- That's one small step for Shrek, one giant leap for film preservation in kind.
0:00 References for the dragon's castle interior by Christian Bouyer and his Shrek model from 1997 based on Tom Hester's designs inspired by Chris Farley himself.
0:10 Walk cycle for one of the earliest models of Donkey by Christian Bouyer, "the very first time a Shrek character was actually moving."
0:17 Behind-the-scenes bonus feature accidentally shows an officially released look at the Shrek model seen in the animation test, pointed out by @ScribblestoScreen.
0:22 Frame-by-frame glimpse at the test animation and Shrek/Mugger head models from a 2015 Vimeo reel by AJLB which I have slowed down.
1:05 Collection of test animations from 1998 on a 2019 demo reel by Corey James Comstock. Followed by close-ups of each, one with Farley's voice.
2:15 Snippets of Shrek test footage in a 2011 Vimeo reel by Loren Soman.
2:23 More test footage featuring the Mugger in a video from October 2010 on Loren Soman's TH-cam channel which I've slowed down.
2:31 Early 3D horse model for Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron and scratch track for Donkey animated by Christian Bouyer to practice lipsyncing. The dialogue may possibly relate to Donkey being freed by Shrek from a donkey millstone in an early storyboard.

I love how the animators who failed on Prince of Egypt were sent to work on Shrek as punishment, and it was so infamous they called it being "Shreked". And through sheer willpower and spite, they proceeded to make one of the most influential animated movies of all time
Because Shrek was such a troubled production. Nicholas Cage turned down the role of Shrek because the character was too ugly. And no other actor wanted to play the character, so they literally had to redo the entire character design to make Shrek sexy.
@@joeybaseball7352 They redid the character because Mike Myers wanted to respect Chris Farley by not playing his version of Shrek
@@CMBGAMER2018TV they redid it after Nicholas Cage and other actors turned down the role.
Holy Nile River! By the hand of Moses, this movie was the Fourty-third miracle.
indirectly disproving the entire lesson of the movie "dont judge a book by its cover".
I was really impressed with Chris Farleys voice over work here, I could actually see him in the movie.
Chris wanted to get in a serious role he was tired of being known as the funny guy
I wish the movie would be made somehow. They said his lines were mostly done.
@@Titanic19127ya 80% of his lines were shot and it could be possible if they took the Disney route and used AI to get the other 20%. They have hours and hours of his voice so a spot on ai voice wouldn’t be to hard and it would be cool to see that version but I honestly don’t think it should be done
It’s a great voice for Shrek but it’s not Mike Myers. It’s just not quite iconic the way Myers’ Shrek is.
Same
the chemistry between Chris Farley and Eddie murphy in the clips is solid, they bounce off each other well.
3D animation tests are so creepy, scary, uncanny, weird and interesting to watch
Fr
agreed, except it's not uncanny unless it is "too real" (definition: so real its creepy, also see "unreal/unbelievable")
@@ahar1401 I know what it means, i just meant that is a similar feeling
They are A LOT less creepy nowadays, since our computers are so much more powerful, and it's so much easier to make things look good, the tests are a lot closer to the final product.
But yeah, early 3D animation stuff, so creepy.
Compared to 2D animation tests, yeah. In spite of that, I do actually like the look of the Farley cut. 90s CG has tons of charm imo(Mario 64 renders look really nice to me imo)
It’s interesting how stylized and detailed they made the models, it definitely had a unique art style being more cartoonish before it was scrapped and used a more realistic look in the finished film.
Yeah, makes me wonder why Dreamworks scrapped those cartoony designs in the end? Maybe they thought that the style wouldn't appeal as much to audiences? But you'd think doing a realistic look in animation would be more difficult to do during the early 2000's.
@@HalzyonChannel
I suspect that they decided to redesign the characters after Farley passed. You can see that the shrek model here is modelled on Farley's, while the final one is Myers.
It was pretty ambitious and I kinda wish I could see more of the footage
@@HalzyonChannel Nicholas Cage, and a number of actors passed on the role because they said Shrek was too ugly.
The original design seems to be more inspired by the book (source material)
That old shrek is kinda nightmare fuel but I think that actually gets the point of the movie across better.
That's a fair point, it's much harder to not "judge someone before you get to know them" with that Shrek's design. Although, if all the human characters looked how the mugger does, it may have confused that message a bit, lol!
@@HalzyonChannel True, can’t really judge shrek when you look like a goblin yourself
Well we know the reason. Ugly Shrek doesn't sell toys. Cute Shrek does.
@@joeybaseball7352 You find Shrek cute?
@@danksmemington362 I think Shrek is incredibly sexy.
