The Three Blind Mice, based on the eponymous fairytale creatures, are friends with Shrek and the others. They are all blind, and that is why they sport black sunglasses and carry canes. Unlike in the fairy tale, their tails are not cut off and they show no signs of injuries. They are voiced by Christopher Knights and Simon J. Smith, but in Shrek in the Swamp Karaoke Dance Party they are voiced by Mike Myers. Their names are Forder, Gorder and Horder.
At the beginning of the first film, Lord Farquaad banishes them to Shrek's swamp with the others. They are not seen again until the final musical number, "I'm a believer", during which the fairies of Sleeping Beauty turn two of them into horses to pull a wagon made from an onion.
Before the start of Shrek 2, the Three Blind Mice have become three of Shrek's best friends. They help Shrek and Princess Fiona by guarding their swamp while they visit Far Far Away. They are later seen during the Royal Far Far Away Ball and again when Shrek (in his human form) is thrown into a police truck. On hearing this, the Blind Mice and the others travel to Far Far Away to free Shrek, Puss In Boots and Donkey. They then get into the castle and help to stop the Fairy Godmother and Prince Charming. They later appear in Far Far Away Idol, singing "I Can See Clearly Now."
In Shrek The Third, the Three Blind Mice only appear in two scenes: during the funeral of King Harold and when Shrek is about to leave to find the new king of Far Far Away.
In Shrek Forever After, the mice are only seen in the normal universe.

Famous quotes containing the words blind and/or mice:
“There is nothing more poetic and terrible than the skyscrapers’ battle with the heavens that cover them. Snow, rain, and mist highlight, drench, or conceal the vast towers, but those towers, hostile to mystery and blind to any sort of play, shear off the rain’s tresses and shine their three thousand swords through the soft swan of the fog.”
—Federico García Lorca (1898–1936)
“Yes, dance. Dance and dream. Dream that you’re Mrs. Henry Jekyll of Harley Street, dancing with your own butler and six footmen. Dream that they’ve all turned into white mice and crawled into an eternal pumpkin.”
—John Lee Mahin (1902–1984)
