"Send you to work on the Prince of Egypt" took me a second, but that's such a good inside joke! For those who don't know: DreamWorks didn't have high hopes for the first Shrek movie, so they treated its development like purgatory and sent animators who screwed up in some way on the Prince team over to work on Shrek to get rid of them.

[@LeoChaseTheMythMaster]

​@@fantasyhaven3900They made it but it was about Joseph instead of Moses. Making the remanider of Moses story would be problematic for a kids movie. Because the second half would include mass ge*code of Cannan.

[@greyscaleanon7551]

...Um...the fairy tale creatures at Shrek's swamp were the ones that were already turned in to Farquaad's men. I think they actually made his swamp the internment camp because they failed to kick him out and Farquaad decided he didn't want the swamp that much, anyways. It wasn't scenic enough for his "perfect kingdom" plan. Point is, the creatures at Shrek's swamp weren't the ones that the Gingerbread Man was being interrogated about. Baby Bear is even crying about the loss of Mama Bear who is currently a rug in Farquaad's bedroom.

It is interesting that despite Farquaad's shortcomings and personality, he is the ruler of a perfect and prosperous kingdom. Man could've settled for ANY princess and he and his whole kingdom would be perfectly fine.

[@yourlocalhuman3107]

he is the ruler of a proseperous kingdom yes but, he kicked out all of the fantasy creatures so no his kingdom wouldnt be perfectly fine as a large chunk would be suffering

[@rac1equalsbestgame853]

Megamind: Tighten's Perspective

[@Sabrétooth_1688]

Lord Faquaad is an absolute monarch from the 14-1700s who has to live with fairy tale rules in modern times😂

[@draconis17]

Wasn't the joke that the "kingdom" Farquaad ruled was actually just an amusement park, and that's why he wasn't a real king?

[@blazingswayze5518]

I think he was just so corny a person that's what he thought a perfect kingdom looked like

[@ctdaniels7049]

That's definitely one interpretation, but considering the keep, the knights, the dungeon, and the entourage, I'd say he's more like a duke kinda deal. The amusement park was just a Disney parody, which builds on the themes of fairytale creatures (and thus, Dreamworks itself) being protagonists against a pristine but bland hegemony. At least, in my opinion. :P

[@kronusexodues7283]

I never saw it that Farquaard would be a king under real life circumstances and only isn't because of some weird fairy tale reasons. my interpretation was simply that he just isn't a king, period. just a lord with his county or however you call that in English. obviously marrying a royal princess and becoming part of the royal family wouldn't make him a king either in real life.

[@Nomsynho]

Fun fact of the day DID YOU KNOW: That in England a city is only given city status by the reigning monarch?

[@mariatorres-by6du]

Another fun fact, even though I always thought that was Farquad's plan, it's likely it wouldn't work. Usually if a man marries a princess and she is set to inherite a kingdom that man would not necessarly get the title of king, sometimes that title even goes to woman. The most he could be is king consort, which means husband to the queen. In the real world getting the title of king if you were not born into it is quite hard. (Although in the sequels it is confirmed that Fiona's husband would become king of Far far away, so all this is meaningless).

[@raistlarn]

​@@mariatorres-by6du agreed. A good example is the late queen of England and her late husband. Then again that was the English royal families custom, and may not be the same for all royal families.

[@thecynicinthedark4339]

The Emperor from Star Wars the Original Trilogy could be pretty funny. 🤣

[@Nomsynho]

I am working on this, but this is a video I want to wait until I have my new microphone for, because I think it'll be a banger

[@GravinHeart]

I mean. The fairy tale creatures were in the swamp because he already captured them and moved them there, I think?

[@Nomsynho]

Honestly even after just watching this, I'm second guessing myself, I'm literally REWATCHING rightnow because like why the hell was he interrogating the gingerbread man then, why would he interrogate him with the words "where are the rest of them?" like it's like they all escaped. I know the fairytale creatures went to the swamp because of Lord Farquaad, but they only said "he forced them out and gave them an eviction notice" not that he put them there, then the interrogation of the gingerbread man is because he lost track of them and didn't know where they went, because when Shrek said "they're all in my swamp" he's like "AHHHHH THAT'S WHERE THEY WENT"

[@greyscaleanon7551]

@@Nomsynho I assumed by "the rest of them" he means the ones that didn't get turned over for the bounty by the human residents of Dulac. He's also notably patronizing towards Shrek about who owns the swamp.

[@amelioravictoriadionyssia3323]

I just want to mention that the Dragon is the Blonde princess in the book at the starting. The reason why the Dronkeys were even possible is because both Dragon and Donkey started out as humans. Fairy Godmother's magic is canonically the reason for all magic in the shrek universe. Fairy magic, opposed to sorcery, is only capable of producing illusions; so the forms that Donkey and Dragon have are also illusions. This means that the reason theyre able to mate is because theyre both human at base - the fairy magic is just making them appear to be a Dragon and Donkey, so their children are actually humans, who have fairy magic projecting their body from the image of their parents. Also, fairy godmother erased herself from existence, but only partially, because fairy magic cant actually change reality. She turned into bubbles, and then air - she still exists, which is why her magic still exists - she just made the illusion of her form into No Form. All the magical woodland creatures were being captured and moved away from Far Far Away because Harold and FG had an affair, creating Charming - which i think FG was trying to use to usurp the kingdom. The reason it didnt work was because exposing Charming as their kid may have removed them from the will altogether, so she tried to have him erased. I hope this helps explain why the lore of shrek is so strange