I don't think Chris Farley's Shrek was gonna be his saving grace... looking at how the characters looked, how uninviting and depressing the scenery looked, it would've been even more detrimental to Farley's career. Staying sober and away from thr wrong people may have kept some doors open for him to at least live comfortably. Enlarged heart or not, it was still made of solid gold. Fly High, Chris. I'll make sure my kids know who you are.
I think the sloghtly cursed looks add to the point of the movie personally.
@@404TVfr kind of where I'm at, but then who'd the target demographic be? Kinda like how Tim Burton films have that over all kind avant garde kinda thing going on, maybe not the best for my generation being as young as we were when Shrek came out.
@@404TVfr not really, the finished movie gets the point across nicely while maintaining various moods and settings it wants to get across. You don't need a grossly cartoony style and depressing, brown scenery to get a point across, finished Shrek has these moments whenever it wants.
It’s important to note that that particular test scene with the robber was seen as a major failure, and everyone involved was fired haha. (IIRC it was made by an outside team who only worked on that footage, and the script for the scene was written by J.J. Abrams!)
Everything else we’ve seen of the Farley Shrek looks a lot closer to the final film, just with some cosmetic differences.
Mmm...I think you're jumping to conclusions too fast. The movie as a whole was never even finished when Farley was alive and considering how they scrapped the original animation, I highly doubt this would've been the final product. It's been noted that Farley did record about 85-95% of the dialogue for Shrek but as far as the animation and actual development of the movie is a different story. I'm sure if he we're to finish all his lines it would still have come out good. But regardless Myers did great and the 1st Shrek will always hold up.
i cant believe how much better that campfire scene got since these storyboards.
It’s honestly impressive seeing how similar the finished result of the campfire scene is compared to the story board usually story boards are either never used or completely different from the end result
This alternate version of the movie would be incredibly interesting to find more of. That last animatic shows two key differences in the story- the first is that this Shrek took cues from Farley's character in Tommy Boy, where his parents coddled him instead of abusing him like what's implied in the final movie and shown directly in Shrek the Musical. However, early Shrek's parents protected him SO much that he seems to not be able to do much, and either still lives with them, or is homeless after their death or something, which brings up the second difference.
Shrek never HAD the Swamp to begin with in this version of the story, and here he only agrees to save Fiona in order to be rewarded with A swamp by Farquaad. So this Shrek is less about retaining his status quo, and more about making life better for himself. This aspect of the plot was likely changed in order to further distance the film from Disney's animated films, as DreamWorks PDI was founded by ex-Disney employees and Shrek was supposed to be the anti-Disney movie. But pretty much every animated Disney movie to that point had been about moving up in life and making things better for yourself, "wanting more". So by tweaking things to have Shrek be reclaiming his rightful property, and turning Michael Eisner caricature Farquaad from whatever he was in this story, into a tyrant who rounds up those who don't fit in his vision of a perfect world and dumping them on the property of someone else, a property he sees as worthless, DreamWorks PDI was able to more effectively dunk on Disney.
As much as it sucks that Farley died, I do think the circumstances surrounding the event internally at DreamWorks PDI gave us a better, more biting satire of a movie in the end.
I can kinda see why they punished the animators with this movie lmao
Lol. They got "Shrecked." I hope it was worth it for them though, it's arguably left more of a cultural impact than The Prince of Eygpt and Shrek did pretty much save the studio.
I absolutely loved watching this: 2:41 It just felt so... real. The dialogue just had so much voice acting into it.. it was so calming.
That old footage has to be documented into a documentary about Chris Farley who did original voice recording before he died . It could make many Shrek fans really interested in why he didn’t finish voicing Shrek before mike Myers .
Because Farley died of a drug overdose. It ended up being a good decision to recast him because they made several sequels.
@@joeybaseball7352 I agree it was the best decision ever made
@@gabethedinosaur95 Mike Myers actually ended up redoing his own audio. He recorded it normally. But then he decided to do it with a Scottish accent. So there's really 3 different voice recordings.
Still wish those girls would have called an ambulance instead of running away like that
the old one is kinda sweet. I like how much more donkey and Shrek bond more than they do in the final movie. I also like the scary animation, it's kinda cozy in a way.
An interesting detail in the storyboard footage is that 4:09 implies that at this point in the story, Shrek has already wooed Fiona, and is already making plans to both take the swamp deed AND Fiona with him. Considering that the only other campfire scene in the final movie is the one just before Donkey discovers Fiona's curse (with Shrek & Fiona bonding over eating weed rats), there is a plausibility that this scene actually takes there - near the end of the film - instead of on the cliff like in the final picture. The lack of shots of Fiona watching on from a cave adds credence to this.
This version of the campfire scene takes place before Fiona’s rescue.
