In Germany the leading roles are dubbed by stars like Sascha Hehn (as Shrek), Esther Schweins (as Fiona), Marie-Luise Marjan (as Queen Lillian) and Benno Fürmann (as Puss in Boots).
In France, Alain Chabat voices Shrek. The French version has been highly criticized by the Quebec Action Democratique party leader Mario Dumont, because it uses Parisian slang and accents that are incomprehensible to most Quebecers including Dumont and his children (whom he took to see the movie). This has led him to issue a bill (affecting the Province of Quebec) stating that all movies must be shown either in Quebec French or not at all in French.
In the Latin American Spanish dubbed version, as in the first two movies, Shrek was voiced by Alfonso Obregon, Fiona by Dulce Guerrero, Puss in Boots by Antonio Banderas (who also played him in English), Donkey by Eugenio Derbez and Artie by Enzo Fortuny.
In Portugal, the lead characters are voiced by José Jorge Duarte (Shrek), Cláudia Cadima (Fiona), Rui Paulo (Donkey) and Paulo Oom (Puss in Boots). Other characters voiced by well-known Portuguese celebrities are Mabel the Ugly Stepsister (Manuel Luís Goucha) and Sleeping Beauty (Patrícia Bull). Paulo Oom doubles as a falsetto Gingerbread Man.
In Spain, the Shrek and Donkey are voiced by comedians Cruz y Raya, while Antonio Banderas himself re-dubbed Puss in Boots. The Ugly Stepsister is dubbed by the former soccer player and notorious pundit Michael Robinson.
In Japan, the leading roles are dubbed by comedian Masatoshi Hamada (Shrek), seiyū Kōichi Yamadera (Donkey), actress Norika Fujiwara (Fiona) and actor/comedian Naoto Takenaka (Puss in Boots). Other many characters are acted by professional voice actors (seiyūs), Prince Charming by Unshou Ishizuka, Queen Lillian by Toshiko Sawada and King Harold by Takeshi Aono, one of the most respected voice actors in Japan at that time. Artie Pendragon is dubbed by Keita Tachibana, a pop idol just like Justin Timberlake.
In Poland Shrek is dubbed by very well-known actor Zbigniew Zamachowski, and Donkey by legendary comedian Jerzy Stuhr
