Fun fact about this movie: animators who didn’t work “up to standards” on Prince of Egypt were sent to work on Shrek as a “punishment”. They called it “getting Shreked”. Today, Shrek is known all across the world and is far more iconic than its creative nemesis.

To be fair, though, if we're talking about quality of animation, I think it kind of shows. Regardless of whether or not Shrek became a juggernaut franchise, if we're to compare the animation of the first Shrek film and the Prince of Egypt, the latter has absolutely stunning animation, while the former is rough around the edges (without factoring in the 3D animation of the time, that is). Shrek is still a great movie, but the composition of the animation team doesn't really surprise me.

Hell yeah and I live in the Digimon movie when they play “One Week” by Barenaked Ladies.

The hankercheif thing is really, really old. I dont know when it became a symbol of a maidens favor, but they would often bestow them to knights or champions. If you were in love with the knight, you'd tie the handkerchief around his wrist, and it was supposed to be a blessing to guide them safely back from battle, and a ward against evil. If a knight recieved or was seeking favor from a noble lady, it would be common for them to dedicate victories in tournaments in the name of their admired. It wasnt just a courtship thing, but it was most of the time.

Fun Fact: Mike Myers originally recorded Shrek's lines without a Scottish accent, and only later convinced the producers to let him go back and re-recorded the character with the accent.

We meme on Shrek a lot, but it had a large and irreversible effect on American pop culture, especially for the next several years after it’s release.

The song "Bad Reputation" 14:40 . Was played on the end credits of One Piece Film: Z by Avril Lavigne.

I remember in high school during junior year, 2 years before pandemic, our chemistry class watched Shrek cause it was close to the end of the school year and we finished exams, the most memorable thing to me was when the opening came on and everyone sang smash mouth while eating pizza….good times

I've seen this movie countless times and I dont believe I ever noticed the mama bear rug or why baby bear was crying. Holy crap awesome catch! Please do the rest, I love seeing your reactions to stuff.

Fun fact; Remember the three bears from Puss In Boots: The Last Wish? If you looked closely at each of the bears, the Papa bear and Baby bear looked more disheveled/messy/ beat up than Momma bear. This would make sense considering the events of Shrek 1, being stressed out, tortured, and left in cages. Considering Momma bear was killed and turned into a rug in the original Shrek, this would suggest the Momma bear from The Last Wish is an entirely different bear from the original, one who hasn't endured the same painful events/conditions as the other two bears, showing continuity between the movies!

It wasn’t so much that it was bad, but that there was so little different that you may as well just watch the original. Farquad is a deadbeat son of the seven dwarves who got kicked out and that’s why he hates fairytale creatures and is short. Fiona gets a song about growing up in the castle waiting to be rescued. There you go, those are their only two real additions to the story.

Shrek is one of the funniest movies. Eddie Murphy as Donkey is too much, great songs, dark humor and funniest moments. Fiona is a badass princess with some awesome fighting moves. RIP to Steve Harwell, lead singer of Smash Mouth 🎵🎵🎵🫏🫏🫏😢😢😢🤣🤣🤣

That handkerchief is not just royalty. It´s a token given by a lady to a knight and later on a gentleman. That´s why you always see it featured in Musketeer movies. In medieval ones a veil is more common, especially during joust tournaments. And still during bull fights in Spain (you know the lady throwing it to the torero)?

First off that's a cropped vest. I've been studying clothes and fashion, and when it comes to the length of clothes both men and women can fit into two categories. Petite(cropped or visually broken up) Balanced(about the hip line or a seamless look) Vertical(below knee or unbroken) So say you have petite(means you look narrow or small all over), you'd want a cropped vest. Shrek... well it doesn't work on Shrek. Shrek has Width, so it just looks very tight. Because Petite and Width cannot go together. If he was narrower and then shorter, it'd look good. But he's not.

In the medieval time period, the vest would have been considered the outer garment and the white shirt would have been akin to underwear. So when you see some movie or show where they are wearing the vest open with the white shirt exposed, they are wearing it wrong (as that is styled in a modern sense).

"If simps existed in the medieval times era" You really think they didn't? Of course many peasants simped for queens and princesses, and probably even kings and princes. You could even argue the idea of "courtly love", which was when knights pined for married noblewomen with no expectation that their love would be requited, was basically simping and it was seen as very common and highly noble.

3:23 Back in Medieval Europe most common pieces of men’s clothes were tunic and trousers. The thing is though, the materials were different and reflected social status: wealthy folks wore expensive cotton (back then) and poorer members of communities can afford mostly sheep wool (sometimes home-made). But in both cases clothes could quickly get dirty and since not everyone had multiple sets of clothes, jackets and vests were solution. At least most visible areas on chest and back were covered by either well-crafted silk half-jacket or simple yet comfortable vest made of cows leather. Deferent time, but drip was important even then. Maybe much more. P.S. Yes, in Mediaeval period people of all social classes laundered their clothes and washed themselves with soup. They just done it once or twice per week.

