* The Second Act opener "Morning Person" shows Fiona as a parody of the classic Disney Princess (perky, bubbly, excited, kind to animals, etc)...a little bird sings along (like in the movie), leading to them singing. Fiona shrieks a high note, leading the bird to explode in a puff of feathers. Her resulting reaction sells it.

Shrek answers that it's on the to-do list, causing a completely justified BigWhat from Fiona.
