Fairy Godmother was definitely evil, but the fact that she stress-eats fried food & sweets was hilariously realistic.

[@ianburns1167]

It's not well known, since Puss In Boots is a trickster, but in the original fairy tale he does indeed kill an ogre. Not by fighting though - the Ogre is a shapeshifter, and Puss does the whole 'bet you can't turn into a mouse' routine.

[@KaizerHiwatari]

Yes, there's actually quite a few hints in the film that Harold used to be a frog and later became human. His wife talks about them taking "long walks by the lily pond," and their bedroom is decorated with lots of lily pad imagery (and his wife is named Lillian... not subtle when I think about it). In addition to this, the frog at the bar asks Harold , "Do I know you from somewhere?" She may be an ex-girlfriend from his time as a frog XD

What I love about this sequel, is that the jokes are even funnier, mixed with a really serious plot with high stakes compared to the 1st movie, great characters, from the heroes to the Fairy Godmother to the King (when we find out that he's always been a frog, his character makes so much sense!), gorgeous and touching love story, great soundtrack and awesome pop songs, we can feel sadness and anger in this 'parody' movie! :) It on a complete other level, this is perfect ^^

[@tvmania2]

Its never confirmed in the movie series, but its heavily speculated that the fairy god mother was the witch who cast the spell on Fiona to make her an ogre in the first place.

[@nickreacts6394]

Love that theory! Makes total sense

[@user-oo7dw4qw4b]

I think with all the hints scattered in the movie, I think that the King asked for Fairy Godmother to give him a spell that'll turn him human. And in exchange she cast a spell on Fiona so that she can have Prince Charming be the condition to break the spell and make him king of Far Far Away.

[@tamarasmith9060]

Yeah, Fiona's dad was the Frog Prince (a prince from a neighboring land, but one that wasn't 1st in line to inherit the throne) & in return for making sure he found his princess & got his "happily ever after" by having his frog curse broken, then Godmother made him promise the hand of his future daughter in marriage to her son (who I guess was a toddler or preschooler then since he only seems a little older than Fiona) so that her son would one day be king. It's confirmed in Shrek 3 that Far Far Away is originally the kingdom of Fiona's maternal granddad, so Harold didn't really care about whether he had a biological son or daughter. He himself would be gaining the throne by marriage so it was fine with him if his successor got it the same way. He just wanted to be human again & have a family of his own. So then I wonder who cursed Harold into being a frog & put him all the way in the gardens of another kingdom where the king didn't have a son but only a daughter or daughters? Maybe Godmother has been around long enough that she finally decided that wasn't enough & she wants to set up a retirement plan for becoming a queen mother. Then she doesn't have the responsibility of a queen, but gets all the glory & lifestyle of a queen.

[@chrissibersky4617]

It would go against the message of the movie. To accept your body and what you are. That personality is more important than how you look. Beauty comes from the inside etc.

[@becca1189]

@@chrissibersky4617 Fairy Godmother is definitely toxic. All of her plans were undone because true love subverted her expectations. Harold learned the hard way & sacrificed his human form because he realized it wasn't the reason for his 'happily ever after'.

[@yannick9208]

The fairy godmother casted a spell at Shrek that terminates every single bit of magic, to undo the human transformation. King Harold acted as a shield and got hit, the spell rebounded, struck the fairy godmother and killed her, because it destroys every bit of magic that it touches, and she is a magical being after all.

[@nickreacts6394]

Thank you for explaining this thoroughly, I actually didn't realize what exactly she was casting but that makes perfect sense (and is a very fitting way for her to end honestly). Man, this movie really got all the details right!

