- CARTOON EVOLUTION #38 - SHREK
I take a look at the history and evolution of Shrek! Spawning from a 1990 novel by acclaimed author William Steig, the ugly green ogre Shrek saw a pretty swift transition from book to screen. Spending a decade in production hell, the original DreamWorks film went through many hands, including Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg; and numerous iterations, including one which would have seen him voiced by the late Chris Farley. After a last minute over-haul, Shrek went on to be one of the most influential animated films ever, and the character himself, under the lead of Mike Myers, one of the most beloved cartoon characters in history - forging one of the most successful - and successfully memed - animated franchises of all time.
I take a look at how Shrek and his pals; Donkey, Fiona, and Puss in Boots have evolved and how animators changed their look, personality and visual style over the years.
Here's my look at Shrek through the years!

Hope you all loved the Shrek Evolution! Let me know what YOUR favourite Shrek movie or appearance is right here!!
Shrek 2 was a masterpiece.
Shrek 1 and 2 are My Favorite Shrek Movies
Absolutely Dave!
Shrek 2 in my opinion was the best in the series
Shrek 1 master class
This ogre is an absolute icon who set the precedent for animated movies to this day. These movies know how to make pop songs and references really work while still keeping a strong emotional core (except in The Third). His impact on animation and my childhood is immeasurable.
You know Dave, you’re very lucky that that test footage was leaked online this year. Thank you to whoever uploaded that to the internet, you have helped preserve film history and helped us uncover more there is to know about Shrek’s incredible development story.
VERY lucky indeed! Thanks, Ben!
It’s really interesting how Shrek and Toy Story’s development stories are very much alike. They both were very different early on, the main characters were unrecognizable from how we know them, and they both could have ended up being disasters. But luckily with some reworking of their stories and their protagonists and perseverance, they ended up being huge sensations, and two of the most influential animated films of all time. They are both in my eyes very inspirational stories, and show how if you’re working on something and it doesn’t work, don’t ever give up and have a great team alongside you to make something great.
Shrek has been always my favorite childhood movies since I was a kid. Thanks Dave Lee for making this video.🙂
This is definitely unintentional but while Shrek parodied Disney's fairytales more than anything, I think the character himself (in the movies) works as an anti-Mickey Mouse of sorts. They're both the most iconic animated characters of their companies and have iconic ear designs and serve as underdogs, yet while Mickey is short, cute, cheerful and optimistic, Shrek is big, less conventionally appealing and a little more of a pessimist (but still a good guy). This even works outside their characters:Mickey was a star of many short films and has been an ongoing franchise for nearly a century (though Disney have actually been a bit conservative with him), while Shrek has mostly just been used in his movie quadrilogy. What Mickey advanced in 2D animation, Shrek did (or could be debated to have done) for 3D. Since audience demand toned him down, to this day Disney fears for Mickey's brand image to the point it's arguably done more harm to it and simultaneously keeps him an icon while somewhat alienating him as a character from pop culture, while Shrek thrives on his flaws being celebrated and memes rekindled a genuine love of the ogre by audiences.
The first 2 movies were flawless.
25 Years Later, Chris Farley is Still Sorely Missed!!!
Another reason for Mike Myers re-recording his lines with a scottish accent is because his mother used to read fairy tales for him when he was a kid, in a scottish accent, thinking the accent fits a fairy tale.
So amazing franchise
Shrek is one of the most iconic characters ever!
It's no Megamind, but it'll do.
I'm kidding, I love Shrek, and this was a great video
I've never really seen or known much of the early version Shrek with Farley, so seeing all those concept drawings and test footage is truly fascinating. Shrek is just one of my many childhood nostalgic favorite movies. I actually found the book in a bookstore once but I could kick myself for not buying it
Somebody once told me that there’s a new cartoon evolution and I love it
Shrek has always been such an icon to me and to many others one of the best franchises ever.
Shrek 2 is a top tier film. It's just insanely good
42:14 very impressed with the new cgi version of Shrek.
Mike Myers also drew inspiration for his new Shrek voice from the time he portrayed the title character from the SNL Lothar of the Hill People sketches!
