Amazing analysis as always just wanted to point out the instrumental shrek tracks are also amazing, the song that plays when shrek and donkey are in the shed transforming is a sort of reprise of "eating alone" or whatever, that fucking GOLDEN song that plays when shrek is...eating, alone...and when shrek and donkey are talking under the stars, so the fact that they have continuity between the INSTRUMENTAL BACKGROUND MUSIC only adds to shrek 2's stardom

[@albertthepeacock8020]

This hits on a new level since there is another PiB movie and no word on the rumored Shrek 5 reboot but I think Forever After had a grand finale Shrek doesn't need to flanderize himself like Homer,Peter,Goku,and Rick Sanchez he left a positive impact on society and that's what really matters

I thought Puss was weakest part of 2, his character, his inclusion into the "crew" it's so half baked, if 2 had ANY flaw it was how they handled him.

I Just had a massive realization that the muffin man from shrek 2 is probably one of the most powerful/threatening forces in the far far away/the shrek universe. like, the man was able to create mongo, a colossul gingerbread man that a whole castle guard had trouble fighting, and then you realize he made him in the span of a few minutes (the ball already started before shrek and crew got to him). so, he could potentially create a whole army of them and that is hilarious, imagine the rumbling from Attack on Titan but with gingerbread men.

A small character detail that I also love is that Fiona isn't just some oblivious, innocent damsel in this whole situation with Prince Charming.

And what’s great is that through the whole movie Shrek and Fiona still loved each other. They just had trouble getting onto the same page because they were fighting different battles at the same time (Fiona dealing with abandonment issues from her parents leaving her in a tower, and Shrek’s self worth worsening again by being discriminated against constantly), the only thing stopping them from working out these issues together were the other characters keeping them apart. Once they were reunited in the end they were as strong as ever. It’s so easy for writers to just completely break down the relationship in the first movie so they can rebuild again it in the sequel. But it just cheapens the love when they do that. I’m so glad they didn’t go that far for this movie and it just about Shrek realizing he DOES deserve happiness.

Hell, Cartoon Palooza even went as far as to say that without Shrek 2, Shark Tale wouldn’t have been the way it is! Shrek 2 could’ve been a positive influence on Shark Tale to make it an amazing movie, but how Shark Tale turned out executed to be the disaster (no pun intended) it is will always be a mystery since it has all the potential to be as great as people make it out to be in retrospect, potential and nostalgia.

I don't think there's ever been a more influential movie in my life. Grew up with these movies... Loved them as a kid even if they were so deep we didn't fully understand them as kids... But as you grow up (I'm now a college student), they still hit. They're relatable. I am an autistic person and have struggled a lot with identity, these movies that were with me most of my life, have always been there to relate to and they've actually helped me through things. Through self-doubt, through being unable to accept myself for who I am, to struggling socially, or with relationships, or being alone... Or always feeling like I'm not good enough They're phenomenal, truly.

Didn't think I would ugly cry from the raw emotion and realism that they put into Shrek but just shows how compelling the story really is with great characters and message.

The fairy godmother scene is just... epic, the best one i have seen in any movie i watched so far. She's happy singing and trying to complete her plan, but during this time Shrek also tries to get into the castle while nobody suspects it, fights the guards and then during the culmination takes Fairy Godmother's "Happily Ever After", ironic that she wanted to take Shrek's but her own got taken.

One of my favorite moments in the "Holding Out for a Hero" moment is near the end and we get this epic as hell transition/character moment for Puss. When FGM sings the line: "He's gotta be larger than life" and we see Puss jump down ready to face the guards as the trumpet solo plays. Shrek, and Donkey, try to go back for him but Puss tells them to go on to repay his debt. But, we know this isn't about his debt, this is a man (cat?) willingly putting his life on the line so his friend can save his wife and you can hear it in his voice that he is willing to die for him. For an ogre, he only knew for a day or two, one he was hired to kill and has shown him nothing but mercy, humor, and determination for his loved ones, a trait that he himself has long forgotten until he met a monster that earned his happy ending. Shrek was the hero of the film, but Puss in Boots was Shrek's hero. p.s., I was literally holding back tears while writing this because of how goddamn moving Puss' heroics was mixed with epic music.
