[@235T1NGR4Y23]

Was about to comment this. I remember feeling a rush of adrenaline during this scene in the theater as a kid. I just thought of it for some reason and came to check it out. As the video started I thought I would be looking back nostalgically on how hyped I was during this scene, but instead I just got even more hyped watching it now. The way the music rises as they cut between Shrek storming the castle and Fiona starting to dance with Prince Charming - it makes both scenes feel even more tense. Really a fantastic moment from this movie.

The Fairy Godmother is easily one of the best, if not the best villain in all of childrens animation. Shes one of the few villains that actually has explained morals behind her explained motives.

[@bizzaroblake2519]

I also found Ursula interesting because normally a villian hides their agenda or more dangerous ideas and reveal it after the hero made the wrong choice. But Ursula threw it all down not hiding anything. Even demonstrating what happens when others failed the task and what would happen if Ariel failed. Even said Ariel could leave if she changed her mind but tried to test the limits and it worked.

[@alexbolt5]

@@bizzaroblake2519 I mean their both similar in a way. Fairy Godmother and Ursula are both con artist. They both hold a lot of power due to their magic and there’s always a catch that benefits them with every deal.

[@TheGreekPianist]

I absolutely love the film’s message: You love who you love, regardless of superficiality/materialism/appearances. The Fairy Godmother was a vain, superficial sociopath, and what she’s doing here is ironic to the message she was giving Shrek - she was forcing together two people that “didn’t belong together”. Just as she said Shrek didn’t belong with Fiona. Shrek had more love in his heart than her and her “charming” son put together.

[@JamaicaZ160R1793010A]

That's irony.

[@viortero9593]

[@MrGksarathy]

It was also an anti-capitalist indictment of the hegemonic fairy tail romance and the role of the Fairy God Mother in upholding it. Not to mention, I'm pretty sure she was also a statement on how celebrity culture forces people to fit into easily marketable boxes? IDK, I'm just spitballing.

I cried at this movie, mostly because people don't realize men too have body issues. It really resonated at the time because I got out of a nasty break-up when this movie came out. It really felt good, like Shrek finally was accepting of his own self because Fiona loved him.

[@katiet.7516]

i never thought of it like this but that is really true and a good message. thanks for sharing

[@nightlingsalad]

I like it because this whole movie is like the reflection of that scene in part one where Fiona becomes an ogre permanently after her first kiss with Shrek and she says, "But I'm supposed to be beautiful..." And Shrek says, "But you ARE beautiful."

[@samalvey8168]

They are surprisingly well prepared for an attack by a giant baked good.

[@desmondng5375]

I like to imagine the muffin man assaults the castle every few months and is considered a massive threat to internal stability.

[@saml.8708]

Literally nothing about this could be improved, nothing. The writing, the pacing, the emotionally taut situation, and of course one of the greatest covers ever written. When Shrek and donkey leap over the guards and the music soars, it’s almost too good to be true. It’s flawlessly realized, a total work of art. The only sad part is the realization that we’re never going to get another scene like this in animation ever again, it’s gone, never to return

This is a great scene and hard to beat. But I would check out Love Power from the recent movie Disenchanted, which was in 2D animation and the song was sung by Idina Menzel who did a great job.

[@bw.1]

Jennifer Saunders, mostly well known for playing Edina (Eddy) in the TV show AND movie “Absolutely Fabulous”…and now she’s mostly well known for playing the fairy godmother aswell (but she’ll always be Edina to the world)…she really does fit the characters she plays but I also feel she can be sometimes underrated or maybe that’s just me…in my opinion she needs her name on the walk of fame, her talent is truly incredible…she acts she doesn’t sing so when everyone heard this version of “hero” everyone worshipped her talent for singing as well as acting…also I think it was the first full completed song she ever made so that makes it extra mind blowing 💯❤️

[@bilal6094]

I still wonder how they made the humans look like actual humans and not typical animated characters and why we don't see that in any other movies

[@alexbolt5]

Any animator can make regular looking humans. Just is it can possibly take longer to animate very real human features. That and the big heads and eyes of todays animated characters sell more with children and what animated movies also try to sell is toys.

