Shall we watch Shrek the Third?? Animated Reactions: kzbin.info/aero/PLQHhQlj8i5drw7xdLD3YvywSxyIFTQbcT

[@Ian-xx1xb]

After how much you loved this one it's a gigantic YES definitely watch the 3rd one 🔥

[@mr.a8315]

Yes, yes, yes.

[@marcwright8395]

Yes, And the first Puss in Boots is awesome!!!!

[@marvinsarracino116]

Yes to Shrek 3!

[@e.d.2096]

As thorough as you are Jen, of course YES!😊

[@lurkerrekrul]

26:47 - "We got a white Bronco heading east into the forest. Requesting backup." It's also a reference to the O.J. Simpson police chase.

[@kevinL5425]

Puss In Boots being “Just like Zorro” was no coincidence. The same actor played both. I also loved the Alien, reference when Puss In Boots bursts through Shrek’s shirt. So many great Easter eggs in this movie.

[@Stratelier]

Fun fact: the original Zorro story (1919) and film (1920) are now public domain (though the _name_ "Zorro" remains trademarked in the US because intellectual property rights are ... complicated). Nonetheless, Zorro was an inspiration for other popular characters like Superman and Batman. The Scarlet Pimpernel (possibly the original masked superhero) is also public domain.

[@rjcurrie61]

The Scarlet Pimpernel was 1905. So it may have helped inspire Zorro.

[@richardw64]

You missed the throw back to Beverley Hills Cop when they entered Far Far Away when Eddie Murphy drove into LA looking at the palm trees.

[@GenXJen78]

It's funny how the castle guards were prepared to deal with a giant, rampaging gingerbread man. They always knew this day was coming!😂 RIP Mongo, a giant cookie that came to life like Frankenstein and screamed like Godzilla.😂 Also, I absolutely love Puss! My favorite animated character of all time!😻

[@LordVolkov]

"More heat less foam!!!" 🤣🤣🤣 Honestly, scalding hot milk would be a great deterrent against most besieging armies

[@robertmcghintheorca49]

The worst part is they used the 1998 Godzilla scream! They really had to acknowledge that piece of scrap, didn't they?

[@vermithax]

Jen knows her stuff so I really shouldn't be surprised by now, but I always get a warm glow when she gets references like the one to Shirley Bassey. Despite her young youngness, there isn't much she needs explained to her, unlike a lot of reactors.

[@Dillpicks95]

The “I Need a Hero” sequence is without a doubt one of the best scenes in animation history.

[@joelwillems4081]

Jennifer Saunders crushed it in that key. I hope Bonnie Tyler liked it.

[@christianwise637]

One of the best scenes in animated history? Try one of the best scenes in all of film history.

[@TheMarcHicks]

@@christianwise637 I cannot disagree with that statement 😊

[@NZBigfoot]

That being said... as an 80's child, the only 'true' "I need a Hero" sequence is Jhonny Fives in Short Circuit 2... Still waiting on that reaction some day.

[@londonjetsfan]

​@@joelwillems4081 I’m not sure about Bonnie Tyler, but the band were definitely risking the wrath of the Fairy Godmother, as despite asking for it in the key of C minor, the tune is being played here in the key of G minor.

[@trinaq]

Whenever I hear "Holding out for a Hero", I'm always reminded of Jennifer Saunders crooning it, while a giant gingerbread man stalks about.

[@joeblankenship377]

I always think about a punked up Johnny 5.

[@hinesmaster99]

I used to be a hero till all my family passed away!

[@harveylee51]

Bob Barker treatment joke: Bob Barker from "The Price is Right" always reminded people to "help control the pet population ... have your pets spayed or neutered."

[@trinaq]

A rare case of the sequel being even better than the original. The jokes always make me laugh, no matter how many times I've seen it.

[@md_vandenberg]

One day we're going to hear of Jen being arrested at a high class club, singing on a piano... after pulling a heist to rival the Great Canadian Maple Syrup Heist!

[@mohammedashian8094]

It’s crazy the amount of jokes that you don’t get as a kid that make you laugh your head off when you’re an adult.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Yeah heaps of them in this movie

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

Yeah, and still people, many reactors included, insist on calling these movies (and other similar animated movies) kids movies 🤨Kinda annoying, to be honest. You almost never see any kids do reaction videos to movies by DreamWorks or Pixar for example, and the adults who react to them love them, but still can't let go of the notion that they are watching a kids movie. They see a dark or mature scene, and go "but isn't this a kids movie?". No... no, it isn't, actually. I once read a comment about Shrek that complained about a "kids movie" having such bad language. Movies like this are often filled to the brim with references and jokes that will go right over the heads of most kids. One of my favorite movie franchises, regardless of genre, animated or not, is the How To Train Your Dragon trilogy, and I haven't been a kid for a looong time 😆So, I prefer the term animated action comedy, or something along those lines.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

@@Pascal-the-Rascal yeah a lot of these movies are actually not exclusive for kids

[@Pascal-the-Rascal]

@@Kenny-ep2nf Often reactors, who have seen the movies as kids, and are rewatching them as adults, say that they get them a lot better as adults, and sometimes they say that some scenes even scared them when they were kids. Still, they feel the need to use the words "kids" and "movie" in the same sentence. Pixar and DreamWorks, and even Disney, back when they were good, and before they ruined Star Wars, and started to make all those pointless remakes, put a lot of effort and money into their movies, and use a cast that makers of actual kids movies probably can only dream of affording. I mean, Jack Black in Kung Fu Panda, and the Super Mario Movie. And speaking of the Super Mario Movie, it feels like it's aimed at people who grew up playing the old school Mario games, and are now adults. Nostalgia. The same goes for Wreck-It-Ralph for example, which references a lot of old games, that I doubt a lot of the kids of today have ever played.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

@@Pascal-the-Rascal yeah olde day Pixar and Dreamworks movies were soo much better, idk why those franchises went downhill.

