You did not just confuse Prince Charles with George Bush hahaha

[@BigGator5]

Even I knew that was Prince Charles. However I am also 1/4 Canadian, so I'm legally required to know the English Royal Family.

[@fizzycolalizzie]

@@BigGator5 i'm english and i barely know them lmao

[@lunacouer]

To be fair though, they do kinda look alike. 😂

[@batmanvsjoker7725]

The “I need a hero” scene is singlehandedly one of the most iconic scenes in animated cinema history. Change my mind.

[@BenjaminDenverstone]

Did no one notice the line from Puss in Boots saying, "I hate Mondays" is a reference to Garfield the cat? Garfield hates Mondays!

[@laurynhoy]

Considering he's like the hispanic version of Garfield.

[@G.S.Productions]

@@laurynhoy Well, except that Garfield in the actual cartoon doesn’t do “Zorro”-type fighting styles like Puss in Boots does.

[@ashleydavall]

Whoever decided to cast Jennifer Saunders as the Fairy Godmother is a genius!

[@KashiKay]

I agree

[@nathanielpreston5377]

It was Steven Spielberg, because years before then Jennifer Saunders auditioned for the role of Ursula in The Little Mermaid before Pat Carroll was cast and Spielberg somehow found her audition tape and he loved it so much that he recommended to the directors of Shrek 2 to cast Jennifer Saunders as the Fairy Godmother.

[@mercykok2635]

I love the line: you have the right to remain silent, you just lack the capacity.

[@16taysia]

Yeah, sadly I'm Donkey in that context...😂😂😂

[@QUARTERMASTEREMI6]

Okay, but can we talk about this cast?! Like the amount of talent in this film is astronomical!

[@klarathebat5619]

"that's how I sleep next to my wife" I... Didn't need that but ok

[@laurynhoy]

5:17 It wasn't Harold and Lillian, it was Fairy Godmother who did it because Harold made a promise to her that Fiona would marry her son Charming so she wouldn't take away Harold's happiness.

[@artloveranimation]

But also, when Harold didn't tell Lillian he was a frog, I bet he felt responsible for Fiona turning into a green ogre every night.

[@forrestdupre87]

Why didn’t they mention farquad ?

[@a.g.demada5263]

@@artloveranimation well I suppose the original plan was to cursed Fiona, next Charming go to saves her, they fall on love, they kissed each other and the curse is over

[@lunacouer]

4:32 Fun fact: Eddie Murphy was in a 1984 movie called Beverly Hills Cop, and this is an exact duplicate of the scene with him riding in a convertible his first time in Beverly Hills. 😂

[@serenitytoepper]

As anyone wondered if Puss would have drunk the Potion what would he have become? Has anyone else thought about that expect me?

[@MoviesinDepth]

Mother of god

[@nancyomalley6286]

I'd think he'd be Aslan the Lion!

[@serenitytoepper]

@@nancyomalley6286with his spirited behaviors. If puss had taken the potion instead of Donkey. You think he'd become a lion? Why do you think that? Curiously you have me intrigued but honestly I don't see how Puss and Aslan match?

[@serenitytoepper]

Same I don't see how they match either. Aslan seems to be wise and brave true, but Puss is a bit of a rebel and troublemaker and a hero at times too, so he's got a lot more personality than I've ever seen inside of Aslan. So, it makes you wonder what kind of heart stopper plus who knows what he'd become. And also, as anyone else wondered since Donkey did drink the potion. It said it affects one's true love, Fiona and Sherk were affected so what happened to Dragon I wonder.

[@sagesixparties7217]

If Shrek is Handsome in Human in human standards. Does that mean he's handsome in Ogre standards.

[@MoviesinDepth]

That is the ultimate question

[@iceshard2364]

That Antonio Banderas clip at the end hit different 😆

[@brunnusjustus5833]

There is something that always bugged me about this masterpiece of a movie, shrek drunk the potion and both he and fiona became handsome, right? So, if dunkey turned into a stallion, what happened to his wife, the dragon.

