Anyone want to see Shrek 2? ANIMATED Reactions: kzbin.info/aero/PLQHhQlj8i5drw7xdLD3YvywSxyIFTQbcT

[@tomhoffman4330]

Absolutely YES✌"Shrek 2" is even Better than this, and You'll "see" why!!🥺 I'd also Recommend "Over the Hedge"😉another Animated Comedy Adventure from Dreamworks!👍

[@Ian-xx1xb]

most definitely yes jen you loved this one and i think will love the next even more

[@jdeamaral]

Shrek 2 is special. I will not more.

[@eliminator173]

Yes please it's to Shrek what Godfather part 2 was to part 1. Lol at least I think so.

[@allenporter6586]

Of course Jen.

[@Daveyboy100880]

Yes Jen, the trick is to tame the dragon and then ride it… Donkey has that well in hand 😏 Re. the animation. Shrek came out about 6 years after Toy Story, which had been the first full-length CG animated feature, so it wasn’t exactly groundbreaking in that sense. It did kind of break Pixar’s monopoly on big box-office success for CG animated movies, though, and it did make some pretty big technical advances in realistic vegetation and terrain (all the grass blades, trees, leaves etc) and fluid animation. The close-up shot of the milk being poured was pretty advanced for its day, and so was all the fire that the dragon breathed. Shrek 2 is DEFINITELY worth your time!

[@henrymassey9904]

I LOVE that Jen is a Monkees fan! Almost no one, these days, have even heard of them.

[@toodlescae]

Agreed. I had a big crush on Davy Jones.

[@scottwilson3741]

I grew up watching their TV show on Nickelodeon and listening to my mom's tapes. Love them to this day

Growing up, I never particularly _listened_ to The Monkees but definitely knew they existed, and they were mainly a parody of The Beatles (which I never particularly listened to either).

One of the best animated films ever, it’s such a classic. Mike Myers was great as Shrek and Eddie Murphy as Donkey was perfect, he was definitely the standout and you gotta watch Shrek 2 it’s even better.

Huh, that would have been a different direction, for sure. I still think it would have worked out; I can see Farley also pulling this off (in a different way, of course).

[@Matticitt]

I think he recorded most of the dialogue even

[@hawkeyegeorge]

You can search Chris Farley Shrek and find some audio with production stills.

[@geofftottenperthcoys9944]

Good, could not stand Farley, over acting turd.

[@lordflashheart3680]

A friend of mine used to use Shrek as a litmus test for his dates. If you liked Shek you were probably Ok.

[@stevenhenry9605]

Oddly, seeing Shrek in theater was the last date I went on with my high school girlfriend before she broke up with me.

[@StarkRG]

Some people like Shrek a little too much, though. I guess the litmus test metaphor still applies. One end of the scale is too acidic and the other is too basic.

[@MrPozaidon]

I am so sad you seemed to miss the mother bear. When we first see the Goldielocks bears, the whole family is there, when we next see them, the bear pup is crying and being soothed by his father, and when we see Lord Fuckwad(which is what they wanted to call him but couldn't due to it requiring a different rating) in his bedroom, there's a bear skin on the floor with a nice little pink bow on its head :D

[@angelabowman1614]

I Never realized that! Oh my gosh! And I've watched this movie countless times! 😮......I probably noticed the Rug, just not its importance. 😢

[@Gnomojo]

This reaction rekindled my flame for Shrek. I’ll be honest. Shrek came out when I was 21. So. I was kinda in between those kid jokes and the truly ironic adult jokes. Thanks for reminding me how good this movie was. Both Mike Myers and Eddie Murphy absolutely killed these roles.

[@allanleslieanderson1858]

Many people nowadays think the animation looks dated. But they do not realize the look of the movie matches many of the classic 1950 & 1960's illustrated children's books that had that exact look. What they see as "dated" is actually artistic style.

[@kronostvx]

Ive heard the exact opposite most reviews ive seen think the animation holds up well.

[@Swonder1972]

Many people are idiots. Animation has never been about realism or modernity but impressionistic art in motion...

[@tonk3878]

It does look a little dated, the models have an odd smooth look to them in comparison to modern animation, it’s still a good movie though.

