That line at the end gets me every time. Fiona - “I don’t understand. I’m supposed to be beautiful?” Shrek - “But you are beautiful.” Teaching people beauty is in the eye of the beholder since 2001.

[@nickreacts6394]

Yeah, I really enjoy the fact that, despite the near-constant jokes, this film manages to deliver with a strong message/ heart as well. That’s the way to deliver a satisfying film!

[@xenxander]

Yes but ' body positivity' went too far these days. "oh you aren't sexually attracted to me? FAT SHAMING!" and.. you cannot control who/what you are attracted to, to a large degree. So this is not honestly the right message, in the 'woke' culture..

[@BlueAxeRacer]

Except it isn't, the film is about two people finding love despite their lack of inherent beauty and putting value on merit instead of superficial traits.

Some fun facts: It is directly poking fun at Disney, there was a huge feud between some of the artists at dreamwork and the higher ups; Lord Farquaad is supposed to sound like F***wad and is designed to look like Eisner, the like CEO of Disney at the time. No one wanted to work on this movie while it was being made; animators would get sent to work on it when they made mistakes working on other films lol (personally I think this is why they managed to get away with so much)

[@videohistory722]

Not just that. A lot of former Disney employees that got fired when they shut down the studio in Florida went to work for DreamWorks!

‘shrek is like bilbo baggins’ is a bold statement but makes more sense the more I think about it

He really hates fairy tale creatures.

[@endymionstcyr8224]

The founder of Dreamworks, Jeffrey Katzenberg, used to work for Disney, but he was denied a promotion, that he kinda deserved after basically saving Disney Animation Division by Michael Eisner, his long time friend and who brought him to Disney. So Katzenberg decided to leave Disney and founded his own studio. Shrek IS literally Katzenberg flipping the to Eisner and Disney. The Super Carlin Brothers did a super interesting video on it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2SoenetmcuXh8U

[@sissibug]

to beat a Katzenberg (in Disney) you need a Katzenberg (in DreamWorks) 😉

I didn’t know any of this, thanks for sharing! Good on Katzenberg to make his own way since he wasn’t appreciated at Disney

[@bemasaberwyn55]

The first movie to win the Best Animated Film award ever. Brought to you by DreamWorks starring Mike Myers as Shrek and Eddie Murphy as Donkey as they venture on a quest to rescue the Princess Fiona voiced by Cameron Diaz charged by Lord Farquaad voiced by John Lithgow

[@christineirving4491pluviophile]

'Holding out For a Hero', Puss in Boots and Prince Charming appear in Shrek 2

[@VerchielxKanda]

Someone probably already told you, but this movie is one big middle finger at Disney, from their former animators. Farquaad is Fuck Waad and resembles a ceo person in Disney. Also Duloc is Disneyland. "Don't make waves, stay in line, and we'll get along fine, Duloc is the perfect place." Donkey didn't tell Shrek the secret, because it's not his secret to tell. He kept his promise, like a true friend.

[@musiclover_kb4913]

The Disney CEO they were making fun of with Lord Farquaad was Michael Eisner

[@danielbutler8103]

4:02 The guard at the table Is voiced by "Jim Cummings" a amazing voice actor. Some other voices he's done are, Winnie the Pooh Tigger from Winnie the Pooh Ray from The Princess and the Frog Darkwing Duck Cat from CatDog Razoul from Aladdin Scar from Loin King (He did the song Be Prepared, Jeremy Irons did about half of it but couldn't do the rest so Jim did the other half of the song)

[@Wawagirl17]

I was laughing along every time you laughed. So great to see somebody enthusiastically experience this classic gem for the first time and have it hit all the right beats! Also "You're so wrapped up in LAYERS, Onion Boy!" should be quoted more often. ;)

[@lauraalbert96]

This was absolutely making fun of Disney specifically. Jeffrey Katzenberg left Disney and started Dreamworks and this was his big “screw Disney” to Disney.