[@ajboyproductions4574]

Ooohhhh your right that’s a good question to think about

[@fanofallthings7099]

Apparently she turned into a a massive pink Pegasus!

[@lunacouer]

@@fanofallthings7099 That's also how the writers said they managed to have kids. They...um...got busy while he was a stallion and she was a pegasus 😂 Pretty impressive they found the time in all of this

[@Akins560]

Either a pegasus or a unicorn 🦄🌈

[@brunnusjustus5833]

@@lunacouer Yeah, the thing is... When shrek and fiona return from their honeymoon, donkey is awaiting for them at the swamp and mentions that the dragon has been sick and irritated, which hints that she was already pregnant before donkey and Shrek drink the potion. Not to mention, that Shrek and Fiona turned into humans because they were both ogres, they were of the same species. The same cannot be said for the dragon and donkey. They aren't even both mammals, dragon is a freaking giant lizard, so I find it very unplausible that she would turn into an equine being even if mythological. Furthermore, if their kids had been conceived when they were during the effect of the potion, why were they born half donkey, half dragon. By your logic, they should have just been born as either unicorns or Pegasus.

[@laurynhoy]

I know a film you should react to: Red Shoes and the Seven Dwarves. It's a combination of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, Tangled, Beauty and the Beast, Shrek, Snow White and Red Rose, and The Princess and the Frog. Also in this story, Snow White is heavyset and muscular. She finds a pair of red shoes that make her appear as she is on the inside: beautiful. Also in the film it's shown that she loves her real self more than her form while she wears the shoes. Also the main couple are a next generation version of Shrek and Fiona.

[@hollum1648]

Second this! I LOVE Red Shoes 💖

[@Anicole1422]

YES! I love that movie and the soundtrack too~ Just chefs kiss!

[@laurynhoy]

@@Anicole1422 And Snow White and Merlin are like the next generation of Shrek and Fiona.

[@hayleyshea3965]

Omg I loveee Red Shoes!!

[@emmahenderson6657]

I genuinely enjoy your reactions. Keep’em coming! And my favorite scene is Fairy Godmother’s I Need A Hero song. The music, the action, the dance everything is soo good!

[@Jintho]

There actually are Horse "squeegees", they are used to scrape of sweat from horses after heavy work. And one could assume that pulling a carriage with 2 ogers and a donkey is rather taxing on the horses. The water bottle the guy uses is what makes less sense for me.

[@lunacouer]

It's making fun of people that actually did this at intersections in huge cities. While you waited at a light, they'd run up to your car, spray your windshield, squeegee it off, and then ask you to pay them for it. 😂 Kind of a brilliant scam, but I don't think it happens much anymore.

[@boybye7986]

The fairy godmother makes it iconic and her cover of I need a hero is 😘👌

[@BH-2023]

Fun useless fact: The hilt on Puss's sword is a French grip

[@beckkarah9443]

#JusticeForReggie 🎺

[@spiderfingers86]

In this sequel Shrek and Fiona are on their honeymoon with the introduction of Fiona's parents voiced by Julie Andrews and John Cleese with Puss in Boots voiced by Antonio Banderas. The villain is Prince Charming is voiced by Rupert Grint

[@spoopyblogs]

Rupert Everett, I got so excited for Grint and then I got disappointed immediately

[@Sp1d3rpool91]

I like how this film references Tobey Muguire Spider-Man at the beginning of the film, when Fiona and Shrek kissed when Shrek was upside down.

[@sammylane21]

Children, what we see at 6:25, is what we call "micro transgressions" that are in fact obvious and not subtle at all.🤭

[@shawty7303]

Only thing I learned from this is that someone's got a kink shame. kyle and his whips, wheel of torture. Ohh myyyy

[@Drako2k0]

You can’t make me watch you watch a movie with antonio voice acting in it and not expect me to wanna watch mask of zorro. That’s just not acceptable!!!

