Badd Medicine here and its Shrek reaction time
Once upon a time, in a faraway swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek (Mike Myers) whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters. They were all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow). Determined to save their home -- not to mention his -- Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) to be Farquaad's bride. Rescuing the Princess may be small compared to her deep, dark secret. The film stars Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, and John Lithgow. In the film, an embittered ogre named Shrek (Myers) finds his home in the swamp overrun by fairy tale creatures banished by the obsessive ruler Lord Farquaad (Lithgow). With the help of Donkey (Murphy), Shrek makes a pact with Farquaad to rescue Princess Fiona (Diaz) in exchange for regaining control of his swamp

This was a good choice to cleanse the pallet after that previous episode of Chernobyl 😅
Also Shrek is rumored to have been based off the appearance of French wrestler Maurice Tillet. Which is kinda unfortunate. He’s an odd looking fellow I’ll say that
Lord Farquad's name is a dirty joke. Say it with a more Scottish accent and it sounds like Lord F***wad.
.
I love the Shrek movies! There's 4! I hope that you all watch All 4! 😁👍🏻
Shrek 2 is a top sequel in cinematic history, Shrek 2 is PHENOMENAL
Hmmmm I’d argue how to train your dragon is way better even Kung fu panda 2
@@nshippudennaruto2814incorrect
Factual
Shrek 2 imo is in an elite category of a sequel contending with the original, most sequels are garbage compared to the original
@@nshippudennaruto2814shrek 2 is better than those. Also kung fu panda 1 is the best kung fu panda movie.
Crazy to think DreamWorks expected this movie would fail, it ended up becoming their biggest franchise. 😂
Tells you a lot on how your usual execs at a company are too busy focusing on spreadsheets and shareholders to actually care to know what their target likes and love.
Reminds me of how disney didn't do a lot of marketing for Encanto, but it became such a hit.
@@cniknik9863I loved the colors in that movie. Absolutely breathtaking every scene.
@@nokta7373 That's just what happens sometimes in many art industries. Many most famous paintings by artists are their hated ones. Same with music artists. The important part is that they were willing to take the risk and find out. If what you said was true the movie would've never come out in the first place.
It was considered a punishment at DreamWorks to be assigned to Shrek.
"Although she lives with 7 other men...she's not easy."
there's so many good jokes in Shrek 😂
I don’t recall the mature jokes from that scene 💀
The saddest part is when the baby bear ask where his momma is. Then later you see her as a rug on the floor.
I actually for the longest time never noticed that and then when I put it together I was like wow that’s ballsy for a kids film.
I can’t believe I didn’t even notice that…
Wait weren't his parents in another cage
@@EughhBrothereughh yeah, and then you see the dad and kid at shrek's swamp and then the next time you see the mom's she's a rug
Wasn't she at the dance party? I thought I saw her there
Whenever my husband ignores me i start singing "im all alooone, theres no one here besiiiiide meeee"
😂😂😂😂that's hilarious
I think almost every line in this movie is quoteable.
Funnily enough, my Husky does exactly the same thing!
;-)
I do exactly the same to my husband! How funny!
SHSHDJ THAT’S ADORABLE LMAO
The delivery of "He huffed und he puffed and he... signed the expulsion order" always kills me, it's such a fun German accent XD
Eviction notice
Which is funny considering it’s an English fairy tale
lol I was gonna say he said he “signed an eviction notice” not expulsion order lmfao
I have the DVD In the main menu, when you highlight the "Play" option, one of the piggy's will say in their accent "Play the movie. Yah! Play"
I‘m German. I didn’t even notice until Mason said it. Wasn’t a good imitation then…
"I'm supposed to be beautiful.." "You are..." Gets me every single time. A beautiful message ♥
As the saying goes - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.... not the floating creepy eye-monster thing from D&D, but the one that observes is the only one that can say if something is beautiful or not. _)
Its rare when sequels do better than the first film, and Shrek 2 is THE BEST of the franchise. SO funny. Full of so many references. One of the hypest climaxes to any movie ive seen. Stellar animation. Cant wait for you guys to watch :)
Don't forget, it contains 2 of the BEST covers of I Need a Hero ever made.
