Shrek in Spanish has got to be the most hilarious experience for me. A lot of the voice actors had to improvise their lines and it made it 10X funnier and genuine
@@AlfredSoul Shrek is an iconic movie series in LATAM due to the voice actors making subtle changes here in there or changin entire dialogues between characters to resonate more with the hispanic viewer. Even Antonio Banderas was funnier in the Spanish version than the English version Most English phrases don't translate well in Spanish so a lot of time the voice actors have to find similar words or just improvise all together which makes the characters seem more genuine or funnier For example, we don't know the story of the Muffin Man, it's not something we tell the kids here, however, we know the story of Pinpon. That entire scene was changed completely to fit that story and when compared the Spanish voice actors put a lot of effort on the scene. The same thing happens with The Simpsons, although it is supposed to be a critique about the USA as a society, when done in Spanish the improvising is up to 100% which makes it hilarious and actually better than the English version
@@TheCrispyKiki Ah, I see, thanks for explaining all this. I'm German, and since pretty much all of the popular "western" fairy tales originated here, the dub I've been exposed to for all of my childhood is practically identical to the English one with only minor changes in the case of, for example, jokes otherwise getting lost in translation. As I don't speak spanish, I'm not familiar with the usual quality of Spanish voice acting, but in Germany, it is a pretty big independent industry with usually not just famous people or big actors voicing movie characters, so the quality is generally way better than the American originals, because of which I also prefer the German dub, in the case of Shrek and actually the Simpsons aswell, lol.
I believe I read it’s Spanish dub of The Emperor's New Groove. The Simpsons ,and especially Top cat were like that too I get the impression that Spanish dubbing companies who are assigned to dub more wacky cartoons they must let the voice actors do what ever. (Also I this must be is why Top Cat is the most popular and beloved Hanna Barbra franchise in Spanish speaking territories, and is more popular then Scooby doo, or The Flintsones Were in America Top Cat is largely forgotten )
@@notchuckproductions5029 There's an interview with the Spanish dub actor that does Homer in The Simpsons and the way he explains it is kind of what I envision. They just do whatever they feel is natural and if it's funny it sticks
Apparently Mike Myers based the Shrek voice off his Scottish parents, which probably partly explains why it's a lot more nuanced than his Fat Bastard voice
Oh, interesting. Then that's also the influence for his performance as a supporting character he played in one of his earlier movies (So I Married an Axe Murderer)
It’s pretty wild that dream works started with bible recreations, and went to shrek lmao. You guys should review the prince of Egypt and the Ten Commandments

