Amazing analysis as always just wanted to point out the instrumental shrek tracks are also amazing, the song that plays when shrek and donkey are in the shed transforming is a sort of reprise of "eating alone" or whatever, that fucking GOLDEN song that plays when shrek is...eating, alone...and when shrek and donkey are talking under the stars, so the fact that they have continuity between the INSTRUMENTAL BACKGROUND MUSIC only adds to shrek 2's stardom
I love the fact that at the end of Shrek 1, Shrek accepts that he is an ogre. He doesn’t hate to be one anymore. But in Shrek 2’s finale he actually chooses to be one. He finally likes and wants to be himself.
And in Shrek 4, he feels like he isn't himself anymore that maybe he was better before, only to learn that he actually has an almost perfect life, that he actually loved his friends, wife and children.
Growing up as a kid I thought “holding out for a hero” was made specifically for shrek 2 because it was the first time I ever heard it and it was just that perfect of a fit
About the King being the Frog Prince, When he enters The Poison Apple, a Female Frog asks The King if she knows him. The King gets nervous and says that she must be thinking of someone else. This implies that before he became king, he left her as a frog to be with The Queen. Damn.
I Just had a massive realization that the muffin man from shrek 2 is probably one of the most powerful/threatening forces in the far far away/the shrek universe. like, the man was able to create mongo, a colossul gingerbread man that a whole castle guard had trouble fighting, and then you realize he made him in the span of a few minutes (the ball already started before shrek and crew got to him). so, he could potentially create a whole army of them and that is hilarious, imagine the rumbling from Attack on Titan but with gingerbread men.
Dude, finally someone who recognizes the menace that the Muffin Man is. And the dude was never a villain in the Shrek franchise. Complete chad, just baking cookies.
Lord Farquaad wanted to take out the muffin man. He knew that if he didn’t find and eliminate the muffin man, that he wouldn’t be able to keep his power. The muffin man always finds a way.
One thing that surprised me: the marketing did not spoil Shrek's human form. I watched it when it came out and he surprise of what he looked like was one of the best parts.
My brother is the only person I know who isn't actually a fan of "I need a hero", because when he was like 4, he was absolutely devastated when the giant gingerbread died, and suffers from ptsd whenever he hears the song
@@caeleeschoeman2340 imagine me and the test if my siblings jamming out, and then my brother sadly sitting down staring blankly off into space, like a soldier remembering the war.
We have a problem. Shrek 2 is absolutely the best application of this song, but there is one thing that stands in it's way. Tetris (not the game, the movie). It's application of the song is alright, but it has 2 remixes of the song, which are both better than Shrek 2's cover! One has to win. We have to fight for Shrek 2! Together! (No discredit to Tetris tho, still a great movie)
There's a fourth? I thought that after going from Fairy Godmother to Rumpelstiltskin and with what Shrek had to go through I thought that was a great way to end the franchise

