It was Hollywood glamour as the stars of Strictly Come Dancing recreated iconic scenes for the Movie Week quarter-final.
However, when it came to Chelsee Healey's professional partner Pasha Kovalev, he looked a rather funny shade of green.
The Serbian dancer, 31, looked unrecognisable covered in green make-up with big ears just like the character in the hit animation franchise.
Let's Jive: Chelsee Healey and Pasha Kovalev wowed the judges and the audience with their Jive to I'm A Believer from Shrek
You were kicking and flicking like no-one's business: The couple kept up the pace with their high-energy routine
The couple ended up topping the leaderboard, receiving a 39 with their Jive to I'm A Believer.
Alesha Dixon said: 'Chelsee and Shrek, you look amazing Pasha. It was cute, it was fun, you were kicking and flicking like no-one's business .You found your dance.'
Craig Revel-Horwood added: 'I loved the routine, you need to pick your knees up a little bit more... But it was incredible.'
Winning streak: It's the fourth time Chelsee and Pasha have topped the leaderboard
Robbie Savage and Ola Jordan kicked off the show with a Quickstep to Little Green Bag from the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack.
The footballer and his Polish partner certainly looked the part in their black suits and sunglasses as they received a score of 30.
Head judge Len Goodman said: 'You've given me a lot of pleasure and you didn't disappoint. You've got enthusiasm. It was a bit rough around the edges for me, but you made the best of what you've got. It wasn't top notch.'
Kicking things off: Robbie Savage and Ola Jordan started show with a Quickstep to Little Green Bag from the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack
Too cool: Ola and Robbie certainly looked the part in their black suits
Dixon was more positive: 'You are a smooth operator. This week you're back in business. Good posture, light footed, it was clean, it was a light quickstep.'
Bruno Tonioli added: 'The way you were strutting your stuff, somewhere between Kate Moss and Russell Brand. You were trying very hard. Your ballroom is better.'
But Revel-Horwood wasn't so positive: 'Your knee pulses were completely out of time, your head position needs to go a lot more left, it lacked swing or sway which made the top part a little stiff, you could drive the dance a little more. It was little bit like a rabbit doing a trot...
'But I did love the concept and your performance of it.'
Latin dance to an English tale: Harry Judd and Aliona Vilani performed the Rumba to (Everything I Do) I Do It for You - the theme from Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves
Bringing the audience to their feet were Harry Judd and Aliona Vilani, who performed the Rumba to (Everything I Do) I Do It for You - the theme from Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves.
The dance was so slick it even won over the notoriously hard to please Revel-Horwood.
He said: 'It was hard not to notice that you've been working on your hip action because of the tightness of those trousers. I did love it, it was simple, it was clean it was basic.'
'The best Rumba I've seen from a male celebrity': The couple's passionate Latin dance certainly impressed
Dixon was equally impressed: 'That's the best Rumba I've seen from a male celebrity in a long time. you had good hip action and you had good control. It was by no means awkward.'
After a shaky week previously, Alex Jones and James Jordan were hoping their American Smooth to Pretty Woman would win over the judges.
Despite a little hiccup with her red dress, the judges all agreed the routine was 'beautiful'.
Back with a bang: Alex Jones and James Jordan impressed with their American Smooth to Pretty Woman
Finally put the 'sex' into dance: Alex was praised by Craig for finally finding her sexy side
Tonioli told her: 'Pretty woman is an understatement, you were gorgeous. There were great turns, it was fluid. It was absolutely lovely.'
Dixon said: 'It was a beautiful song and gorgeous routine. You danced with elegant and class. You've been consistently improving in this competition and you deserve credit for that.'
Fourth to dance was Holly Valance and Artem Chigvintsev, performing the Paso Doble to Zorro's Theme from the Zorro soundtrack.
High drama: Holly Valance and Artem Chigvintsev put on a strong Paso Doble to Zorro's Theme from the Zorro soundtrack
Stop looking at the floor: The judges' only criticism was that Valance focuses on the floor too much
Revel-Horwood only had one criticism - that the Australian singer/actress kept looking at the floor.
He said: 'That must be your personal best. You do look at the floor always, if you just bring your eye-line up, it would be perfect.'
Dixon told her: 'I was routing for you. your arms and your hands were superb. You were working it and in character. You stepped it up.'
Back in favour: Jason Donovan and Kristina Rihanoff performed the American Smooth to Singin' In The Rain
Mr Slick: The Australian singer/actor started off with a solo routine in the steps
After struggling last week, Jason Donovan really stepped it up with his and partner Kristina Rihanoff's American Smooth to Singin' In The Rain.
Tonioli said: 'Jason goes to Hollywood - you took a huge risk with this, but you made it your own. It was a cleaver tribute, the foxtrot was expertly executed.'
Even Revel-Horwood was impressed: 'I really loved this, Full of charisma, was really fantastic, really.'
The competition is heating up: Only six couples are left in the quarter-final
