This is unironically my favourite genre of video, analyzing non-serious media that are loosely connected to a historical setting in a super scrutinizing historical lens
The Welsh Viking has one that reviews How to train your Dragon through a historical lens. Title: "How VIKING is How To Train Your Dragon?" I'm going to head over there and rewatch it.
You can find short films, historical reviews, comedy skits, and now Shrek on this channel, which just goes to show that much like an onion, Karolina has layers.
I think the mixture of costumes from various eras works well in the universe because not all of the fairytales are from the same century- It makes perfect sense that there would be influences from different time periods.
Yeah. I just now realize that is odd that french baroque costume in medievel Shrek universe. but I think the intention was to make Shrek and Fiona feel unconfortable and out of place in that scene.
And I think it really makes sense that the fairy godmother and Prince Charming look like they're wearing costumes because it shows how fake their characters are.
@@leonardobazail8740 because Fairy Godmother always grants you a wish. And wish is a famous (for it's cheep quality) clothing company, so pun intended
@@nani2155 I didn't read that to be sarcastic to be honest. There are tons of people in the internet who never heard of Shrek.. you know, the young ones. I have never completed any Shrek movie btw.. Shrek's humor's not my cup of tea.
Karolina is gonna start her own Polish version of either Dreamworks or Disney and EVERY last costume in every film she produces WILL always be historically accurate, no matter how trivial it might seem to many.
Considering that she has a film degree, totally possible. She only needs a producer who will fully support it (because money and historical themed films are expensive 🙈)
@@DragonriderEpona To her noble cause, i am willing to invest exorbitantly 21 (in words: eleventeen) euromonies (€€€) in her future studio. I know, i'm truly selfless, no need to thank me.
Absolutely love how Charming put on a Shrek cosplay outfit to convince Fiona. Meanwhile the real Shrek is out here getting to wear clothes that are made to fit him now and choosing something a little different! Kinda cute detail :)
Ok so question? If only Shrek's little vest belonged to a human: Is there someone in town who is making ogre sized clothing or is Shrek into handsewing linen shirts and shoemaking?
@@peccantis the most notable differences would be in the colors used and the style in which they’re applied. Heavy lip liner (not a staple in the 30s) in a dark shade of purple over a nude or pink, a harsh thin brow, purple blush (often used to contour too), and very heavy smoky eye looks were pretty standard in the scene. The main similarities would be the brow shape and eyeshadow color, but the application was a lot more subtle in the 30s.
It's also similar to classic panto dame makeup (that I always assumed those characters were). For anyone unfamiliar with pantomimes, the dame is a female character played by a male actor and is often played as a caricature of that character. Some examples are the ugly sisters in Cinderella and Widow Twanky in Aladdin.
Our mediaeval studies professor actually used Shrek to explain the archetypes and story models of heroic epic I hope she finds this video. She's going to love it
The surprisingly historically accurate fashion added so much personality and charm to the franchise and i don't even know if it was intentional because the making of the movie was so heavily motivated by spite toward Michael Eisner's Disney. Being "Shreked" (moved from the Prince of Egypt crew to the Shrek crew) was even used as a punishment from what i heard.
shreks li'l vest, i have decided personally, is either a crop top vest situation for fashion purposes, or a practical sports bra to keep the girls in place. the sports bra makes sense to me if we're going period, because anything supportive like a corset or stayswould be worn outside the shift or chemise or undershirt, and Shrek is not concerned with people being around, so it would be the equivalent of him walking around in bootyshorts and a sports bra today. (this is a joke dont come for me i do not think it is genuinely a supportive garment but haha funny)
historical drama costume drinking game: take a shot whenever you see a minor/background character who's more accurately dressed than the main characters
Ok, weird thing I just noticed. Charming's outfit in the third movie looks _really_ similar to the one Harald (Fiona's dad) wore back when he was human; so... do you think when the Prince took over the reign, he also got access to the king's wardrobe? Is he wearing the King's old clothes?
Well observed! Although they'd have to be veeeery altered to fit, if that was the case?! 🤪 Loved Karolina's note re. Charming's essentially doing a Shrek cosplay in #2 following the bait-&-switch, that was a great wee detail!
