SHREK (2001) Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | Mike Myers | Eddie Murphy | Cameron Diaz

[@thechad4485]

One of my favorite “hidden in plain sight” jokes of this movie is that Farquad’s name is just Lord F*ckwad said with a heavy English accent.

[@AbhijeetSreenivasan]

i see it now

[@rromano158]

Yeah, that's something I can't unhear now.

[@johnnehrich9601]

Supposedly Dreamworks was pissed at Disney's Michael Eisner, so that is who is supposed to Farquad.

[@lisabeloved]

This is glorious information

[@TheShadow8771]

I'm 30 and I never realized this 😂

[@RossIsFine]

Shrek 2 is a Masterpiece of Comedy. I argue it's one of the greatest sequels in movie history

[@nathancruz9172]

Even Spider-Man 2.

[@jdnaz1288]

Yep, one of those sequels that matches, or surpasses, the original.

[@animatorFan74]

I would put it up there with Aliens and Terminator 2 as far as sequels go, myself.

[@SS4Luxray]

Not in any order, but the greatest sequels of all time: The Dark Knight, Shrek 2, Spider-Man 2, Empire Strikes Back, Toy Story 2, Aliens, T2, The Godfather Part II and I can kinda see Winter Soldier and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes both creeping into that list.

[@thechad4485]

I think it was such a surprise because, in my life, it was the first time I had ever experienced a sequel to animated film that was not only just as good, but even better than the original. Every other animated film that I had experienced up until that point was a straight-to-vhs/dvd sequel of lesser quality. I genuinely didn’t know that a great animated sequel was a thing that could happen. Shrek 2 was the movie that changed all of that. Now animated franchises are the norm.

[@coldflamebluedragon196]

Shrek & Donkey AKA one of the most iconic animated duos

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Agreed

[@BatmanFan76]

This movie pretty much changed the game for CGI animated movies. Not only they had jokes for kids but also for adults to enjoy too. It’s a great time overall.

[@SupportGamin2024]

Well said

[@satan_rex_inferorum]

That would be Toy Story

[@BatmanFan76]

@@satan_rex_inferorumNo, Toy Story was the first CGI animated movie. That changed the game for animated movies in general. This changed the game for just CGI animated movies. Also, Toy Story had all of characters have two eyes that blink separately and it still looks like it hasn’t finished rendering.

[@fettel1988]

AKA returned cartoons to the old days.

[@thechad4485]

It’s also m the movie that basically caused the death of 2D animated features.

[@MeatSim9]

Bit of trivia, the author was originally against a movie being made, as he was worried they wouldn't make Shrek as revolting as he wrote him, to make him more acceptable to movie audiences. He was delighted that they made him even grosser. XD

[@biggains1]

I heard the opposite, as apparently the books get REALLY gross and revolting. This movie is very tame by comparison.

[@jackcarter5101]

Also, the original Chris Farley version was a lot more gross than this

[@ChaosLORDish]

Y'all are going to LOVE Shrek 2. It's legitimately one of the greatest sequels ever made.

[@Amused_Comfort_Inc]

Shrek, How to train your dragon, Hunger games, Ice Age. The best sequels ever.

[@deadponic117]

i disagree with shrek 2 being good, it has the most messed up plot to come out of an animated film, and this is the same company that made flushed away & shark tale.

[@rickymoranjr9609]

Mike Myers was the perfect actor to voice Shrek, same for Eddie Murphy voicing Donkey

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

Shrek was originally gonna be Chris Farley too!

[@rickymoranjr9609]

@@thiagoteixeira6537 IKR! until he died

[@thechad4485]

@@thiagoteixeira6537 I honestly don’t think the movie would have been as successful as it was if Chris had lived to keep the role, as much as I love his comedy. I can’t say for sure, but Meyers did such an amazing job that it’s hard to imagine anybody else doing justice for the role.

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

@thechad4485 I agree, I think Mike Myers's performance and choice to play the character as scottish are what made the character what he is!

[@rickymoranjr9609]

@@thiagoteixeira6537 I'm not complaining, Mike Myers did a great job playing Shrek especially when Shrek gets angry at Donkey

[@donbergeson6771]

My favorite line is "Dead broad off the table!". Cracks me up every time.

[@Reyna_Amaturi]

Listen, this movie has a lot of messages, but the one that stood out to me is self-love: love yourself for who you are and find someone who loves you for you. And this franchise doesn't follow the storybook lore. Who'd expect a princess to be in love with an ogre? Shrek and Fiona are my favorite animated couple🌻

[@theawesomeman9821]

This movie popularized Smash Mouse's "All Star" song. This song was played on repeat on the radio for weeks after Shrek premiered.

[@davidstevenson1933]

It also revived "Hallelujah"

[@theawesomeman9821]

@@davidstevenson1933 True

[@benjaminwitham8142]

Shrek 1 and 2 are absolute classics definitely childhood favourites they are so good and agreed it's really great when films you grow up watching in childhood have that universal broad appeal so when you revist them as an adult you catch all the adult humor and context that you probably didn't pick up on when you were younger is always great to see great reaction can't wait for your Shrek 2 reaction

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

I love the bit where Shrek and Donkey are making fun of Lord Farquaad. Shrek: Let me put it to ya this way, Princess. Men of Farquaad's stature are in SHORT supply. Donkey chuckles- I don't know, Shrek. There ARE those who think LITTLE of him.

[@AFC9798]

I like the other one that most people don't pick up on. Shrek to Fiona: "I brought you a little something" then Farquard and his men arrive.

[@rainbowpegacornstudios]

@@AFC9798 Or this gem: "Forgive me, Lord Farquaad. I was expecting a short....(her eyes follow Farquaad's assisted dismount from the horse) farewell...."

