How about we do another hilarious classic movie like Bebe's Kids 😂😂🎉it's great 😂!!! Please Bebe's Kids 😂

I don't think Fiona took her "original" form when the spell was broken, she took "true love's form" so it's because she fell in love with Shrek and because Shrek could love her regardless of what she looked like that she took that form. The fairytale book Shrek was reading at the beginning and wiped his butt with saying "like that'll ever happen" was her origin story with her as a human princess, and the true love she needed to break the spell that Shrek was so cynical about was the ending to this movie. Great writing, they had a perfect fairytale story while also subverting many fairytale tropes.

What I love about this movie, is that the entire film was meant to be one giant roast of Disney in general. eg. Farquaad looks like Michael Eisner, Dulock is basically Disneyland, fairytale tropes are challenged or outright reversed, and pop songs are used in place of original works in a musical.

I love how Shrek how doesn't even realize it's there.

Another comment's probably said this. But Shrek is sort of a revenge against Disney. One of the founders of Dreamworks, Jeffery Katzenberg used to work at Disney but left after the CEO Michael Eisner had several disagreements with him. So thats why there's a lot of "anti-fairytale" jokes in this movie. It was created to rival disney and the stereotypical nicey-niceness of DIsney's animated classics. That's why there's so many references to fairytales. Lord Farquaad is even supposed to resemble Michael Eisner. The kingdom where he lives is supposed to parody DIsneyland with the perfect clean streets and the singing characters. I love both companies but really think this was an interesting commentary of the situation between the two at the time :)

*Fun fact* Comedian Chris Farley was casted as the voice of Shrek but he died during production so they got Mike Myers (Austin Powers) to step in. The accent really makes Shrek Shrek so I’ve always wondered what the movies would have been like had Chris lived and continued. There is audio of Chris playing Shrek on YT!

One of the best moments we've learned about Shrek is why he chose to live alone in his swamp, and because other people who first saw him and called him a monster hurt his feelings pretty badly. Imagine if that had happened to us.

The movie heavily threw shade at Disney the entire movie. the Fairy Tale creature's are basically what Disney used to make money and how they treat their intellectual properties. The movie's themselves weren't really needed for a lot of context as long as you were familiar enough lol.

Brought to you by DreamWorks and was the first movie to win Best Animated Film at the Oscars. Starring Mike Myers as Shrek; an ogre who lives in a swamp and constantly gets bothered by the fairytale characters. Also featuring Eddie Murphy,Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow

10:05 to be fair Jeffrey Katzenberg used to work for Disney back in the day but until his ego gets the best of him such as after the death of Frank Wells (who died from a helicopter crash) that he saw this as an opportunity to become president of the Disney company, but Michael Eisner was hesitant about it. Katzenberg quite Disney then created and co founded DreamWorks Animation Studios.

Just to specify, she wasn't an ogre before the curse, we can't know that, but the curse said she would take the form of her true love, her true love was an ogre so she remained one ^^

Exactly

You said Fiona loved Shrek before she even knew she was an ogre, but she knew. She knew already how she turned into one every night. This was Shrek's origin story, not Fiona's, so we don't know when Fiona got her curse or why, but she obviously had been functioning under it for some time. I love that you love animation & fairy tales & sagas, but you really need to do a deep dive into the deep history & motifs in these stories. The main place we get fairy tales in Caucasian cultures is Grimm's Fairy Tales and from Mother Goose. These are centuries old, so of course there are different iterations of them; it's one of the reasons why doing updates is perfectly in keeping with the tradition of fairy tale story telling. But these stories go back before copywrite laws. That's how it is with fairy tales, myths, & legends. Comics/graphic novels are a continuation of the storytelling tradition. The superheroes & retelling of old myths (see Neil Gaiman, MCU, etc) are new clothes on old archetypes that still function psychologically. There was a fellow, now passed away, by the name of Joseph Campbell, a university professor, who specialized in the study of these old stories. He described how they were structured and why they 'spoke' to us and processed common drives. He became pretty famous in the 1070s through a series of interviews on PBS ("Joseph Campbell and the Power of Myth"), and for his books "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" and "The Hero's Journey". It was Campbell's work that George Lucas studied to create Star Wars. If you are serious about either storytelling (via graphic arts, written work, song, live theater, video, or film) or just viewing/interpreting storytelling forms, you need to at least read Campbell and read the source material. Disney & other purveyors of storytelling for an audience of children sanitize the stories. They select for the least offensive and then 'amend' anything that might offend. For instance: in the Brothers Grimm original, Rapunzel got pregnant out of wedlock & bore twins after the witch drove her away from the tower. Before losing her home, her prince had been thrown into brambles by the witch, which left him blind. When Rapunzel finally found him in the wilderness years after, her tears healed his blindness. But you likely never heard about that. When I was in 3rd grade, I become really interested in fairy tales, myths and legends. I dug out all the original source material and also read stories from other countries & cultures. You have no idea how much that has helped me in understanding film & theater. I think these things would be really useful to you. There is a universe before Disney; Disney only provides a warped mirror to view these stories. So 'adult' themes in fairy tales is actually part of their foundation and history.

Basically. All these fairytale characters are in the public domain. Which means that anyone can create their own interpretations of them, and profit off of those interpretations. But that also means that their interpretations can be copyrighted, so Disney has ownership over their versions, but they can't touch anyone else's

"I'm a Believer" is actually a 60's song made by The Monkees, though Smashmouth who did "Allstar" made their cover especially for this movie.