I'm actually shocked at how accurate these clothes were, especially the first movie where they all also seemed to match the roughly the same century. When a kids animation movie does historical clothing better than some costume drama's .... >.
Ironically, I just happen upon a Bardcore rendition of Holding Out for a Hero. Someone in the comment section pointed out that it was the historically accurate Shrek. The music video is gloriously animated in the medieval style paintings. For those who wanted to check it out, it was on the channel of the artist by the name Hildegard von Blingin'
I love Hildegard’s stuff! Have you seen her collabs with Algal the Bard? Also, the collab with Bernadette Banner when Bernadette did the Wheel of Time blue gown. *chef’s kiss*!
1:04 not only did it start development in the 90s, the late great Chris Farley was the original voice of Shrek and he had allegedly done like 95% of the movie when he passed away forcing them to recast Mike Myers in the role which totally changed the tone of the film!
No one else going to comment on the green earrings and green shirt? It’s a nice little nod to Shrek while talking about Shrek. I’m here for it. Great fit. 😌
Timing literally could not have been more perfect, I just started rewatching these movies after noticing they're on Hulu. I've just finished the first and I gotta say it aged amazingly well, I like even it more as an adult than I did as a kid
Honestly, I think all the movies (except #3 which we just pretend never happened!) are pretty darn good! As per most DW movies, nicely layered with stuff to appeal to both adults & kids. The only bits that really irked me were Fiona's weirdly varying levels of bad-assery (potentially explainable by her varying levels of self-esteem though?) and Shrek's apparently reliving the same exact character arc in every movie. But then, I guess we all know people IRL who never really change or grow that much, either... 🤦🏻♀️
I'm a Viking reenactor and within the group I'm part of we figured out a way to make authentic Viking age Shrek kit. I took up this task with glorious purpose and have made a brown wool jerkin (since leather is not suitable for such garments, and it's based on wool fragments from Hedeby) and will be making hose in order to make this early medieval ogre into a reality
Now THAT is a cross-over I didn't know I needed, but love!! 😂 Very cool to see people both being serious about historical Costuming AND having the maximum amount of silly fun with it 😁
This was an unexpected topic, but you served it well! The costumes really do give an air of "high school play". I always thought Shrek's vest was made from gator skin, hence the texture. Maybe it was his when he was younger, and he kept wearing it despite his body growing. Stylistically it helps emphasize his large, onion-shaped belly, too.
It also made me wonder if it might be a bit of a nod to the short vest or jacket of Renaissance Scotland, given that Meyers is doing the Scots (ish) accent?
The armour of the Duloc Knights in the first Shrek movie is also actually a pretty good fit for the 15th century, a lot of it seems to be inspired by german gothic plate, you also get a lot of sallets.
this video was great, im definitely sending to so many of my friends, but hearing "pixarized" about pib 2 was so sad bestie 😭 the movie is definitely sony animation inspired, like spiderverse and mitchells v the machines 😭

well I’m talking mostly about character designs here, faces just scream Pixar to me 😩
I rewatched the first two Shrek movies recently and was curious about the historical accuracy of the clothing so this truly was exactly what I needed hahaha
“It’s just not doing it for me. It’s giving Spirit. It’s giving Wish.” 😆😆😆😆 Jeez, Karolina. I mean I agree, but don’t have to come for the artist’s existence 😆
I seem to remember seeing Mike Myers on a talk show saying he had a Scottish driver during the filming tell him, "I heard your accent, Michael, and you sound like crap!"😂
I'd argue that Puss In Boots: The Last Wish's animation style takes a lot of its inspiration from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, which is a Sony property NOT a Disney/Pixar property. I personally really like the new animation style because it reminds me more of a painting, but that's just my opinion.
Lol the red carpet reporter was just Joan Rivers, so her outfit looked like some of Joan Rivers more iconic 80s and 90s fits Edit: Thanks for sacrificing yourself for our entertainment, Karolina!