A small character detail that I also love is that Fiona isn't just some oblivious, innocent damsel in this whole situation with Prince Charming. Like sure, she kind of goes along because the whole experience is new and confusing and she isn't exactly sure who to trust -- but she knows herself and her relationship with Shrek so well that she trusts her gut, while also knowing to wait for the right time to act on her intuition.
Fun Fact: Smash Mouth's "All Star" was originally used as a placement for another song, but since it was so well-received by test screening audiences, they decided to keep it in Shrek 1's opening.
One of my favorite moments in the "Holding Out for a Hero" moment is near the end and we get this epic as hell transition/character moment for Puss. When FGM sings the line: "He's gotta be larger than life" and we see Puss jump down ready to face the guards as the trumpet solo plays. Shrek, and Donkey, try to go back for him but Puss tells them to go on to repay his debt. But, we know this isn't about his debt, this is a man (cat?) willingly putting his life on the line so his friend can save his wife and you can hear it in his voice that he is willing to die for him. For an ogre, he only knew for a day or two, one he was hired to kill and has shown him nothing but mercy, humor, and determination for his loved ones, a trait that he himself has long forgotten until he met a monster that earned his happy ending. Shrek was the hero of the film, but Puss in Boots was Shrek's hero. p.s., I was literally holding back tears while writing this because of how goddamn moving Puss' heroics was mixed with epic music.
Bro..when that scene happen and he made the cute eyes I was like aawww BUT THEN THEY HIT YOU WITH THE CHOIR SINGING THE AAAS AND PUSS IS LIKE BATTLING THEM I WAS LIKE OMG ok I’m sorry but I completely understand.
According to my parents, as a child, I’ve watched Shrek SO many times. I’ve basically memorized every line. I apparently even had a CD with the Shrek soundtrack on it, and memorized EVERY song... I don’t know if I was a strange child, or a cultured child
It's so validating when you realize that the classic films you grew up with turn out to be well-crafted and thought-out masterpieces that stand the test of time.
I just rewatched Shrek 2 and was surprised by how well-paced it was. No one’s dwelling on a misunderstanding or is spending too much time sad. Instead, Shrek and his friends act intelligently and move the plot along when they're supposed to. I could believe the movie was almost over when the Fairy Godmother gave King Harold the love potion.
My favorite thing about the "I need a hero" scene is that it works from BOTH perspectives. The Fairy Godmother/Prince Charming perspective and the Shrek/Fiona perspective
Very unfortunately, The Blockbuster Buster, Cartoon Palooza would and et cetera et cetera would be all like “You’re giving Shrek 2 way too much credit, it’s not at all THAT deep!” if he saw it. Even if they didn’t dislike Shrek 2, they reviewed it unfairly to make people look like it has more flaws than people see, as if they were any more insightful when it makes them look like the people that look for things to complain about in many DreamWorks Animation movies that they are. Hell, Cartoon Palooza even went as far as to say that without Shrek 2, Shark Tale wouldn’t have been the way it is! Shrek 2 could’ve been a positive influence on Shark Tale to make it an amazing movie, but how Shark Tale turned out executed to be the disaster (no pun intended) it is will always be a mystery since it has all the potential to be as great as people make it out to be in retrospect, potential and nostalgia.
Hey Schaff, I had just finished watching this video when a friend of mine told me what had happened... My deepest, most sincere condolences. I know this probably doesn't mean much coming from a stranger on the internet, and I know many of us can not even begin to understand the grief and pain you are experiencing, but I hope your physical injuries heal quickly. Most important of all, I hope your mental and spiritual wounds heal, however long that may take. You are a talented, thoughtful content creator, and your work has made me smile, even when it was hard to do so. Thank you for giving us the gift of reprieve from our own hardships. I hope you too will someday have reprieve from the pain of loss. Wishing you all the best.
He's left such an impact, i agree wholeheartedly... and with all that he's done i believe he can rest easy and can take all the time he needs to grieve.
The fact that Puss in Boots got his own movie is proof that Shrek 2 left an undeniable impact on the franchise since he wasn’t introduced in the first Shrek movie but the sequel.
This hits on a new level since there is another PiB movie and no word on the rumored Shrek 5 reboot but I think Forever After had a grand finale Shrek doesn't need to flanderize himself like Homer,Peter,Goku,and Rick Sanchez he left a positive impact on society and that's what really matters
Pussy's film is both a thematic and commercial impact of Shrek franchise, but Far Far Away and grounding even more in love and self value as the main theme of the trilogy is the real impact of Shrek 2.
I never really cry from watching movies but there’s two times I’ve been close: 1. Schindlers List, when the survivors and actors lay the rocks on the graves 2. Shrek 2, When mongo (the big ginger bread man) falls into the water
the ending to this video is still the best thing schaffrillas has ever done. absolutely soul-touching and extremely genuine while tying so perfectly into the thematic depth of Shrek 2. masterpiece of a video
This might sound stupid, but this is the video that solidified my love of Shrek 2, taking its place as my favorite movie of all time- which all my friends know as a staple of my personality. I’ve been watching your videos for years, and god, this tragedy is just… I can’t even fucking imagine what you, your family, and everybody who was lucky enough to know Patrick and Chris must be going through right now. We don’t even know if you’re gonna be okay. I really, really hope so. If there’s any chance you see this, I just want you to know how big of an impact your, Patrick, and Chris’s channel has had on me. It’s meant a lot, man. I’m so fucking sorry for the losses of your brother and best friend. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with your family. Thank you, Schaffrillas.
@@jupiter9023 He got into a car crash with his best friend, Chris, and his brother, Patrick. He was the only one to survive. I believe he’s currently in the hospital. We’re all wishing him and their families the very best