I hope in the future DreamWorks would released the audio of Chris Farley voicing Shrek.
R.I.P. Chris Farley
#ReleasetheFarleycut
I would love to see the whole Chris Farley version of the movie with the animation completely done in the original style.
@@PowerRangerfan I would love too as well but he unfortunately passed away before he could finish recording the rest of his lines.
You got your wish. But he only said one line.
@@kendrasinterlude he said more then that, his version was pretty much done and there is a practically finished version of that write up of the film out there somewhere, but the test audience didn't react well, so they changed the script to the one we know and he died before they could record for that version
Chris would have been a great pick to voice Shrek, but he died sadly. I'm glad they did not throw this project to the trash can, Mike Myers did a memorable job, same with Eddie.
1:08 bro shrek ballin
How dare Dreamworks cut his mad skills from the movie.
Only thing is the "I'm free, I'm free!" part in the middle of the compilation was actually test footage from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
It was audio of Donkey from the 1996 test
i’ve just noticed that chris farley’s shrek had a very similar voice to the actor who did the polish version of the character (the one i am used to, cause i’m polish) and i like him much better because of that. i remember watching english shrek for the first time and thinking that mike myers’ voice didn’t suit the character at all because of that weird accent he did, our polish shrek sounds very similar to chris farley’s and it’s kinda interesting considering the fact he wasn’t included in the final version of the movie
I was raised with Russian dub of Shrek and I totally agree with you! I don't get why Mike Myers was chosen for the role other than being a famous person
THIS! Even growing up in America and watching the original, to me Mike meyer’s weird fake accent NEVER felt right.
I think you feel like Mike Myers' Scottish accent didn't fit Shrek because of what you were used to. Here in the US, we actually like the Scottish accent and it fits Shrek perfectly!
@@Sly88Frye it's not about his Scottish accent (in fact I'd never noticed it if I didn't watch some youtuber say this long ago) Rather his voice is not that deep and his tone isn't rude enough. When I first heard Mike Myers' version I had the vibe of a yankee guy I would meet in the every street of the US' cities
In America it sounds normal to us and we like it
That random horse being free though. I wonder what they would have done with that.
Also, I didn't know that Donkey always was played by Eddie Murphy, I thought that was a change made in the final movie.
The footage is from when "Spirit" was in development. The animators contemplated having Spirit talk throughout the movie but after the mock-up test footage was shown, they backed out of the idea and settled on the horse being mute. The dialogue obviously comes from an early version of Shrek and it implies that he set Donkey free, presumably from Farquaad's henchmen like in the final film, but whether Shrek did it intentionally or by accident is still unknown.
This is seriously making me cry. I feel like when Shrek was talking about how people see him Chris was really talking about himself. How everyone sees him and how he really is.
we recently got new HD screenshots recently with the bandit jumping and Shrek reacting
this last footage is honestly one of my favourites. It's like a extended and more profound version of the one we got in the final version of the movie. I can't tell which one i like the most, tbh, but the final version fr could have some more details taken from this version, although the story changed a bit
My favorite part of the shrek Franchise, when a cowboy fought against a samurai.
It's cool to see what's left over of what could have been. While it's unlikely that we'll ever see most of the footage that was made, or a fully fledged deep fake of the original concept for the movie, at least we have some clips of Chris Farley as Shrek.
2:32 The horse scene feels like a video game cutscene.
i love how the storyboard shrek kinda resembles chris farley
I wish Farley would have figured it out. We as fans loved him and his work but drugs and other things told him differently. Also respect to Mike Myers who took over the role as tribute to Farley
2:39 I actually love this sequence. It works almost the same as the one we got today, and it's wholesome. I'm definitely happy we got what we got though, it's got all the memes, it's iconic and funny, and most of all, actually visually appealing. The beta footage, however, just n o.
this is making a cry chris oh you could have been amazing sherk but mike did you proud
1:44 someone make this a meme asap
Damn, all of Chris Farley’s voice lines should really leak. They need to be archived
1:34 I watch shrek for the plot 👀
Im confused.
For a lot of videos that talk about Shrek Lost media or the Chris Farley cut, they actually use these storyboards that I practically never saw before. Especially the ones where Shrek is pushing a knight away from the dragon, or him and Fiona eating those Field mice, and him entering a tavern.
Anyone know where those storyboards could be found?
The storyboard stuff might have been from a DVD extra iirc. I swear I saw them in a deleted scenes section before
I'm just gonna say it; Shrek's prototype head looks like a baby bottle cap.
R.I.P. Chris Farley
the one of donkey is still up for debate, but i’m pretty sure it is an old voice line
On the animator's website, he noted it was a personal project, using an early horse model from Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron to try lip syncing. The voice itself too was only a 'scratch track' so likely he or another animator recorded it so that he had audio to use.
