@@originalJoeKingactually that was going to be the original voice for Shrek, but Mike later felt unsatisfied and came back suggesting the accent to make Shrek more interesting
$4 million well spent That’s how much cost to re record the lines in the Scottish accent. It paid off since since the Shrek franchise is one of the most successful in the movie history. It spawned three sequels and several spin-offs
I’m so glad Shrek didn’t have an american accent. It would’ve been the same boring, characterless, soulless shit that would’ve blended in with the rest of trash tv nowadays and just faded away. Shrek’s voice is very unique and perfect for the character.
