Audio problem: When the Fairy Godmother sings "Holding Out for a Hero" she tells the pianist to 'put it in C minor,' yet the pianist immediately begins to play in G minor, and the rest of the song is sung in that key. (01:08:15)
Shrek 2 (2004)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Conrad Vernon, Kelly Asbury, Andrew Adamson
Starring: Antonio Banderas, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, John Cleese, Rupert Everett, Julie Andrews, Mike Myers, Jennifer Saunders
Fiona thinks Prince Charming is Shrek in human form so she chooses him. Shrek, Donkey, and Puss in Boots crash the ball. When Fairy Godmother goes to shoot Shrek with her wand, King Harold sacrifices himself and turns into his real form: a frog. Meanwhile Fairy Godmother is shot with her own spell and explodes into bubbles, leaving only her broken glasses and wand. Fiona decides she loves Shrek as his ogre-self, the "man" she married. They both turn back into Ogres. Donkey turns back into a real donkey from his stallion form. All end up happy, and Shrek and King Harold are harmonious. At the end, everyone sings "Livin' La Vida Loca". Also, after the credits, there is an extra ending which explains why the dragon does not appear in this story at all. It turns out she has had little donkey-dragon babies and as donkey says 'Look at the little mutant babies!'

Gingerbread Man: Fire up the ovens, Muffin Man! We got a big order to fill.
Trivia: A little foreshadowing - when the King first goes to the Poison Apple pub, a frog with ruby red lips asks him if she has met him before.
Question: If I remember correctly, in the trailer the magazine that the Wolf was reading was called "The New Porker" or something similar. Any reason why it was changed to "Pork Illustrated" in the final film?

Answer: The gag is that the wolf has developed a peculiar sexual fetish: he wears women's clothing for fun and is attracted to pigs. The magazine was changed for the trailer to be less suggestive (and thus to make the trailer G-rated).
