 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Shrek 2 .
| What was wrong with Donkey's girlfriend, the dragon, from the first movie? | Shrek 2
|
She was off having babies. One of the best scenes happened after the credits when the dragon showed up with several half-donkey and half-dragon babies.
| What is the name of the giant gingerbread man that helps Shrek to get into the castle? | Shrek 2
|
Mongo. Shrek rides on the shoulder of this giant as they storm the castle. Sadly, Mongo seems to meet his end in the moat around the castle. There is a scene stolen from "E.T." when Mongo tells the regular sized gingerbread man to "be good".
| What is the name of the potion that Shrek and Donkey drink after they have stolen it from Fairy Godmother? | Shrek 2
|
Happily Ever After. Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boot steal this potion from Fairy Godmother's magic factory. The workers in the factory were very reminiscent of the Oompa Loompas from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".
| What is the name of the city that Fiona's parents live in? | Shrek 2
|
Far Far Away. This city is supposed to be the fairy tale version of Los Angeles. The animators even altered the signature Hollywood sign on the hill.
| Who provides the vocal talents for Puss in Boots? | Shrek 2
|
Antonio Banderas. Banderas was not in "Shrek" but after his performance I am sure that he will be in "Shrek 3".
| Why are Shrek and Donkey in the woods when they meet Puss in Boots? | Shrek 2
|
King Harold had asked Shrek to go hunting. Fiona's father had paid Puss in Boots to 'take care of' Shrek. He then asked Shrek to join him for a hunt in the woods. Shrek agreed, in an effort to smooth things over with his new father-in-law.
| Who provides the vocal talents for Fiona's father (King Harold)? | Shrek 2
|
John Cleese. Cleese, the former Monty Python member, brilliantly voices Fiona's father, who is hiding a secret himself.
| When does "Shrek 2" take place in relation to "Shrek"? | Shrek 2
|
Immediately after. The movie starts out showing Shrek and Fiona's honeymoon and is about their trip to meet Fiona's parents.
| When the magic mirror (which is acting as a television) shows Shrek, Donkey and Puss being chased, what is written on the trucks, hot-air balloons etc.? | "Shrek 2" Pointless Knowledge
|
FFAPD. FFAPD stands for "Far Far Away Police Department". Their trucks were the same color as SWAT ones (blue and white). The show is called "Knights", which is making fun of the real show "Cops".
a mushroom. After a while, it starts raining, so Shrek, Donkey and Puss leave, but behind them, the mushroom with the snot on it becomes a rose.
| When the Fairy Godmother's carriage arrives at the fast food restaurant, what does Charming order (it is the equivalent of a McDonald's Happy Meal)? | "Shrek 2" Pointless Knowledge
|
Medieval Meal. The Fairy Godmother orders a Renaissance Wrap and Charming has the Medieval Meal, which came with a toy axe and a paper crown. It's pretty funny to see him playing like a kid when he's a grown man.
| At night, the King goes to an inn to find somebody who could take care of an ogre. When he is waiting at the bar, what kind of talking animal seems to recognize the King? | "Shrek 2" Pointless Knowledge
|
a frog. The frog, which is a female, asks the King if they have not met before, but the King answers "No, you must mistake me for somebody else." Later on, we realize that the King is actually a frog too.
| When Shrek is in bed with Fiona (who is asleep), he rolls around and notices a poster directly above him. Who was on the poster? | "Shrek 2" Pointless Knowledge
|
Sir Justin. On the poster there is an image of "Sir Justin", which makes fun of Justin Timberlake, and underneath are written the words "Sir Justin".
Kyle. We first see Kyle when the Fairy Godmother visits Fiona for the first time, because Kyle participates in the show with dancing furniture although he doesn't say anything.
| When the messenger from Far Far Away arrives at the swamp, what is the name of the trumpetist who goes on playing after everybody was supposed to stop? | "Shrek 2" Pointless Knowledge
|
Reggie. When Reggie keeps on playing, the messenger hits him in the back of the head and says: "Enough, Reggie!"
Donkey. According to Donkey, he was there to take care of the house, but Shrek sees that he did not sort the mail and did not water the plants and let the fish die.
| What was the secret that Fairy Godmother used to control the King? | Shrek 2
|
he was a frog. Fairy Godmother wanted the King to slip Fiona a potion that would make her fall in love with the first person that she kissed. When the King expressed reluctance to do this, Fairy Godmother menacingly reminded him that she had helped him achieve his 'happily ever after'. The King decided not to manipulate his daughter like that, and ended up being turned back into a frog when he jumped in front of a blast from Fairy Godmother's wand.
| What kind of underwear was Pinocchio wearing? | Shrek 2
|
a thong. They needed Pinocchio's nose to grow so that the Gingerbread Man could run down the nose and help their friends escape, so they told him to tell a lie. When he couldn't think of a lie to tell they told him to say that he was wearing women's underwear. When this didn't cause his nose to grow, they figured out that he really was wearing women's underwear. Eventually the Gingerbread Man looked and announced that Pinocchio was wearing a thong.