@@rayrayl.4087 half the reason that climax is so hype lmao
Does Puss in Boots count in the franchise? Because The Last Wish EASILY became my favorite from the Shrek universe. Actually it's my second favorite DreamWorks film!
@@my5head Last Wish was incredible!! I did not like the first Puss in Boots at all. Top 3 Dreamworks film for sure.
Shrek was the movie you were sent to work on if you upset the team at DreamWorks. They thought this movie would flop astronomically bad, that people were sent to work on it as a punishment. I forget the movie they were working on while making Shrek, but whatever movie it was didn't do nearly as well as they had hoped. So the roles were flipped.
I find that hilarious.
Yah that really is an interesting fact about this movie and makes you question what other movies have just been cancels by the company.
I believe the movie was prince of Egypt
iirc it was The Prince of Egypt they were working on!
@@maggs368which is a movie i want badd medicine to react on!!
Seriously!? Wow didn't know that
Donkey going off about parfaits always cracks me the hell up!
Everybody love Parfait!
"That is a nice boulder" is probably my favorite!
“And in the morning, I’m makin’ waffles!” was a common weekend phrase when my kids were little ❤️
And me and my siblings would say this to each other on the weekends.
Damn they didn’t add one of the funniest moments 😢”now some of you may die….but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to take”. 😂😂like bruh
The Oak singing Alleluia just made my day!!😂❤
Whoever edited this and left the whole thing in I’m dead
Mike Myers did the entire movie in a regular voice and it just didn't work. He asked the producers if he could try again and he did it with the Scottish accent this time. It worked.
Oak jamming to Hallelujah is ALL of us, lol.
the oak enjoying himself with that hallelujah, dont blame him though😂😂
We had no business watching this as kids lol😂 every good joke went over our heads lol. This is an amazing favorite of the people!
That's what made old movies so good. This was an art. Movies made for everyone; adults and children.
Kids movies with hidden adult jokes are the best, we can all enjoy them!
That's whats great because it's like a new experience when rewatching movies like this
I think the jokes were well done though in Shrek.
I love the film, but Puss in Boots the last wish had an example of a bad adult joke, where it's just censored with bleeps. Not very clever imo.
The 2nd movie was my daughter's favorite when she was a toddler
You know what's really amazing about "Shrek"? The story basically has all the elements of "Dark Romance" of which there are five. (1) The male love interest is the "bad guy" - Shrek is an outcast, not accepted by society, scares off villagers etc. (2) The male protagonist follows his own moral code, which differs from the norm (and would even be considered as criminal or abnormal) and mostly does so in hiding - well, yes, that's what Shrek does in his swamp, from the perspective of the fictional society in the story. (3) The female protagonist is in a position without real power - Fiona is kept in a tower and needs to be rescued. (4) There is an element of taboo - according to Dulocs norms and moral code, a princess and an orge could never be together. (5) The conflict is resolved by one or both protagonists changing fundamentally, and the power imbalance from the beginning has vanished.
It works so well because from Fionas perspective, only Shrek can truly understand her. From Shreks perspective: Only with Fiona he can truly be himself.
I love all you guys' reactions, but there's just something so absolutely wholesome to see a guy like The Oak, built like a brick shithouse, giggling in delight while watching a kids movie.
Can't wait for you guys to do Shrek 2.
Something a lot of people don't know is Shrek was originally voiced by Chris Farley but he died close to completion. They had to shelve the movie and ended up completely scrapping the original movie. They put Shrek on the backburner and looked for somebody to replace Chris Farley. Mike Myers came about and they decided he was a good fit but they realized they had to completely reanimate the movie and they decided to completely rewrite the story as well. The Shrek we got has barely any resemblance to the original that was scrapped. Everything from the character design to the story was completely redone. They ended up putting their animators that worked on movies that flopped on Shrek since Dreamworks thought it would be a total flop and they called it getting Shreked. To their surprise Shrek was a huge hit and it became one of the most beloved animated movies of all time. Its ironic because Dreamworks judged their movie before it even had its moment. And Lord Farquaad was actually based on their former boss who fired them from Disney Duloc was meant to be Disney world.