1:18 in one of the movies Fiona's father complained about an old crusade wound acting up so it could be after the 15th century (or 1291 if we assume he was talking about the crusades to Jerusalem if Jerusalem even exists in the Shrek universe) there was also an anti-ottoman "crusade" which ended around 1699 so it could be 17th or even 18th century
Puss in Boots was added as a Latin/Hispanic character. It didn't dawn on me that other cultures wouldn't be aware that Puss in Boots is based off his voice actor's former role. Antonio Banderas played Zorro in 1998. Zorro would draw a 'Z' with a sword the same way Puss in Boots drew a 'P' into the tree in Shrek 2. [Edited: 6:06 timestamp]
There's nothing latino about Puss in Boots lmao?? Did you not hear his accent? Antonio Banderas is Spanish af too so not sure where your confidence comes from.
I'm kind of surprised how historically cohesive and somewhat accurate the costumes are; especially since everything else in the movies are so anachronistic
I HAVE NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO FASTER 😍 I’m a huge Shrek fan, but I also love studying historical fashion, so I’ve been dying for a video like this analyzing the ✨absolutely iconic✨looks from this series. Thank you so much Karolina!
you know, the Shrek universe as a bunch of time-travelers would be an interesting lore theory lol. Real Renaissance fashion mixed with Party City costumes, etc.
Yeah I saw much Shrek as my daughter grew up. I asked her if she was embarrassed to be named Fiona because of it cause you know, troll, and she said no she loved it Everyone did call her princess Fiona. Like in her head "I AM A PRINCESS " really took root for her. Actually as an adult she actually looks like princess Fiona only short hair. Sometimes she has alopecia but.... As a kid I found this little head band with a middle ages kinda headdress with built in braids. She was princess Fiona. That was her hat while she had alopecia as a little kid. I forgot about that.
That lollipop kid's doublet seems like it might be unintentionally like the late-17th century bolero-style doublets when they were shrinking upwards so that the white linen shirt could hang out (this is my fav early modern menswear period bc its such a wild transitional period between the doublet and suit) but then why deprive us of petticoat breeches and John Evelyn's "as much Ribbon on him as would have plundered six shops"?
Fiona's wedding dress from Shrek 2 is one of my favorite dresses EVER!! the BEADS>>> cmon you have to admit that it's amazing, showstopping and incredible.
OMG, I never knew how much I needed this ranking list for the fashion in Shrek until I got the notification! Great way to start off another Monday, and I can't wait to see what you have to say for Fairy Godmother 🥰
Shrek, the original book, is a Jewish book. I chose to believe that the vest is a nod to later forced-dress wool hats Jews were made to wear in Eastern Europe, where Shrek's author's parents are from.
I don't see it. How do you get from a hat to a vest? To me it looks like a sheepskin sort of protection. Ogres are usually depicted swinging clubs. Shoulder padding would be a resting place for a club. From a medieval pov, and one who's carried heavy objects on their shoulders knows how it can dig in and bruise, cutting off circulation and causing neck pain. But a hat morphing into a vest? On an ogre. That's some stretch.
This makes me wonder, what would the Polish equivalent of a Scottish accent be? Is there a dialect that would fit the same vibe?? Kashubian? Idk 🤷🏻♂️ Edit: I cannot finish this comment without shouting out the real star of this show, Meme Mom's green earrings 🥰💚
Stereotypically it'd be wither Podlasie or Śląsk, but you have to remember Polish cinema doesn't do accents nearly to the extent English or US does, so I think it's overall a better idea to have Zamachowski speak naturally instead of a forced or fake accent (plus we kind of get Kraków/ Małopolska with Stuhr anyway :D).
Totally. I personally preferred the dubs without forced accents that still however retained the personality of the characters (Minsc from Baldur’s Gate being another character). It is not that strong accents do not exist, it is just that I always feel USA media is weird about them, and anything appearing ‘foreign’ to them in general
There's definitely dialects when it comes to translating accents in other languages....for example in Italian goldilocks and her family had an abruzzese accent that's from Abruzzo, in South Italy - to be more specific near Puglia. Forgive me i don't know if you understand italian geography 😂
I like the fact that you did a deep dive on the historical accuracy of a fictional work based on other fictional works 😆 Also, I had no idea that Shrek was supposed to be Scottish - I just always thought that he had an american accent!