@@HOTD108_ he was racist towards Asians during WW2 and made some pretty cringe propaganda pieces (drawing Japanese people as typical asian caricatures etc), but later changed his views after the war. Horton Hears A Who was literally written as an allegory for America's occupation of Japan.
Shrek 1 ends with a dance party at Shrek and Fiona's wedding - i.e. a situation where having a dance party is appropriate and completely makes sense in context. Then, after seeing how it was a nice way to end a film, Dreamworks decided every animated film had to end like that whether it made sense or not.
Shrek the Turd shouldnt have killed Harold off, they wasted any potential growth to his and Shreks relationship moving on with the franchise and in the movie. They could had harold as a supportive Figure while shrek still doesnt know how to be a father/king
Shrek The Third feels... Dark to me. Like, Shrek 4 has the darker plot overall, but Shrek 3 just gives me a depressive feeling, it's weird as hell... For most of the movie the sky is gray and/or cloudy, and it has things like Fiona's dad dying and Shrek having to deal with being a father... It all gives me a very sour mood. Maybe it's because all of the jokes suck and the movie is boring and takes itself seriously, idk.
You're definitely on to something the how most of the film has grey cloudy skies. That's always confused me, like what was the creative reasoning for that? No idea.
One other thing I noticed is that a lot of scenes have an orange-ish tint to them, like if every scene besides night takes place in a sunrise. The skies are actually blue, but the lighting and slight desaturation of the colors make it look gray and dull. They basically decided to remove the colors from everything and gave it an orange-ish brown color grading, which is one of the stupidest decisions ever.
the best comedy is at the school but they barley are there long and maybe get a few jokes out of a student before it moves to another scene/student character..that setting should of been like 1/3rd of the film[s run time and have them have to like find arthur or save him from bullies or catch him on the run through classes and activities and awkward chase sequenced montages like in scooby doo..the way it plays out is so short and then we get awkward walking around the woods humor which is so boring and flat and quiet...its cringe...
Spamming their TH-cam videos with ads was how Jurassic World was able to pay for the genetic engineering to make Indominous Rex smile. Our Sardonibois have big plans.
@@balabanasireti The word "transgender" is actually considered problematic now, because they're not transitioning their gender, because they always were that gender, and society just assigned them the incorrect one at birth.
I never even made the connection until now that Mike Meyers and Chris Farley were castmates on SNL. I also joked to myself while watching this that Puss In Boots is like Solo: A Star Wars Story, and then I remembered that while watching the film a few months ago I made the exact same connection.
I swear someone at Netflix must be a sardonicast fan because Chinatown just got added and this is like the third time the recommendation has shown up a couple weeks later...
Is it even popular outside the US? I feel I'd have been the right age to see it as a kid, or maybe a bit too young. Same question for all the 2D Dreamworks movies really.
IMO Shrek 2 is one of the best sequels of all time. The humor, writing, action, everything are significantly better than the first. If Shrek 1 is a 7 for me, I give Shrek 2 a 9/10. I'm very disappointed our Sardonibois didn't see the genius in it.
@@balabanasireti I love both, but I can't give them more than a 7 and a 9 respectfully. Going further than that seems a bit unjustified to me, just if you feel differently that's valid. Contrary to popular Mauler propaganda, art IS subjective.
I love the first Shrek because there was something about it that was always small and personal to me. Maybe it is because Shrek 2 had a budget that was $90 million larger then its predecessor but that movie to me doesn't feel small or personal at all.
Shrek 1 still holds up. It's nostalgic and it's a product of it's time, the music is good (the use of some pop songs in the movie can sometimes be jarring to hear, but it goes well with the weirdness of the movie), the voice acting is great, especially Eddie Murphy and John Lithgow, it's imaginative and creative and clever. You gotta give it credit. The animation hasn't aged well and can sometimes be a bit uncanny. A strong 7 out of 10.
@@balabanasireti I know it’s going to boil down to personal preferences. The parodying of fairytales in Shrek 1 is still present in Shrek 2, but instead of telling a traditional fairytale story, the producers decided to take the series in a weird direction by telling a story of Shrek meeting Fiona’s parents. Thus making for funny gags between Shrek, Fiona, Fiona’s parents, and the people who live in the kingdom of Far, Far Away, where almost the entirety of the story takes place. Gone are the environmentally different places that the first film took you, and gone is the cleverness. More jokes are told and more characters are introduced. The music isn’t as memorable as the first film (pop songs are still used throughout the movie, but aren’t as jarring to hear this time around. I guess this has to do with the more traditional “meeting her parents” story being told and the audience becoming acclimated with pop songs being in Shrek movies), but the animation is better. There are some elements from Shrek 1 that I liked that are sprinkled into Shrek 2. 6 out of 10.
The use of pop songs were done intentionally to convey the tone and ideas and lessons the movie was trying to tell the audience. I think the choices were well made.
It's a little disappointing that they didn't review any of the shorts or Shrek 4D in more detail, so i'm gonna leave my thoughts on some of them in this comment, for anyone who cares: Shrek 4D: It's worth a watch just to see a more fleshed-out & satisfying resolution to Farquaad's death. I always thought his demise came really abruptly in the original Shrek. The stone dragon flight sequence is actually pretty fucking cool to experience in the Universal theater itself. 7/10. Shrek the Halls: Boring pile of dogshit. Nothing meaningful or memorable happens for almost the entire short. Everything goes how you'd expect it to, and it ends up just being a worse version of Shrek Forever After, just without any alternate dimension stuff. Shrek realizes his family and friends are what Christmas is all about instead of the idealized version he made up in his head, which is a dull message delivered with no wit or irony. I was wondering why it sucked so badly until i saw it was made the same year as Shrek 3, so it had the same talentless hack writers. I kinda liked the Hallmark store cashier at the beginning, for the 20 seconds she was in it. 2/10. Thriller Night: Just a parody of the Thriller music video. Not really a short film, just a music video with Shrek in it. Not very inspired, but brings back a lot of unexpected characters as zombies, including the Pied Piper (which actually makes a ton of sense in that context), so I guess it had a couple neat moments. Inoffensive at best. 5/10. Scared Shrekless: This one REALLY surprised me. It's more of a series of tiny short films inside a bigger short film framing device. Shrek's "The Exorcist" campfire story was the worst (still not awful; has a funny ending with Jiminy Cricket), Puss & Donkey's "Psycho" story was the best (lots of enjoyable absurdity that just keeps building & building), and Gingy's "Bride of Frankenstein" story was also pretty solid (Shrek the Halls has a quick dumb gag with Gingy's girlfriend as well, but this short does way more interesting stuff with her). The short doesn't have Eddie Murphy in it, unfortunately, but they got an EXCELLENT impersonator for him, and the writing for the character is just as witty and believable as Donkey is in any of the movies. 8/10. Shrek's Yule Log: Whoever had the idea for this "short film" was on crack. It's literally just 30 (THIRTY) straight minutes of an animated fireplace, OCCASIONALLY interrupted by a character walking in front of the fire doing something mundane, like eating cookies or getting burned and running off-screen, quickly returning to a normal fireplace shot for another 6-7 minutes straight, until it just ends with the fire going out. One of the most inexplicable & bizarre Special Feature inclusions I've ever seen attached to any movie. Ever. 0/10. (or 10/10 depending on how you look at things like this) Far, Far Away Idol: This is a more canon continuation of Shrek 2 than Shrek the Third is. I'm not kidding. It's basically just a karaoke compilation with some light interactivity. I will say that it's lazy bullshit that they didn't animate an ending for every character, because they offer you like 15 possible winners to choose from at the end, but Simon Fucking Cowell just rejects your choice for like 95% of the options and picks himself. I think only Donkey, Shrek, and Puss have unique endings, and are the only characters "allowed" to win. The short doesn't hold up that well anymore due to Simon Cowell's irrelevence in modern pop culture. Still better than Shrek 3. 4/10. Thank you for coming to my Shrek talk. Edit: I tried watching an episode of Puss in Boots (TV series), but I was so put off by the shitty Flash animation style that looks worse than most TH-camr animation that I stopped watching 2 minutes in. Not going to grade it. Someone let me know if there's anything worthwhile in it.
Puss in boots in honesly pretty good, story wise that is not really animation wise but yeah its kind of 50/50 between Goofy jokes and an overarching story. In general I find these dreamworks shows (penguins of Madagascar, king Julien, turbo fast) to be pretty damn underrated but that might just be nostalgia
Adam will hate me for this, but the scene with Shrek on stage with the babies is my favourite scene of the movie. It was so bizarre which is what made it ironically funny.