References you might have missed: -all the elements in the Fairy godmother's song reference classic Disney Princesses, from the talking furniture (beauty and the beast) to the tailor-mice (cinderella), the song itself is just mocking disney musical acts. Ariel is also referenced in the beach picnic scene, the sleeping beauty falls out of her carriage at the red carpet... Basically it's never a flattering portrayal (Katzenberg takes every chance he got to shit on Disney) -When Puss rips shrek's shirt apart from the inside making it seem like he's emerging from shrek's belly, that's an alien reference - Donkey says "my donkey-senses are tingling all over" (about the potion) which is a reference to spiderman's "spider-sense" -the lady commenting the red carpet is an actual comedian who used to comment fashion events, young Joan Rivers -the big gingerbread man is obviously a Godzilla reference, and that same scene you can see people exiting a Starbucks screaming just to run to another Starbucks across the street 💀 -Puss draws a P on a tree with his sword as he introduces himself, which is a Zorro reference (who usually leaves Zs). Antonio Banderas, who voices Puss, also played, among others, Zorro.

So Shrek 2 was a gamble for the studio. With as beloved as the first one was noone was sure if Shrek 2 could live up to the hype. Many consider this film to be a perfect sequel. Jennifer Saunders is incredible as The Fairy Godmother. Antonio Bendaris is hysterical as Puss. And that Holding Out For A Hero scene is one of the best rescue scenes in the history of cinema

[@ronweber1402]

Shrek II is my favourite of the whole series. I like them all but II just hits all the right notes. The king being a frog is a take on The Frog Prince a classic fairytale where a prince had been turned into a frog by an evil sorceress and could only be turned back by the kiss of his true love or princess I can't remember. Anyway it alludes to fact that the Fairy Godmother had something to do with it whether it was just hooking him up with the happily ever after potion or something else darker like cursing him in the first place so he would owe her and could leverage that against him once she had "cured" him.

[@nickreacts6394]

Same, as great as the others are (very pleasantly surprised by #4), I like this one the most. And I hadn't thought of the idea that the Fairy Godmother might have set the King up all along by cursing him as a frog, although I definitely wouldn't put that type of plan past her. She has enough evil an manipulation in her DNA to come up with that.

[@hika_ariel]

The way the king's recognised by that hooker frog at the criminal's tavern cracks me up

[@mach2223]

@@nickreacts6394 It's literally what she did to Fiona so she could hook her up with her son lol.

[@sawanna508]

Actually the classic written fairtale (not in later popculture)is called "The Frog King" and the frog is NOT turned back into a prince by a kiss but by a more violent way: The frog dived up a golden ball from the princess and demands more and more favoures from her in return. She even allowed him to get into bed with her but when he demands a kiss she throws him against a wall and THAT turns him back, which is a very important detail for me because it is about setting bountaries, that's why I always get annoyed that people think the frog is saved by a kiss. There are even version of the story were he is beheaded.. The only fairtale charakter I know that is saved by a kiss is Sleeping Beauty even Snow White is not saved by a kiss either (again I'm talking about the original written fairtales).

[@serinas4465]

I saw this movie in the cinema at the premiere and they had these "lifesize" cardboard standups of Shrek, donkey and puss in boots. Before the movie even started I was like "I want that puss in boots standup!" So I made a deal with the cashier, bought a ton of popcorn, shared it with random people, and got the cardboard for it after the two weeks they wanted it for advertisement. It fell apart when I last moved but it was part of my Home decoration for 15 years. Absolutely loved those first two Shrek movies.

[@nickreacts6394]

Hey, that was a great way to bargain for Puss. Glad you got him for 15 years, talk about a hilarious and amazing character 👌

[@CarolinePhoenixMe]

Actually, during the movie development it was planned that the Dragoness would appear as a pegasus after Donkey drank the Happily Ever After potion, but then this idea was abandoned because the creators could not think of a harmonious scene for her to appear

[@nickreacts6394]

Hmm now that's an intriguing concept.... although I personally love Dragoness just how she is, it could be funny/ interesting to she her transformed into a more "appropriate" creature for Donkey

Did you notice the carriage Shrek and Fiona rode to the city is an onion? A reference to the pumpkin carriage in Cinderella with the "ogres are like onions" twist.

