Evolution of SHREK - 32 Years Explained | CARTOON EVOLUTION

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Hope you all loved the Shrek Evolution! Let me know what YOUR favourite Shrek movie or appearance is right here!!

[@am2382]

Shrek 2 was a masterpiece.

[@animationnerd2748]

Shrek 1 and 2 are My Favorite Shrek Movies

[@benmalsky9834]

Absolutely Dave!

[@guysmith5505]

Shrek 2 in my opinion was the best in the series

[@mariaabel3859]

Shrek 1 master class

[@jennifergriel861]

If that Chris Farley version dialogue ever leaks in its entirety, you know it’s going to become one of the most epic KZbin re-animated projects ever devised.

[@benmalsky9834]

You know Dave, you’re very lucky that that test footage was leaked online this year. Thank you to whoever uploaded that to the internet, you have helped preserve film history and helped us uncover more there is to know about Shrek’s incredible development story.

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

VERY lucky indeed! Thanks, Ben!

[@mevb]

Another reason for Mike Myers re-recording his lines with a scottish accent is because his mother used to read fairy tales for him when he was a kid, in a scottish accent, thinking the accent fits a fairy tale.

[@DanGamingFan2406]

This ogre is an absolute icon who set the precedent for animated movies to this day. These movies know how to make pop songs and references really work while still keeping a strong emotional core (except in The Third). His impact on animation and my childhood is immeasurable.

[@benmalsky9834]

It’s really interesting how Shrek and Toy Story’s development stories are very much alike. They both were very different early on, the main characters were unrecognizable from how we know them, and they both could have ended up being disasters. But luckily with some reworking of their stories and their protagonists and perseverance, they ended up being huge sensations, and two of the most influential animated films of all time. They are both in my eyes very inspirational stories, and show how if you’re working on something and it doesn’t work, don’t ever give up and have a great team alongside you to make something great.

[@JoeContext]

This is definitely unintentional but while Shrek parodied Disney's fairytales more than anything, I think the character himself (in the movies) works as an anti-Mickey Mouse of sorts. They're both the most iconic animated characters of their companies and have iconic ear designs and serve as underdogs, yet while Mickey is short, cute, cheerful and optimistic, Shrek is big, less conventionally appealing and a little more of a pessimist (but still a good guy). This even works outside their characters:Mickey was a star of many short films and has been an ongoing franchise for nearly a century (though Disney have actually been a bit conservative with him), while Shrek has mostly just been used in his movie quadrilogy. What Mickey advanced in 2D animation, Shrek did (or could be debated to have done) for 3D. Since audience demand toned him down, to this day Disney fears for Mickey's brand image to the point it's arguably done more harm to it and simultaneously keeps him an icon while somewhat alienating him as a character from pop culture, while Shrek thrives on his flaws being celebrated and memes rekindled a genuine love of the ogre by audiences.

[@SprigatittoSuperFan]

Shrek has been always my favorite childhood movies since I was a kid. Thanks Dave Lee for making this video.🙂

[@am2382]

The first 2 movies were flawless.

[@elizabethbotha5006]

I've never really seen or known much of the early version Shrek with Farley, so seeing all those concept drawings and test footage is truly fascinating. Shrek is just one of my many childhood nostalgic favorite movies. I actually found the book in a bookstore once but I could kick myself for not buying it

[@2429Ryanspeer]

I love this franchise its a childhood favorite

[@andrewsanusi8462]

Shrek has always been such an icon to me and to many others one of the best franchises ever.

[@lucasromualdo7003]

I think that the Broadway show is such an underated musical... I think that Shrek's character and personality are so much more explained here than the movie. The musical number "Who'I Be" in my opinion, is the representation of Shrek's true personality and it explains why he can't do any of the stuff he wants to, and he explain everything in this line "An ogre always hide, an ogre's fate is know". Translating, it means that Shrek wants to be a knight, a viking or even a poet. But because of the world jugding him just for his appearance, he is forced to be alone and hide from both society and his own feelings (and thats why Shrek needs Donkey on his side, to free him from his own shell).