So many jokes for the adults in this franchise that i missed as a kid 😂 classic!
This was the first movie I ever watched in a movie theater :,) I was two years old. My mom tells me all the time how it’s one of her favorite memories. She tells me how she purposely walked behind me so she could watch two year old me holding my kids popcorn and candy bar and walking into a theater for the first time. She still has the ticket stub…if you couldn’t tell, she’s extremely sentimental
This is so sweet ❤
I love ur mom, she’s so me 💔💔💔💔
Fun Fact: Andrew Adamson - the director of Shrek 1 and 2 - is also the director of Narnia 1 and 2.
Good discography.
That makes a lot of sense. No wonder their sequels are better and if not just as good!
"Do you know the muffin man?" Has to be my all time fav ever movie scene
OMG YES
the muffin man??
@@alwaysstayclassy.forever ye think I meant the second movie not the first
Do you know the muffin man the muffin the muffin yes I know the muffin man the muffin the muffin man
@@alwaysstayclassy.foreverTHE MUFFIN MAN!
Shrek and donkey, AKA one of the most iconic animated duos, if not one of the most iconic duos overall ever made! 💚
Did you just say the same thing twice? I do agree. When I think of iconic animated duos, Shrek and Donkey are one of the first ones that come to mind.
John Lithgow was a perfect casting choice for this film. I love all the dark humour in this. I shouldn't laugh at the mama bear or the mama bird with the eggs but I do every time.
Hallelujah is a beautiful song with so many amazing covers! I recommend the Pentatonix and Jeff Buckley versions
Nah, nothing beats the original.
Oh the Pentatonix are fantastic. There are more than a few covers of theirs that are better than the originals.
Nice catch on the Mama Bear rug 🤣
The Donkey character is one of the kids in Pinocchio who gets turned into a donkey but still can talk. And then, for this movie, they grew up the character! Which is hilarious and makes sense with hows he acts, still like a kid 😅
All this time, i never actually caught that about donkey.
Isn’t Donkey from the fairytale The Musicians of Bremen, where a bunch of talking animals- donkey included- form a band after their owners all try to get rid of them? That’s why the old woman is trying to sell Donkey in the beginning, because that’s how the story starts.
22:56 when Oak did the face perfectly. I’m dead 😂😂😂
Oak looks kinda like Shrek
The song " All Star" by Smash Mouth was released in 1999 , 2 years before this movie was released.The filmmakers just used it for this movie.
You can’t just use a song you need permission so they obviously brought Smash Mouth on and showed them what they were working on and they agreed to let them use their song.
I know that. That's what I meant.@@ryans413
@@ryans413Or like any other song in a movie, they just bought the rights to use it.
I thought so! I was like “there’s no way this song was made specifically for this movie” I remember but from before this came out. That’s what was great about them using it. It was already amazing.
@@Jesse-yi2kmYou still need permission to use a song. Apparently smash mouth weren’t originally going to license the song to them, but they were shown an early screening and allowed for the song to be used. Most times the owners of the song are approached and offered a fee, but they don’t always accept it. For example, Robert plant (led zeppelin) was always very decisive about when he allowed songs to be used in media and often said no. However he did allow for school of rock to use one of their songs after Jack black made a video trying to convince him.
This movie is like onions. So many layers for all ages to enjoy. It was lightning in a bottle, few animations have come close in pleasing all viewers. The depth of detail pleases me. Little things like the frosting stiches on Gingerbread Man. 🙂
Rest in peace
Chris Farley 1964-1997
Kathleen freeman 1923-2001
William Steig 1907-2003
Roger Ebert 1942-2013
Richard Schickel 1933-2017
and Kelly Asbury 1960-2020, Chris Farley was initially hired to voice Shrek, and he had recorded nearly all of the dialogue for the character, but died before completing the project, according to David Spade on an episode of the podcast Bad Friends, Farley only had 5 days left of voice work and Farley’s brother John was asked if he would come in and finish his lines but John refused, a story reel featuring a sample of Farley’s recorded dialogue was leaked to the public in August 2015, DreamWorks then re cast the voice role to Mike Myers, who insisted on a complete script rewrite, to leave no traces of Farley’s version of Shrek, according to Myers, he wanted to voice the character for two reasons: I wanted the opportunity to work with Jeffrey Katzenberg and the book is a great story about accepting yourself for who you are
Farley's version would have been fantastic!
