thanks for sharing :)

Fun fact. Dragon's name is Elizabeth and she became a unicorn when they took the potion. Puss is a Zorro reference. They had a COPS reference and an OJ Simpson reference too. Mongo was a reference to Blazing Saddles, Ghost Busters, and Frankenstein. Far Far Away is a play on Hollywood.

[@LordVolkov]

"Hey it's a little cat!" I think that to myself everytime the smaller of my cats surprises me. Antonio Banderas voicing Puss N Boots is a meta-gag because of his casting as Zorro in Mask of Zorro.

[@sneezyg1]

It blows my mind that this movie is 20 years old now

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

FR, it still feels new

[@josmonlee13]

They think Puss can kill Shrek because in the original fairytale Puss in Boots is from he does kill an Ogre

[@dandyfluff]

I love Donkey’s spin on “Rawhide” at the beginning: Knock ‘em out, Pound ‘em dead, Make 'em tea, Buy 'em drinks, Meet their mommas, Milk 'em hard, Rawhide!

[@lindseywise8384]

I’m glad he was able to at least get some of the other movie Easter eggs, this movie is gold when it comes to its film references!

[@Overlord0011]

In case you forgot, you might remember Cameron Diaz as Tina from your "The Mask" reaction.

[@offtheflume]

“a typical thanksgiving” 😭😭

[@aredub1847]

naw no politics.

[@sbond7510]

Donkey’s “Im coming home Elizabeth” is from an old show called Sanford and Son starring Red Foxx. He would always clutch his chest and fake a heart attack to get out of whatever foolishness he was up to. Elizabeth was his dead wife.

Please react to Mike Myers (Shrek voice) in *Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me* (1999) 🔥 *The Mask of Zorro* (1998) *Antonio Banderas* (Puss in Boots voice) Directed by *Martin Campbell* Music by *James Horner* *Austin Powers in Goldmember* (2002) _(My favorite!)_

[@NoudlePipW]

Todd's owner is one one of the sweetest lovely ladies❤

[@SmithDoe]

12:51 Yes. Cameron Diaz (Who makes Fiona's Voice) was in a relationship with Justin Timberlake at the time.

[@CarAmeL624]

I do like Shrek 2 just a little more than the 1st one. The 1st is a classic and a great message about Fiona learning to love who she is so she could accept Shrek's love. But I think the 2nd film made me laugh more and allowed Shrek to accept himself and their relationship. He lets go of her so easily because he does believe her life is worse off with him in it when it's exactly the opposite. Such a powerful thing that she had the choice this time to be a human but still chose to be an ogre with him 🙏😁❤️ Shes better than me, I would have chosen human me and human Shrek in a heartbeat 🤣🤣🤣😍

[@buckbeak72]

For me all 4 of them are really fun movies... Love SHREK 💚

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

SHREK IS LOVE

[@rkg1887]

ITS A THONG!

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

PINK ONE TOO!!!

[@Robbo-mx8nn]

You know how I know you are a farmer from Iowa? You’ve never heard the name Diaz before. 😂 love the reaction! Keep em coming!

[@ninjabluefyre3815]

I can't stop looking at Fiona, she's so pretty.

[@crystaldreams3978]

Lmao human or ogre??

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

both forms??

[@robquin1525]

The plot that the book was based on was influenced by the book "Guess who's coming to dinner tonight"

[@xenxander]

22:46 but it shows hook as having his right hand gone.. and hook's left hand was cut off...

[@nobleconsejera5278]

I actually like the first one more. That one’s my favorite. The fourth one is my second favorite 😊

[@RedPandaGirl002]

The *K.N.I.G.H.T.S.* scene is an epic masterpiece! 😎😆👌

[@shallowgal462]

Are you ready to react to _Shrek the Third?_ Mongo is based on both _Ghostbusters_ and _Blazing Saddles._ With just a touch of _E.T._ You didn't recognize Julie Andrews (Mary Poppins, The Sound of Music) or John Cleese (Monty Python's Flying Circus, The Life of Bryan, A Fish Called Wanda)?

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Shrek 4 as well

[@skysamfreeman]

I also agree that the first one is better.

[@sebastianandres8781]

Please react to Mike Myers (Shrek voice) in *Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me* (1999) 🔥 *The Mask of Zorro* (1998) *Antonio Banderas* Directed by *Martin Campbell* Music by *James Horner*

[@kracker469]

Another great one James, I love all 4 of these Shrek movies.

[@deenormus1975]

Did they tell u the “white bronco” chase was supposed to be like OJ Simpson’s escape in the white Ford Bronco?!🤭

[@Unicorngal-th1ks]

Here’s your recommendation. I don’t know if you saw it yet but night of the museum and the sequel. They’re pretty good.

[@juliacalhoun9491]

I grew up with this movie, at the age of 12 I used to have solo dance parties to the soundtrack on cassette (we had to change it from CD to cassette because I only had a cassette player), and I genuinely had never gotten the joke about Donkey singing the wrong lyrics to Rawhide until seeing this reaction. So thank you for that! XD

[@robquin1525]

I remember seeing this on the big screen when I was six pal. When the big bad wolf showed up I spat out the fruit punch.

[@burkeiowa]

Terminator 2 was one of the rare other instances of a sequel surpassing the original in terms of how good it was. But in that case, one HAD to watch the first one in order to make the second as good, because of the preconception it twists.

