Before Mike Myers became the king of the swamp in 2001’s DreamWorks film Shrek and its many sequels, Chris Farley was attached to the project to lend his energetic voice to the titular computer-animated ogre before the beloved actor and Saturday Night Live alum tragically died of a drug overdose in 1997. Now, thanks to some enterprising lost media enthusiasts, more test footage has surfaced online from the Farley era of Shrek’s journey to cinema screens.
In a blog post by Meghan Boilard, the winding journey of how the newly uncovered footage surfaced online is recounted in excruciating detail. Though an initial animatics test, featuring hand-drawn storyboards accompanied by Farley’s voice, had come to light back in 2015, as CNN reported, this latest footage is actually rendered in CGI and sheds light on the character’s earliest polygonal designs. Below is the hand-drawn storyboard footage that features Farley’s voice, in case you missed the now-viral clip when it first came to light back in 2015.