I wish you put beside them what each did to help others understand them all
It´s hilarious that John Lithgow, who is 6′ 4″ tall, voiced Lord Farquaad. Like when you let Warwick Davis or Danny DeVito voice Lurch from Adams Family or Sasquatch. 😂
Oak singing along with Hallelujah actually made my week so thank you for being you. Loved seeing this pop up but couldnt believe anyone could have NOT seen it! It was a joy to revisit with my three favorite reactors - and made me feel the passage of time keenly. 23 years ago!?!? Wth.
Oh you will love this franchise for sure!! Shrek is iconic in so many ways!
The word of mouth was STRONG in this one. It was one of the few movies that made MORE its second weekend than the first when it initially released. Such classic hilarity.
If you know Spanish, that's a great way to rewatch this movie. It's equally and some parts better because they changed a some parts to cater to the Spanish speaking audience. The humor in both languages are amazing 👏
Once this movie premiered, a whole new culture was born. 💚
Fun fact : Lord Farquad's design was partially inspired by Prince Humperdink from The Princess Bride.
Shrek in spanish (Latinoamerican sp.) is the absolute best, most hilarious thing I've ever seen 😂❤
In potuguese (brazil) it's also super super funny
the spanish dub of this movie is legendary
Shrek was the second film I ever saw in a theater. I was 7 years old when one of my cousins took me to go see it. A lot of the jokes flew over my head as a kid 😂❤
Shrek wasn’t originally supposed to be Scottish. Mike Myers (voice of Shrek) felt that ogres represented the working people, so Myers first did the recordings in a Canadian accent and giving his own background as a working person, but after considering that all the other fairy tale creatures are Eurocentric he decided to drop the Canadian accent and asked the recording to be redone with a Scottish accent.
I always assumed it was his background as son of a northern English man, which steered him in that direction, since there are similarities in those accents
And he has Scottish ancestry
I see people mentioning that the Spanish (latin american) is the best and they change things but one part they change is that in English when Farquaad is interrogating the Gingerbread man he gets "Do you know the muffin man?" but in that Spanish version he gets asked if he knows Pinpon, referring to a nursery rhyme about a toy doll.
I also watched Shrek in Spanish class and was the only native Spanish speaker so everyone else was confused why the movie wasn't directly translated to "panadero" (baker) or something similar and even the teacher didn't know of this little rhyme I grew up with :)
When Donkey asks for Shrek's name at the beginning of the movie he stops to think about it. It was the first time someone asked for his name so he was not sure (at least that's a theory i saw somewhere but i think it fits)
No. he was just taken aback that someone asked
I knew Oak would crack up as soon as the opening song started playing 😂 classic meme
Please watch Anastasia! DreamWorks killed it with that movie ❤ it's one of my favorites
Oak singing along to Hallelujah is what I live for
Skrek's entire plot is about not judging people by their looks while simultaneously ripping into Farquaad for his height.
And for being a fark wad...
It's about not judging someone's character by their looks, they ripped on fuckwad because he was an insecure asshole.
I remember I started watching this channel around a year ago, and Oak is right, I definitely judged you guys by your appearance at first and I shouldn't have. I don't remember what video it was but it was among recommendations on the right so I clicked on it and didn't really expect anything as I was going through several channels. I saw some tough-looking guys and was just hoping you wouldn't mock whatever movie you were reacting to, but I was really pleasantly surprised by how sensitive you guys were and how you reflected on the lessons in the movie, the goodconstructive comments you had about it, etc. I have watched pretty much ever reaction since, and those that came out before I started watching you too. It's true that we should never judge a book by its cover and I'm so glad I found you guys!
SHREK IS LOVE
SHREK IS LIFE
Absolutely timeless classic. The sequels are a must-watch too. Nothing beats the original, but as far as series go, this one is pretty great.
I was only 9 years old…..
I loved Shrek so much …..
I had all the merchandise and movies.