Have you tried reviewing The Swan Princess? Not the ballet, there was a series of animated features made in the 90's, the first one being in 1994, i think. I'd really like your opinion on it.
Karolina I love this video and also I live for the earrings and blouse you are wearing being so Shrek themed and fashionable at the same time! Masterpieces within the masterpiece. ❤
I personally really love the animation style for the new puss in boots movie and it doesn't really look like anything pixar has done i think it took inspiration from Spiderverse
"... made for a human, not made from a human." Ha ha ha ha ha! Wonderful. Your new blue wallpaper makes a fine backdrop. Good to see you again. I love your work and your style. Best wishes and thank you.
All Critics: "Puss in Boots 2's animation shows a further trend in the animation industry to move away from the estetic Pixar established for the industry and seems incapable of moving away from. We are about to enter an era where DreamWorks looks better than Pixar!" Karolina: "The new Puss in Boots just looks so Pixar"
@@jeyyran It looks more like the new wave of animation, that Sony started with Spider-verse and also used in Michaels against the Machines. Which is very different to anything Pixar has ever done.
I notice a sever lack of attention given to Donkey's period accurate fashion sense. He is never contrasted against the setting, other characters, or what a donkey's fit would have been in any of the periods. aSS tier

Like in her head "I AM A PRINCESS " really took root for her.
Actually as an adult she actually looks like princess Fiona only short hair.
Sometimes she has alopecia but.... As a kid I found this little head band with a middle ages kinda headdress with built in braids.
She was princess Fiona.
That was her hat while she had alopecia as a little kid.
I forgot about that.
The hero we need, not the hero we deserve 🙌 This was amazing 😂
"The new Puss in Boots just looks so Pixar"
As an animation nerd, I very strongly disagree, but go off I guess.
That lollipop kid's doublet seems like it might be unintentionally like the late-17th century bolero-style doublets when they were shrinking upwards so that the white linen shirt could hang out (this is my fav early modern menswear period bc its such a wild transitional period between the doublet and suit) but then why deprive us of petticoat breeches and John Evelyn's "as much Ribbon on him as would have plundered six shops"?
As an animation student, this is really fun to watch! I would even say it's... educational 😂😂
Shrek far far away idol is my favourite period piece ❤️
love the "greenish" fit. such a nice detail
Fiona's wedding dress from Shrek 2 is one of my favorite dresses EVER!! the BEADS>>> cmon you have to admit that it's amazing, showstopping and incredible.
This is the crossover of two passions which I did not EVER see coming. Now it’s here i will think of nothing else.
OMG, I never knew how much I needed this ranking list for the fashion in Shrek until I got the notification! Great way to start off another Monday, and I can't wait to see what you have to say for Fairy Godmother 🥰
Shrek, the original book, is a Jewish book. I chose to believe that the vest is a nod to later forced-dress wool hats Jews were made to wear in Eastern Europe, where Shrek's author's parents are from.
No
@@fritzsmith7148 u smell
It spunds like a stretch but maybe you're right?
@@alexf225 i'm not being 100% serious, I just love the fact Shrek is Jewish. Honestly, he's the best Jewish representation and i love him
I don't see it. How do you get from a hat to a vest? To me it looks like a sheepskin sort of protection. Ogres are usually depicted swinging clubs. Shoulder padding would be a resting place for a club. From a medieval pov, and one who's carried heavy objects on their shoulders knows how it can dig in and bruise, cutting off circulation and causing neck pain. But a hat morphing into a vest? On an ogre. That's some stretch.
This makes me wonder, what would the Polish equivalent of a Scottish accent be? Is there a dialect that would fit the same vibe?? Kashubian? Idk 🤷🏻♂️
Edit: I cannot finish this comment without shouting out the real star of this show, Meme Mom's green earrings 🥰💚
I'm thinking Podlaskie
I was thinking the green earrings match the colour of Shrek.