[@BrennySpain]

The new dreamworks logo is absolutely incredible! If that’s not a sign the franchise is making a true comeback, I don’t know what is!

[@CaptainCat101]

It's no Megamind, but it'll do. I'm kidding, I love Shrek, and this was a great video

[@guysmith5505]

Somebody once told me that there’s a new cartoon evolution and I love it

[@nostalgiamostalgia0319]

Shrek is one of the most iconic characters ever!

[@nathancruz9172]

42:14 very impressed with the new cgi version of Shrek.

[@JustinFrazier_360]

So amazing franchise

[@BrennySpain]

I’m so glad Mike Myers gave shrek a Scottish accent. The character wouldn’t be as iconic without that voice at all!

[@danielburns987]

25 Years Later, Chris Farley is Still Sorely Missed!!!

[@wisconsinking323]

As much as I love Mike Myers Shrek I REALLY wish we could've got Chris Farley's version, I recently heard on a podcast the first Shrek videogame is apparently based on the original version of Shrek (Chris Farley version of the movie).

[@lucasromualdo7003]

WOW!!! I think this may be one of the LONGEST videos by the series... As for my favorite Shrek's appearance, I think both the 2nd movie and the Broadway show are tied in 1st place!! Great video as always Dave👍🏻👍🏻

[@normanmccultureboy6492]

Batman?

[@MrBallerinakaka]

I Enjoyed All Shrek Movies (Expect Third) Because Shrek Is Indeed Most Iconic Characters Of DreamWorks Animation And He Was Seen As Good Guy (Since Shrek 2) Also Im Really Like New CGI Design Of Shrek :)

[@benmalsky9834]

What’s my favorite Shrek line? I got to say, in the scene from the first film where they save Fiona and she and Shrek have just met, the line “Well I got to save my ass.” really gets me. The way how Shrek is of course referring to Donkey, but Fiona takes often as she thinks he means saving himself, to me, it’s adult humor done right.

[@carminecdinoproductions]

Mike Myers also drew inspiration for his new Shrek voice from the time he portrayed the title character from the SNL Lothar of the Hill People sketches!

[@CrazyUFOKid]

i love this series of yours, learning about the history of animated characters is very interesting

[@sashamurashi225]

Somebody once told me ..... this franchise will never die

[@benmalsky9834]

With Shrek being such a universally beloved, landmark film, I really wonder why no bit of footage of either Chris Farley’s version or Mike Myers old voice recordings before he came up with the Scottish accent have been released publicly. I can’t tell if it’s because of legal issues with the families of both actors or if it has to do with them not being proud of the preliminary version of the movie, similar to how Pixar is not proud of the early iteration of Toy Story before Woody was reworked to be more appealing. Just like how with that movie, even a single seen of the early animatics managed to make it to home video, for historical sakes I think it’s important to see some of it officially someday.

[@marvelfan3634]

Great Video Dave Lee Down Under

Great stuff as always, Dave! The first 2 Shrek movies are my favorites and when I was in high school, I was in a production of Shrek: The Musical, playing as the Forest Guard and the voice of a screaming rabbit. I also remember when Shrek was added to the National Film Registry in 2020; it was my second to last film on my nomination list and the only one that made there. I nominated Shrek 2 for this year, so fingers crossed!

[@Shadowluigi-pj9nq]

Shrek 2 is a top tier film. It's just insanely good

[@sambragg5227]

Awesome Video Dave

Hey there Dave! My favorite Shrek Film is Shrek 2 (2004) of course!