[@fizzycolalizzie]

in the earlyish scene in the king & queen’s bedroom, there’s a few hints that they’re actually the frog prince and the princess from that fairy tale. they have a lily pond mural on their wall, there’s a lot of green in their room, lillian talks about how they would walk down by the lily pond when they were young and they had their first kiss there :)

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

The frog-king is a reference to the fairy tale, "The Frog Prince." That's why the queen didn't freak out when he was turned back into a frog. Turning back was Fairy Godmother's threat to him. He never took the potion, but he didn't want the whole kingdom of Far Far Away to know about his froggy heratige because the kingdom would turn on him, and quite possibly turn on Queen Lillian, too. There is also a rumor circulating about Fairy Godmother being the one who cursed Fiona in the first place, and she's been playing 4-D chess with the kingdom and the royal family, just to make her son a legitimate ruler and gain royal status, herself. So, in a way, she's playing 4-D chess with Charming, too.

[@rakuengrowlithe4654]

I remember when you described what you knew about the original Shrek and pretty much all of it was actually Shrek 2. This is one of those rare times when the sequel is actually better than the original. And the original was good.

Hey there, I just wanted to point you out about the Happily Ever After potion affect on Dragon (Donkey’s wife) that she was supposed to be turned into a Pegasus that would explain why Pinocchio, The Three Blind Mice, Three Little Pigs, The Big Bad Wolf, and Gingy got to Far Far Away in literal one hour.

Shrek 2 is honestly one of my favorite animated movies EVER!! Also the fairy godmother is so iconic!

[@kittiesice]

So, I have a Theory: Fairy godmother put the spell on Fiona to force the king to look for a cure. I think she felt like she didn't get her dues for helping him and that's why she holds it over his head that she could turn him back. I think she put the spell on her and the king doesn't question it's because he was originally a frog. He thinks it's his fault because of this and asks her for help again. Fairy Godmother says yes but Fiona has to marry her son in exchange for her help. I think she put the spell on Fiona to force this situation so she could give her son what he wants(The crown)... Anyone else think this is the case?

[@rosesvvloweer]

Dragones as a Pegasus and Donkey as a horse is the best idea ever, normally they don't look like they'd be happy together but when their inner beauty is shown we can see that they're the same. And thats why they are a great couple

Strange you would say that Shrek is making all kinds of mistakes. In reality, Shrek predicted most of this would happen and he is attempting to mitigate the problems caused by Fiona not considering what could happen to him. Ostricise, humiliated, threatened and finally subject to assassination. Yeah I believe following Fiona's lead might have been a bit too hastey. Then what Shrek attempts to correct the situation leads directly into the Fairy Godmother's scheme. It's only Shrek's resolve, and a eleventh hour change of heart by the king that saves the day. The choices Fiona makes in the beginning set up her husband four misery and death, which could of been avoided by listening to Shrek.

I like both of these theories!

[@Lannisen]

I always thought that yes, Fiona's curse is passed on from her father, intentionally by the godmother. The king was a frog, thus green, and she turned into an ogre, also green. Instead of turning into a half frog, she turned into a half cursed princess.

[@katonnor]

You mentioned in the first you know prince charming is bad but Farqward was never supposed to be prince charming. I just assumed as you hadn't seen them you had heard parts of both films and thought it was all about the first. Personally I think making the villain a fairy godmother was a genius move. Really showing how fairytale romance isn't as good as natural love. She can make wishes come true but its artificial. Puss in boots is an honorable character. He took an assassin job but when he filled to kill shrek and found out what Shrek was actually like as a person he stepped down and surrendered. Shrek let him live and so Puss joined him to assist on his journey. The fairy godmother was intelligent. Shrek won when he stole the potion but then she worked it out. "Oh I believe this can work to our advantage" then she thought if the plot to replace shrek with charming. Fiona's dads happy ever after was not the potion but he was based on the Princess and the frog story. The fairy godmother here is supposed to be the one fixing all these tales. Fiona's dad did have a change of heart and took away the tea with the potion then redeemed himself fully when he protected shrek and was returned to his old form as a frog

[@darrenfreeman6204]

41:00 I think it’s the princess and the frog story. He was a frog and the fairy godmother turned him human on the condition her son marries his daughter. So he married the princess and became king and he had to put Feona in the castle for charming to rescue. What do u guys think?

