Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Released in Spain as 'El sueño de una noche de San Juan,' this was a co-production trying to ride Shrek's wake while reclaiming Don Quixote as national heritage—bold, messy, very 2007.
The English dub renamed the film 'Donkey Xote' and marketed it with the tagline 'From the producers who saw Shrek'—legally distinct, spiritually bankrupt.
