Reddit fans shared a compact two-minute reel that sketches Shrek as it might have appeared in a 1996 storyboard. The initial concept cast the ogre as a swamp-dweller with crooked teeth, a far cry from the familiar green hero we know. The sketch even echoes the Grinch vibe, reminding viewers how far the character would travel from rough edges to a lovable icon over time.
Before Shrek found its final voice, the project leaned on a different star. In the early stages, the title character spoke in the voice of Chris Farley, a comedian renowned for his work in Beverly Hills Ninja. After Farley’s untimely passing in 1997, the team pivoted, passing the role to Mike Myers, whose unique take shaped the film’s enduring humor and personality.
In the years since, Shrek has marked anniversaries with new releases and remasters. The franchise celebrated its 20th birthday with a fresh 4K edition of the original film, giving audiences a sharper look at the beloved world. Recently, Mike Myers expressed interest in revisiting the ogre’s voice, teasing a potential return to the character that defined a generation of animated comedy. At the same time, indie curiosity in quirky internet lore keeps surfacing—one notable example being a playful game concept about a squirrel wielding a human gun, which earned a Steam page and sparked conversations about mashups and reinterpretations of familiar stories.