[@neolithiumproduction]

Favorite character: Puss N Boots, Donkey Technically, the Father and Mother are a play on the classic fairytale The Princess and the Frog. In which a prince, turned into a frog, convinces the princess to kiss him and let him sleep on her bed and eat her food, which breaks the spell on him. So in regards to Fiona's father, I assume that he fell in love with his wife and the fairy godmother helped him become human so he could be with her. And because he was originally a frog, that curse either transferred to his daughter or the godmother cursed his daughter so she could get her own child on a throne. And that's what she's threatening him with. To turn him back into a frog. Its also almost a hint to other fairytales like Rapunzel or Rumpelstiltskin, where the protag makes a promise to give their first born child to a Witch type character to get a wish.

Third is up on Patreon now, and it will be out here on KZbin next Sunday at noon!

[@videohistory722]

12:37 the whole back and forth right there is a Rocky Horror reference!

[@sylveonpk]

I never imagined watching anyone reacting to this movie , my favorite of all. This was like watching it for the first time since I have always watched it in Spanish, I know this will sound weird but it is even funnier in Spanish that has Eugenio Derbez as Donkey 🤣 , loved your reaction. Greetings from Costa Rica 🇨🇷

[@lorddanielthesecond73]

I particularly love the burger King logo in the background, it really stood out in my memory

[@dylancole1910]

I love the third one, hope you react to the entire series honestly😄

[@videohistory722]

25:05 because that's when the potion took effect. It gives you a full 24 hours to get the kiss.

[@blkluv100]

This film not only uses fairy tale characters but also Mother Goose characters.

[@nickreacts6394]

What exactly are mother goose characters? (I can google it if you prefer, it just sounds like you know what you’re talking about :) )

[@blkluv100]

@@nickreacts6394 Mother Goose is the imaginary author of French fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Primarily known for her nursery rhymes. You've never heard of Little Bo Peep, Humpty Dumpty, The old lady that lived in a shoe. The "Three Blind Mice" in "Shrek" are characters from the nursery rhymes.

1:55 the moment I subscribed to you channel 😻 your so amazing man keep up the good work

[@nique5843]

8:43 in the backgrounds there are places such as Burger Prince, (Baby?) Gap, Farbucks (starbucks), and others HAHAHAHAH

[@danzansandeev6033]

21:37 I mean pretty woman is a fairy tale alright XD

[@JusticeRoothpa]

Another one of my favorite things is when they first get to Far Far Away, pay attention to the names of the stores " Abercrombie and Witch"for example. The postal service is literally an acronym for - F.ar F.ar A.way P.ostal S.ervice - 😆 and that acronym is everywhere. Those who get it, get it.

[@mevb]

The trumpet solo that Reggie was playing is the theme to Hawaii Five-0. Originally it was going to be CHiPS but the test audience didn't recognize it so they changed the tune.

[@prestonanderson1719]

You can see the Movie hunting him originally being a frog with the Lilly pads around their bedroom and how they said they said their first kiss down my the Lilly pound also how that woman frog asked if she knew Him so it was really cool

[@aelfheim6608]

A reference that no-one seems to have mentioned yet is that the giant gingerbread man (Mondo) is I feel a reference to the 'Mongo' character in Blazing Saddles given their similar names and characters.

[@danidkg4071]

fiona trained herself to become a martial arts master when she was stuck in the tower.

[@margretrosenberg420]

Fiona's father was presumably a prince who was turned into a frog. The fairy godmother "helped" him get turned back into a prince, leading to his happily-ever-after as a king. And after he rebels against the demands of Fairy Godmother she does, indeed, rescind his happily-ever-after by turning him back into a frog.

