Maaan that rendition of "I Need A Hero" with the trio charging towards the castle is still one of the best, funniest, scenes in animation 👏🏽😂
Funny enough, whenever I would sit and watch that movie with my lil sister(when she was a kid), she used to say that she’s like Gingy and I’m like Mongo🤷🏾♂️😂…
Based on the idea that in our house only us two kind of look alike, and me being the bigger one led her child mind come to that conclusion😅
That song is in my workout playlist.
No kidding
🤣🤣
That sequence alone makes this movie better than the 1st and I will die on this hill
@@SnarkyRogue Shrek 2 definitely shines like no other movie does
It's actually a fun little detail; in the original Puss in Boots story, Puss in Boots defeats a massive Ogre (albeit by tricking him into turning mouse and eating him). So when the ugly stepsister says that there's only one guy who can kill and ogre, that's a direct reference to the original fairy tale
I never knew this, so thanks!!
There is a version where the villain in puss in boots is an ogre? xD I'm german and in the german version it's an evil wizard lmao
@@tatarilpThe version I'm familiar with had the baddie as a giant, not an ogre. But I guess in some genres the term is more interchangeable.
@@tatarilpIch kenn auch nur die Version mit dem bösen Zauberer.
Well I am not sure this helps you see the Fairy Godmother as a better villain but it is heavily implied (given none of this is out right stated in the movies) that the Fairy Godmother was the original witch that put the Oger curse on Fiona in the first place and set up the whole scenario of her being locked away in a tower so that one day her son "Charming" would rescue Fiona, breaking said curse and fall in love with him so she through her son would have control over the Kingdom of Far Far Away. So yes, she created this whole conflict in the first place as a power move to control the Kingdom and get a lay for her son!
Wow!!
Oh man! I love this! I think this is a really nice way to tie the first two Shrek movies together.
"heavily implied" "none of this was stated in the movies" cognitive dissonance much?
@@solairedude7119 I agree. I feel the better word would be "theorized" so thank you mr. grammar police.
@@AKen_Films not really grammar police just straight up two contradicting statements
The “Knights” bit with the “White Bronco” being an OJ Simpson reference will always make me laugh out loud
One of the greatest sequels of all time.
The Fairy Godmother.
Puss in Boots.
I Need a Hero.
Just brilliant.
The Fairy Godmother was an amazing villian. I loved every minute of her
@@lessismore8533 Yeah I agree, Prince Charming was pretty good as well
On a side note, Shrek is actually the reason why Eddie Murphy didn’t reprise his role as Mushu from Mulan for Mulan 2. He apparently has a rider in his contract stating that he can’t do more than one film at a time.
It's a good thing he avoided Mulan 2
Dang! Mushu is equally as funny too
I feel like that's an excuse. Disney sequels notoriously suck.
I can’t BELIEVE she likes Lord Farquad more as a villain than Fairy Godmother! I just could never take him serious at all 😂 hope you guys continue to do the rest!
Seriously, Farquad does next to nothing in the story of Shrek 1. He's a glorified quest-giver who's also a pretty weak villain. The short jokes aren't all that original or funny outside of the legendary double entendre "Do you think he's compensating for something?" line. Farquad is just kinda lame. All talk, little action.
The Fairy Godmother is an actual threat who's pulling most of the strings behind the scenes. She's much funnier and a much better manipulator too. Plus the "I Need a Hero" cover is probably a Top 5 Dreamworks scene ever. She's an outstanding villain from top to bottom and definitely in the Top 5 of the studio. I wouldn't put Farquad in the Top 10.
@@matthewmazzatto8003 I agree 100%!!
Oh hey its the best sequel of all time.
