Continuity mistake: In the scene immediately following Fiona's thrashing of Robin Hood and his Merry Men, Shrek is holding Donkey and they are staring at Fiona in disbelief. When Shrek drops Donkey and turns to follow Fiona, you can see his entire backside and it's unpierced. In the next scene, Fiona discovers an arrow in his rump that wasn't there before. (00:53:18)

Its a very good film i.love shrek.
9.5/10. A great movie for the whole family. Just taking fairy tales and turning them upside down was a great idea. I'd say this is among 100 movies people should see before they die. Kids will love it as will their parents.
So weird.

Question: In a movie with talking ogres, pigs, mice, wolves, and all sorts of animals, why is everyone so surprised to find a talking donkey?
Chosen answer: Who is "everyone"? The only person surprised he can talk is the one human who is processing the fairytale creatures for banishment, and this was used as a plot device to highlight a joke (between him flying and talking).

Fiona also says "it talks", after he "saves his ass."
To be fair, she was locked in a castle for the majority of her life, so she wouldn't know that donkeys would be able to talk.
And yet he wasn't the only one surprised by it; watch the scene again and Fiona was surprised, too.