[@astridvictoriafagerlund216]

In my opinion Fiona is almost more beautiful as an ogre. PS i love when he says "Well news flash, I AM AN OGRE!"

[@jareththegoblinking3191]

Thing is if Donkey transformed, that means Dragon had to have transformed as well And it was originally thought she was turned into a Pegasus, but they didn't write it in cuz it didnt add anything to the film

[@c.jinuzuka8438]

I heard someone mention that if donkey took the potion, what did dragon turn into? Cause she must've been very confused about this

[@a.g.demada5263]

Excellent question 🤔

I love this movie so much 💗😍🥰 Edit: Julie Andrews as queen Lillian is EVERYTHING LoL 🥰😍💗 BTW I actually still have Shrek Super Slam and my PS2, it's so great still LoL 🤣

[@nialvessal]

Dreamworks really outdoes itself with its sequels. Am I right, Kung Fu Panda 2? Am I right, How to train your dragon 2? Am I right, Shrek 2? Am I right, Boss Bab- Oh. Nevermind.

[@dmaster1000]

Well although Kung Fu Panda was dope in the second movie, it didn't really do anything that was even comparable to the first imo. The humor was more dim and the villain's motives could've been better written. They had great animation and transitions though, with a great message like all dreamworks movies.

[@nialvessal]

@@dmaster1000 sure, the villain's motives weren't as relatable, but I really liked the humor and the action in the second one

[@dmaster1000]

@@nialvessal Oh ok. Yeah the action scenes and transitions are always well done in Kung fun panda. The humor just felt dumbed down and I personally didn't think it was worthy of the "best sequel" title, but hey we all have our opinions.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Dude, the villain in KFP2 is miles above the one in the first film. It's not even close.

[@dmaster1000]

@@ultrairrelevantnobody1862 You have to be joking? The one in the second one was decent, but he was definitely nothing special. His motives sucked and felt boring, and his little cannon made no sense. Like it could easily be destroyed, it's not like he was manufacturing millions of the device. His actions and motives were all lame. The best part was his voice acting imo. In the first movie, they took their time. They hinted at his arrival while also providing a valid reason why he was upset, kind of like how Tigress was. It also played a part in how closed minded shifu had become which was excellent story telling. Overall, the second movie isn't even that memorable compared to the other two films.

[@mariahwatts3468]

You ever see hoodwinked? If you like movies that play on classic fairy tales, that's a good one

[@rebajoe]

So the blast turned Harold back into a frog, so im guessing it was meant to to turn Shrek and Fiona back into ogres. Why did it turn Fairy Godmother into bubbles, sparkles and tears?

[@byronmak7943]

The commentary is great, but the real cherry on top was the mention of Shrek 2, the PlayStation video game.

My fav version of I Need a Hero. One of the very few times where the cover is better than the original... imo lol

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Shrek 1 & 2 are phenomenal films. The first has the best comedy, and the second has the best story. Afterwards we got Shrek the Third which, while not necessarily bad, didn't live up to the same quality, and lastly Shrek Forever After which was a solid finale.

I think my favorite part about rewatching the Shrek movies is finally noticing all the references that zoomed over my head when I was a child. More reasons to enjoy it, I'd say. By the by, if you ever want to react to movies that aren't by Disney or Dreamworks, might I recommend "The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole" and "Wolfwalker"? The first one's a 3D-animated film released all the way back in 2010. It's still visually stunning despite its age. Wolfwalkers is a 2D film released just last 2020. Doesn't get nearly as much attention as I think it deserves. They're both great films and I think you'd enjoy watching either or both of them!

[@seigeengine]

Ah yes, the movie where we learn Fiona changing to be like Shrek is good and loving someone who they are, but Shrek changing to be like Fiona is bad and you shouldn't change who you are for someone else. This is a perfect sequel to the movie where we learned that only people who are alike can be in love, and if you're different, one of you will have to change.