Puss in boots 2 is right there with it though
Apparently they disagree
That police scene is my favourite scene in the Shrek franchise, I love the stereotypical dark humour in it, the black guy (Donkey) gets brutality, the Spanish guy (Puss) gets caught with "cat nip" and the white guy (Shrek) gets off easy. 😂
To play devil’s advocate, it’s rather hard to say ‘the white guy’ got off easy when he got the in-universe equivalent of pepper-spray 😆😆
@jcrews8582 I mean compared to police brutality and a drug charge
@@GrandmaNUT Not wrong there!
it was parodying the show cops and the stereotypes they had on it
I just have to say that I love Puss & Boots because he's basically Cat Zorro😅
I'll never forget the hype around this movie as a kid. They fully delivered a great sequel.😂😂
And Antonio Banderas just loves voicing this character, as he keeps coming back for more. That's when you know you've created a good character (and paid the voice actor well).
@@jacob4920 As someone who holds "The Mask of Zorro" in high regard, it has always made me happy to know that he kept that character alive in the Shrek franchise😇
@@LivinMyJeffLife Right down to carving the "P" in that tree trunk, with his sword, the moment he first appears in the saga. I knew immediately that was a "Banderas" tribute, when I first saw it all those years ago! lol
Really makes me wish the got Catherine Zeta Jones in the Puss in Boots moves. But Selma Hayak is in one so that's really good as well :)
@@LivinMyJeffLife Did you know that he was supposed to have a crossover movie with Django and then a sequel where he takes a similar role as Anthony Hopkins and could pass the baton to a new Zorro.
The I need a hero scene is absolutely my favourite scene in any movies guaranteed goosebumps. Shrek 1 is a great movie best in the Shrek series, Shrek 2 is just a perfect sequal. Grows characters and movies story forward without any retrace. Not many sequels can claim that.
I'd be down for more Shrek. Been so long since I've seen them. I was right there with Jen when Shrek was surrounded by those 3 women in the barn...
3 and 4 are pretty bad
@@Rushking204 is a masterpiece.
3 is so bad most fans don’t consider it canon.
As a completionist who watches only full series (yes even Robocop 3) I would love them to
@@MediaLoverChris02 I'll still watch 3 but it's mostly for Merlin/Eric Idle.
@Rushking20 3 was awesome, 4 is bad.
If I recall, the creators said the potion turned Dragon into a Pegasus, a REALLY talkative one, so they ended up cutting her out of the movie until the end. (It also would have made *certain* things more difficult to hide.)
WOOOO!!!!! This is my favorite Shrek movie and I'm so happy you guys are doing more from the series
When Fiona told donkey that a witch cast a spell on her, it was actually the fairy godmother.
My favourite part about this movie, is when the king enters the bar and the female frog "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" and the king says no. At the ending of the movie when the king becomes his true self, we learn he was actually a frog who turned into a human, which explains the comment from the lady frog. Basically impossible to notice unless you watch the movie more than once.
So, intersting behind the scenes. There were questions on if Dragon transformed when Donkey took the potion. And according to the creators, they had originally planned to have her come in as a pegasus, and she was going to help. But with the twist they had at the end, they decided not to move forward with that. But in their head canon... Yes, she still transformed into the pegasus.
Always laughs when Gingy says "it looks like we're up a chocolate creek without a popsicle stick" 😂 I love the take on "looks like were up sh*ts creek without a paddle" 😂
Fun fact: The Muffin man was actually a child murderer in the 16th century. The song was supposedly written to warn kids away from Drury Lane.
Well now that Jen saw the character of puss in boots, you guys should watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Because honestly it’s one of the best movies of 2022 and one of the best animated movies ever, on par with the spider-verse movies.
This
Jens already seen it
I definitely never picked up on the nothing to rub and the white bronco references as a kid. Shit was hilarious.
Fun fact:
In the special features of the DVD, there's a skit called "Far Far Away Idol" which is basically a rip-off of American Idol complete with an actual Simon Cowell appearance, and you get to pick the winner.