I Enjoyed All Shrek Movies (Expect Third) Because Shrek Is Indeed Most Iconic Characters Of DreamWorks Animation And He Was Seen As Good Guy (Since Shrek 2) Also Im Really Like New CGI Design Of Shrek :)
Shrek Is Love, Shrek Is Life.
Shrek is awesome
What’s my favorite Shrek line?
I got to say, in the scene from the first film where they save Fiona and she and Shrek have just met, the line “Well I got to save my ass.” really gets me. The way how Shrek is of course referring to Donkey, but Fiona takes often as she thinks he means saving himself, to me, it’s adult humor done right.
Shrek (1990 Book)
The Original Chris Farley Shrek (Lost Version Of The 2001 Film)
Shrek (2001)
Shrek 2 (2004)
Shrek The Third (2007)
Shrek Forever After: The Final Chapter (2010)
Puss In Boots: The Last Wish (Upcoming Cameo Reference) (2022)
It’s meme time
Hey there Dave! My favorite Shrek Film is Shrek 2 (2004) of course!
How about an Pinocchio Evolution there a lot of versions of Disney classic from movies and animation but Disney's is the best.
It’s gonna be really interesting to see if Cameron Diaz will eventually come back to voice Fiona in the shrek 5 revival. I really hope she does. The franchise won’t be the same without her!
Ogres are like Onions!!!
“They stink?”
WOW!!! I think this may be one of the LONGEST videos by the series... As for my favorite Shrek's appearance, I think both the 2nd movie and the Broadway show are tied in 1st place!! Great video as always Dave👍🏻👍🏻
Batman?
i love this series of yours, learning about the history of animated characters is very interesting
SHReK is the most memorable character Icon for DreamWorks Animation and a beloved classic for the DreamWorks lexicon
The creators from the 4th film of the SHReK franchise, (including Director "Mike Mitchell", Producer "Gina Shay", Editer Nick Fletcher, and cinematographer "Yong Duke Jhun") have worked on a another project which became a new franchise for the studio and that franchise was of course the DreamWorks Trolls and continue their work on the franchise with "Walt Dohrm" as director, producer and voice performances for the sequels, specials and TV series.
hey Dave, have you ever thought about making a new series about animation companies or companies in general like maybe one about Walt Disney since it is turning 100 and that's a BIG deal
I'd rank the Shrek films from best to worst as 1, 4, 2 and 3. I'll say it again. Shrek 5 better have a good story. And a clever title.
Awesome Video Dave
Great coverage as always dave! While I don't share a lot of nostalgia for the character like many do, I did respect it's hilarious stabs at Disney and hilarious spin on fantasy! I also agree that Shrek 2 and put some boots were a great additions to the franchise as a whole despite katzenberg making this a Revenge series against Disney. Thanks again for everything my brother from Down Under!
Ya know. I've always wondered how the Happily ever after potion effected dragon.
I love shrek dave and I love this video plus I love shrek 2 and I like the appearance of shrek in his own musical and mike myers is just funny and wonderful as shrek and I'm excted to see the reboot movie of shrek so happy 2 years to the lovable green orge!
Crazy that Steven Speilberg (who produced franchises: Jurassic Park/World, Indiana Jones. Transformers, Gremlins) almost helmed both Harry Potter & Shrek.
I don’t usually condone stealing valuable information or resources from any film or game studio, but if anyone out there has ANY of either Chris Farley’s original Shrek recordings or Mike Myers’ original Shrek Canadian voice, go ahead and upload it to the internet! It’s always so great to learn more information on the production of films we all know and love, and really helps us appreciate them more than ever. You may risk getting copyright strikes or cease and desists, but they are worth it for preservation of our favorite pieces of media.
My brain always auto translate Jeffrey katzenberger into Jeffery Katzenbug. Thank you Robin Williams
Although a film is less likely to happen I do believe there is room for a TV series based on the Shrek franchise much like DreamWorks did with Kung Fu Panda and Puss in Boots
Have Dave Lee I have a brain storming suggestion for your 2023 cartoon evolution I really liked your Cartoon Evolution theme to a DreamWorks franchise. You think you can do the same thing with two other franchises that i enjoyed the most.