My Favorite DreamWorks Franchise 🌜👦🎣 Shrek Is My Favorite 👹💚🐴👸🏽🎩🐈🥾🗡️

[@christopherrichards2350]

Shrek is awesome

[@whiteowl5370]

I always loved watching the Movie Shrek, but it never changed the fact that members of DreamWorks we're unlucky to work on Shrek if they did something wrong in their other projects

[@Sondoku12]

Shrek is always been one of my favorite DreamWorks franchises and wow 32 years huh? I feel a little old now but hey it's my birthday

[@enriqueramirez0615]

SHReK is the most memorable character Icon for DreamWorks Animation and a beloved classic for the DreamWorks lexicon

[@enriqueramirez0615]

The creators from the 4th film of the SHReK franchise, (including Director "Mike Mitchell", Producer "Gina Shay", Editer Nick Fletcher, and cinematographer "Yong Duke Jhun") have worked on a another project which became a new franchise for the studio and that franchise was of course the DreamWorks Trolls and continue their work on the franchise with "Walt Dohrm" as director, producer and voice performances for the sequels, specials and TV series.

[@callumnoone7127]

Shrek Is Love, Shrek Is Life.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

40:01 I believe he may be a reference to the Ogre from the original story of Puss in Boots

[@LowellLucasJr.]

Great coverage as always dave! While I don't share a lot of nostalgia for the character like many do, I did respect it's hilarious stabs at Disney and hilarious spin on fantasy! I also agree that Shrek 2 and put some boots were a great additions to the franchise as a whole despite katzenberg making this a Revenge series against Disney. Thanks again for everything my brother from Down Under!

[@benmalsky9834]

Shrek the Third imo is like what Shrek 2 could have been had they not taken the success of the first one for granted and took it seriously.

[@Sevenigma777]

Even though i have suspicions it wouldnt have been as good, i still really wanted to see Chris Farley's version of Shrek.

[@BR-jw7pm]

SomeBODY once told us that Shrek was gonna rock us! We weren’t the brightest bulbs in the lamp!…

[@JashawnGriffith]

I love your evolutions! 🤩👍🏽

[@DaveLeeDownUnder]

Thank you!

[@JashawnGriffith]

@@DaveLeeDownUnder Anytime! :D

[@enriqueramirez0615]

Fun fact: Puss actually made a tiny cameo in the 2023 DreamWorks film "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" appearing as a small plush toy (in a live-action setting) playing the keyboard as a clever parody of Charles Schmidt's "Keyboard Cat" 🎹 🐈

[@enriqueramirez0615]

Fun fact: in the third film installment the Arthur Pendragon is voiced by song writer and actor "Justin Timberlake" in his first appearance in a DreamWorks film with his next one being the iconic Trolls franchise as Branch.

[@BrennySpain]

Believe it or not, at one point chris Farley was actually going to play captain underpants in a live-action movie in the late 90s after the original book came out, but that got cancelled due to his death and obviously became an animated movie produced by dreamworks in 2017. Imagine how things would’ve been different if he never passed away.

[@benmalsky9834]

Wow! Fate really does work in mysterious ways.

[@BrennySpain]

@@benmalsky9834 it sure does! Look up the KZbin short if you don’t believe me…

[@benmalsky9834]

If they thought Shrek would have ended up an obscure cult film had the Farley iteration move forward, I imagine this Captain Underpants Farley-led film would have been surely that. What do you think?

[@BrennySpain]

@@benmalsky9834 yeah similar to the live-action super Mario movie from 1993 starring bob Hoskins and Dennis hopper. Remember that one at all? Lol

[@benmalsky9834]

@@BrennySpain I do! And I was thinking something along the lines of Cannon’s Masters of the Universe film with Dolph Lunderin or the 1994 Street Fighter movie with Jean Claude Van Dam and Raul Julia. Just these REALLY strange and bizarre 80s and 90s adaptations of children’s media before studios began taking stuff like that more seriously. Those were quite the trips.