Stereotypically it'd be wither Podlasie or Śląsk, but you have to remember Polish cinema doesn't do accents nearly to the extent English or US does, so I think it's overall a better idea to have Zamachowski speak naturally instead of a forced or fake accent (plus we kind of get Kraków/ Małopolska with Stuhr anyway :D).
Totally. I personally preferred the dubs without forced accents that still however retained the personality of the characters (Minsc from Baldur’s Gate being another character). It is not that strong accents do not exist, it is just that I always feel USA media is weird about them, and anything appearing ‘foreign’ to them in general
There's definitely dialects when it comes to translating accents in other languages....for example in Italian goldilocks and her family had an abruzzese accent that's from Abruzzo, in South Italy - to be more specific near Puglia. Forgive me i don't know if you understand italian geography 😂
Miłego oglądania spokojnego wieczoru wszystkim 😊😊😊
I'd love to see you spot trends in tech based in what you can see in the colors, textures, etc
Feline fashion is a different CAT-egory 🤣🤣
This is so unintentionally funny because we can SEE how this peeled away at your sanity
shrek, a cinematic masterpiece
I like the fact that you did a deep dive on the historical accuracy of a fictional work based on other fictional works 😆
Also, I had no idea that Shrek was supposed to be Scottish - I just always thought that he had an american accent!
Have you tried reviewing The Swan Princess? Not the ballet, there was a series of animated features made in the 90's, the first one being in 1994, i think. I'd really like your opinion on it.
I second this. This movie is unironically my favorite movie. It is a perfect 7/10 movie.
Last Wish was Spider-verse-ized more than Pixar-ized to me
this is the only Shrek tier list that Shrek the Third will ever be higher than Shrek 2 or The Last Wish
Karolina I love this video and also I live for the earrings and blouse you are wearing being so Shrek themed and fashionable at the same time! Masterpieces within the masterpiece. ❤
I personally really love the animation style for the new puss in boots movie and it doesn't really look like anything pixar has done i think it took inspiration from Spiderverse
The musical stinger of I just ruined your life was amazing.
knew isntantly i had to drop everything and watch this
"We are not reviewing fun here." What a quote!
Has an echo of "Ennis, girls don't fall in love with fun" line from Brokeback Mountain.
*Meme Mother HAS ARRIVED*
I’m going to say that Queen Lillian is the OG and I love her outfit.
"... made for a human, not made from a human." Ha ha ha ha ha! Wonderful.
Your new blue wallpaper makes a fine backdrop.
Good to see you again. I love your work and your style. Best wishes and thank you.
We appreciate the Shrek-green earrings detail.
All Critics: "Puss in Boots 2's animation shows a further trend in the animation industry to move away from the estetic Pixar established for the industry and seems incapable of moving away from. We are about to enter an era where DreamWorks looks better than Pixar!"
Karolina: "The new Puss in Boots just looks so Pixar"
it really does tho!
@@jeyyran It looks more like the new wave of animation, that Sony started with Spider-verse and also used in Michaels against the Machines. Which is very different to anything Pixar has ever done.
"Look, I may be unhinged"
"...but?"
"but what"
I clicked so fast, this needed to be analyzed. 😆 Thank you for giving these masterpieces the attention they deserve!!! 😭
"Nothing to do with Renaissance; everything to do with...Slaying to the Max."
I missed these "rating the historical accuracy" videos!
i almost lost it at the harmonized "i just ruined your life!"
Thank you for your contribution to the ever growing ecosystem of content and research into the Shrek movies and their subsequent cultural impact 🙏
you're so incredibly thorough and ambitious, truly no video idea makes you shrek back
loved the video, thanks
I notice a sever lack of attention given to Donkey's period accurate fashion sense. He is never contrasted against the setting, other characters, or what a donkey's fit would have been in any of the periods. aSS tier
I love that you went with a Shrek-green outfit for the video. Chef's kiss.
it definitely isn't Pixar-ized, I think its Spiderverse-ized? Sony picture-ized?
She didn’t have to commit so hard, but she did it for us. 😭💕