We will never forget you Steve Harwell. You will be a Rock Star and an All-Star. Rest well.

1st of all, year you were correct about Chris Farley supposedly being the Shrek main character. But honestly, from what I've heard, the story had about 2 major re-writes, so even if they wanted to use most of his dialog, it wouldn't have fit. 2nd, half jackets/vests. It honestly depends. On one hand, it could be altered from a full tunic that had either stains or cuts/holes that were difficult to patch, and just worn as layers to protect against the elements. On the other hand, it's cheaper to make half a shirt than a full shirt, and if you're laboring outside, it would make movement easier to do while remaining clothed.

Bro, I just found your channel and really enjoyed the reaction to the film! Shrek is my favorite animated film and it's so good with how original, crazy and funny it is. Cool video!

If you notice the opening joke where he wipes with the book pages, that shows something about his character. He despises “true love’s first kiss,” and other fairy tale things that a lot of people believe so much; he literally wipes his ass with it. Both a very subtle joke, and an obvious one.

Fiona legit fights like current mortal kombat characters

It's true. Chris Farley was originally going to be Shrek.He got partway through recording and then died, and Mike Myers took up the role to honor his late friend. Shrek was originally supposed to have an American accent too, and Mike originally recorded the movie with one, but thought of the Scottish accent later and convinced the studio to let him rerecord all of his own lines because he thought it was so much better. Given Farley's issues with his own body image and depression throughout his life, the movie ended up being a kind of accidental posthumous tribute to him. So many of the movies and skits he was in in his life used his weight as a joke, and this one project was one he was a part of that had a real positive message. Poor guy never got to see it become one of the most popular movies ever.

Oh, y'all have to watch the musical. Love it or hate it, it's something to experience😂

Can we just take a second to discuss how Shrek and Fiona's breath was so nasty that is allowed a frog and snake to float

As for the Madagascar movies I recommend the trilogy. All 3 are mostly comedic movies with a little bit of heart, at least more comedic than Shrek here. But overall the trilogy is good, personally I think 2, 3, 1 is my personal order for which I like most. All are good but 2 and 3 are better than 1 I think. Or personally speaking. The Penguins had a host of spin off stuff to them, special shorts, tv series and their own movie. I recommend the Christmas special of them, the TV series is funny I think, and the movie is enjoyable. So that's what I recommend on the the Penguins of Madagascar side of things. The series I will say I think is hard to find the whole series from season 1 to the final season so keep that in mind. The TV series is a comedy with their whole spy theme as the central focus.

I rhink my fave thing about this being an antithesis to Disney is that shrek and fiona get to know each other over time before falling in love. It isnt just right away.

Fun Fact: lord Farquads name is a play on Fuckwad. And he's short cause it's a play on compensation

You should watch the three Madagascar movies they're all rpetty good, also ice age those are great too

The vests were short because people were poor, so they could not afford to replace most of their clothes after they were getting older. Most people had only 3 pairs of shoes throughout their lives. Vests and jackets especially were something that was made to be huge on them when younger, then by the teenage years(or the adulthood) to fit properly.

Shrek was a generation, my dudes

I am so ready for this Shrek journey can’t wait for them to see rest the films

This movies has so much adult humor that goes over kids heads, it’s hard not to burst out laughing when watching this as an adult😂

Late to the party but, Brimstone does refer to something that reeks of sulfur. So the candles they were talking about were actually quite accurate... I don't know why they'd make one but whatever xD

In Latin America Donkey Instead of saying he'll make Waffles, he says "and in the morning I'm making Tamales" xd

I love how these guys saw The Last Wish but didn't even watch Shrek yet XD It's great how Puss' movie really attracted so much love from fans who havent even seen other parts of the Shrek franchise

In the version I watched on vhs parfait was never mentioned. Donkey was talking about everybody likes cake and cakes have layers.

It isnt unusual that peasants, especially young poor farmhands could not afford enough cloth to make new clothes. And since farmhands were poor, had no land or real home of their own, they did not have a woman to sewn their clothes, generally gender roles were heavily reinforced, so few men and boys learn to handle a needle and thread, and those who did didn't have time for something elaborate. So most clothes were kept, even when they outgrew them, or modified/patched with whatever scraps they had. Cloth was very very expensive, and finished clothes even more so. A linen shirt was super valuable, enough so you could and did pawn your shirt when short on coin, it was pretty much The most valuable item on your person.

Please watch all of Shrek and Madagascar! I'm sure many would be interested and they're hilarious

The half vest was bc they were mainly made from a stiff leather and would not bend easy

2:38 "Do the Roar!" 😊

Brimstone is sulfur, old school word for it. She; sulfur burns it melts and gets gooey, so a large amount on fire could actually turn in to “a lake” but it would be so dang hot and smelly you’d just about die walking over it. Also the flames are sorta invisible, well not very visible. Makes it dangerous.