[@rickymoranjr9609]

FunFact: Cameron Diaz actually burped in the making of the scene where Fiona burped. she was drinking soda at the time and the burp happened luckily the creators kept it in the movie

[@nathancruz9172]

Good to know.

[@EleventhCubFan]

This movie was a staple of my childhood. So glad you finally get to experience it!

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Yep and they'll also enjoy the sequels

[@ghostpants7930]

19:55 when I was a kid I would literally yell out "Matrix!" here, every. single. time. I think it annoyed my brother XD

[@thedarkknight2221]

9:37 as someone who grew up playing WWE Smackdown 2000, I remember calling out all of these moves Shrek did.

[@GameChronicles]

If you loved that Scottish accent you definitely need to see So I Married An Axe Murder. One of Mike's secret gems.

[@williamwoods5592]

The very first time that this movie was first released was on May 15, 2001. It was 23 years ago. And I was 24 years old at the time. And I really love watching this movie with you guys.

[@umalishonuy7977]

If you really liked this part, you should watch the next one. I think it's even better.

[@fettel1988]

Almost unanimously one of the best sequels of all time

[@thiagoteixeira6537]

You guys have to watch Shrek 2 next! If you loved this, you'll love the sequel even more, it's this movie just better in every way!!!

[@VictorGarcia-jt2gj]

You do know it isn’t their first time watching right? They do a horrible job “pretending “ they don’t know what they’re watching lol especially Andrew, he’s obnoxiously obvious 🙄

[@jamalbayliss8523]

😂😂😂I'm ready for the shrek journey with this duo

[@VykeKing]

This duo was boring tbh, no chemistry

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

same, I've seen heaps of reactions to it hahaa

[@hessu275]

Okay for a person who's childhood involved watching Shrek (and the second one) several times I'm confused that someone has never seen it... but it's never too late 😀

[@korydyer8200]

I cannot wait for y'all to watch Shrek 2!! One of the greatest sequels to any movie! Period!

[@badmoose01]

What I love about the storyline of this film is that at the beginning you’d expect Shrek to feel like his life is incomplete and to desire for more but in reality he’s perfectly content living his life as an ogre in his swamp. Basically if Shrek had an “l want” song he’d basically just want things to stay exactly the way they are. I think that’s a nice subversion from the norms of at least fairy tale type stories. The main driving force for Shrek to go along with the plot was simply to return things to the status quo.

[@Danj1095]

It wasn't supposed to be Mike Myers. The movie was nearly completed using Chris Farley as Shrek (you can even find records) but because he passed away the redid Shrek using Mike Myers.

[@eskreskao]

17:24 Huh, I never noticed before, but you can almost see Transformed Fiona in the back.

[@chrisfenn7245]

Not sure if they caught it since it wasn't in their reaction. They mentioned how dark some of the movie was and I was wondering if they noticed Faquads bear rug being the mama bear?

[@williamwoods5592]

This is such a good movie. The very first time that I saw this movie when it came out on VHS and Home Video. I really really loved it a lot. And it is such a funny movie and it was so fun to watch. To this day I still like it a lot. And it is still a lot of fun to watch and it is still a lot of fun to watch. This is still my favorite movie of all time.

[@KatBee00]

One of the few franchises where the sequel is even better. Iconic in fact

[@niklasjonsson9652]

Never mind that this is a great movie, the editing is awesome !!!

[@flacocarrera7037]

Love Steph and Andrew. Especially with this movie. Definitely brings positivity in my life. ❤❤

[@chandlermorgan708]

9/10 Groundbreaking. For younger viewers, they might not understand the impact of "Shrek" on the film industry and CGI movies. However, being an older guy, I remember how groundbreaking and amazing the computer animation was when the film debuted. It was head and shoulders better than the few CGI movies that had come out in the previous decade...and it finally gave Pixar a serious run for the money. In addition, the plot was very adult...and the film's appeal was much greater than a typical CGI story. Great animation, great story telling and great voice acting, while the movie isn't quite impressive to see today, it still holds up very well and is well worth your time.

[@LeoRichVids]

We need PART 2!!!

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece guys, I was waiting patiently for y'all to watch it

[@michaelconnor1542]

Eddie Murphy always finds a way to sing in all his movies.

[@thomaskaechelin]

Definitely one of the best animated movies. Absolutely love the first Shrek movie. I actually think the next one Shrek 2 is one of the rare sequels that's even better than the original. I'm excited for you guys to check out the sequel.

Anyone that's into rap listen to the song "Fiona"by TJ Major where he samples the song Fiona was singing.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Originally Shrek was going to have a Canadian accent and all the lines were already recorded. Myers thought he should be Scottish and recorded the lines again for free after the director agreed with the change.

I have been watching this channel for a long time now and also watch the reel rejects to. I just realized that Andrew is on both lol. It took me so long to realize this and now I am laughing at myself. Well at least I think he is on both. I am really confused right now. lol.

I was a junior in high school when this movie came out and I remember everyone going nuts over it. I never really had much interest, but after seeing your reaction, I think I should give these movies a go. By the way, Jaby, if you're reading this, what the hell happened to your Fall Guy reaction? I didn't get a chance to watch it.

[@michaelschroeck2254]

It took me the longest time to watch this movie. My last name is pronounced Shrek. When I would make dining reservations I would use that spelling so the host or hostess would yell my name properly. Then this movie came out and when I made a reservation they thought I was joking and hung up the phone. Also I am an animator and I applied for a job at dreamworks while this was in preproduction. They turned me down. So they used my name and rejected me and I had been developing a troll comic and the main character was named Shrock as a mis pronunciation of my name. So I HATED them for all this. But one day I watched it and really loved it as an alternative to Disney …… who also turned me down. I suck. 🤦🏻‍♂️