| When Shrek, Donkey and Puss In Boots are arrested by the FFAPD (the Far, Far Away Police Department), what do the knights find on Puss In Boots when they pat him down? | Shrek 2
|
a little bag of catnip. This scene is absolutely hysterical. After the knight pulls out the bag and says 'Yep, that's catnip.' Puss In Boots says 'Um, that's not mine.' Afterwards, when they have our friends in the back of a paddy wagon-like vehicle they 'spray' Shrek with pepper from a pepper mill.
| How does one summon the Fairy Godmother? | Shrek 2
|
with a tear. Fairy Godmother first appeared to Fiona after she was crying. When Shrek wanted to get hold of her to find a way to make himself more attractive to Fiona, Donkey worked up a tear and let it fall on Fairy Godmother's business card.
| Who said, 'The position of annoying talking animal has already been filled.'? | Shrek 2
|
Donkey. After Puss In Boots makes an unsuccessful attempt to dispose of Shrek, he begs forgiveness and asks for the opportunity to help Shrek, to repay his mistake. Shrek is quite taken with Puss In Boots, but Donkey is very jealous and raises a few objections.
| What was the name of the Inn where we meet Puss In Boots? | Shrek 2
|
The Poison Apple. This scene is a parody of the scene from 'The Fellowship of the Ring', when the hobbits arrive at The Prancing Pony. The signs for both establishments are shown in exactly the same way. Also, our initial introduction to Puss In Boots is not unlike our initial introduction to Aragorn, or Strider, as he is known at The Prancing Pony.
| Who hired Puss In Boots to dispose of Shrek? | Shrek 2
|
The King. The King was not thrilled about the idea of his daughter marrying an ogre and living in a swamp. He hired Puss In Boots to eliminate Shrek, so that his daughter could live a more normal life. The King also had an arrangement with Fairy Godmother for Prince Charming to marry Fiona, but we don't know about that at this point.
| Who provided the voice for Fiona's mother, the Queen? | Shrek 2
|
Julie Andrews. Ms. Andrews is no stranger to playing royalty, having played, or given voice to royal figures three times before 'Shrek 2'. Her first role ever was to provide the voice of Princess Zeila in 'La Rosa di Bagdad' (1949). Then in 1957 she portrayed Cinderella in a television special. In 2001 she played Queen Clarisse Renaldi in 'The Princess Diaries'.
| Who did Prince Charming find sleeping in the bed where he expected to find Fiona? | Shrek 2
|
The Big Bad Wolf. The movie opens with Prince Charming telling the fairy tale story about Fiona's rescue, with himself in the role of the rescuer. When it comes to the part where he is supposed to deliver the kiss that will break the curse, he pulls back the bed curtains to find the Big Bad Wolf, who tells him that Fiona is off on her honeymoon. Later on Charming relates the experience, complaining that he found a 'gender confused wolf' instead of the princess he felt he was entitled to.
| What song do Donkey and Puss 'N Boots sing on stage at the ball, after Shrek and Fiona are reunited as ogre and wife? | More "Shrek 2"
|
Livin' La Vida Loca. "Livin' La Vida Loco" was written by Desmond Child and Robi Rosa, and was originally a hit for Ricky Martin. Eddie Murphy and Antonio Banderas do a fine rendition of it.
| Who delivers the memorable line "up chocolate creek without a Popsicle stick"? | More "Shrek 2"
|
Gingerbread Man. This line is delivered just after Shrek and friends are rescued from the dungeon, and before they concoct the plan to bake Mongo, the huge Gingerbread Man who helps them gain access to the castle where Shrek can find Fiona.
Conrad Vernon provides the voice of the Gingerbread Man, as well as the voices of Cedric, the Announcer, the Muffin Man and Mongo.
| After Shrek takes the 'Happily Ever After Potion' (which turns him into a handsome hunk, and Fiona back into a human), how long does he have to make the change permanent? | More "Shrek 2"
|
until midnight. Shrek has to kiss his true love by midnight for the transformation to be permanent. Of course this is going to be difficult, because Shrek, Donkey and Puss 'N Boots are chained in the dungeon, and Prince Charming is dancing with Fiona and pretending to be Shrek.
| When the King is in The Poison Apple, what kind of talking creature, sitting on a stool at the bar, recognizes him? | More "Shrek 2"
|
a frog. The King brushes off the greeting, on his way to see Puss 'N Boots, but the reason for this does not become clear until the end of the movie. Then we learn that the King used to be a frog, before the Fairy Godmother helped him with his 'Happily Ever After'. Wendy Bilanski provides the voice of the bar frog. Antonio Banderas did an amazing job of providing the voice for Puss 'N Boots.
| When the king goes to The Poison Apple to find someone who can help him get rid of Shrek, who does he ask to speak to? | More "Shrek 2"
|
The Ugly Stepsister. The King asks the bartender where he can find the Ugly Stepsister. The bartender then identifies himself as the very same, and directs him to the room where Puss 'N Boots is waiting. Although dressed as a woman, the Ugly Stepsister is unquestionably a man, and is voiced by Larry King.
| During dinner with the King and Queen, Shrek chokes on a spoon, which he thankfully manages to cough back up. What event caused him to choke on his spoon in the first place? | More "Shrek 2"
|
there was talk about Shrek and Fiona having children. The King choked over the thought of what his grandchildren would look like, with ogres as parents, but the newly married Shrek was just terrified at the thought of having children at all.
