"They'll write your name on the bathroom wall: 'For a happy ever after, give Fiona a call'" is still one of the wildest lyrics to ever be in a song in a kid's movie.

[@KrazzeeKane]

The Shrek movies were luckily still some of the last kid movies that properly understood the whole Don Bluth philosophy, I don't remember the exact quote but it's something to the effect of, "You can show kids very surprisingly violent or adult things in animation, just so long as the good guys *ALWAYS* win at the end." And it's very true. As long as a young child gets the happy ending and proper resolution, they don't mind and may even prefer a more interesting movie like that. Think of all the older cartoon movies we watched that had ridiculously adult things in them, like 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' lol. Roger Rabbit has scenes and situations which are far filthier than anything in this movie, and I wish more movies still understood this and knew it was ok to push boundaries with kids stuff. Kids and adults both enjoy it!

It's a well-made sequence. I use it as an example for screenwriting all the time, especially the Puss In Boots "sacrificial" moment. The audience doesn't know he'll come back later, so it's an effective scene if his story ends there.

[@billbill6094]

[@mojoshivers]

Puss in Boots is possibly the best supporting character in the franchise. He’s the missing part of the quartet that adds so much humor and swashbuckling to the series that he eventually got his own spin-off series. I love this film even more than the original.

I had seen this aswell! Apparently writer and director Andrew Adamson said during a test screening when asked that Dragon turned into a Pegasus. Originally, Dragon was going to have a much larger role, but they thought it was unnecessary for the film. She would have had much to say and it would have been difficult to hide her pregnancy and they wanted that to be a surprise in the film.

Shrek 2 is so great, I really love the way they deconstructed the Fairy Godmother trope and obviously Puss in Boots is the best.

[@Tulemasin]

Fairy Godmother is the best villain ever. If you connect the dots she had been working behind the curtains all the time. She granted Harold his wish to become human and turned him into a king, then she cursed his daughter so her son could save and marry her so she could be part of a royal family and rule the kingdom. It would've worked if Shrek didn't make it to the tower first.

[@irishpieceoftrash]

It's no exaggeration when they say that Shrek 2 is one of the best animated sequels, if not just one of the best film sequels, ever. And that 'Holding out for a Hero' sequence at the end is so damn good.

You can continue with Puss in Boots and Puss in Boots 2 if you want. But I will say while Shrek 3 and 4 aren’t as good as 1 and 2, I still say they’re worth checking out to have a more solid appreciation of the franchise. I also think Shrek 4 DOES have legit merit to it, but yeah you need to watch Shrek 3 to understand what happens in it. Shrek 3 is kinda the Final Destination 4 of the Shrek movies. Not that great, but not SO bad that I think a reaction wouldn’t be worth it.

22:02 - You didn't comment on this in the video, but the music playing during the scene where the other characters are rescuing them from the dungeon, is the theme music to the classic Mission Impossible TV show. I've never watched the Tom Cruise movies, so I don't know if it was used in them and you might have recognized it from there. And once again, I'll say that you need to watch the Halloween special, Scared Shrekless.

I thought of “So I Married an Axe Murder” (1993) when I heard the voice of Shrek. Mike Myers plays multiple members of a Scottish Family

Donkey is singing the Rawhide t.v. theme song, It was an early western series and starred Clint Eastwood in one of his earliest roles.

Definitely watch the two more Shrek movies too! The story keeps evolving and lately I've seen lot of people say that the fourth one is their favorite. The third one may be a little weaker comparing to these two, but the last one is very good. I think you would love it. And the Puss in Boots can be watched anytime, it doesn't spoil anything, it really is a standalone movie. At least the first one, I haven't seen the new one yet. Great reaction!

The catnip scene kills me every time.😂😂😂

[@Fantomex.]

Fun Fact: when dokeny as a horse throws Puss off of him, puss says "You stupid meat with hooves, how could you do this to me!" Why did you cut out the cat-nip scene? Its hilarious

[@seantlewis376]

Larry King as the Ugly Stepsister is pure gold. These movies so remind me of a British Panto. I love it!

Actually, Mike Myers didn't make the Fat Bastard voice on purpose, it was mere coincidence. He was just giving Shrek a scottish accent because his parents are scottish and his mom read fairy tales for him as a kid, in a scottish accent, so it's both because of that and that he thought that the scottish accent was suitable for a fairy tale movie.

11:07 holy foreshadowing, Batman!!!!

[@cooperstanley3438]

Can we all just agree that this movie has the best cover of I need a hero🤩

[@MagicMarmalade-kv5hr]

For more of Mike Myers' Scottish accent: So i married an axe murderer (smart Hitchcock comedy homage) and for another great Eddie Murphy movie (with Steve Martin): Bowfinger.

Even though Shrek 3 and 4 aren't as revered as the first two, I'd definitely say give them a watch. They both had a theatrical release and did relatively well, so they aren't as cash grabby as what you might stereotypically think of. There's still heartwarming moments and character growth moments. The humor is still pretty good too. I personally think the 4th is better than the 3rd and if I had to rank all of them I'd say Shrek 2,4, 1, 3. Honestly, the cash grabbiest aspect of the Shrek franchise was the holiday special and the Shrek the Musical. Those two are definitely a waste of time in my opinion. As far as the Puss in Boots movies are concerned they essentially bookend the Shrek franchise. The first Puss movie is his origin story so it could be considered a prequel to Shrek 1. The second Puss movie for sure happens after the Shrek movies and could be considered the finale of the series because it wraps up his character arc which didn't happen in the Shrek movies.

Absolute banger of a movie

Mike Myers didn't base Shrek on Fat Bastard from Austin Powers, Mike Myers lived in Glasgow in Scotland when he was on kids TV here in the 80s and can do a pretty good Glaswegian accent which he's used in "So I Married An Axe Murderer" (brilliant film btw) as well as the Austin Powers movies and most famously as Shrek - they're all Glaswegian accents.

Puss in boots is one of my favorite characters of all time.... and yes he's pretty a tiny zorro + adorable cat

The Sir Justin poster was just put in for Justin Timberlake and the directors didn't knew at the time that he and Cameron Diaz were dating during production, so it was a mere coincidence that it happened. Probably because of they found out about it that they asked Timberlake to voice Artie in Shrek the Third.
