Shrek 2 director Conrad Vernon returns in this third adventure… as the voice of the Gingerbread Man. 
(Please note the restraint of NOT inserting a joke about producers here.)
Producer Aron Warner voiced the Wolf in Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third. Director Chris Miller – who was the voice of the Magic Mirror and Geppetto in the first Shrek, as well as that of penguin Kowalski in Madagascar – is the voice of the Puppet Master (one of the villains hanging out at the Poison Apple Bar) in Shrek the Third. In Shrek the Third, there are (on average) a total of 62,173 branches per tree and 191,545 leaves per tree. Number of lady cats bidding farewell to Puss on the docks: nine (lucky cat). Number of wall bricks used to build the sewer walls in the sewer sequence when the Princesses escape the castle: 3,196. Number of stone bricks used to build the stone docks in the dock sequence: 1,602. There are 4,378 approved men and women in the library of generic characters that animators could chose from to create crowds. The scene when Dragon and the Dronkeys fly over the theater where Prince Charming is performing features the largest crowd shot in Shrek the Third, with 1,373 characters with 2,646 ray-traced eyes and 31,579 individual parts to be rendered. 
For those who will be keeping track, 23 key fairytale/fantasy creatures appear in Shrek the Third (with additional dwarves, evil trees, witches, evil knights and pirates all making appearances throughout the film)! These include:. Approximately 4,500 different costumes were originally designed for the crowd scenes in Shrek the Third, but only 2,500 made the final cut (get it, cloth, cut… oh never mind). Shrek and Fiona have been married for eight months by the time Shrek the Third starts. (Fiona would prefer that we don’t reveal her height – but she’s up there for sure.) Over 130,000 frames were created to bring Shrek the Third to the big screen. It takes approximately 20,000 man weeks, or a million man hours, to animate an entire movie – and this film is no exception!. 
A total of 28 babies were born to artists during the making of Shrek the Third.
While some artists got busy animating babies for the film, others got busy, well, having the real thing. There are a total of 37 sequences and 1,320 shots (to date) on Shrek the Third. The approximate size of the Shrek the Third crew was 350.