[@mightyfilm]

I don't know how I'd feel about the next Shrek movie, but I would love to see an expanded universe of Spinoffs with other characters. I've loved what they've done with Puss in Boots so far, didn't see the Saturday Preview of the new movie, but something like that leading up to a new Shrek. Maybe give Donkey a solo adventure or something. As for the original films, I find the fourth one a nice send off to the early era of DWA. The one where they were trying to make more Shrek inspired "edgy" movies, but failed to get the same kind of quality and spirit. It seems to have a tone more like KFP and HTTYD, and there's a distinct lack of fart jokes. While not as grand as the first two, it certainly was a major improvement over the third one. That one felt rushed. It had good concepts, but the execution was sloppy.

[@frayhua9716]

How about an Pinocchio Evolution there a lot of versions of Disney classic from movies and animation but Disney's is the best.

[@spews1973]

I'd rank the Shrek films from best to worst as 1, 4, 2 and 3. I'll say it again. Shrek 5 better have a good story. And a clever title.

[@BrennySpain]

It’s gonna be really interesting to see if Cameron Diaz will eventually come back to voice Fiona in the shrek 5 revival. I really hope she does. The franchise won’t be the same without her!

[@sonicman1282]

It’s meme time

[@deskish3930]

Dicaprio as shrek, what would that even sound like

[@sashamurashi225]

hey Dave, have you ever thought about making a new series about animation companies or companies in general like maybe one about Walt Disney since it is turning 100 and that's a BIG deal

[@mayracordero382]

I love shrek dave and I love this video plus I love shrek 2 and I like the appearance of shrek in his own musical and mike myers is just funny and wonderful as shrek and I'm excted to see the reboot movie of shrek so happy 2 years to the lovable green orge!

[@travisboetjer9674]

So for Shrek 2, Shrek: Mike Myers Donkey: Eddie Murphy Fiona: Cameron Diaz Puss in Boots: Antonio Banderas King Harold: John Cleese Queen Lilian: Julie Andrews Prince Charming: Rupert Everett Fairy Godmother: Jennifer Saunders

Can you do the evolution of captain underpants because his 25th anniversary is next year i think

[@benmalsky9834]

I don’t usually condone stealing valuable information or resources from any film or game studio, but if anyone out there has ANY of either Chris Farley’s original Shrek recordings or Mike Myers’ original Shrek Canadian voice, go ahead and upload it to the internet! It’s always so great to learn more information on the production of films we all know and love, and really helps us appreciate them more than ever. You may risk getting copyright strikes or cease and desists, but they are worth it for preservation of our favorite pieces of media.

[@TriangleKing_YT]

Thank you for showing Prince of Egypt

[@mayracordero382]

I hope I'm not too late to comment and love shrek and my favorite movie is shrek 2 and I love the incredible hulk because he's green like shrek plus I'm happy to watch shrek in the reboot movie! 🤣💚🥰📗👍

[@saritasteel3178]