You should also watch Studio Ghibli movies. Princess Mononoke, Nausica of the valley of the wind, Totoro, Spirited Away, Kikis Delivery service, Porco Rosso, Howls moving castle etc. And the irish animation studio Cartoon Saloon with Song of the sea and Wolfwalkers. And don't forget Don Bluths animations, An american tale, The land before time, Anastasia. The secret of NIMH.

Dang Pinocchio not getting enough love 😂 but I understand.its an older movie. Still good to watch at some point :)

I started rewatching Shrek sequels and just watched part 3 last night. I told my friend that I totally forgot there was a 3 about Arthur becoming the next hier. 🤣

I remember I was wearing this new sweater or something one time, and someone in my choir said "I like the sweater. It's a nice sweater." and one of the other girls immediately quoted "I like that boulder. That is a nice boulder." For my generation, this movie has entered legendary quoting territory.

21:47 "you kinda play it up tho" I think technically Shrek was innocent at first, but no matter what he did people judged him anyway. So he was like "if everyone thinks i am a monster then i will be a monster".

My favorite scene is when Donkey and Dragan were making up ❤❤❤❤.

Loved your reaction! I would love to see you react to Zathura :)

Can't wait for you to get to the 4th one! It's SO underrated and has a wonderful story/animation. It has REALLY high stakes.

I kinda wonder if maybe Shrek did try to be amiable toward people at first, like when he was a bit younger, but because no one would give him a chance he sorta gave up and resigned himself to the “monster” position. Shrek took the world by storm when it came out, and in a lot of ways it’s still running strong. 😊

So happy you're doing these films!! Loved this lol Always looking forward to your reaction videos. I'm down for the old school Disney classics, other company animations, even live action regular films... Hope you're well

I like the little words you add when strong emotion is present. It's a noice little touch.

Nah man, this isn't Disney. Disney can only DREAM of making something this good.

I love the bit where Shrek and Donkey are making fun of Lord Farquaad. Shrek: Let me put it to ya this way, Princess. Men of Farquaad's stature are in SHORT supply. Donkey chuckles- I don't know, Shrek. There ARE those who think LITTLE of him.

Is a great movie about love friendship I love him and donkeys bromance

Chris Farley was Shrek's original voice actor. Sad he died tragically back in 1997. At the young age of 33. He was born in 1964. Died in 1997. From an over dose on hard, medical drugs. So we never got that version. Mike Myers provided Shrek with an Canadian accent. Since Myers himself was born in Canada 🇨🇦 his birth country. Eventually he settled on with a Scottish accent instead. He have restarted his lines for Shrek over and over again. Also Fiona and donkey 🐎 were both originally voiced by different celebrities.

I hope “Over The Hedge” is on your list somewhere. Another Dreamworks Animation with some good voice acting from Bruce Willis, Gary Shandling, and Nick Nolte.

I’m sure you were already informed: the beams off the fingers and toes thing was from the original animated version of Beauty and the Beast..

Fun Fact: Farquaad was basically a sly way for the filmmakers to get away with saying "f**kwad" in a kid's movie.

Fiona's curse was that she was human by day and ogre by night but if she actually kissed Farquaad or some other human, she mostly likey would have become a human or rather stay human forever, while she stayed an ogre because her was for an ogre like Shrek, so it could have gone either way depending on who she loved.

How am I just now finding you?? You’re so underrated!!

My favorite Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy movie 💚, super excited for Shrek 5!

John Lithgow is Farquad and is quite tall. Brilliant comedic actor.

I believe the introduction of the choices that the enchanted mirror show Lord Farquod is from a 1960s USA game show called “The Dating Game”.

Actually technically Farquaad DID marry Fiona cuz they both said "I do" and Shrek was too late for the objection as you're suppoused to say "I object" when the priest say "speak now or forever hold your peace" and if you take too long he'll say "And now I hereby declare you husband and wife", so yes Farquaad became King as he married Fiona, a princess.

Yeah, the Dragon eats the bad guy. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

SOMEBODAY

When Fiona transforms and the light is coming off of her I think you were remembering beast from beauty and the beast.

Fiona was a human princess who was cursed when she was young to transform into an ogre at night. She was placed in a tower so her true love could rescue her and break the curse. What no one realized is that because love is blind, "love's true form" is the ugly, not socially accepted form as opposed to the beautiful traditional fairytale form. Thus her true love, Shrek, doesn't care that she's not pretty when Farquaad wanted to have her locked back in the tower. Can't wait for you to watch Shrek two!

the Voice of Lord Farkward is from John Litgow, who you probably reconize from the sitcom third rock from the sun

Shrek 2 is hands down the best sequel! And I'm very excited to see your reaction to it. Also: Fiona is a human princess that was cursed at a very young age (I'm fairly sure the fairytale Shrek was reading at the very beginning was Fiona's story) to turn into an ogre from sunset to sunrise. The exact words of Fiona's curse are "By night one way, By day another." (her changing into an ogre every night) "This shall be the norm until you find true love's first kiss." (Shrek is her true love) "And then take true love's form." (she took the form of Shrek, an ogre). I'm also fairly positive the Fairy Godmother (who you'll meet in the sequel) is the one who cursed her in the first place.

She was born human. She was cursed to be an ogre. The reason why she stayed an ogre after Shrek kissed her is because she truly loved Shrek and he loved her.

Lord Farquaad obviously have a Napoleon complex, he hates for being so short so that's why he wears an oversized armor when he rides to appear taller and has the figure on the cake be taller than he really is. Fiona doesn't mind him being short, though.
