You know what's really amazing about "Shrek"? The story basically has all the elements of "Dark Romance" of which there are five. (1) The male love interest is the "bad guy" - Shrek is an outcast, not accepted by society, scares off villagers etc. (2) The male protagonist follows his own moral code, which differs from the norm (and would even be considered as criminal or abnormal) and mostly does so in hiding - well, yes, that's what Shrek does in his swamp, from the perspective of the fictional society in the story. (3) The female protagonist is in a position without real power - Fiona is kept in a tower and needs to be rescued. (4) There is an element of taboo - according to Dulocs norms and moral code, a princess and an orge could never be together. (5) The conflict is resolved by one or both protagonists changing fundamentally, and the power imbalance from the beginning has vanished. It works so well because from Fionas perspective, only Shrek can truly understand her. From Shreks perspective: Only with Fiona he can truly be himself.

Something a lot of people don't know is Shrek was originally voiced by Chris Farley but he died close to completion. They had to shelve the movie and ended up completely scrapping the original movie. They put Shrek on the backburner and looked for somebody to replace Chris Farley. Mike Myers came about and they decided he was a good fit but they realized they had to completely reanimate the movie and they decided to completely rewrite the story as well. The Shrek we got has barely any resemblance to the original that was scrapped. Everything from the character design to the story was completely redone. They ended up putting their animators that worked on movies that flopped on Shrek since Dreamworks thought it would be a total flop and they called it getting Shreked. To their surprise Shrek was a huge hit and it became one of the most beloved animated movies of all time. Its ironic because Dreamworks judged their movie before it even had its moment. And Lord Farquaad was actually based on their former boss who fired them from Disney Duloc was meant to be Disney world.

Rest in peace Chris Farley 1964-1997 Kathleen freeman 1923-2001 William Steig 1907-2003 Roger Ebert 1942-2013 Richard Schickel 1933-2017 and Kelly Asbury 1960-2020, Chris Farley was initially hired to voice Shrek, and he had recorded nearly all of the dialogue for the character, but died before completing the project, according to David Spade on an episode of the podcast Bad Friends, Farley only had 5 days left of voice work and Farley’s brother John was asked if he would come in and finish his lines but John refused, a story reel featuring a sample of Farley’s recorded dialogue was leaked to the public in August 2015, DreamWorks then re cast the voice role to Mike Myers, who insisted on a complete script rewrite, to leave no traces of Farley’s version of Shrek, according to Myers, he wanted to voice the character for two reasons: I wanted the opportunity to work with Jeffrey Katzenberg and the book is a great story about accepting yourself for who you are

I saw the 'raw' story oard version with some of Farleys lines. And while he was a great actor, I can't imagine Shrek as anyone else besides Meyers. Maybe it's cu I saw hia version before Farleys. But Meyers seems to fit better IMO. But it would be neat to see an alternate reality Shrek where Farley didbt pass and his version was brought up instead. Would it be as popular? Maybe, but for different reasons. But I can't imagine it not being Meyers.

Shrek wasn’t originally supposed to be Scottish. Mike Myers (voice of Shrek) felt that ogres represented the working people, so Myers first did the recordings in a Canadian accent and giving his own background as a working person, but after considering that all the other fairy tale creatures are Eurocentric he decided to drop the Canadian accent and asked the recording to be redone with a Scottish accent.

I was absolutely shocked that this was a first time (full) watch for Mason and Oak, but absolutely delighted too, it's such a joy to get to experience these movies with you guys! And a movie like Shrek with its awesome messages and delivery, I knew Oak would dive deep into them, which is honestly one of my favorite parts of your reaction videos. I think you all truly embody that message about not judging before you get to know someone: you are funny, insightful, and courageously vunerable at times, and if people judge you based on your looks, they are the ones missing out. I first started watching your channel during your A:TLA reactions, and I was intrigued because it wasn't what I was expecting. I appreciated that Oak and Mason approached the show with open minds, not letting the fact that it was a "kid's show" stop you from giving it a chance. I think it is beautiful what you guys are doing, watching animated (as well as non-animated) movies and shows without judgement, and sharing your genuine enjoyment with these stories. Being strong does not always mean being stoic and hiding your emotions, you all show that in your genuine, honest, heartfelt reactions, and I so admire all of you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. Also, I immediately had to give this a thumbs up when Oak started sing along to Hallelujah. Such a beautiful song!! This movie was crafted to be the antithesis to Disney movies, with the obvious parody of fairy tales. The tone of the movie also served as a commentary on Disney movies at the time, with the for-adults-only jokes sprinkled without, being a contrast to the squeacky clean image of Disney. Of course, things have come full circle and now that kind of tone is kind of the norm.