[@dyldog]

Why watch a sequel if you never watched the first tho? Unless it’s a soft or hard reboot there’s no point of the second without the first

[@peperino25]

Please react to Mike Myers (Shrek voice) in *Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me* (1999) 🔥 *The Mask of Zorro* (1998) *Antonio Banderas* (Puss in Boots voice)

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

W reaction to this masterpiece my dude, is this your first time watching Shrek movies? Btw who's your favorite character?

[@vincegamer]

This movie makes a LOT of movie references that you missed because you haven't seen the movies

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

This comedy roast from Puss In Boots to Donkey.... 😂🤣 Donkey drinks the Happily Ever After potion- 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-

[@williamcarbajal383]

22:30 ... You missed one of the best jokes ever 😂 "Why the long face?"

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

LOL

[@christinahilt2978]

I hope you got the chance to check out the special feature for this movie “Far, Far, Away Idol.” It was a lot of fun.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

I think he did

[@ZonataBrown]

14:06

[@shallowgal462]

_Aliens_ was better than _Alien, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan_ was better than _Star Trek: The Motion Picture,_ _Terminator 2: Judgment Day_ was better than _The Terminator,_ _Superman II_ was better than _Superman: The Movie,_ and most people think that _The Empire Strikes Back_ was better than _Star Wars (A New Hope)._

[@abc123tiktok]

That was my issue with the second movie. The pop culture references felt significantly more forced in there as jokes rather than having organic feeling vs the first movie. The movie felt more setting up the jokes you could see coming which made it less entertaining for me personally.

[@contacluj758]

He send Puss In Boots to kill Shrek because in the original fairy tale Puss In Boots defeated an ogre.

[@szyszunia3463]

please check out movies with Antonio Banderas: - Desperado (1995) - The Mask of Zorro (1998) - The 13th Warrior (1999)

[@roygarcia4200]

Hey James I also recommend Superman Returns (2006), Man Of Steel (2013), Down With Love (2003), Rat Race, Bubble Boy, Big Fat Liar, Bicentennial Man, Man On The Moon, Click (2006), Grease, M3GAN

[@christopherb501]

Fairy Godmother: SUCH a boymom.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

she's funny

[@stephaniecabrera-o8l]

SHERK 3

[@LunaticKD1991]

20 years later and this is still one of the best movies ever made. 🙂

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Never get enough of it aye

[@MosesKabeya-c6g]

Can you watch Shrek 3: The Third.

[@AwesomeUSMovies]

Added to my list, thanks for the suggestion.

[@bryancurtis220]

Rip her wings off? LMAO

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Hahahaha I'd LMAO if they did that, she'd probably burst out in anger

[@learobinson4450]

Always look forward to another reaction by James, especially on Monday since it makes the start of the work week enjoyable.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Yep

[@moseskabeya]

Can you watch Shrek The Third.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

He will

[@xenxander]

antonia banderez.. ZORRO for god sake!

[@CathleenMJennings80]

For me, hands down, Toy Story 2 is better than TS 1. You already know the characters and it get's right into the story... there's comedy, there's adventure, there's emotions, there's classic new characters!!!

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Agreed, have you seen Toy Story 4?

[@CathleenMJennings80]

@@Kenny-ep2nf yes- i hated it lol I really wish they ended TS at the 3rd one. It was perfection.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

@@CathleenMJennings80 do you believe TS4 could have still been pulled off if things went differently?

[@JR05-1]

Cameron Diaz aka Fiona played Jim Carry's love interest in The Mask. Your video on it came out on September 9th, 2022.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

yeah I remember her there

[@seadevildancer]

Shrek 2 is my favourite animated movie. It is so well made and the humour is perfect for a childish adult like me. Great pick!

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

That and Toy Story 2

[@karenlackner192]

I never laughed so hard in a theater as I did with Shrek 2. Kid & adult humor mixed in. It’s fabulous!!!

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Yeah heaps of funny moments

[@raidersfanallday]

Definitely better than the first

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

best sequel ever

[@Ashwgun]

sequels better than original, Addams Family Values, The Empire Strikes Back, Terminator 2

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

especially 2nd ones

[@jdde756]

The mermaid part It wasn’t a joke to me

[@stephensanders2104]

i love this movie

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Same

[@sarahsperr3341]

Please do Fried Green Tomatoes. Great Summer movie

[@truthseeker12523]

Omg finally!!!!❤

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

FR

[@Shritistrang]

"Why did he think he could defeat an ogre?" Well, in the original fairy tale of Puss in Boots, he DID in fact defeat an ogre. Although he used trickery and cleverness instead of brute force and battle skills to achieve that.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

damn

[@jarsenaultj]

A theory I heard about sequels is that sequels with "2" in the title tend to be worse while sequels with new titles (ex Empire Strikes Back) tend to be good. There are exceptions (Shrek 2 being one of them) but it is a decent pattern.

[@SirGriefALot]

2 and 4 are pretty good. And Puss and Boots 2 if you want to count that in the Shrek family.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Yeah 4 is awesome

[@msj2677]

All the Shrek movies are fun to watch and it’s just a matter of opinion which one you like best.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

you're gonna like this then because a 5th movie is on the way, it's never ogre

[@aleatharhea]

I like the first Shrek better. But I do love Puss in Boots.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

they're both soo good

[@allknowingoracle3277]

Shrek 3 is awful. The fourth however was decent conclusion.

[@DanielSSilva-616-]

To better understand the character of Puss in Boots you should watch the movie The Mask of Zorro.
