Continuity mistake: Rumpelstiltskin looks completely different in this movie than he did in the previous film Shrek The Third; Prince Charming momentarily talks to Rumpelstiltskin in the tavern during the third film, and the character looks completely different, has a different voice and different demeanor.
Shrek Forever After (2010)
Ending / spoiler
Starring: Antonio Banderas, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, John Cleese, Julie Andrews, Mike Myers, Jon Hamm, Craig Robinson
Rumplestiltzken offers the "Deal of a Lifetime" to anyone who turns Shrek in, so Shrek turns himself in and wishes for all the captured ogres to be set free. Rumplestilzken locks Shrek up with Fiona. The loophole being that since Shrek was never born, Fiona's curse was never broken and she will become human at sunrise, so she is technically is not an ogre. Donkey and all the other ogres storm the castle and Shrek and Fiona escape. Rumplestiltzken is defeated, but it's too late - Shrek's day is up, so he starts to disappear. Fiona kisses him, which breaks the spell (True Love's Kiss, remember?). Shrek wakes up earlier in the film at his kids' birthday and they all live happily ever after.

More trivia for Shrek Forever After
Question: In the beginning, the king and queen are shown riding in a carriage. However, before watching this movie, I viewed Shrek 3 where the king had turned into a frog and died. If he died in 3, how did he come back to life in this movie? This was before the king and queen signed any contract and vanished, so magic was not involved in his being alive.

Answer: It was stated in this scene that Fiona was rescued from the tower, meaning this scene took place at the same time as Shrek 1, when the King was still alive.
