Continuity: When the door to Shrek's house is first opened (just after the honeymoon), it opens into the house. Every other time it opens to the outside. It's not a two-way door, because you can hear it hit the doorframe.

Other: This is a UK/US vocal talent variation. In the UK version the voice of the Ugly Stepsister is that of UK TV/Radio Presenter Jonathan Ross yet the vocal talents are credited as CNN talk show host Larry King. Also, the voice of the Red Carpet Reporter is none other than UK Pop Idol Extra presenter Kate Thornton, yet again, the voice is credited as Hollywood reporter Joan Rivers, whom the physical appearance of the character is based on.

Continuity: When Shrek is transformed into an attractive human, his clothes are ill fitting. Princess Fiona wakes up and looks in the mirror and screams because she sees herself as a human. Fiona's dress fits perfectly in spite of her changed size.

Continuity: Puss saves the Gingerbread Man from drowning in the castle's moat by catching him with his sword, however, he is on Donkey's back and the drawbridge is a couple of meters above the water. So the sword would have to have been 2-3 meters long to get down to the Gingerbread Man.

Continuity: During the first night in the castle, Shrek walks to the door of their room and his ears wilt. In the following pan shot to the king's balcony, his ears are standing up again. There is no time in which he could have voluntarily changed them.

Continuity: Fiona enters the study while her parents are drinking tea to tell them she's leaving. The doors are both wide open behind her and the hallway is completely clear.

Other: In the scene where Shrek wakes up to find himself human in the barn, Puss is holding the potion bottle, reading its disclaimer. What is wrong, is the shadows on the floor (casting behind him) don't match the shadows on his body (casting to the right side).
