After Mike Myers completed his dialogue in his own voice and Shrek's animation was being completed, Myers decided he wanted to give Shrek a Scottish accent. "Once I saw the whole picture, I saw I needed to dig even deeper. And in having Shrek be Scottish, I was able to tap into a certain energy." When his mother, who is from Liverpool, read him books like Babar or Curious George she often gave British dialects to the characters. "It was a happy memory of my childhood, and in Scottish I was able to connect to that." When Mike Myers begged to be allowed to redo Shrek's voice, Jeffrey Katzenberg and his partner Steven Spielberg agreed after hearing a demo, although the decision required the ogre to be reanimated from scratch. "That incident cost us about $5 million," said Katzenberg. "But it's Mike's total creation, and honestly, it made the movie so much better."