1) "How to Train Your Dragon" (2003-2023)🐲 celebrating 20 years
Based on the book series written by a British author "Cressida Cowell" and was bought and created for DreamWorks Animation
2) "Trolls" (1959-2023)🌈 celebrating 64 years
Based on the original dolls created by danish woodcarver "Thomas Dam" and was bought and created for DreamWorks Animation.
You think you could do these DreamWorks theme cartoon evolution videos this year?
I love your evolutions! 🤩👍🏽
Thank you!
@@DaveLeeDownUnder Anytime! :D
Can You Please Do One For Madagasar
🦁🦓🦛🦒
My favorite will be Shrek 2 just cause of the scene where Shrek and others are chained up and Gingy comes to save them. The whole part with Pinocchio talking about wearing woman's underwear. That had me cracking up the whole time and I still enjoy it when it airs on TV. The first one will always be a neat and endearing movie but the 2nd one is my all time favorite. I do have the first 3 soundtracks but I didn't really care for the 4th one. I couldn't get into the whole Shrek not being born like the "It's A Wonderful Life" movie. I still went and saw it in theaters but it just didn't get the first time. It's grown on me a little. I wouldn't mind seeing a whole new installment of movies of Shrek and friends. I'd call it more of a continuation of the franchise then a reboot. If they like Dave has said they want to keep the original voice actors then it's more of just newer stories of the characters then a reboot with a whole new cast. Oh Dave not sure if you knew about it and if you did and just thought it wasn't good enough material for this video I do understand. There was a Christmas album with songs of Shrek and Donkey first Chrsitmas together. It's pretty funny and I love the songs too
Personally I hope the eventual shrek 5 does bring back the idea of his parents or his side of the family as that’s what the original story would’ve been for the movie if it had released back in 2013. Now that puss in boots the last wish is almost out, anything is possible. I really want to see more of kitty softpaws and the new dog character piretro too. He really is a scene stealer I think!
Shrek will always be one of my favorite movies. The sequel is top tier.
PDI wasn't split off of DreamWorks - DreamWorks BOUGHT them out and merged them into themselves.
Why create a whole new division from scratch when you already have one available?
I was analyzing the opening scene of the first shrek with my intro to film class as a practice for our shot/scene analysis essays. We pointed out what filmmaking techniques the scene used. We even pointed out stuff like metaphors or illusions to. For instance, the entire conversation Shrek has with the villagers is allegory for stereotypes and racism.
Yeah while the films are parodying fairy tales; and other genres there's some political commentary.
To think of all the things that needed to happen for Mike Meyers to win the role of shrek is to ponder the reality of fate, even as a non-fatalist
I’ve been pondering on this idea for a while but I think it’s something that’ll hopefully interest you…..why not do cartoon evolutions on web toons or internet cartoons like honestar runner or Eddsworld….idk I think it’ll be a good idea! Btw I love your work and your awesome mate!❤❤❤
Rosio's name is pronounced Row-see-oh as it is of italian origins. Also I wonder if Steig isn't prounounced like "steeg" (as in the swedish name Stig).
I did extensive research into how to pronounce Stieg, and took the pronunciation directly from an official documentary produced on him.
I Like Sherk Original Movie on 2001
A truly legendary film character!
Great Video Dave Lee Down Under
If only a certain youtube critic from the animation community understood Shrek's cultural impact on animated films moving forward.
I kinda feel sad that the story didn’t conclude with Shrek forever after,and there is going to be a 5th movie,I felt the ending was perfect to conclude.
Thank you for showing Prince of Egypt
Shrek is always been one of my favorite DreamWorks franchises and wow 32 years huh? I feel a little old now but hey it's my birthday
Everybody now!
🎵Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed🎵
This is how I wanna make my cartoons movie
20:56 I’m a delivery boy 👁️ 👁️
Where's shrek 5!😭😭😭😭
Great video, just wished you'd mentioned about Donkey's cameo in the NBC series Father of the Pride.