[@nickreacts6394]

Well, it was very effective. They say success is the best revenge…

[@DAMIENDMILLS]

This movie established many kids at the time their standard of beauty. Even by having the villain be a walking oximoron, someone who is obsessed with perfection, meanwhile he's a dwarf.

[@camillaroberts6476]

It’s SO hard to choose a favorite scene or reference. I feel one of the things to say is that though I’ve watched it a dozen times over the last 20 years I still sometimes stumble on new references I hadn’t noticed before - like really sad one of mama bear, from the magical imprisonments from the beginning, appearing as a rug is lord farquat s bedroom when he’s watching fiona’s video - I just realized that super recently! On a happy note though, I’m so excited for u to watch the 2nd. For me it’s the best!!! Also I LOVE the soundtrack of all the series.

[@nickreacts6394]

The sequel is so so good (my favorite so far), and you’re right, the soundtrack is killer!

[@marielaoquendorodriguez670]

I dont know if you knew but All Star was put there until they did a song for the movie but the people loved it that much that they left it on the intro ❤️ I loved all the scene in the castle (rescuing Fiona) specially when Shrek crashes into the tower 😂

[@nickreacts6394]

So glad All Star stayed in the final cut, it fits the scene perfectly!

[@joce-in-stitches]

Shrek was originally going to be voiced by Chris Farley, but he unexpectedly passed away, and they recast Mike Myers. I really can't believe this movie would have been as good without Mike's take on the character.

[@Powerranger-le4up]

Mike was actually reluctant to voice Shrek because Farley was his friend.

[@megdelany5688]

Looking forward to Shrek 2, Shrek the Third & Shrek Forever After -Thanks!!!

[@nickreacts6394]

Having watched the first 3, I’d say it’s a great trilogy so far (hoping Forever After is good too 🤞)

[@spiderfingers86]

DreamWorks has wanted Chris Farley for the role of Shrek but he unfortunately died. So Mike Myers was cast instead

[@fynnthefox9078]

Actually, Chris Farley was set to play Shrek, most of his lines were recorded, but he passed away. Mike Myers was brought on board when they had to redo the film.

17:05 That was a happy accident because it wasn’t a sound effect. That was an actual burp from Cameron Diaz, who had been drinking a soda while recording. That prompted Eddie Murphy to ad lib the next line.

I don't think the scenes were supposed to be melodramatic to a parody, that was just the style back then.

[@nickreacts6394]

Ah, ok, I might have been reading too much into the directing style

[@camillaroberts6476]

hmmm I don't know.. It def was the style back then, but that for me reinforces the argument that they were making fun of it (considering SO much in this series is satire, film references, making fun of mainstream, etc).

Hi Thor ! Lord Farquad was voicd by John Lithgow. I don't know much of his filmography. In France, and by the time Shrek came out, he was essentially known for being the bad guy in Cliffhanger (a Stallone action movie, worth a reaction if you haven't seen it) and the main role from a goofy sitcom 3rd Rock From the Sun.

[@nickreacts6394]

Ah ok, I haven’t seen those but I knew his name was familiar and it makes sense that he’s a veteran actor he was so good in this

[@BlaiseRashelHarman10]

Fun fact: his name is Lord Farquad because when said in an English accent (where the feudal system was popular) it's Lord Fuckwad

The movie was great at changing the classic fairytale formula. Ogres are typically seen as big ugly beasts but here Shrek lives in a swamp with a house and only scared villagers as they entered his swamp and he loved his privacy. Fiona was whitely expecting a handsome price to slay the dragon and save her she was looking forward to it for her whole life thats why she poses. She does show her strength when she singlehandedly beats Robin Hood and the merry men in a fight. Fiona's curse was that she turned into an ogre at night but true loves kiss breaks it. Only her true loves kiss was with an ogre and so her ogre form became permanent. My favorite part was instead of slaying the dragon the befriended it

Jeffery Katzenburg is notoriously petty. So when when this entered development he insisted to the animators that they model Duloc after Disney parks. And it's no coincidence that Farquad bears more than a passing resemblance to Michael Eisner. This movie is subversive as hell and has garnered a significant fanbase over the last 20 years