What i expected when clicking on this video: an in-depth analysis and review of Shrek 2 What i actually got: tears in my eyes. Thank you giant shiny crab.
Both LatAm and Castellano Spanish are prime tier. Regardless if you're Latin or Spanish, we can all agree that Spanish Dub (based on your country) is the way to watch Shrek.
My favorite video of this channel, still go back to it sometimes. Heard the news, can't imagine what it is like to go through. Wish the best for James and the future of this channel.
I remember when I was really younger, shrek 2's I need a hero was the song we had a choreographed dance to. Not the original, the shrek 2 version. That has got to say something.
“Ah, it’s just the old crusade injury acting up again” -King Harold I rewatched this movie recently and when I heard this line I could not stop laughing
@@insulam821 Wait... so this confirms that Disney and Dreamworks are connected in the animated universe, and that they've gone to war... *I DON'T NEED SLEEP I NEED ANSWERS!!!!*
That one part in which Doris asks Human!Shrek and co. "Why the long face?" while Donkey is still a horse is one of the funniest jokes I've ever seen in a movie. Donkey's blink-and-you-will-miss "dude, not funny" glare to the question was priceless.
And what’s great is that through the whole movie Shrek and Fiona still loved each other. They just had trouble getting onto the same page because they were fighting different battles at the same time (Fiona dealing with abandonment issues from her parents leaving her in a tower, and Shrek’s self worth worsening again by being discriminated against constantly), the only thing stopping them from working out these issues together were the other characters keeping them apart. Once they were reunited in the end they were as strong as ever. It’s so easy for writers to just completely break down the relationship in the first movie so they can rebuild again it in the sequel. But it just cheapens the love when they do that. I’m so glad they didn’t go that far for this movie and it just about Shrek realizing he DOES deserve happiness.
I’m not saying that the ending got me crying, but damn did that ending really hit way too close to home. Everything you said about being good enough shook me to my core where the only thing I would tell myself is how I’m not good enough for my friends or my family but to be told that I deserve joy sparked something in me. Thank you. I feel like things are going to be better now.
I don't think there's ever been a more influential movie in my life. Grew up with these movies... Loved them as a kid even if they were so deep we didn't fully understand them as kids... But as you grow up (I'm now a college student), they still hit. They're relatable. I am an autistic person and have struggled a lot with identity, these movies that were with me most of my life, have always been there to relate to and they've actually helped me through things. Through self-doubt, through being unable to accept myself for who I am, to struggling socially, or with relationships, or being alone... Or always feeling like I'm not good enough They're phenomenal, truly.
I only just realized that Gingy screams “NOT THE GUMDROP BUTTON!” In the scene where mongo loses a button. Which is a homage to shrek 1 where he says the same line
Shrek 2 was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. I was also obsessed with the Shrek movies as a kid. My dad said I had the most bearable movie obsession because he liked the movies too
This video actually helped me through a really hard time in my life and I am so glad for you emotionally encouragement. You along with my family may have saved my life.
This is a good video and I agree with most of your arguments, but there is one big reason why Shrek 2 is a needed sequel to the first Shrek that was not touched on. In the first Shrek, Shrek and Fiona kissed while Fiona was an ogre...and she remained an ogre. For all of the talk about accepting yourself, Fiona never really did choose to be an ogre. Even she thought the kiss would make her human. In the sequel, Fiona finds herself human again, not at her own choosing, and while she had accepted being an ogre to be with Shrek, she didn't mind being human, either; her real issue was how "Shrek" had changed so drastically. In the end, Fiona decides to consciously choose to become an ogre again, not just because locking her in a human form would also deny Shrek of who he is, but because despite Shrek's lingering doubts (which admittedly is growth from the first movie as he now actively considers what he's done to her through his actions), she doesn't mind being an ogre herself. She actively chooses the form she stays in for all time. In the first movie, for all of the subversions, the princess is still just a prize to be won. In Shrek 2, Fiona is a partner who gets to choose her own fate.
