Shrek (Chris Farley)

In the late 1990s, DreamWorks Pictures planned on making a Shrek film with Chris Farley voicing the titular character.

Plot
The plot was similar to that of the 2001 film, but with notable differences.

Why It Was Cancelled

 * 1) The only main reason right now is that Chris Farley died before production was complete.
 * 2) Mike Myers didn't want to do someone else's version, so he asked for the script to be rewritten and that's where the final version of Shrek was formed.

Results

 * The Chris Farley version was permanently cancelled.
 * After Chris Farley died, Mike Myers finished the rest of the unused dialogue in the Chris Farley version.
 * DreamWorks released Shrek in 2001 with Mike Myers as the voice of the title character.
 * In the 2010s, Chris Farley's voice recordings surfaced.
 * Amblimation closed in 1997 and production moved to DreamWorks in 1998.
 * Now released in 1996 moved to 2001.