[@XenoTheProducer]

I don't think anyone would deny how much of an absolute blast this movie is. The voice cast are all excellent, the animation (At least at the time was gorgeous) and I love the original score. Such a classic! 🔥 Apparently Mike Myers orginally didnt do a Scottish accent for Shrek, but last minute he asked Spielberg (who was producing) if he could redo the whole film in a Scottish accent...Great choice if thats true. 👌

[@aaronmurphy9353]

He actually went through several, including French.

[@Stuck-n-da-90s]

My favorite line. Have you ever met a person, you say, "Let's get some parfait," they say, "Hell no, I don't like no parfait."? Parfaits are delicious!

[@soldierking14]

Reign of Fire is a good dragon movie, has a good cast in it too.

[@davidjrandall1979]

Shrek 2 - yes please

[@md_vandenberg]

How groundbreaking was the tech in Shrek: Toy Story was the first feature length CGI film and was released in 1995. Shrek released 6 years later. These movies are a world apart as far as detail, textures and lighting are concerned. Dreamworks gave Disney/Pixar something to be scared of. Fun fact, per Cameron Diaz's request in her contract, video of her in the studio is not allowed to be released to the public. This is a shame because the tiny bit of footage shown in a behind the scenes feature is one of the cutest things I've ever seen.

[@kevinlewallen4778]

This film is clever, funny, and sweet, just like my favorite reactress, Jen Murray!

[@lethaldose2000]

Hey Jen, this movie literally saved the Dreamworks studio. They were making over budget flop after flop and then they hit on "Shrek" and realized animated movies are gold. ------ All thanks to the power of "Shrek"

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Shrek is one of the most well known franchises in Dreamworks aye

[@JaymzShikari]

Just to add more to this story, Shrek was literally a punishment for DreamWorks writers and animators who were working on too many underperforming movies. It was referred internally to as being "Shrekd" and was basically a cover for them being fired when the movie bombed. Because it was a punishment project the execs basically didn't have any oversight of it, and shockingly, letting animators and writers make the movie produced a far better result than accountants and lawyers did

[@lethaldose2000]

@@JaymzShikari that's some amazing insight into the back story. Plus Mike Myers is fanatical about his creative control on a project. Which makes him torture to work with but amazing for the final product.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

Ya know, Neil Diamond wrote, I’m a believer.

[@jodytierney9474]

"Bolt", from 2008, is another animated film I think you'd enjoy. The main character is a dog.

[@RobertJW]

18:17 these jokes are left over from an early version of the script where Shrek and Donkey had a private meeting with Farquaad; in the final film they don't actually have an opportunity to see how short he is.

[@Sherman1fan]

Still in the first 5 minutes, love your laugh! 19:48 mama bear (rug)..

[@CarolinaCharles777]

I agree, Miss Jen. The original Monkees (weitten by Neil Diamond) version of "I'm a believer" is awesome.

[@ugib8377]

You should definitely watch #2. They did a pretty good job at keeping the same feel.

[@davidareeves]

I will never forget seeing this when it came out. My boss at work was cranky that all his daughter wanted was for him to take her to see Shrek. He though it was inappropriate for her age. Eventually after me nagging him forever, I was like, dude, you'll love it as much as she will. He took her twice, once for her birthday and then went back by himself three times. Brendan the big softie :P

[@ronfehr7899]

One of the directors, Andrew Adamson, also directed the first of the Chronicles of Narnia movies, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

[@rallysquirrel_88]

Shrek was originally going to be played by Chris Farley. He'd recorded most of it before he died. Also, the plot was going to be about how Shrek didn't want to join the family business of terrifying people.

[@e.d.2096]

That'll do Jen...That'll do. No it Won't! Jen, please at least continue with #2 Your outro, I can definitely see your excitement! 😊 Great reaction as always! Thanks again...Eric

[@trinaq]

I love that you're finally reviewing Shrek, Jen. I hope that you eventually review the sequels as well.