Definitely one of my favorite animated movies, so happy you guys reacted to it 😎
Really appreciate you guys not being sell outs or fake. Your reactions and personalities set the standard at a highbar. God Bless
This is the best Shrek film in my eyes, and just a great example of what a good sequel should do. It perfectly builds off the characters and themes of the original, and advances and develops them in ways that feel appropriate and effective. Also, it has the best climactic setpiece ever put to film, and is hysterically funny to boot, with some of the best gags in the entire series:
- The "are we there yet?" scene
- The entire awkward dinner
- Shrek pretending to be from the union (one of those jokes that gets funnier the older you get)
- The COPS parody
- Everyone in the Starbucks panicking when Mongo shows up...and running into _another_ Starbucks right across the street
How am I now just realizing Shrek 2 had a mid credit scene 😭 I always thought the kids was just a off movie thing tbh 😂
The best thing about the Shrek franchise is that it continually finds new and interesting ways to bring in other fairy tales and nursery rhymes to create great stories. While I love the first one more, Shrek 2 isn't far behind.
I love the way the Shrek franchise contains so many references and nods to fairy tales and nursery rhymes. One of the great things in Shrek 2 is thoughout the movie it hints that King Harold was the frog from the princess and the frog story (A tapestry of lillipads in his bedroom, he talks about his first date with the Queen by the lillipond). And the fairy godmother is only able to manipulate the king by telling him that she can just as easily take away his happily ever after (becoming a human and marrying the princess). Just makes the reveal at the end that much more deserved.
the amount of nostalgia this gave me, thank u for reminding me of my childhood! LOVE U GUYS
Best sequel EVER!😂🙏
Shrek 2 is commonly referred to as sequel rarely better than the first. Especially at that time in cinema.
If you continue with the shrek franchise I will love for you guys to get to Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The film was the biggest surprise of 2022 in the film industry in my opinion with its visual presentation, story structure, character developments, and underlining messages that were all phenomenal across the board. This is now one of my favorite animated films and I hope you two get around to seeing it! ♥
Agreed it was probably the sleepy hit of 2022. Makes me really sad I didn’t go to theaters for it as I like giving money to great films.
I still believe that Shrek 2 is better than Shrek 1. I love it so much!
All these years later and I'm only now discovering that Shrek 2 had a post credit scene.
This isn't just my favourite Shrek films, it's one of my favourite comedies of all time!
I'm glad y'all are continuing the Shrek movies! I hope you guys continue on watching the sequels. Plus, in my opinion Shrek 2 is just great or better than the first film.
Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life.
Jesus is life
When Shrek meets the parents in front of the crowd and he's met with silence, whoever is responsible for the crying baby created perfection.
It makes the scene 100× funnier
At the end when puss says they're off to the kitty cat club. It's a reference to the Kit Kat club in Berlin which is a famous sex club.
I’m glad that Jen enjoyed Shrek 2. There were so many references to many other films that as a kid, I didn’t understand the alien reference. You guys neeed! To watch the first puss in boots to see his origin story and to better understand the sencond one(the last wish)
Best movie in the franchise
Dragon was supposed to be in this movie too, the creators stated she would have transformed into a talking pegasus
😂
Our school had a Shrek: The Musical
And it went terribly
Shrek was played by a girl, Donkey was played by a girl, Pinocchio was played by a girl, lord farquad was played by a girl
And a special ed student walked onto the stage during one of the songs, about being weird (which the chorus teacher told him to do)
And the chorus students only found out that was planned AFTER the play, and then told us
Those aren’t issues, it’s just sexism
@@MediaLoverChris02 I’m more worried about the last part
But all the important and main characters were played by girls, while characters like the gingerbread man were played by a boy
But the last part was kind of messed up on the chorus teacher’s part
When Fairy godmother sings We Need a Hero was a great cinematic sequence.
Shrek 2 > shrek 1
When they approached David Bowie to request the use of his song “Changes”. He said yes, when he heard the singer, he liked it so much he recorded the backing vocals for her version of his song! One of my favorite bits of trivia.
