Frequently Asked Questions

Who was originally cast as Shrek before Mike Myers?

Chris Farley was the original voice of Shrek and recorded roughly 80–90% of his dialogue before his death in December 1997. DreamWorks then recast Mike Myers, who initially used a standard accent before requesting to redo all lines in Scottish, costing the studio an extra $4 million.

Why does Shrek have a Scottish accent?

Mike Myers felt a Scottish accent better suited Shrek's working-class personality. He had already recorded the whole film in a standard North American accent but convinced DreamWorks to let him re-record everything, costing roughly $4 million extra in re-animation.

How much has the Shrek franchise earned in total?

The franchise has grossed over $3.5 billion at the worldwide box office across six films. Shrek 2 (2004) holds the record at $928 million, and a fifth mainline Shrek film has been announced for 2026.