So for Shrek 4,
Shrek: Mike Myers
Donkey: Eddie Murphy
Fiona: Cameron Diaz
Puss in Boots: Antonio Banderas
Rumplestiltskin: Walt Dohrn
DreamWorks Animation would actually split from the main DreamWorks company in 2004, taking PDI with them. PDI remained a division of the then independent DreamWorks Animation until its closure in 2015 due to a restructuring at the studio.
25:46 Wrong, Katzenberg Wanted Shrek To Be Originally a Franchise of Five Films.
Wrong. Watch the whole video. I quite LITERALLY quoted him as saying “it’s a story of four parts”. He later changed his mind.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder Yes I Saw The Entire Video, But I Just Saying When Katzenberg Planned Shrek Sequels From The Beginning He Wanted 4 Shrek Sequels Not 3
Can you do the cat in the hat and super mario bros evolution please
He'll do Mario next year
42:33 - Was the choice of word "penetrate" intentional when the "Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life" meme is referenced?
👀
Some
Body
@Chase Studios *Once
So for Shrek 3,
Shrek: Mike Myers
Donkey: Eddie Murphy
Fiona: Cameron Diaz
Puss in Boots: Antonio Banderas
King Harold: John Cleese
Queen Lilian: Julie Andrews
Prince Charming: Rupert Everett
Arthur Pendragon: Justin Timberlake
Merlin: Eric Idle
Can you do the history of Pepe Le Pew and then after that Penelope the Cat?
Sorry, no plans to cover either - and if I were to, they’d both be covered in the one video.
My favorite is shrek in sonic zombies and joshi
As I promise, I am actually eating WAFFLES
YES! 🧇
Aw you almost showed the goose exploding lol
12
Nice
I hope they make Shrek The Fifth soon, because it would send those original bad versions of the good fairy tales to the world of myths.
You didn’t Know That Toonsylvania was Dreamwork’s First Ever Production before Antz and Shrek was Released.
Yes, I did know. DreamWorks worked on various projects before Antz and Shrek were released. Toonsylvania was a TV show - does not change the fact that Antz was their first movie. It's also irrelevant to this video.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder Sorry about That, But It’s Just You didn’t mentioned the Show in a Video Before.
Yep. Forever After is STILL my favourite 🤷🏼♂️
1:47 very funny
So for Puss in Boots the last wish,
Puss in Boots: Antonio Banderas
Kitty Softpaws: Salma Hayek
Perrito: Harvey Guillen
Goldilocks: Florence Pugh
Papa Bear: Ray Winstone
Mama Bear: Olivia Colman
Baby Bear: Samson Kayo
Big Jack Horner: John Mulaney
Death Wolf: Wagner Moura
Shrek the Third is the only of the films that I skip over when rewatching them. Even when it came out when I was a kid I didn’t like it.
It’s the only one I actually hadn’t watched in full until earlier this year!
@@DaveLeeDownUnder I guess I can’t blame them since Shrek 2 was such a hard act to follow, but I think 3 just went too far in the juvenile territory. It’s like when you have a recipe that everyone loves, and too much of one ingredient can make the dish not taste as good as it would have with the right amount.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder I loved how you showed I loved how when talking about 3 you went from Puss saying goodbye to a girl cat as he’s about to head off on the quest, to the baby projectile vomiting on Shrek and the Hooters gag. (I have literally no idea how the MPAA allowed that to make it in!) That summarizes how unbalanced this movie is. For every one or two character-driven, emotional and sincere moments, we’re hit with such awkward attempts at PG crude humor.
The movie version of Shrek
Well I had mixed opinions upon hearing of a 5th Shrek film, but after seeing this video I have a lot more faith in a 5th and maybe 6-8 films. I hope they will do well. Even if we only get 2 more Shrek films. 😊
some body want
Shrek is good
Can you do a cartoon evolution of Mortimer Mouse next
Ya did Shrek. What about Mike Wazowski next!
Next Cartoon Evolution: The Pink Panther
Shrek is the Mickey Mouse of DreamWorks Animation.