[@mimic1984]

Jennifer Saunders (Fairy Godmother) KILLED IT singing "I Need A Hero"! I remember this movie was how I was first introduced to the song and I absolutely loved it! 💜 💚

[@TheYakusoku]

I feel like an old fogey, but I definitely remember the Bonnie Tyler version first, including the ridiculous music video (her "Total Eclipse of the Heart"/"Turn Around" music video is even more unhinged) with the mysterious man in white saving her. But, this cover is definitely a great tribute and one of the best parts of this movie.

I saw this in the cinemas and it was visually grand, especially the giant gingerbread man in the finale. The "Knights" sequence had me laughing loudest, I love the use of ground pepper and catnip.

[@sakuram69]

One of the VERY few exceptions where the sequel is just as good if not better than the original. Definitely a classic

[@TheHighSorcerer]

Somehow they managed to pull it off with Puss In Boots: The Last Wish, too. Definitely a better film than the first movie.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

yeah it's one of the very few sequels that are better than the original

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Best sequel anybody could ever ask for, it even exceeded the success of the 1st movie with how good it is

Another fantastic reaction Jen. It’s always nice to catch a premiere when I can and you will always be a princess to us Jen 👸.

Thanks for being there D! ☺️👍

Wow, Jen, you look so darned cute with your cartoon buddies in the thumb! And you're doing that Murray Manuever I like!

Shrek 2 is probably one of my most favorite movies. A lot of people don't like Shrek 3 but I actually liked it and I think its worth a watch.

To this day I'm still curious what happened to Dragon during the happily ever after effects lol

Along with Gremlins (my absolute favorite movie of all time) this is one of the movies from my childhood that I've seen the most in my life. As well as the first SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, the live-action Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed Gremlins 2, Jim Carrey's Grinch, and Over the Hedge. 💚

Looking extra cute today Jen! Shrek 2 is a great sequel that surpasses the first for me. For more of Antonio Banderas as a dashing swashbuckler - Mask of Zorro and Legend of Zorro 😉

36:00 - CORRECT! YOU CAN'T HAVE A NUMBER TWO WITHOUT A NUMBER ONE - However, you can have a number one without a number two. Wise words my mother taught me.

[@teambanzai9491]

Puss In Boots was an instant hit as a character and really deserved a spinoff. The Zorro reference was quite deliberate. Antonio Banderas played him in The Mask of Zorro (1998).

[@lordflashheart3680]

My daughter still says this is the best movie ever made (she’s in her 20s now). 😀

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

[@Llanchlo]

No 1 was groundbreaking - but this was better in so many ways.

[@Stratelier]

2:20 - So, "Parcheesi" (derived from "Pachisi") is a board game where multiple players race their tokens one lap around a prescribed track on the gameboard to win. Various modern board games like "Sorry!" or "Trouble" (aka. Frustration or Kimble) are further derived from it. It can be broadly considered a "cross and circle" type game, named for having a single loop circling the board, with (typically four) additional paths connecting the outer loop to a single point in the center. 27:40 - it's (intentionally?) ambiguous whether or not the King gave Fiona the love potion, but IIRC, upon close inspection he put the potion into the cup on his right (left of scene), which means it was the cup on the right when he put it on the balcony window -- which was the same cup he grabbed claiming "that one's mine".

[@TomCat777]

I remember shortly before asking my wife to marry me she did the same thing with writing her first name, middle name and my last name. LOL

[@KnucklestheEcidna]

Rupert Everett also plays in the movie St Trinians. an absolute gem of a movie.

[@DoerOfThings8]

"Wreck It Ralph" has similar themes to "Shrek" and is tons of fun.

[@christianwise637]

One of those rare sequels that's much much better than the already excellent original. The comedy in this film is outstanding, it's like wall-to-wall gags from start to finish, you'll definitely need to watch it again to catch all of them. Plus, it's got some great character development and drama, introduces some great new characters, has an amazing villain, and features one of the best third act finales in all of cinematic history. Honestly, what's not to love? I'd definitely recommend checking out the rest of the films, admittedly neither Shrek 3 or 4 come close to matching the first two films, but they definitely have their moments. The Puss in Boots films are also definitely worth watching, especially the second one which is a modern animated masterpiece and very much on par with Shrek 2 quality-wise

[@andrewdeharo7844]

I actually really love shrek 2 so much because I feel interested into thw franchise from Dreamworks and it made me feel like seeing other Dreamworks movies like Kung-Fu Panda again it was fun. Overall Shrek 2 and the first one are really great to me as I watched it before growing up.

This was the funniest of the Shrek movies, from here on the franchise takes a significant dip. Thank you for your reaction!

Whoa. I just noticed in this reaction that when they cut to the celebration the announcer says “the abs are fab”, which has to be a reference to Jennifer Saunders’s series “Absolutely Fabulous”, often referred to as “AbFab”, which I love. I’ve seen this movie so many times but never caught that!

[@tacticaldesigns8794]

I'm a bit surprised you didn't pick up on the seemless flow of the song "Holding Out for a Hero" and the Shrek theme. It's one of my most favorite elements to this, and why Harry Gregson Williams is my second favorite composer. Hans Zimmer is my favorite for obvious reason, but Harry Gregson Williams did work with Hans Zimmer a number of times. But the switch back and forth done so elegantly.