*That's the moon*
Still gets me 24 years later
Oak singing is the most wholesome thing I’ve seen yet 😂
Now that the Shrek films are being watched on the channel, y’all should also watch the two Puss In Boots movies, highly recommend!
Mike myers and Eddie Murphy ate legends in comedy especially Eddie. You all will love part 2!!
David spade said Chris Farley was only 5 days away from completing voicing this movie. Chris Farleys brother was supposed to help with finishing the lines but was so distraught to do it. So that’s when they moved onto Mike Myers. There is footage of the Chris Farley voiced version. Super interesting!
Fun fact Dreamworks sent animators that didnt live up to expectations working on Prince of Egypt to go work on Shrek as a punishment. Prince of Egypt, while a great movie in its own right, was the story of Moses and didnt draw a big audience so it was considered a flop. So its pretty ironic that Shrek turned into a huge thing when it wasn't something the studio held in high regard.
Not forgetting Cameron Diaz and John Lithgow who also kill it in this. Can't wait for Shrek 2, in my opinion, the ending sequence of Shrek 2 is one of the best ending sequences in animated Cinema history.
I literally can’t wait for shrek 2 it’s literally my favorite out of all of them but this is such a fun introduction to all the characters these movies filed my childhood.
Idk why but the part where the dwarves are pushing the case back and forth always made me laugh
I say in my head “That’ll do donkey, that’ll do” in his EXACT accent almost every day
I’m so happy Answer brought up ‘So I Married An Axe Murderer’! Probably my favorite Mike Myers movie, but so underrated!
The line "That'll do donkey. That'll do" after they cross the rope bridge, is from the film 'Babe", where the farmer says"That'll do pig. That'll do"
Don’t forget to include I AM LEGEND😉 Will Smith’s Donkey monologue is perfection.
I love how at 17:07, the dragon went from about to kiss an ass, to instead kissing an ass. Very clever joke lol
Love the new "FIRST TIME WATCHING/SEEN IT" signs
Yeah! I hope we get all the way through these movies and the musical! It's all so great!
the oak singing halleloja was awesome!!
I remember getting this on VHS for my 9th birthday and watching it with no expectations. One of the best gifts ever lol. 💚
"All Star" was used most popularly in Shrek but it wasn't specifically made for it, it was made 2 years before Shrek.
That song was also used in a old movie about a race to money (the actor of Mr bean is also on it) it was a great movie as well and smash mouth shows up on it as well
@@dlrab6351 "Rat Race" was an entertaining movie.
I havent seen anyone mention this yet but DreamWorks was also working on Prince of Egypt at the same time. If they got kicked off the Prince of Egypt they moved to Shrek. They called it "getting Shreked"
Oof. I def felt guilty when you discussed being judged as meatheads 😬 I think my initial love for your channel was the surprise that I was so wrong and have loved watching you get so needy about so many of my fav properties.
A neat story related to Donkey:
I went to Ringling for illustration from '03-'07, and at the time they were the top school in the country for computer animation. My roommate was a CA major, so I saw her homework assignments all the time.
Back then, you had to create a skeleton by hand in Maya before attaching the animation points to the character model in order to animate it, and the process of creating that skeleton was tedious.
The summer before I graduated, one of the rising CA seniors actually programmed a button for Maya that _automatically generated a skeleton._ Once the school year started up again and word got out that this dude was basically a programming sorcerer to do that, he was INUNDATED with job offers. Multiple big animation studios were fighting over him and trying to one-up each other.
Then DreamWorks told him "If you come and work for us, you can HAVE Donkey in the next Shrek film!" (Meaning he could be the lead animator for the character.)
He went with DreamWorks. lol
I’ve always loved that the villain’s name is literally
*Lord Fuck-Wad* in an exaggerated British accent 😂
The old saying will always go skrek is love shrek is life
Best part is they did this in a way that kids could watch it even though it’s very much intended for an older audience. Same for the others.
There is a theory that Donkey can talk because he is one of the boys from Pinocchio who turned into donkeys.
Mike Myers’s allegedly filmed the whole movie (or most of it) in a normal accent. He hated it and thought something was missing. And then later on asked if he could make shrek Scottish . So they have to re-do ALL his lines in the Scottish accent. And that’s why we have the shrek we have today. Due to Mike Myers’s genius.
