attackers in normal time. This is a reference to the movie The Matrix and the "bullet time" effect introduced in it. Fiona's fight with the Merry Men is also reminiscent of Charlie's Angels, in which Cameron Diaz stars.

Curiosities from my film (VII)

In one scene, Fiona sings to the birds and accidentally kills one by singing in an extremely high-pitched tone. This is a parody of Disney princesses, in particular Snow White in an scene of Disney animation classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, who are often shown singing with woodland creatures such as birds.

During the rescuing of Princess Fiona from the dragon, when Shrek says, "Well, I have to save my ass," (referring to Donkey), there is a cookbook in the background about how to eat a knight.

Curiosities from my film (V)

Earlier in the movie, when the fairy tale creatures invade Shrek's swamp, the Papa Bear and the Baby Bear are there, but the Mama Bear is nowhere to be seen. But after Shrek explained to Donkey why he is better alone, when cutting to Farquaad's bedroom, we see what had happened to Mama Bear - she has been turned into a rug. (However, she manages to show up unharmed in the karaoke music video.)

The character Lord Farquaad was modeled after former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, who fired current DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg from Disney in 1994. That Farquaad is portrayed as being extremely short, despite Eisner being fairly tall, is supposedly because Eisner once made fun of Katzenberg being shorter than him.