I just hope that in the Shrek 5 movie, once Disney buys DreamWorks, all the Official Disney Princes and Princesses from their respective movies appear, especially all the characters from Rise of the Guardians movie, from Frozen movies, from How to Train Your Dragon movies, from Brave movie, from Tangled movie, from Moana movie, from Raya and the Last Dragon movie, from Encanto movie and the most important character in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea, Melody, the daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, and thus, they will be the new main characters of the Shrek 5 movie so that they help Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, the children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, the children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and the others to defeat Rumpelstiltskin, Death and all the Official Villains of Disney and DreamWorks, as the Evil Queen, Lady Tremaine, Maleficent, Marina del Rey, Ursula, Gaston, Forte, Jafar, Sa'luk, Governor Ratcliffe, Shan Yu, Doctor Facilier, Mother Gothel, Zhan Tiri, Te Kā, Tamatoa, the Red Death, Drago Bludvist, Grimmel the Grimmel, Mor'du, Prince Hans, Pitch Black, the Druun, the Soldiers and Morgana, and to prevent Rumpelstiltskin, Death and the other Official Villains of Disney and DreamWorks from ruling and destroying the kingdom of Princess Fiona and King Artie called Far Far Away, Shrek along with his wife named Princess Fiona will need help from their new friends which are the Official Disney Princes and Princesses, as Prince Florian, Princess Snow White, Prince Charming, Princess Cinderella, Prince Philip, Princess Aurora, Prince Eric, Princess Ariel, Prince Adam, Princess Belle, Prince Aladdín, Princess Jasmine, Prince John Smith, Princess Pocahontas, Prince Li Shang, Princess Fa Mulan, Prince Naveen, Princess Tiana, Prince Flynn Rider, Princess Rapunzel, Maui, Queen Moana Waialiki, Hiccup Haddock, Princess Mérida, Kristoff Bjorgman, Queen Anna, Jack Frost, Princess Elsa, Princess Raya, Princess Mirabel Madrigal and Melody, although in reality, Melody is the first and only that she is not a true Official Disney Princess, because she made her debut in the movie of The Little Mermaid 2: Return to the Sea and it is also because she is the first and only daughter of an Official Disney Princess, but Shrek, Princess Fiona, Donkey, Dragon, Puss in Boots, Kitty Softpaws, Perrito, Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany, King Artie, Princess Guinevere, the children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle, and Felicia, the children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and the others also need Melody's help to protect and save their kingdom called Far Far Away away from Rumpelstiltskin, Death and the other Official Villains of Disney and DreamWorks, because she is the daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, but in the Shrek 5 movie, I also want to see the death of Queen Lillian, because since her husband named King Harold passed away in the Shrek 3 movie, she has felt heartbroken and that caused his own death in his kingdom called Far Far Away, and all the inhabitants of Princess Fiona and King Artie's kingdom called Far Far Away are saddened by the death of Queen Lillian, because now she is with her husband named King Harold in heaven, and now they have lost their queen, that means now the kingdom of Far Far Away needs a new queen and King Artie said that his love interest, girlfriend, fiancée and former classmate from Worcestershire school called Princess Guinevere would be the one to be the new Queen of Far Far Away, so King Artie decided to return to his old school called Worcestershire along with Shrek, with his older cousin Princess Fiona, with Donkey, with Dragon, with Puss in Boots, with Kitty Softpaws, with Perrito, with the children of Shrek and Princess Fiona: Fergus, Farkle and Felicia, with the children of Donkey and Dragon: Bananas, Parfait, Peanut, Eclair, Coco and Debbie and with the others to meet again with their friends from their school who are actually Prince Lancelot, Princess Tiffany and their love interest, girlfriend and fiancée Princess Guinevere to take them back to their kingdom called Far Far Away, and in the Shrek 5 movie, I also want to see the romance of all the Official Disney Princes and Princesses from their respective movies, especially the romance of Maui and