[edit] Trivia
- Shrek the Third will be the first Mike Myers film to be released by Paramount Pictures since 1993's Wayne's World 2.
- Shrek the Third was originally to be released in Winter 2006.
- On a 2004 episode of NBC's failed TV show Father of the Pride, Donkey was featured, stating that Shrek 3 will come out in 2006.
- The movie coincidentally features five actors from NBC's Saturday Night Live. Two actors are currently on the show, while three were previous cast members. The actors are Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cheri Oteri, Amy Poehler, and Maya Rudolph. Also coincidentally, the aforementioned Wayne's World 2 and its prequel were based off an SNL sketch.
- Shrek the Third reunites two members from the Monty Python troupe, John Cleese and Eric Idle. Cleese will be reprising his role as King Harold, while Idle will provide his voice for the new character Merlin The Magician.
- The band Smash Mouth recorded a special recording of Artie's Dance.
- The website has been slightly updated. It is the same except now Shrek is wearing a very small crown on his head, like in the teaser poster.
- The title Shrek the Third was used to avoid confusion between Shrek 3D and Shrek 3
