The first version of Shrek was made 6 years before
Shrek may burp, swear and violate morals, but at his core he is a loving teddy bear. A completely different, more dark version of the green ogre (original voice in the film: Mike Myers) was planned in the 90s. After many years there is now one 38 second video for the original version surfaced. The original Shrek version turned the hero into a fantasy nightmare

Work on Shrek began in 1995. In the meantime, an animation company called Zoom Art Studios was involved and produced test material for the film. The complete recordings were considered lost for a long time, but can now be found on YouTube. The 38 second version of the video was recently released for the first time.

Shrek was originally planned as a dark, provocative low budget film“, says the description of the video. The differences are immediately recognizable. Even if it is not a fully animated version for the cinema, many fans will shudder at the hero’s gaunt figure and grotesque facial features.

As Screen Rant points out, it seems questionable whether the original design would have created a similarly successful franchise. At least fantasy fans can now look forward to Shrek 5.
