Film 854: Shrek Forever After

Trivia: At the very beginning of the movie, the sign for the trailer park where Rumpelstiltskin lives has the inscription "Abandon all hope ye who enter here", which is what is said to be on the gates of Hell, according to the English translation of Dante Alighieri's 'The Divine Comedy'.

As the head of story, Walt Dohrn would perform all the voices during storyboard meetings. No other actors came close to matching the voice he had come up with for Rumpelstiltskin and so he was cast.

The flute solos played by the Pied Piper we're played by Jeremy Steig, a well-known jazz flutist. He is also the son of William Steig, the author of the original Shrek books.
