Also Donkey is known for avoiding seriously tense situations because he's a happy-go-lucky guy and ALSO the writers are aware that he's a comic relief character who would be too distracting and annoying in certain scenes that didn't require comedy.
Something to sweeten Jennifer Saunders here: She was put up for the role of fairy godmother by Stephen Spielberg himself, after he got hold of her audition tape for Ursula. Yes, THAT Ursula.
My favorite exchange in the entire movie: Shrek: How do ya feel? Donkey: I don't....feel any different. I look any different? Puss In Boots: You still look like an ass to me. Donkey gives Puss a "Boy, shut up" look 😂🤣
Also note the competence of the palace guards. They see a giant gingerbread siege engine coming at them, what do they do? Break out the hot milk!
I love how Puss In Boots The Last Wish has made so many people watch the Shrek movies. Seeing him appear for the first time in this one is pretty great when you know how much he grows in The Last Wish!
4:18 - 4:32 And uh... knowing what dragon was going through, that makes his action of running away even more insensitive lol
Shrek is classic and will always be something I hold dear as I saw it theatres.... But Shrek 2 is literally how a sequel is done right. Not a cash grab. Not lackluster or piggybacking the same plot. Just a natural continuation.
13:26 One more thing, I do love the movie's foreshadowing with the lily pads and Fiona's parent's first date together.
25:03 The Dragon had turned into a pegasus when the Donkey had turned into a white horse. They just couldn't or didn't want to put it in the movie, so that the story would focus more on Shrek and his problems, than on the Donkey.
Just like most awesome sequels out there, this takes everything that people loved about the original film, and make it twice as better.
On the topic of fighting for love/letting go those you love, I would like to refer to a very wise man's words: "A friend need not be kept within sight or within reach. A friend must be allowed the freedom to find and follow his own path. If one is fortunate, those paths will for a time join. But if paths separate, it is comforting to know that a friend still graces the universe with his skills, and his viewpoint, and his present. For if one is remembered by a friend, one is never truly gone." In my view the same is true about loved ones/things you love. Letting go of those we love is simply allowing them the freedom of choice, instead of like, guilt tripping them or trying to force ourselves onto them. One can of course voice their reasonings and arguments on the pros and cons of each choice, but at the end of the day both parties need to make their own choices, whether they create consensus or not.
I remembered watching this movie a lot as a kid. And the DVD menu from Shrek 2 is iconic!

I'd say this movie is the greatest argument that Dreamworks is the best at making sequels compared to most western animation studios. Shrek 2 isn't just a great movie in its own right but it does everything a sequel should do.
The scene when shrek chokes on the spoon kills me everytime😂🤣
OMG I never realized. They have that Sir Justin Timberlake joke and then he plays Arthur in the third movie.

Shrek 2 is a great movie with excellent humor, nice music and animation, likable characters, action AND a fantastic villain. Also, the bonus short '' Far far away idol! '' is hilarious! I always have a good time when i watch it 😄😂
1:16 I don't remember if the curse was ever explained. But my theory is that it was Fairy Godmother herself who secretly cursed her so she could convince the royal parents to get Fiona locked in a tower where her son, Charming can rescue her, marry her and be the new ruler of Far Far Away.
Definitely the best Dreamworks movie ever, possibly even the best animated movie of all time in general, I said what I said.

I remember my friends and I quoting (in French version) the entire movie during our art classes with our teacher totally « omg make them shut up » 😂 I still remember almost all the quotes and songs, that movie is so classic !
Now that there's an official Puss in Boots movie set before this, if Puss had taken the potion, that would mean it would’ve affected Kitty Softpaws. It would've been HILARIOUS if nothing happened, cause they're already perfect.

Next to puss in boots the last wish, This movie is my favorite sequel
The Hawaii Five 0 theme song on the trumpet always gets me. The original show ended long before this movie came out and when I first saw Shrek 2 I was a fan of the 2010 remake so its kind of funny I recognized the tune. This is a prime example of how a sequel can be just as good or better than the original a great plot good character development and a great villain. Also Puss in Boots was an awesome addition it was nice to have a hero with grit. Also looking back the movie really got away with a lot that would not get past censors these days the fairy’s comment about the ‘confused wolf’ the knights ‘arresting’ Shrek Donkey and the catnip on Puss and also Donkey’s food comment.
14:36 its a reference to a real life popular restaurant, Bob's Big Boy
19:56 His cute little face. 🥺
I’ve always been haunted by the thought of dragon flying and turning into a horse in the middle of the sky. Imagine the poor babies seeing their mom turn into a horse and plummet to the ground.

