Three Blind Mice are supporting characters in the DreamWorks Shrek franchise.
Background[]
Physical Appearance[]
They are mice with white fur and pink tails and paws.
Appearances[]
Shrek[]
The mice first appeared on-screen during one of the first scenes in the original Shrek movie. We see them when they are banished from Lord Farquaad's kingdom and sent to Shrek's swamp. Shrek notices the Three Blind Mice first, walking over the table, they mistake Shrek's ear for cheese and a slug for a bed. They show up at Shrek and Fiona's wedding where they are turned into two horses and a carriage rider by a fairy Godmother (although oddly enough, they reappeared again shortly after as their original selves).
Shrek 2[]
They are three of Shrek's friends who watch his swamp while Shrek and Princess Fiona are visiting Far Far Away. For most of the film, they are in the house partying and eating buffalo wings. Later, along with Gingy, Pinocchio, Big Bad Wolf and The Three Little Pigs, they help Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots break out of jail. However, one of them falls through the cage after missing the dynamite rope. The same mice is later shown in Puss' mouth, almost eaten whole. They later join the dance during the end song, "Livin la Vida Loca."
Shrek the Third[]
The Mice have very little screen time in the film. They appear briefly at King Harold's funeral, and then bid Shrek, Donkey and Puss farewell on their way to save Artie.
Shrek Forever After[]
They made cameos in the normal universe, celebrating the Ogre Triplets' 1st birthday. In a deleted scene, they were in the alternate universe, stabbing Shrek's foot with their canes.
Other Appearances[]
Shrek 4-D[]
Two of the mice are in their horse forms during the first portion of the short film. When Shrek and Donkey crash the Onion Carriage into the Dead End Graveyard, the magic wears off and they revert back into mice. One of them has vision in his normal form for a split second before getting the pixie dust knocked out of him. All three are seen at the end at Shrek and Fiona's honeymoon.
Far Far Away Idol[]
The Mice sing "I Can See Clearly Now," with two of them bumping into each other mid-performance. This shocks Shrek and Fiona, and greatly displeases Simon Cowell.
Shrek the Halls[]
The Three Blind Mice join Shrek and the others for Christmas at Shrek's swamp. One of them nails a Christmas stocking on Pinocchio's leg.
Scared Shrekless[]
They were seen in Shrek's swamp with Donkey, Puss, Three Pigs, Gingy, Pinocchio, and Wolf at the beginning. Later on, it's revealed that they never made it to Duloc to tell scary stories, as they were walking in circles on a mini turning table.
Donkey's Christmas Shrektacular[]
They attend Donkey's Christmas party at the Candy Apple, and dance to the holiday jingles. The trio have their own verse in the "Fairytale Rock" song singing, "Cheeses that pleases that stink really bad, that make Christmas glad."
Swamp Talk[]
The trio were mentioned in the episode "Shrek Reacts to 3 Blind Mice", where they were heavily criticized for their play The Butcher, the Baker, and the Candlestick Maker. The trio were also criticized for a poorly choreographed music performance, and a "modern art" piece reflecting their point of view.
Trivia[]
- They sings 'I Can See Clearly Now' in Far Far Away Idol.