Queen Moana Waialiki, the romance of Hiccup Haddock and Princess Mérida, the romance of Jack Frost and Princess Elsa, the romance of Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany and the romance of King Artie and Princess Guinevere, because I think in the Shrek 5 movie, Maui will be Queen Moana Waialiki's love interest, boyfriend and fiancé, while Hiccup Haddock will be Princess Mérida's love interest and boyfriend, Princess Tiffany will be Prince Lancelot's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée and Princess Guinevere will be King Artie's love interest, girlfriend and fiancée, because Queen Moana Waialiki is going to fall in love with Maui, Princess Mérida is going to fall in love Hiccup Haddock, Princess Tiffany is going to fall in love with Prince Lancelot and Princess Guinevere is going to fall in love with King Artie, but they don't know how to tell them their feelings towards them and neither how to win their hearts, because every time Queen Moana Waialiki gets too close to Maui when it comes to true love, she gets very nervous with him, while which in the case of Princess Mérida is also the same, because whenever Princess Mérida gets too close to Hiccup Haddock when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous with him, in the case of Princess Tiffany it is also the same, because whenever Princess Tiffany gets too close to Prince Lancelot when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, and in the case of Princess Guinevere too, because every time Princess Guinevere gets too close to King Artie when it comes to true love, she also gets very nervous around him, but luckily for them, Princess Fiona will help Queen Moana Waialiki to win the heart of Maui, also Princess Mérida to win the heart of Hiccup Haddock, also Princess Tiffany to win the heart of Prince Lancelot and also Princess Guinevere to win the heart of King Artie, and I also want that in the Shrek movie 5, Jack Frost will be Princess Elsa's love interest and boyfriend, because Jack Frost leaves fall in love with Princess Elsa, but he doesn't know how to tell her his feelings and how to win her heart, because every time Jack Frost gets too close to Princess Elsa when it comes to true love, he gets very nervous with her, but fortunately for him, Shrek will help Jack Frost to win the heart of Princess Elsa, except Princess Raya and Princess Mirabel Madrigal, because now they will be the only Official Disney Princesses who do not need to have love interests and who can remain single forever, and I also say the same for Melody, the daughter of Prince Eric and Princess Ariel, because like Princess Raya and Princess Mirabel Madrigal, she doesn't need a love interest either, but in the Shrek 5 movie, I also want to see the rivalry between King Artie and Queen Anna because they both want to compete in a challenge to see who is the best monarch a of a kingdom, that is, the best ruler of a kingdom, because both want to do what is best for their own kingdom, because King Artie wants to do what is best for his kingdom called Far Far Away because now he is the new King of Far Far and Queen Anna wants to do the best for their kingdom called Arendelle because now she is the new Queen of Arendelle, but at the end of the Shrek 5 movie, King Artie and Queen Anna become best friends in the world, because at the end of the Shrek 5 movie, they both learned from their mistakes that they have made since their challenge to compete to see who is the best monarch of a kingdom, that is, the best ruler of a kingdom, and that at the end of the Shrek 5 movie, King Artie and Princess Guinevere see their first true love kiss and that they become a romantic couple, just like Prince Lancelot and Princess Tiffany, and also that at the end of the Shrek 5 movie, Maui, Hiccup Haddock, Kristoff Bjorgman, Jack Frost, Prince Lancelot and King Artie become the new official members of the Official Disney Princes, while Queen Anna, Princess Elsa, Princess Mirabel Madrigal, Princess Tiffany and Princess Guinevere become the new official members of the Official Disney Princesses and that one day, Princess Tiffany will be the wife of Prince Lancelot and that they have a son and a daughter, that is, a family in the future, and that also Princess Guinevere is the wife of King Artie, that they also have a son and a daughter, that is, a family and that she becomes the new Queen of Far Far Away in the future.