I feel as though this is kind of false? I don't believe Fiona thought kissing Shrek would turn her human. As she herself states, the curse says that she will turn into the FORM of her true love, not back into a human. She understood that, if an ogre was her true love, then she would then turn into an ogre as well.
@@kiwi5442 It's clear from the first movie Fiona accepted that thinking after the fact, but not before. While at the end of the first movie she and Shrek kissed due to true love and clearly not with the intention of turning human, when the curse was broken she still definitely *expected* that to happen. "But I don't understand," she says once the curse has broken, referring to the post-curse form. "I'm supposed to be beautiful." She clearly doesn't think herself of being an ogre as beautiful; that's consistent through the entire first movie. It's reasonable to assume from her comment that she thought she would be human. It's Shrek who tells her that she is beautiful. She doesn't come to this realization herself. In fact that what makes Shrek's insecurities so well founded in Shrek 2; yes, Fiona did unconditionally accept him, but even at the end of the first movie it wasn't clear if she had accepted herself, and that made Shrek in turn doubt himself in the next movie.
Fun fact the people at Dreamworks were originally going to make an original song for the first scene in Shrek 1 and the All Star version was an animation test but then the they decided that All Star fit so well with the scene that they decided to get the rights from Smashmouth
I remember my grandfather took me, my sister and my cousins to see Shrek 2 at the drive-in, playing on a double bill with Spider-Man 2 and seeing those great films back-2-back is what kickstarted my childhood. God I miss those days!
Dreamworks is amazing at sequels in general. How to Train your Dragon 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Sherk 2, all amazing as sequels. Which as you know, is reallly hard to pull off. One of my favorite Dreamworks movies, i feel didn't get all the love it deserved. Megamind.
Shrek 1: Shrek learns to stop doubting himself about being worthy of love Shrek 2: Shrek learns to stop doubting about his status or abilities etc. Shrek 4: Shrek learns to appreciate what he has.
16:14 Fun fact: The Shrek movies and The Metal Gear Solid franchise share the same composer. So now I know why the Holding Out for a Hero cover in this slaps so hard.
@@jackhamilton9604 the "knights" scene where it said "we've got a white bronco headed east. requesting backup". it referred to the infamous OJ white bronco car chase
I think what really helped sell this movie is the fact that not only did they let us see what canon human version of shrek would look like. They actually made shrek look GOOD. And making Donkey a white stallion was pure gold.
Shrek 1: discovering love in spite of what society says about you Shrek 2: maintaining love as well confronting insecurities Shrek The Third: filler arc Shrek Forever After: appreciating the love the people around you
Uh? does no one remember shrek is scared of being a dad? and the moment at the end with the cyclops and his little girl? it wasnt perfect, but its relatable for many parents
My younger brother hates sitting through movies. The only movie he ever finished to the end was shrek. My father and him binged the full series even on a weekend once
NvWest when I watch a movie with my brother he doesn’t like anything except Shrek. And he also watches it till the end without getting bored. Same with my sis. Shrek movies are magic
I mean... if Fiona is under no illusions over Fairy Godmother's motives... she could be throwing shade. Also... what was the likelihood that King Harold had a witch in his court. If all she heard are that witches are magical ladies who do bad things, so being victim of a magical lady doing a bad thing could have made her assume Fairy Godmother was a witch. Or, Fairy Godmother gaslit the family into believing that a witch did it. Or she could have orchestrated it and hired a witch to not be technically personally responsible.
My Imaginary World Exists! - Somebody once told me Shrek 2’s a perfect sequel And those who say that’s wrong end up dead With its story and its jokes And the feelings that it evokes And “I Need a Hero” that’s stuck in my head Shrek 2 is amazing You should watch it, baby If you’ve seen it, watch it again. It’s just that great, okay? This movie never gets OLD. This is an animated piece of gold

