4	----
5	* In the party scene, Shrek does his famous roar. It impressed all the party-goers.
6	* Thanks to Shrek's heroics in [[WesternAnimation/Shrek1 the first movie]], he unknowingly stopped Fiona's parents making a deal with Rumpelstiltskin in the beginning which ''would've'' killed them and had given the latter '''absolute''' power...only for a messenger to stop the deal after word got out that Fiona is now safe, [[JustInTime just before they were about to sign the contract]]. The king and queen's response? [[LaserGuidedKarma Tear up the contract and leave the bastard in the dust.]]
7	* An understated one for Pinocchio in the bookstore when meeting Rumpelstiltskin. Unlike in prior movies where he tried to [[BecomeARealBoy pass himself off as a real boy or openly desired to be one]], he casually corrects Rumpelstiltskin that he's not a real boy, [[IAmWhatIAm appearing comfortable with his puppet body by then]]. And when he [[DealWithTheDevil asks if Pinocchio wants to be one]], the living puppet [[LiteralAssKicking kicks him]] [[DestinationDefenestration out of the bookstore]] with some choice words before slamming the door:
8	-->"No one needs ''your'' deals anymore, [[MaliciousMisnaming Mr. Grumpelstinkypants!]]"
9	* The way Shrek and Donkey escape Rumpel's palace on one of the witches' brooms. Shrek grabs the chain of a ball, swings it around, smashes through the window and covers it with the ball to prevent the witches from chasing him out!
10	* The alternate Princess Fiona. Before she led the ogre rebellion against Rumpelstilskin, her {{offscreen moment of awesome}} reveals that after waiting so long for a prince to come, she eventually just rescued herself.
11	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The Piper's "Shake Your Groove Thing" sequence. Whatever your opinion is of this movie, seeing the Ogres, Shrek, and Fiona dancing to that is this.
12	* While Shrek earlier states that he would have liked to take back the day he met Donkey when talking with Rumpelstiltskin, he winds up being key to helping Shrek in his quest.
13	** Not only did he know (or at least know of) the secret to revealing the CurseEscapeClause on the contract, but back when they first met he was the only one who A: knew where Lord Farquaad lived, and B: was willing to show Shrek the way since [[HeroWithBadPublicity all the other fairy tale creatures were scared of him at that time]].
14	*** There's also something oddly satisfying about Donkey [[WhatTheHellHero getting up in Shrek's face]] to tell him what a bad idea it was to make any deal in the first place (kudos to [[Creator/EddieMurphy Eddie Murphy]] for [[SugarWiki/HeReallyCanAct a flawless deliverance of the line]]):
15	--->'''Donkey:''' You should ''never'' sign a contract with Rumpelstiltskin!
16	* After TrueLovesKiss fails to break the curse (since Fiona doesn't love him), Shrek decides to do what he can to help Fiona with [[RaceAgainstTheClock what little time he has left]]. After discovering from Gingy that Rumpelstiltskin is offering "[[MakeAWish The Deal of a Lifetime]]" for the person who brings him in, the ogre [[ExactWords walks right]] [[ISurrenderSuckers into his throne room]]:
17	-->'''Shrek:''' Stiltskin! I hear you're looking for me.\
18	'''Rumpelstiltskin:''' Alright! Finally! Who turned him in? [[TemptingFate Who gets the Deal of a Lifetime?]]\
19	'''Shrek:''' ''(takes contract)'' ''I'' do.\
20	'''Rumpelstiltskin:''' [[FlatWhat What?]] But...\
21	'''Shrek:''' Well, if I'm turning ''myself'' in, ''I'' get The Deal of a Lifetime. ''(Shrek clears Rumpel's table and takes a feather from Fifi and dips it with magic ink)'' That means ''you'' [[{{Wishplosion}} have to give me anything I want]].\
22	'''Rumpelstiltskin:''' [[RapidFireNo No, no, no, no!]] Only true love's kiss can break your contract! So, if you thought you were just gonna "do-do-do-do-do" in here and get your life back...!\
23	'''Shrek:''' I'm not here to get my life back.\
24	'''Rumpelstiltskin:''' Then what ''do'' you want?
25	** His wish: free all the ogres [[HeroicSacrifice and take their place as prisoner]]. Yet, Rumpel was befuddled about his decision, while Fiona, still imprisoned due to being cursed, thought [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments he did the right thing]].
26	-->'''Fiona:''' That was a really brave thing you did, Shrek.
27	* The climax:
28	** Donkey gets a EurekaMoment when staring at an ogre's shield, the orges disguise themselves as a giant chandelier ball to get into the palace.
29	** Puss is among the team; [[BackInTheSaddle donning]] his hat, cape, sword, '''''and''''' boots again.
30	** During the battle, Cookie uses his [[ChekhovsGun chimichanga stand]] as a catapult, with his chimichangas [[AbnormalAmmo as ammunition]].
31	-->'''Cookie:''' Get 'em while they're hot!
32	** Shrek and Fiona subdue Dragon through ChekhovsSkill:
33	-->'''Shrek:''' The dragon goes under the bridge...\
34	'''Fiona:''' ...through the loop...\
35	'''Shrek:''' ...and finally...\
36	'''Both:''' ...into the castle!
37	** Before Stiltskin could make his getaway on Fifi, Shrek uses one of the shackles to snag one of Fifi's legs so he and Fiona are brought back up, then Shrek yanks the chain, bringing Rumpel to plummet and get caught by Fiona in terror.
38	-->'''Fiona:''' Victory is ours!
39	** And the victory is secured a bit later, after Shrek and Fiona kiss for real. The twisted world of Rumpel collapses upon itself.