[@MilasMixMedia]

I love shrek I grew up with shrek my entire life. I really loved Shrek 2 that is like the best film ever made. I never knew that Shrek came from the books or be adapted by books. I've heard of others things a bit like Chris Farley and the guy that he was based on a bit. But I didn't know that the Shrek movies grossed ALOT of money and that the sequel of Shrek 2 grossed over than its predecessor of the first movie. You can say Shrek is fairytale adapted in the books and in film.

[@FantasticBeasts2024]

Crazy that Steven Speilberg (who produced franchises: Jurassic Park/World, Indiana Jones. Transformers, Gremlins) almost helmed both Harry Potter & Shrek.

DreamWorks Animation would actually split from the main DreamWorks company in 2004, taking PDI with them. PDI remained a division of the then independent DreamWorks Animation until its closure in 2015 due to a restructuring at the studio.

[@montanajackson3713]

Shrek will always be one of my favorite movies. The sequel is top tier.

Sorry, no plans to cover either - and if I were to, they’d both be covered in the one video.

[@AYoungMusicianDude]

Now that you’re moving to other types of animation do you think you could consider some stop motion characters?? I know a lot of people are hoping you do a video on the evolution of Gumby.

Since your technically talking about a book franchise in this video do you think you could do curious George next?

[@enriqueramirez0615]

Have Dave Lee I have a brain storming suggestion for your 2023 cartoon evolution I really liked your Cartoon Evolution theme to a DreamWorks franchise. You think you can do the same thing with two other franchises that i enjoyed the most. 1) "How to Train Your Dragon" (2003-2023)🐲 celebrating 20 years Based on the book series written by a British author "Cressida Cowell" and was bought and created for DreamWorks Animation 2) "Trolls" (1959-2023)🌈 celebrating 64 years Based on the original dolls created by danish woodcarver "Thomas Dam" and was bought and created for DreamWorks Animation. You think you could do these DreamWorks theme cartoon evolution videos this year?

[@Grover1234]

My favorite will be Shrek 2 just cause of the scene where Shrek and others are chained up and Gingy comes to save them. The whole part with Pinocchio talking about wearing woman's underwear. That had me cracking up the whole time and I still enjoy it when it airs on TV. The first one will always be a neat and endearing movie but the 2nd one is my all time favorite. I do have the first 3 soundtracks but I didn't really care for the 4th one. I couldn't get into the whole Shrek not being born like the "It's A Wonderful Life" movie. I still went and saw it in theaters but it just didn't get the first time. It's grown on me a little. I wouldn't mind seeing a whole new installment of movies of Shrek and friends. I'd call it more of a continuation of the franchise then a reboot. If they like Dave has said they want to keep the original voice actors then it's more of just newer stories of the characters then a reboot with a whole new cast. Oh Dave not sure if you knew about it and if you did and just thought it wasn't good enough material for this video I do understand. There was a Christmas album with songs of Shrek and Donkey first Chrsitmas together. It's pretty funny and I love the songs too

[@brianlevine871]

Regarding the book, I remember seeing a copy of it when my 6th grade English class was prepping for a poem/short stories assignment. My classmates and I were surprised to learn about said book since it was about a year or two after the first film debuted. Though speaking of its author, I remember reading "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble" as a kid, which was an interesting 'be careful what you wish for' type of story that also featured donkeys. As for the movies, the first two were amazing, the third installment was okay, the fourth one was decent, and "Puss in Boots" was a solid spinoff. Heck, I liked some of the products that came with the first movie, especially the 'Ogre-sized' M&Ms. I also really can't wait for "The Last Wish."

[@BrennySpain]

The penteverate waa definitely a bizarre series lol

[@michaelmyers4577]

Dave animaniacs reboot will be ending February 17th

[@BrennySpain]

Funnily enough, Nicholas Cage did eventually star in another dreamworks franchise. That being the croods. Which worked out so much better in the long run. Still hoping for a 3rd movie someday.

[@BrennySpain]

Personally I hope the eventual shrek 5 does bring back the idea of his parents or his side of the family as that’s what the original story would’ve been for the movie if it had released back in 2013. Now that puss in boots the last wish is almost out, anything is possible. I really want to see more of kitty softpaws and the new dog character piretro too. He really is a scene stealer I think!

[@eligamesentertainment]

I’ve been pondering on this idea for a while but I think it’s something that’ll hopefully interest you…..why not do cartoon evolutions on web toons or internet cartoons like honestar runner or Eddsworld….idk I think it’ll be a good idea! Btw I love your work and your awesome mate!❤❤❤

To think of all the things that needed to happen for Mike Meyers to win the role of shrek is to ponder the reality of fate, even as a non-fatalist

Are you going to make the evolution of the pink panther next??

The first Shrek film is my favorite. I find myself relating quite a bit to the ogre.

[@JaredGriffiths2000]

A truly legendary film character!

If only a certain youtube critic from the animation community understood Shrek's cultural impact on animated films moving forward.

Rosio's name is pronounced Row-see-oh as it is of italian origins. Also I wonder if Steig isn't prounounced like "steeg" (as in the swedish name Stig).

I did extensive research into how to pronounce Stieg, and took the pronunciation directly from an official documentary produced on him.
