Goofs for Shrek

                     From www.imdb.com

Factual Errors: Lord Farquaad must marry a princess to become a
king. The Magic Mirror offers him three choices: Cinderella, Snow
White, and the movie's Princess Fiona. Cinderella, however, was
not a princess until she married Prince Charming.

Continuity: When Shrek and the donkey are looking at the stars, in
one shot Orion's Belt (three bright stars in a row) is right next
to the moon, but in the next shot of the stars it's not.

Continuity: When Shrek sits to eat his meal he has a slug on the
left-hand side of his plate facing towards him. When he is invaded
by the Three Blind Mice the slug is suddenly facing the other way.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: The Three Blind Mice are turned
into horses to pull the coach after the wedding reception, yet
they are seen moments later dancing on the organ keys. But other
than the seamless continuation of the song there is nothing to
suggest that the party scene immediately follows the happy
couple's departure (there has been time to clear the tables for
dancing) so perhaps the mice have discharged their coach-pulling
duties and returned to the party for a boogie.  While it's true
that the sequence was added almost as an afterthought, and the
final shot is of the coach being pulled by the mice/horses, we see
no continuity error (the final shot is artistically "right" as a
closer - that shot and the party need not necessarily be
interpreted as being contemporaneous).

Continuity: Shrek and Donkey could not have made jokes about Lord
Farquaad's height since they never saw him anywhere before except
on a balcony. Shrek has never heard of him before, so cannot have
known. (The producers acknowledge this oversight in the DVD
commentary.)

Continuity: The chain around the dragon's neck disappears after
Shrek uses it to climb on to her.

Continuity: When Shrek is brushing his teeth, the mirror breaks.
Later, when he returns to his swamp, the broken pieces are
different.

Continuity: The sun sets in different directions with respect to
the same view of Lord Farquaad's castle.