Yayaa Shrek 2 🎉🎉 this was a great reaction keep up the great work Sophie
You wanted to know about Fiona's curse. It's explained in this movie if you were paying attention. You see, the king was once a frog that fell in love with a princess. He had Fairy Godmother change him into a human so that the princess wouldn't consider him ugly, after all, happiness is just a teardrop away! Anyway, Fiona's curse comes from the fact that he was a frog. Now we know the true nature of Fairy Godmother, in that she uses her magic to serve her own self interests. The princess was heir to the Kingdom of Far, Far Away, so very wealthy, and when the former frog dude marries the princess, well, he'd be king, now, wouldn't he? Always good to have very powerful people beholden to you. I really wouldn't be surprised if Fairy Godmother KNEW that a child from such a union would be cursed! So when the curse manifests, instead of removing it, which she probably had the power to do, well, to paraphrase, 'I think I could use this to my advantage'! She convinces the king to lock Fiona in a tower so that she might eventually be 'rescued' and planting in her mind that fantasy of 'Prince Charming'. I wouldn't be surprised if FG talked the king into pushing the idea on Fiona while she was very young so to be more susceptible! So all went according to plan until one day, some guy with delusions of grandeur messes with an ogre, and well, you know the rest....
There's a collection of fantasy/fairytale novels by Jenniffer Wardell that also subvert a lot of the typical fairytale formula. They're all set in the same universe, but each novel is it's own standalone story(though a few make vague references to events of other novels). Fairy Godmother's Inc. is the 1st and basically takes the idea of Fairy Godmothers being a trademarked industry, and things get pretty crazy. Beast Charming does something very different with the 'beauty & the beast' concept, and Fighting Sleep(actually a rewrite of their own novel Dreamless) flips the 'sleeping beauty' concept on it's head. Two Left Feet plays with the '12 dancing princesses' fairytale, and Huff & Puff actually loosely plays with the '3 little pigs' story. Then Once Upon a Tale is a collection of little short stories of characters from the other full-length novels to give a little peak into their backstories or a follow-up on how the 'happily ever after' is going(only Fairy Godmother's Inc. give a look into after the novel). They're pretty entertaining(though some lines may leave you quite shocked).
29:01 This scene was so funny to me as a kid. 😂
Very pleased that this was just the palette cleanser you needed after suffering through ‘Nevermind vs The Dumb Syndicate’…

25:04 there's scrapped concept art showing it turned her into a Pegasus.
That Fairy Godmother is a Karen. And hating Mondays... Wasn't that Garfield reference?
Thanks for the video Sophie! :)
I personaly believe the theory, that Fairy God Mother has cursed Fiona herself. It was like a long running game to marry her to Godmother's son later and make him a king. Also I've seen a theory somewhere, that since Charming isn't fairy or has not any magical abilities, and since he probably doesn't have a father, there is a chance that Fairy has "made" Charming not naturally but magically. Idk. I love Shrek
It's great seeing Sophie enjoy this sequel after The Doom Syndicate
I didn't know that you watching a movie you've already seen (and love) could be as much fun as you watching a movie for the first time!
Hey, Sophie let me give you a reminder about the first Shrek movie scene where Fiona having a conversation with Donkey she mentions a witch that cursed her. At 22:22 Sophie let give you a quick history lesson of why Disney referenced in Shrek is because Jeffrey Katzenberg used to work for Disney when Frank Miller died from a helicopter crash Katzenberg sees this as an opportunity to become president of Disney but Michael Eisner was hesitant about it. They had a talk about Katzenberg got no sympathy for Miller’s death and so Katzenberg quite and co-founded DreamWorks. Unfortunately for Eisner he got a bad case of jealousy and testosterone poisoning for cgi successful films from other studios, and he destroyed the Disney company from within such as destroying the first draft of Chicken Little where Chicken Little was originally a girl whose terrified of monsters got send to summer, ABC on the brink of collapsing itself, the theme parks are joke right after the embracing opening of California Adventure, never ending failures of Disneyland Paris (due to the French not liking the idea of American institution in France) and poor handling of the animation division. When Roy E. Disney (nephew of Walt Disney and Walt’s older brother Roy O. Disney) made a campaign to get rid off Eisner from the company.
I glad you watch full series of Shrek! P.S. Please, react to animation "Beowulf" (2007)