Glad you guys are going to continue with the series. The I need a hero scene is such a iconic moment. Every time I hear Antonio in anything else all I think is Puss in Boots
This one is my personal favorite. I remember the dvd for this movie had some mini games on it. Some fond memories. Hope all is well with you both and your family!
Shrek 2 is definitely one of the best sequels of all time outdoing the first one in every conceivable way
The 3rd one has its moments but the 4th one is outstanding. In my rankings, it's 2, 4, 1, 3.
One cool thing about the "I need a hero" scene is that it plays over the original soundtrack that is used in the first movie when Shrek Fiona and Donkey run away from the dragon/when Shrek and Donkey fly on dragon to go crash the wedding. It's like Shrek's hero theme is fighting back against the villain's song
loved shrek 2
You have no idea how happy this has made me! I honestly thought youd never end up doing 2 and shrek + hardman is my golden apple. Thanks guys!!
I feel like Shrek is timeless and Shrek 2 has a little too much of the 00's flavor and references in it, in a positive way for the folks that saw it at the time but it's not aging as well as Shrek 1.
Great to see more animated stuff!
Would love for them to go through some of pixars classics.
SHREK FOREVER AFTER is really underrated, and what's nice is you can skip the third one and still follow it perfectly!
I’ve always loved the second shrek more than the first. Now the next movies to follow aren’t as good, but I do think y’all should still watch.
amazing movie! so glad you guys are finally continueing this series!
Antonio Banderas did the cat voice in english but also in spanish! what a talented man.
Your guys channel is amazing. With everything goin on I come to this channel to let everything go. You both are amazing.
I love the 2nd one much more than the first one! I havent watch the 1st in like a long time, while I have watched Shrek 2 like 6 times this year haha
The definitive best sequel in cinema history!
I need a hero is shrek 2 is honestly peak cinema
The bird slappin the wall is priceless 😂
Apparently Dragon was supposed to be part of the finale having transformed into a Pegasus.
“But Muffin Cake!” 🤣🤣
I love the line, "I say we hold him down & give him the Bob Barker treatment." 😂
been waiting for this ! im so excited to see jen’s reaction for this one & you too since like you said you don’t remember much of it, also excited for you guys to react the rest of the shrek movies
Look at Jenn catching references, So proud! 🥲
Holy crap, how is it that I never got the ginger cat saying, “I hate Mondays,” before? All the times I’ve seen this and I always missed that reference.
The Puss in boots movies are actually really good. The second one especially.
On my country's dub, the dialogue from 16:37 is like this 😂:
"No, *I'll* give him a kiss!"
"And I'll give something... Better."
I used to know this movie by heart, word for word.
What made you stop????
How is it possible you didn’t watch these growing up? 🤯
I’m very happy you got to watch it at last!
Also, these are way funnier in Spanish ♥️
Nice Shrek t-shirts keep up the amazing work and content glad to subscribe to your channel and got the notification bell on
@Holden Hardman Aside from the 3rd and 4th theatrical movie there were two television specials for Shrek that are worth checking out. Those were Shrek the Halls (a Christmas special) and Scared Shrekless (a Halloween special). Then there was also Shrek 4-D, one of those 3-D virtual movie coaster type amusement park rides who had its own story. While the ride itself no longer exist, the story/movie footage for the ride has been aired on TV and streaming services and was put on DVD going by alternate titles like Shrek 3-D, Shrek's Never Before Seen Adventure and The Ghost of Lord Farquaad.
18:35 Why am I finding this SO hilarious??.... 😅🤭
Guys, seriously, this was one of the first memes when there wasn't even any internet around! 🤭😂🤣
I did not know that I needed this reaction at 12am on the District Line, but I did and it kept me awake 🙏🏻❤️
'Ice Age' is another amazing animated movie that deserves a review.