[@dragonsheen3049]

it's hard to make realistic characters look good. if the proportions aren't just right, it will look uncanny and creepy. it can also be somewhat limiting from an animation perspective, as the animators won't be able to manipulate the models as dramatically as they could if they looked more cartoony. I think it's also important to consider the fact that when the first Shrek came out, it was one of the first 3D animated movies ever made (released in 2001. Toy Story was the first 3D animated feature film, and was released in 1995). The medium was still very young and artists were still learning what worked. Also, cartoon characters are easier to market for toy sales.

[@saph100]

To add to that Shrek was actually being made IN 1995 and took much development because they wanted Shrek's body shape to fit an actor like Mike Myers, especially after Chris Farley had passed away. You can find the early designs of Shrek online with some models from 1998 that were closer to the Shrek we know today.

[@sissysovereign1294]

I think it definitely helped that they used their actual voice actors as reference

I am so thankful that I was old enough to register this movie in my long-term memory. 🙌 I barely have any memories from the first one from when I was a child.

Jennifer Saunders is a multi talented genius I admire her for how she lives her life.

[@Sweetness14]

This song is a banger....years after the movie first released. I love it! Jennifer Saunders is a great singer. 😊❤

[@Matt561]

This is still one of the best climaxes in a movie ever

[@vujiciclinus3551]

This movie still lives upto it's greatness today

[@King_kami36]

There isn’t a single part of this that isn’t cool. The dance inside vs the invasion. Mungos sacrifice and Pusses redemption. *chefs kiss*

[@milksauce7373]

I still watch this everyday and I always shed tears

[@crunchymilkentmt6351]

Shrek was so ahead of its time

[@AdmlJoey1701]

This was masterfully done. Perhaps some of Mike Myers best work. This scene pulls together so many classics at once, from 80s music with Bonnie Tyler's iconic song, to tips of the hat to comedic master Mel Brooks and Monty Python, and even going full on geek with the Godzilla tribute. Just amazing to watch as a child, and even more so as an adult when you can piece everything together.

The second Fairy Godmother said, “HIT IT!” you know that was the moment she knew she was about to drop the hottest track in this entire movie

[@nekogod]

This film is a goddamn timeless masterpiece!

[@gustavoporrata4051]

I just can’t get enough of 2:45 when Fairy Godmother starts singing again. WOW WOW WOW, my favorite part of the song by far!

[@kosmosvanhartland747]

I did forget how much fun this scene is to watch!

[@sdscd2]

Fairy Godmother, she is an amazing singer. Love this song. But, Mongo, he's the best part of this.

[@chilathecreativefox9098]

He's dead now.

[@sdscd2]

I know, but, he did all he could. He was the real hero.

[@chilathecreativefox9098]

@@sdscd2 And Shrek never thanked him for it. What a shame.

[@sdscd2]

I know, right? And Gingy, the poor guy, he had Mongo as a brother, and lost him.

[@chilathecreativefox9098]

@@sdscd2 I guess. But no matter, nobody cares about Mongo anymore; they moved on. 🤷‍♀️

[@jenniferhalliwell416]

Fairy Godmother is one of the best movie villains of all time.

[@OkayBoomers]

Agreed

[@michaelhayes8519]

"He's gotta be sure, and it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life" Shrek was far more than just some ogre in a swamp, he's the reluctant hero everyone saw as a monster. Sorta like how the studio itself didn't believe in the project, and the burnt out employees created a masterpiece out of spite. They were all put on the project as punishment, hoping they would just quit and leave the industry.

[@austintoney471]

Your sacrifice will never be forgotten, big Gingie. Rest easy 🙏🏻

[@muhammadmuhaso]

His name is mongo I think

[@mooseboose656]

Can't believe no one talks about mongo sacrifice.

[@captaindangler1675]

Jennifer Saunders proving, once again, just how fantastic she is.

[@leticiadejesus6126]

3:40 Mongo Saying Be Good

[@markpatton370]

1:30 Alright big fella, let’s crash this party!

[@samgreenhalgh42]

Written by one of the best, Jim Steinman Rest in Peace, man!

[@miraveta]

This may just be the greatest movie scene ever and it shouldn't be but it might just be. GO MONGO GO!!!