[@pamelahofman1785]

The one comment I haven't seen is the reference to the scene where everyone is running around and while Donkey is in his horse form, there's a news voiceover saying something about the "white Bronco." This is a joke in reference to the car chase that happened in 1994 when famous football player, O. J. Simpson lead the police on a chase for quite some time in a white Ford Bronco when they were trying to arrest him for murder. It's one of the most famous televised car chases of all time and was a huge news story. It's easily Googled.

[@noraa1991]

I got the pepper spray joke before, but I think I JUST got the white bronco reference lol

[@janecrow1122]

Way off topic, but you have a beautiful smile and a wonderful laugh. I'm happy to have found your channel. Peace, all

[@abiabi521]

I laughed way more than you when I first watched this Thor. The references are amazing!

[@videohistory722]

29:27 it's very subtle how they trick you: we first see it on the right side, but when he walks in, it's backwards because we're now seeing it from Fionas perspective, so it's now on the left, and still is when he sets it down. He does in fact not go through with it.

[@AnnieMustange]

This or part 3 are my favorites, can't wait til u see part 3! 😁

[@nickreacts6394]

It’ll be out here next week, out now on patreon :)

[@danielandrade4296]

Although we never see it or even heard of it in the movie, while Donkey turned into a stallion, his dragon wife turned into a pegasus ❣

[@jessicadyer4099]

I love seeing these movies for the first time through your eyes, but dude! How have you never seen these movies?! Like all the Tim Burton ones too! Crazy 😅 Love it though 🖤

[@crazyleonslayer1615]

Am I the only one who’s waiting for that door to move on it’s own?

[@sinelo3965]

At minute 28 (of this KZbin reaction video) when they see the policemen arresting Shrek, Donkey and the Cat, Pinocchio turns his head 180º to look at the others ('The Exorcist'). Have you watched 'Flash Dance'? If you haven't you won't get the reference at the end of the movie

[@Chiraqvids]

if puss in boots drank some of the potion he would've turned into a tiger!

[@lizaharris5026]

I went back and there are clues that the king was a frog. the bedroom has lilies on the wall and everything is green in their bedroom. there is also the reference to the lily pond being in bloom when they kissed.

[@MedusaLegend]

This is the kind of movie you need to watch five or six time for spotting all of the little details.

[@TimotheeReacts]

W movie

[@roderickluke9782]

Heres the theory. when fiona told donkey that a witch cast a spell on her, it was actually the fairy godmother.

[@ryanratchford2530]

Best Shrek film

[@nickreacts6394]

It's so good! Basically the perfect sequel in my book

[@TifaBom]

I swear Prince Charming is Jaime Lannister guy from GOT . I just finished binge watch all 8season of GOT last month and the moment they show Jaime in ep 1, i straight away thought of Prince Charming in Shrek and ik he's not going to be a good person in the series as well🤣😂

[@emilyrln]

One of the best sequels ever made imho.

[@sebastiancalle8892]

Agreed

[@PonchoSaGo]

This is my favorite movie EVER!!!! But I love it in spanish (latin América spanish) because its even funnier!!!.

[@sebastiancalle8892]

Yo también soy latino, amigo. Y es cierto es más gracioso

[@mrsiraldo2544]

I know I'm a late commenter but I also would like to mention if y'all didn't know, that the king and the queen is actually the princess and the frog, then maybe the king asked the fairy godmother to turn him human, and so she gives him his happily ever after, which she mentions in the movie where she would take away his happily ever after. Also many people thought that the fairy godmother was gonna turn Shrek into a frog because the king intervened and turned into a frog, but I think that she was planning on making Shrek turn into bubbles (because the same blast hits the godmother which does turn her into bubbles) and when the king intervened he actually was not affected by the blast but the fairy godmothers death is what affected him, when she died all the magic she created un-did itself making the king turn back into his frog form

[@AMStryx]

If you're one to enjoy fiction novels, Fairy Godmothers, Inc. by Jenniffer Wardell turns tropes on their heads. There are also more novels set in the same universe but written as more stand-alone novels.

[@India.H]

It was implied that the King was originally a frog and the Fairy Godmother helped him with his happily ever after by turning him human.