I love that they went with the name Farquaad, because if you say it fast enough it sounds like F**kwad.
I read that as F**kward (like effing awkward) 😅
Never judge people by their looks indeed.
Many years ago I was afraid buff men being mean or bullies, but when I start going out for walks they were pretty supportive and wellcoming even when I am a big fat dude. You guys remember me these kind people, you got the superhero heart.
I'm guessing more than a couple of those guys were once bigger dudes who, over time, became buff riposaurs.
You guys should watch Ice Age - lots of fun and hits hard.
Notice how Shrek, a green ogre tries to cover himself with human clothes, and fionna, covers herself in a green dress🙃
I was absolutely shocked that this was a first time (full) watch for Mason and Oak, but absolutely delighted too, it's such a joy to get to experience these movies with you guys! And a movie like Shrek with its awesome messages and delivery, I knew Oak would dive deep into them, which is honestly one of my favorite parts of your reaction videos. I think you all truly embody that message about not judging before you get to know someone: you are funny, insightful, and courageously vunerable at times, and if people judge you based on your looks, they are the ones missing out. I first started watching your channel during your A:TLA reactions, and I was intrigued because it wasn't what I was expecting. I appreciated that Oak and Mason approached the show with open minds, not letting the fact that it was a "kid's show" stop you from giving it a chance. I think it is beautiful what you guys are doing, watching animated (as well as non-animated) movies and shows without judgement, and sharing your genuine enjoyment with these stories. Being strong does not always mean being stoic and hiding your emotions, you all show that in your genuine, honest, heartfelt reactions, and I so admire all of you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us.
Also, I immediately had to give this a thumbs up when Oak started sing along to Hallelujah. Such a beautiful song!!
This movie was crafted to be the antithesis to Disney movies, with the obvious parody of fairy tales. The tone of the movie also served as a commentary on Disney movies at the time, with the for-adults-only jokes sprinkled without, being a contrast to the squeacky clean image of Disney. Of course, things have come full circle and now that kind of tone is kind of the norm.
Also, absolutely do watch Shrek 2!! It is really good!!
My teenage cousin brought this to our house for our family's Christmas party to watch after dinner. All of us, my sister and I as kids, Aunts, Uncles, our older cousins, all sat down to watch it together and all of us laughing our heads off, we'd never seen an animated movie like Shrek before! Such a wonderful core memory for me 😊 Can't wait to see you watch the rest of the Shrek series!
22:31 The Princess just murdered an entire family of birds. Blew up the parent and cooked the kids lmao
Used to live on a farm, that's basically breakfast and dinner.
Shrek set the bar when it came to sliding winks to the adult audiene. I made friends at the theatre from other parents literature laughing to tears!! We were resigned to another kid movie. Little did we know we would be So Entertained along with our toddlers!! 23 years later, my kids and I still use the lines from Shrek series and so many more to communicate! My grandkids were brought up on The Looney Tunes original series and Dreamworks & Pixar! Also LOTR, Star Tek and Star Wars
Thumbs up for the "First time watching" and "Seen it" overlay at the beginning. More reaction channels need this, and having it visual is especially useful.
I had no idea of the level of adult humour in this film, only watched it when I was a kid. So damn good
32:09-32:11 The first time I’ve heard someone say they don’t know “Hallelujah”
Surprised Oak hasn't seen it. Shrek at the time was a big slap in the face of disney, which always had their perfect pretty (and usually white/blond) princesses find a man to fix everything and finding a magical way to look pretty for a guy they just met. It started an avalanche of movies trying to capture the same thing, and many Disney movies after scrambled to make things as progressive, with Frozen being a big change from the usual (and then the big hit it became as well). This movie was also a pioneer in lots of grownup jokes that would go over the kids heads, but make it as a fun for the parents seeing it.
