Did You Know Movies: Shrek, the F*** You to Walt Disney (2015x13)

:

Shrek, the hilarious ogre that took the world by storm back in 2001, actually has some pretty dark roots. Though Shrek may seem like a fun-loving romp to rescue classic fairy tale characters, the movie was actually a big screw you to Disney. From a 4 million dollar reshoot to a last-minute recasting, Shrek was almost a VERY different movie from the one you remember today.