Concepts from production is so crazy
what would you do if a naked ogre tried to open your window?
Shrek is love, Shrek is life.
Find the closest thing to shove up his arse
😏
I would scream in fear
I would lie in bed like a sexy French girl on a European postcard
Interesting... seeing different iterations of the characters
They should make another movie and having donkey follow around Chris Farley’s Shrek but just renaming him, and have them go on an adventure.
The song playing at the end of the scene is the intro to Innocent when you dream by Tom Waits. I would have really enjoyed this in the Shrek OST
Like how donkey stays the same the whole thing
You gotta update this with some of the new findings, especially the pilot!
Seems like in this version Shreck met Donkey during his adventure instead of before it even started. Which I thinks is better.
0:17
"And texturing of the images, all this effort was directed towards creating the unique balance-"
That part of cutting to the next founded footage clip as the early production was honestly left behind. Just silent.
RIP Chris Farley
I love the opening trills of Innocent When You Dream in the last scene. Wish that made the final cut
#releasethefarleycut
Why did they animate naked shrek peering into a window and climbing in? Was shrek is love real all along?
Every dream has a meaning.
My dreams: 1:44
PLEASE KEEP REALEASING AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. WITH90% OF THE LINES COMPLETE I PRAY THEY RELASE THE FARLEY SHREK VERSION
well story seems really different from the final one with shrek actually having family before the movie and losing it probably killed by angry mob seems like typical kids movie and not as good as the final where an ogre never loved before finally finds it but Chris Farley's performance is amazing giving more sassy shrek you can see more of that joking at in the face the world that hates him compered to more angry shrek we got
1:44 I love how that scene feels like a modern day shitpost
The old one is ugly but has kinda a charm to it
I agree, the old Shrek was very meaty and imposing, but I think Farley's voice helps give it the charm. Perhaps, maybe when the model was given clothes, body details and rendered properly, he wasn't as visually off-putting, lol.
Why the heck was there lego in this lol
The Lego animations were included in the demo reel where some of the Shrek footage was found. Since it fades into to Shrek's animations and I didn't want to cut off any of it off, I just included the Lego stuff for a brief second.
I get a feel of Fungus the Boogeyman from this.
To be fair, Shrek in his book looks eerily similar to that character and if these test models were directly inspired by that book's illustrations, the resemblance makes even more sense.
you mean Mr. Bogus?
Shrek loves his parents :)
He's a mama's/dada's boy. :)
Big contrast to Myer's version of the character who admitted that his father tried to eat him. Oof.
@@HalzyonChannel fr
I love that early Shrek model. It's really reminiscent of old Nvidia demos.
I really like the voiced storyboard
I like Shrek's early design, I think it looks way more creative and more accurate to the original book. The final design just looks like a tall green man with long ears.
Wow I had no idea Shrek had parents
2:32 looks like an awkward PS1 cutscene between gameplay
It’s like peering into another dimension that was fractured.
I've actually seen on TH-cam the Shrek scene where he tells donkey they judge me before they even know me and it's a storyboard with Chris Farley audio and Eddie Murphy and it's 2 minutes and 32 seconds long
Edit: never mind I forgot it was on the Shrek DVD
Edit2: I feel like I've made this same comment years ago
I believe this film would have added to Farley's Depression, its so sad what fame can do to an already depressed soul
How?
shrek is love...
Is no one going to talk about the cuts to the Lego mini figures shaking their hips 😂
They’re actually from the game Lego Alpha Team
You could always say they scraped all
of this to redo it into Antz.

The Donkey Faces and The Music looks more scary

this needs an update
What’s the name of the cowboy animation shown in the fourth animation test?
Donkey sounds like same action from shrek
2:17 Jojo Mayer - Jabon
The moving
of Shrek is very cool and I like the moving he dose they did very good job of the animation and the character is creppy the dancing part but this animation they done it's ok
The DreamWorks remaked the Shrek from 1996 some parts
You'd think DreamWorks would release due to the cult following these clips have made.
how to not sleep in 2 minutes:
Acho que a voz do Bussunda ficaria muito parecida com a do Chris Farley
0:10 We think we heard that sound from the walk cycle of Donkey.
2:16 - And I feeeel...!

What year was this early Donkey test made? 2:32
Sometime around 1997 or slightly after.
It's apparently a spirit animation test

It is "Squirt (Rissotto Vox)" by Fluke!

Honestly I’d like to see the Chris Farley version of this movie. Too bad I don’t live in an alternate timeline. 😂
Shrek should never have had that strange feigned Scottish accent. Farley’s voice sounds so much more appropriate.
I’m glad they scrapped the original design.