I don’t know if it happens to anyone else but when Puss says “Go! Go! Your lady needs you. Go!” the “Today… I repay my debt.” I get all the chills.
Something about Puss having the honor to repay his debt by accepting his potential death
Everytime I see Prince Charming I can't unsee Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones lmao
17:40, in the spanish dub Puss says "Por ti baby sería Batman" -> "For you baby I could be Batman".
This is the best and last worth one watching 😂i
The 4th is really good.
Holden, I have a question. Have you and Jen ever seen Top Gun? If not, you really should. As well as the second one.
Shrek 3 and 4 next please
3 and 4 get a lot of hate but both are still very enjoyable especially the 4th. I think it has a strong story and it's executed pretty well
I remember seeing this in theater when I wad 13! Ppl were laughing the whole way. Definitely the best Shrek film!
Actually Shrek 2 had one more after credit scene like American Idol competition
I have it on old VHS
This is our families fav Shrek movie. So much humor including references to other pop culture movies.
Shrek 2 is better than the first
This is a childhood movie and it is the best shrek by far!!! The I need a hero and the handsome shrek and donkey are hilarious. This movie just brings back so many memories and nostalgia. You both also NEED to watch the new Puss in Boots because it is hilarious and is honestly a very good movie in general + Antonio Banderas is the 🐐
This is honestly my favorite Shrek film out of all four! There is a theory that Fairy Godmother was the one who placed the curse on Fiona to ensure that Charming would be the only one who could break the curse. Also in the original draft of Shrek 2, Dragon’s original name was revealed to be Elizabeth.
👹👩🏻🦰👸🏼🤴🏼🧚🏻♀️🍄🌹✨💚
In the first movie, it’s made clear that it was a witch that put the curse on Fiona
@@superjackster0165 if you remember Fairy Godmother and Harold made a deal about them both getting their “Happily Ever After”. So is it possible that she secretly place the curse in the first place without Fiona’s parents’ knowledge and made it look like a witch did it. Think about it, she’d be able to not only ensure Charming to have Fiona and the crown, but to ensure that Harold kept his end of the bargain. Plus she has magic so she could’ve even disguised herself to look like a witch.
SHREK 2 IS THE BEST!
I hope yall finish out this series
Shrek is sick in unique franchise and I love it.
Do we know what the Bob Barker treatment is??? 🤣🤣🤣
crazy theory - what if the king was originally a frog ?
the fairy godmother did say she helped him with his happily ever after, and Lilian did say they met "by the lake"..
And the biggest clue - after he got transformed to a frog he said to Lilian "I hoped you would never see me like this" so it got me thinking..
He was
He was. We saw it be hinted detail in the last fight that Fairy Godmothers wand can turn you into something you want or change you back as seen with Pinocchio.
We already know this universe is full of the OG fairy tales. So MAYBE fairy godmother decided to blackmail a young prince one day, either got him turned into a frog for years or he already was a frog and got cursed like fiona, blackmailed into being turned into a human quickly (without getting kissed like the og story because who would want to kiss a frog right?). So now fairy godmother has him under his thumb
It's not a theory, he was a frog originally lol
Holds up way better than the first one, to be honest
Great reaction you guys I actually agree quit a bit with the score you guys gave it I think it's around an 8 as well I just love watching all your reactions hearing your thoughts about everything and please read this whole thing even though it's long you don't have to but I'd like that I think the first shrek is more medieval cause of the castle and the dragon and when shrek is wearing the medieval kind of armour and it's just older and has a special theme and feeling to it that is really hard to beat and everytime you guys post a new video I feel happiness I love watching almost every video you guys do I also think you guys are cute together and hope that you guys live a long and wonderful life together and absolutely cannot wait to see your next reaction love you guys
Lol i accidentally clicked on Ashoka i havnt seen it yet. MUSTA BEEN HERA LOOKING LIKE SHREK AHAHAHAHAHA
The Garfield reference at 18:35 😂 I never caught that until now