Oak! Mason! First time? For shame! 😂 Glad you're getting caught up. I absolutely love the series, and hope y'all do too! So much to love 😂😅❤

The line "That'll do donkey. That'll do" after they cross the rope bridge, is from the film 'Babe", where the farmer says"That'll do pig. That'll do"

Mike Myers’s allegedly filmed the whole movie (or most of it) in a normal accent. He hated it and thought something was missing. And then later on asked if he could make shrek Scottish . So they have to re-do ALL his lines in the Scottish accent. And that’s why we have the shrek we have today. Due to Mike Myers’s genius.

Oak putting Shrek's ears on his 5 is so wholesome 😂

Answer looking disheartened during the entirety of Dragon being trapped in the castle scene made me realize I was making the same face lol

[@TOXSGhost]

The old saying will always go skrek is love shrek is life

[@vickylandry51]

A neat story related to Donkey: I went to Ringling for illustration from '03-'07, and at the time they were the top school in the country for computer animation. My roommate was a CA major, so I saw her homework assignments all the time. Back then, you had to create a skeleton by hand in Maya before attaching the animation points to the character model in order to animate it, and the process of creating that skeleton was tedious. The summer before I graduated, one of the rising CA seniors actually programmed a button for Maya that _automatically generated a skeleton._ Once the school year started up again and word got out that this dude was basically a programming sorcerer to do that, he was INUNDATED with job offers. Multiple big animation studios were fighting over him and trying to one-up each other. Then DreamWorks told him "If you come and work for us, you can HAVE Donkey in the next Shrek film!" (Meaning he could be the lead animator for the character.) He went with DreamWorks. lol

Shrek is like the Disney cinematic universe lol

[@IncoGnito-ji5du]

Notice how Shrek, a green ogre tries to cover himself with human clothes, and fionna, covers herself in a green dress🙃

[@kfordgal]

The oak singing hallelujah 😊 was not expecting that 😂.

[@SuperGrandmother3]

i love watching you guys get mushy when he told her he loved her. so sweet.

[@LittleDwarf5]

I must say, there's something... pretty touching about your guys' channel. I am especially heartwarmed by how The Oak is such a big, muscled guy, you could at first glance write him off sort of as a gym obsessed tough guy or something, and here you are, watching family movies and having thoughtful discussion about it. It's neat, and I guess corresponds nicely to this particular movie's message. All the best to you guys.

[@betterdeadthanred7410]

I do have a hard time imagining none of you have seen shrek, a cinematic masterpiece.

[@syre97]

I absolutely adore Shreks and I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched it. Great reaction. Also I randomly finding myself going “somebody call a doctor because badd medicine is BACK!” 😂

[@laughingoutloud5742]

Shrek set the bar when it came to sliding winks to the adult audiene. I made friends at the theatre from other parents literature laughing to tears!! We were resigned to another kid movie. Little did we know we would be So Entertained along with our toddlers!! 23 years later, my kids and I still use the lines from Shrek series and so many more to communicate! My grandkids were brought up on The Looney Tunes original series and Dreamworks & Pixar! Also LOTR, Star Tek and Star Wars

[@abigailsnail7]

So happy to see your channel growing!! It's what you deserve, you guys are all amazing. Fr my dads away from home when I'm on campus at school. Wish you all well always! Sending love from Chicago :)

[@abigailsnail7]

Also you guys should watch the whole series now! They're all pretty good I think, plus the Puss in Boots spinoffs as well