If I remember right the concept for Dragon was to have her turn into a pegasus but they couldn't fit it into the story so they scrapped it
Shrek is one of my favorite movies
You've said we don't talk about the 3rd and 4th movies, but that's a shame... Even though the 3rd one is... well... what it is... the 4th is actually very good. The 3rd one is just the black sheep, a very black sheep. Maybe we could just skip The Third and go straight to the Final Chapter?
About the Curse on Fiona, it could have been Fairy godmother who orchestrated it
Puss in Boots: "I hate mondays" Sophie: "I'm filming this on a monday" Me: "I'm watching this on a monday"
Shrek: Let's take the cat with us. Donkey: We don't need a cat sidekick Shrek takes the cat anyway Cat and donkey: living la vida locaaaaa
Hi Sophie hope you are having an great and awesome day ❤
Mermaids was like no wonder dreamworks hates us
17:44 chestburster from alien 👽 29:12 that’s the cops reference.
There's a theory that the Fairy Godmother is the one who cursed Fiona to set in motion events to marry her off to Prince Charming.
He wasnt naive when he listen to gi to hunt at early morning.Think about time of our royals who also got early to hunt where in forest was most animals.
Ariel because Disney and dreamworks don’t get around
Loved your reaction as always💗 You should check out society of the snow, i would love to hear what you have to say about that one
Yup, perfect movie.
There is a theory that the Fairy Godmother was actually the one who cursed Fiona. I think that there is a video on KZread, which had interesting points about this theory,
What is everyone favorite song in Shrek 2, cause my two favorite songs are I Need A Hero and Funkytown.
The curse: Fionna was the daughter of a human an a magically transformed frog, therefore she was an hybrid human/amphibian (an ogre). She transformed day/night as a inherited side effect of the transformation spell. The Fairy Godmother could have cured it from day one, instead convinced her parents to lock her away, until the time was right for her son to grow up, marry her, “dispel” the curse and inherit the crown of Far, Far Away. But Shrek arrived first. My personal take on it.

*K.N.I.G.H.T.S.* scene is an EPIC masterpiece! 🤣👍👏
It looks like Sophie, I really enjoyed this movie, it's a fun movie, I don't deny it, it has adult themes, the problems of meeting your in-laws, or how society only pays attention to pretty people, not ugly ones, and many more themes. Is marriage true? Or is it horrible for man that's why I never wanted marriage
Great movie.
YESSS
28:01 thanks but I already knew that xD
I always be watching this more than the 1st. This is better in Spanish because it’s funnier but I still watch in both languages
This is the first sequel in history to be better than the first one. 3:38 Not the Spiderman Kiss.😘 4:01 I love how Eddie is known in the animation world as s dragon and then Married a dragon; It’s very fitting. 5:15 Cause every Fairytale known to Man, starts of with “Once upon a time, In a kingdom FAR FAR AWAY” 7:01 When I was Younger I thought it was “Taco Bell” bruh.🤦🏻♀️ 7:12 Of Course Cause the Princesses are technically Royalty. Rapunzel, married a Prince. Cindy, Married a Prince. Sleeping Beauty, She was already A Princess, Etc. 8:22 Same. Like Salads, Meat, Fruit, Nuts?🫤 15:31 RIP Larry king.💔 20:57 Everything about this Screams illegal. There’s no way that this is Legal. 21:16 A hint?!
sophie, shrek 4 is actually good. it has less jokes, but more character developments and drama. i would be happy if you will make a reaction!
30:55 I was waiting for this moment from the previous video 😅😅. Please can you make about the third movie?
4:46-4:48 it’s not that Reggie was bad it’s that he’s too talented for his current occupation
25:07 Well honey writers say she will become a pegasus ;) Sadly we didn't see her like that
May i suggest watching th disney movie 'Dinosaur' of th 2000? Hoping it will be a '1st time reaction'
Just remember that anybody who gives any guff to the Fairy Godmother can expect a visit from the Fairy God FATHER... ... he'll make you an offer you can't refuse...
SHERK 3
Actually its not always midnight! That's the joke! Its always the stroke of 12! The stroke of 12 isn't midnight, it's when the clock's bell rings 12 times. By specifying midnight, it actually IS midnight!
It is really great! Personally, I like the How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy better, but Shrek is also really good!
I really wanna know what this movie could've turned out if Shrek broke the window which he could do to get Fiona's attention.
NOW THIS is a good sequel to a popular Dreamworks movie, Megamind. Unpopular Opinion - I actually "like" Shrek the Third, though there's no way I'd watch the 4th movie. I found it pretty dull and unmemorable when I was a kid, did NOT have a good time with that one.

I have to agree... people be acting like Shrek the Third is so bad, when it's a masterpiece in comparison to Megadud 2 💀 (and a decent movie on its own, I stand by my words). I remembered not liking the fourth movie as well, but when I rewatched it like a month or two ago it was pretty decent. My least fave in the series, but still enjoyable. The Shrek franchise (4 original movies + 2 PIB movies) has no duds, truly the best what Dreamworks has to offer.