What slap in the face? Disney and subsequently Disney princesses are still the head drivers of most cinema and film. They are unmovable characters and storyline that are still most popular today. Take, for example, the constant remakes, centred mainly on the original princesses, Frozen had a romance element in it too, it's popularity based on its musical element rather than quality of storyline in the film, afterwhich you will see other movies such as moana, which wasn't bad just didn't have anything stand out, and the disaster of raya and the last dragon which all strayed away from originality of good villians , in depth main characters, who were both interesting and appealing, likeable princess, likeable prince, outstanding side characters, interesting world design and mainly STORY. The thing about shrek is that it was mocking these fairytale tropes beyond Disney, all fairytales, therefore being a satire movie, which at its core has the main elements of a fundamental fairytale.
@@deadahead7996 Umm. No. Shrek is a known satire and jab at Disney because the guy who heads Dreamworks got snubbed and fired by Disney. Google is your friend. There are a multitude of articles about it. And no, Disney ended up buying Shrek for 10 billion dollars... Try not to get your love for something to blind you to it's circumstance.
They bought Shrek for more than their top 5 movie revenues combined. Actually they bought Shrek for more than Disney had made in animation for the past 10 years combined. That's how big the SLAP on Disney's face was. You are also out of touch with kids if you think they are "unmovable", many don't even know stories like Snow White, where a woman is unconscious and kissed by a stranger... or Sleeping beauty... where a woman is unconscious and kissed again... or Beauty & The Beast, where a woman is kidnapped and falls in love with her kidnapper Stockholm style... or... yeah no. Many of those stories aren't even told to kids these days cuz they didn't age well. You can look up several articles as to why they're obscure to children these days + toys/merch from things like tangled, shrek, frozen (where they mock falling in love at first sight and a guy's kiss saving the day) sell way more.
For context:
1 'Frozen II' (2019) Box Office: $1.45 billion.
2 'Frozen' (2013) Box Office: $1.28 billion.
3 'Incredibles 2' (2018) Box Office: $1.24 billion.
Here are some articles:
"You either die Shrek or live long enough to see yourself become Lord Farquaad
DreamWorks’ fairy tale satire disrupted Disney"
"Jeffrey Katzenberg, was the head of Walt Disney Studios that started the Disney Renaissance. It is rumored that Walt Disney Company CEO, Michael Eisner, reneged on a verbally promised promotion of Katzenberg, which led to the latter's resignation.
Katzenberg the founded DreamWorks and produced animated movies to directly rival Disney. Aside from Eisner's similarity to Lord Farquaad, there are many other jabs against the Walt Disney Company (e.g. enslavement of fairy tale characters, Duloc introduction song, Princess Fiona's depiction as an anti-Disney princess). It is obvious that Katzenberg vented a lot of his anger at his previous employer through Shrek."
"Shrek' was widely considered to be a parody/satire of the Disney Corporation"
Oak! Mason! First time? For shame! 😂
Glad you're getting caught up.
I absolutely love the series, and hope y'all do too! So much to love 😂😅❤
You guys are my favorite reactors. This was so hilarious I literally lost it at oak singing hallelujah 😂😂 I had to pause I was laughing so hard. You guys are great
The oak singing hallelujah 😊 was not expecting that 😂.
i love watching you guys get mushy when he told her he loved her. so sweet.
So happy to see your channel growing!! It's what you deserve, you guys are all amazing. Fr my dads away from home when I'm on campus at school. Wish you all well always! Sending love from Chicago :)
Also you guys should watch the whole series now! They're all pretty good I think, plus the Puss in Boots spinoffs as well
I wish The Oak was my neighbor, just seems like a great friend to have.
I won tickets to see this when it came out in theaters, and it was so good. It still holds up!
Fun fact: when Shrek said the word 'ass', every single kid in the theater gasped and it was hilarious.
Animation films are never done like this , it feels like you are watching a different film when you watch it as a child vs an adult . Brilliant !
Ok, the Oak singing "hallelujah" is a new reaction best moment ever.
I mean I kinda HAD TO! -Oak
@davidbaye3758 thanks man, love what you do. Honoured to get a response.
In Spanish we don’t have the Muffin man line. The ginger bread man says the lyrics from a children’s song Pinpon es un muñeco, so it tracks The Answer didn’t understand it
2:57 this song was not written for Shrek. It was actually originally featured in the movie mystery Man with Ben Stiller.
