4	----
5	* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: The animators put a "Sir Justin" poster over Fiona's bed, not realising Creator/CameronDiaz was actually dating Music/JustinTimberlake in real life!
6	* ApprovalOfGod: Music/DavidBowie loved Butterfly Boucher's cover of his song [[Music/HunkyDory "Changes"]] for the movie, and happily recorded backing vocals for it.
7	* BillingDisplacement: Following the three returning leads (Creator/MikeMyers, Creator/EddieMurphy and Creator/CameronDiaz), the rest of the main cast is billed alphabetically by last name: Creator/JulieAndrews, Creator/AntonioBanderas, Creator/JohnCleese, Creator/RupertEverett and Creator/JenniferSaunders. Of the five characters, Julie Andrews as the Queen is definitely the smallest role.
8	* {{Blooper}}:
9	** When Fiona knocks out Prince Charming with a headbutt, he's seen moments later perfectly fine throwing the Fairy Godmother's wand back to her. You could argue that he recovered quickly, but then the next time we see him a few minutes later during the DancePartyEnding, he's seen looking around confused, as if just getting up from the headbutt, not to mention [[AngstWhatAngst showing no reaction]] to [[spoiler: his mother's death.]]
10	** When performing "Holding Out for a Hero," the Fairy Godmother tells the pianist "C minor, put it in C minor." The song, however, is actually played in G minor.
11	* TheCastShowoff: Creator/JenniferSaunders' comedic singing is put to good use.
12	* CelebrityVoiceActor:
13	** Creator/MikeMyers, Creator/EddieMurphy and Creator/CameronDiaz return, while the film adds Creator/AntonioBanderas, Creator/JohnCleese, Creator/JulieAndrews, Creator/JenniferSaunders, Creator/RupertEverett and Creator/LarryKing.
14	** The Brazilian dub brings back comedian Bussunda as the voice of Shrek, and also casts TV show host Pedro Bial as Doris.
15	* CrossDressingVoices: Doris is voiced by Creator/LarryKing. In the Spanish dub, her voice is provided by sports journalist Michael Robinson. In the UK dub, King is replaced by chat show host/comedian Creator/JonathanRoss.
16	* DeletedScene: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkeqbphExds An alternative version of Shrek and Donkey meeting Puss in Boots was storyboared, and recoreded and then re-wrote]]. Although most of the story beats and jokes are in the final film, some things are changed:
17	** Instead of Donkey saying the directions they were given, he immediately says the bush shaped like Shirley Bassey. He would also acknowladge how awful Shrek and Harold shooting little creatures as an activity for his royal blessing.
18	** The argument between Shrek and Donkey was different.
19	** Shrek siting on a rock, looking his reflection on a lagoon, believing he ruined Fiona's life.
20	** Puss was gonna give Shrek the idea of visiting the Fairy Godmother, instead of Shrek using Fairygodmother's card ("Happiness. Just a tear drop away").
21	* DVDCommentary: There's two:
22	** First commentary with directors Kelly Asbury and Conrad Vernon. Andrew Adamson wasn't available because he was busy working on Narnia.
23	** Second commentary with producer Aron Warner and editor Mike Andrews.
24	* KidsMealToy:
25	** In the US, Burger King offered a set of eight toys for the movie. There was also a 12 foot tall Shrek inflatable on the roofs of select Burger King restaurants.
26	** In Australia, Red Rooster released bobbleheads of Shrek, Donkey, Fiona, and Puss in Boots.
27	* MissingTrailerScene: Alternate footage of Prince Charming finding the Big Bad Wolf is seen in the first trailer, with the wolf reading a different magazine (Pork Illustrated in the finished film, The New Porker in the trailer) and also with Prince Charming looking angry when he asks "With whom?".
28	* MultipleLanguagesSameVoiceActor: Creator/AntonioBanderas voices Puss in Boots in English and in both Spanish dubs, Latin American and European. Something interesting is that, while in English he speaks with an overt Spaniard accent, in the Spanish dubs he speaks with a somewhat exaggerated version of his natural accent from his hometown, Málaga, in southern Spain.
29	* TheOtherDarrin: Almost none of the actors reprised their roles for the tie-in game:
30	** Creator/MichaelJGough replaces Creator/MikeMyers as Shrek and Creator/JohnCleese as King Harold.
31	** Creator/MarkMoseley replaces Creator/EddieMurphy as Donkey.
32	** Creator/HollyFields replaces Creator/CameronDiaz as Fiona.
33	** Creator/AndreSogliuzzo replaces Creator/AntonioBanderas as Puss in Boots.
34	** Creator/JamesArnoldTaylor replaces Creator/ConradVernon as Gingy and Creator/RupertEverett as Prince Charming. Oddly enough, he also recorded additional dialogue for the Big Bad Wolf despite said character still having his movie actor (Creator/AaronWarner) credited.
35	** Creator/ClaudiaChristian replaces Creator/JenniferSaunders as the Fairy Godmother.
36	** Creator/MelFair replaces Creator/ChrisMiller as the Magic Mirror.
37	* PlayingAgainstType: In the Japanese dub, the late Creator/UnshoIshizuka, which normally voiced middle-aged or older characters, voiced Prince Charming, which sounds ''much younger'', and almost unrecognizable from such roles, as you can see [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eps_zI-ZztA here]].
38	* RealLifeRelative: In the Danish dub, Queen Lillian and King Harold are voiced by Kirsten Lehfeldt and Stig Hoffmeyer who are the parents of Fiona's voice actress Mille Lehfeldt.
39	* RefittedForSequel: The Fairy Godmother had been down in the cards for the first film, but got cut out.
40	* SameLanguageDub: Similar to a small number of other animated movies, the UK release features minor cameos from UK celebrities. In this case, Creator/JonathanRoss replaces Larry King as the second ugly sister, while Kate Thornton replaces Joan Rivers as the Red Carpet Reporter.
41	* TieInCereal: ''[[https://www.mrbreakfast.com/cereal_detail.asp?id=325 Shrek's Cereal]]'' (''Not Donkey's'') which was released during ''WesternAnimation/Shrek2'''s big promotional takeover throughout 2004.
42	* VoicesInOneRoom: Creator/JohnCleese and Creator/JulieAndrews recorded their lines together.
43	* WhatCouldHaveBeen: [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/{{Shrek}} Shares a page with the rest of the series.]]
44	* WordOfGod: According to the DVD Commentary, Dragon was transformed into a pegasus when Donkey drank the Happily Ever After potion, even though we don't see her in this form onscreen.
