Baylor Alum Divulges Shrek Secret Message

It’s not quite “Paul is dead.” But during a recent speech to film and digital media students at his Texas Alma Mater Baylor University, Hollywood animated film art director Doug Rogers shared a slice of Lone Star State silliness.

Per an article by Rachel Ambelang in the university’s student newspaper, the Baylor Lariat:

During the [September 15] presentation, Rogers showed his mischievous side by revealing that in one of the scenes of Shrek he placed a series of numbers across a sign in the background that, when decoded, spells out “I hate the University of Texas.”

Who knew that this ten-year-old animated smash secretly threw down the Texas gauntlet? (Don’t mess with Shrekas?) Not us, that’s for sure.