Instead, Shrek and his friends act intelligently and move the plot along when they're supposed to. I could believe the movie was almost over when the Fairy Godmother gave King Harold the love potion.
My favorite thing about the "I need a hero" scene is that it works from BOTH perspectives. The Fairy Godmother/Prince Charming perspective and the Shrek/Fiona perspective
TRUEEEE
The only bad thing about Shrek 2 is not being able to watch it again for the first time
unless you get amnesia
And that it ends
I’m saving it for a special occasion.

I think it's because it's too great that it loses replay value, it feels so scary to watch it all over again.
I did NOT expect Shrek 2 would become THAT deep oof
Very unfortunately, The Blockbuster Buster, Cartoon Palooza would and et cetera et cetera would be all like “You’re giving Shrek 2 way too much credit, it’s not at all THAT deep!” if he saw it. Even if they didn’t dislike Shrek 2, they reviewed it unfairly to make people look like it has more flaws than people see, as if they were any more insightful when it makes them look like the people that look for things to complain about in many DreamWorks Animation movies that they are. Hell, Cartoon Palooza even went as far as to say that without Shrek 2, Shark Tale wouldn’t have been the way it is! Shrek 2 could’ve been a positive influence on Shark Tale to make it an amazing movie, but how Shark Tale turned out executed to be the disaster (no pun intended) it is will always be a mystery since it has all the potential to be as great as people make it out to be in retrospect, potential and nostalgia.

Hey Schaff, I had just finished watching this video when a friend of mine told me what had happened... My deepest, most sincere condolences. I know this probably doesn't mean much coming from a stranger on the internet, and I know many of us can not even begin to understand the grief and pain you are experiencing, but I hope your physical injuries heal quickly. Most important of all, I hope your mental and spiritual wounds heal, however long that may take. You are a talented, thoughtful content creator, and your work has made me smile, even when it was hard to do so. Thank you for giving us the gift of reprieve from our own hardships. I hope you too will someday have reprieve from the pain of loss. Wishing you all the best.

The fact that Puss in Boots got his own movie is proof that Shrek 2 left an undeniable impact on the franchise since he wasn’t introduced in the first Shrek movie but the sequel.
I think the fact that Far Far Away was the main setting for the rest of the trilogy shows enough how impactful it was on the Shrek franchise
This hits on a new level since there is another PiB movie and no word on the rumored Shrek 5 reboot but I think Forever After had a grand finale Shrek doesn't need to flanderize himself like Homer,Peter,Goku,and Rick Sanchez he left a positive impact on society and that's what really matters
I thought Puss was weakest part of 2, his character, his inclusion into the "crew" it's so half baked, if 2 had ANY flaw it was how they handled him.
how did I never realize he wasn’t in the first movie?? Am I crazy?? Literally how. That’s nuts 😂
Pussy's film is both a thematic and commercial impact of Shrek franchise, but Far Far Away and grounding even more in love and self value as the main theme of the trilogy is the real impact of Shrek 2.
I never really cry from watching movies but there’s two times I’ve been close:
1. Schindlers List, when the survivors and actors lay the rocks on the graves
2. Shrek 2, When mongo (the big ginger bread man) falls into the water

Es una de las pocas películas que puedo ver traducidas y no me quejo. Es genial.

And what’s great is that through the whole movie Shrek and Fiona still loved each other. They just had trouble getting onto the same page because they were fighting different battles at the same time (Fiona dealing with abandonment issues from her parents leaving her in a tower, and Shrek’s self worth worsening again by being discriminated against constantly), the only thing stopping them from working out these issues together were the other characters keeping them apart. Once they were reunited in the end they were as strong as ever. It’s so easy for writers to just completely break down the relationship in the first movie so they can rebuild again it in the sequel. But it just cheapens the love when they do that. I’m so glad they didn’t go that far for this movie and it just about Shrek realizing he DOES deserve happiness.

