Mike Myers described the initial pitch for Shrek as an "absolute disaster," highlighting the awkwardness of meeting Jeffrey Katzenberg after the premiere of Saving Private Ryan.
Myers remarked on how the original title for Shrek was terrible, saying, "Well, that's the worst f**king title I've ever heard in my life," reflecting on his initial skepticism.
He praised the film for its innovative approach to fairy tales, stating, "I thought that was really, really smart. The fairy tale is a Eurocentric form... it can be more inventive and inclusive."
Myers also noted the significance of including an African American voice in Donkey, calling it "brilliant" for its ability to diversify the traditional fairy tale narrative.