[@jwhaler82]

20:10 I still remember… when I first saw this part, my brother and I decided the thought that Shrek would shoot the bird dead, to Fiona’s horror, and shout, ‘Breakfast!’ 😆😆😆

[@oobrocks]

Dear Jen; I recommend dragonheart 1996 with Sean Connery’s voice. I’m you’ll love it ❤. Ps: I’m a believer originally by the Monkeys

[@TheNighthawke502]

I truly appreciate dragons too, so if you want to watch a really good "Dragon" movie then I would highly suggest "Dragonheart", which is an emotional period drama with multiple funny bits as well! "Damsel" is another dragon movie which I recently saw on NF and was pleasantly surprised by, which bears an interesting twist to the "Dragon and Damsel" trope that I thought was rather overdue in the genre! Yet another far less known one is the foreign film titled "I Am Dragon", which like "Damsel" provides still another fairy-tale like version of the "Dragon and Damsel/Princess" plot that I found just as powerful too. The DVD copy I have is originally in the Russian language, but it has English dubbing/subtitles so that I could enjoy it! In that same category, the "How to Train Your Dragon" animated films are also incredible too (if you haven't watched them; I can't remember if you have or not on your channel), of course!

[@joe66692]

You are so adorable. After a long hard day at work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I so look forward to seeing what you are reacting to. And of course Star Trek on the weekends. Keep being you and laugh a lot.

[@CmotDribbler]

Dragon movies to add to your list; Dragonheart Neverending story Dungeons and dragons honour among thieves Mulan (with Eddie Murphy as the dragon) All the “how to train your dragon” movies.

[@sammylane21]

I find it interesting how people use the Shrek 4D poster art but watch it. Technically it counts in the franchise timeline as SHREL 1 1/2.

[@lethaldose2000]

Donkey is definitely the MVP of this movie. Eddie Murphy is a master of improv, constantly coming up with lines to allow the other cast to bounce off. Mike Myers is great, but Ediie Murphy is that next level of comedian. ------- On top of that they are both SNL alums.

[@TheDaringPastry1313]

Shrek's lines were originally recorded in Mike Myers Canadian voice, but it seemed off. After discussing it with the director and giving him examples, they redid the entire movie in a Scottish accent. Myers did it for free because it would make the character and movie so much better. You missed it, but mama bear went missing and you see her later dead as a rug when Lord F is looking at his princess over and over while in his bed.

[@AneudiD78]

I remember seeing this in a packed movie theater filled with nothing but adults at 10pm, we all laughed and loved the movie.

[@Kenny-ep2nf]

such a great movie aye

The Shrek theme is just pure nostalgia for me, i dont get how people my age dont really know it or think much of it lol

I was in school for 3D animation and Visual Effects the year after this came out. I strongly remember the movie poster for this being on the wall across from my desk so I saw it every time I looked up, every day for a year. Haha.

[@XRos28]

Donkey is the most beloved character in this movie. I agree with others about this one. As for movies, I would recommend "Mosster's inc.", THEN "Moster's University".

Hi Jen... there are a lot of adult jokes in this film... that make it fun for both ages...

[@edfrancis66]

I felt the whole traditional Disney-driven fairy tale animation scene was jaded by the 90s, then this came out and breathed new life into the genre! ❤ Hilarious all the way through, heartwarming and with messages about love, friendship and self-acceptance that flowed from the narrative (without beating us over the head). I'd imaging a traditional Disney princess would have kept the 3 eggs and raised the chicks, but Fiona was far more practical 😂

[@Stratelier]

If you think about it, Dragon is another example of the movie's theme about things being more than what they appear on the surface. In guarding that castle, Dragon probably never met anyone who didn't immediately try to slay her, so Donkey probably was the first to (flattery or otherwise) actually _be_ nice to her.

[@asterix7842]

Another great reaction, Jen! You gonna do the sequels now? You should also watch DragonHeart (1996), with Dennis Quaid and Sean Connery.

[@StephenRansom47]

13:27 Regarding Dragon Movies: The film from 1981 - DRAGONSLAYER has a young Peter MacNicol (Ally McBeal & Ghostbusters 2) as the unlikely hero. Also one of the first films to use computer controlled cameras for the effects. A classic tale of magic & heroes. 😊 and a big part of my 12 year old heart.

[@DC_Prox]

Yes, it was groundbreaking at the time and still holds up today, but the same can be said for Toy Story, which was 6 years prior. The main "groundbreaking" part of Shrek was it showed that someone other than Pixar could do it right.

[@rromano158]