Everything you said about being good enough shook me to my core where the only thing I would tell myself is how I’m not good enough for my friends or my family but to be told that I deserve joy sparked something in me. Thank you. I feel like things are going to be better now.
I don't think there's ever been a more influential movie in my life. Grew up with these movies... Loved them as a kid even if they were so deep we didn't fully understand them as kids...
But as you grow up (I'm now a college student), they still hit. They're relatable. I am an autistic person and have struggled a lot with identity, these movies that were with me most of my life, have always been there to relate to and they've actually helped me through things.
Through self-doubt, through being unable to accept myself for who I am, to struggling socially, or with relationships, or being alone... Or always feeling like I'm not good enough
They're phenomenal, truly.
I only just realized that Gingy screams “NOT THE GUMDROP BUTTON!” In the scene where mongo loses a button. Which is a homage to shrek 1 where he says the same line

This video actually helped me through a really hard time in my life and I am so glad for you emotionally encouragement. You along with my family may have saved my life.
This is a good video and I agree with most of your arguments, but there is one big reason why Shrek 2 is a needed sequel to the first Shrek that was not touched on.
In the first Shrek, Shrek and Fiona kissed while Fiona was an ogre...and she remained an ogre. For all of the talk about accepting yourself, Fiona never really did choose to be an ogre. Even she thought the kiss would make her human.
In the sequel, Fiona finds herself human again, not at her own choosing, and while she had accepted being an ogre to be with Shrek, she didn't mind being human, either; her real issue was how "Shrek" had changed so drastically.
In the end, Fiona decides to consciously choose to become an ogre again, not just because locking her in a human form would also deny Shrek of who he is, but because despite Shrek's lingering doubts (which admittedly is growth from the first movie as he now actively considers what he's done to her through his actions), she doesn't mind being an ogre herself. She actively chooses the form she stays in for all time.
In the first movie, for all of the subversions, the princess is still just a prize to be won. In Shrek 2, Fiona is a partner who gets to choose her own fate.
Damn.
*slow clap*
Seems a tad reachy
I feel as though this is kind of false? I don't believe Fiona thought kissing Shrek would turn her human. As she herself states, the curse says that she will turn into the FORM of her true love, not back into a human. She understood that, if an ogre was her true love, then she would then turn into an ogre as well.
@@kiwi5442 It's clear from the first movie Fiona accepted that thinking after the fact, but not before.
While at the end of the first movie she and Shrek kissed due to true love and clearly not with the intention of turning human, when the curse was broken she still definitely *expected* that to happen.
"But I don't understand," she says once the curse has broken, referring to the post-curse form. "I'm supposed to be beautiful."
She clearly doesn't think herself of being an ogre as beautiful; that's consistent through the entire first movie. It's reasonable to assume from her comment that she thought she would be human. It's Shrek who tells her that she is beautiful. She doesn't come to this realization herself.
In fact that what makes Shrek's insecurities so well founded in Shrek 2; yes, Fiona did unconditionally accept him, but even at the end of the first movie it wasn't clear if she had accepted herself, and that made Shrek in turn doubt himself in the next movie.
I loved Shrek when I was a kid. Then I grew up and thought everyone "loved" it as a joke. But everyone loves Shrek.
Fun fact the people at Dreamworks were originally going to make an original song for the first scene in Shrek 1 and the All Star version was an animation test but then the they decided that All Star fit so well with the scene that they decided to get the rights from Smashmouth

Dreamworks is amazing at sequels in general. How to Train your Dragon 2, Kung Fu Panda 2, Sherk 2, all amazing as sequels. Which as you know, is reallly hard to pull off.
One of my favorite Dreamworks movies, i feel didn't get all the love it deserved. Megamind.

I mean... if Fiona is under no illusions over Fairy Godmother's motives... she could be throwing shade.
Also... what was the likelihood that King Harold had a witch in his court. If all she heard are that witches are magical ladies who do bad things, so being victim of a magical lady doing a bad thing could have made her assume Fairy Godmother was a witch.
Or, Fairy Godmother gaslit the family into believing that a witch did it. Or she could have orchestrated it and hired a witch to not be technically personally responsible.