I love Kiyoshi Kurosawa, I'm excited that you are talking about him. Maybe after Cure talk about Pulse, or some of his non horror films like Tokyo Sonata.
The first Shrek is iconic and I adore it but the 2nd is my absolute favourite. For as far as I'm concerned, Shrek only has two films. Then Puss has his own spin-off films.
Me hearing these three explain that the Shrek movies are better than they deserve to be and that Puss is a flat character right before Puss in Boots: The Last Wish blew it out of the fucking park 💀
I never knew there was an American remake of Another Round in the works. When Alex brought that up I genuinely started shouting “No!” out loud over and over. Please fucking stop remaking things Hollywood
But guys, what about the scene in puss in boots where it reveals that humpty planned everything from the beginning and he was everywhere that puss was even when he was knocked out at the end he was throwing crumbs around puss so that the crows would circle around him and then the crows carry humpty off as he makes an oopsie face.
Shrek was nominated for best adapted screenplay, alongside fellowship of the ring, best picture winner a beautiful mind, and two movies you’ve never heard of (ghost world and in the bedroom)
Imma be honest here, Shrek 2 is the sequel that improves itself over it’s predecessor and is up there with films like The Dark Knight, Aliens, Terminator 2, The Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather Part II and Paddington 2 as being one of the best movie sequels of all time! I honestly like it better than the first one and that’s definitely an unpopular opinion of mine.
Unpopular opinion, Shrek 4 >/= Shrek 1. The main problem with Shrek 4 is that Shreks motivations at the start are so stupid and rushed, he seems pretty out of character

@@TheCrispyKiki Ah, I see, thanks for explaining all this.
I'm German, and since pretty much all of the popular "western" fairy tales originated here, the dub I've been exposed to for all of my childhood is practically identical to the English one with only minor changes in the case of, for example, jokes otherwise getting lost in translation.
As I don't speak spanish, I'm not familiar with the usual quality of Spanish voice acting, but in Germany, it is a pretty big independent industry with usually not just famous people or big actors voicing movie characters, so the quality is generally way better than the American originals, because of which I also prefer the German dub, in the case of Shrek and actually the Simpsons aswell, lol.
I believe I read it’s Spanish dub of The Emperor's New Groove. The Simpsons
,and especially Top cat were like that too I get the impression that Spanish dubbing companies who are assigned to dub more wacky cartoons they must let the voice actors do what ever. (Also I this must be is why Top Cat is the most popular and beloved Hanna Barbra franchise in Spanish speaking territories, and is more popular then
Scooby doo, or The Flintsones
Were in America Top Cat is largely forgotten )
@@notchuckproductions5029 There's an interview with the Spanish dub actor that does Homer in The Simpsons and the way he explains it is kind of what I envision. They just do whatever they feel is natural and if it's funny it sticks

Apparently Mike Myers based the Shrek voice off his Scottish parents, which probably partly explains why it's a lot more nuanced than his Fat Bastard voice
I heard something similar to that, but that the voice is based off a voice his mother would make when reading him stories as a kid.
Oh, interesting. Then that's also the influence for his performance as a supporting character he played in one of his earlier movies (So I Married an Axe Murderer)
the opening and ending have the greatest energy I have ever heard on this podcast

Shrek 1 ends with a dance party at Shrek and Fiona's wedding - i.e. a situation where having a dance party is appropriate and completely makes sense in context.
Then, after seeing how it was a nice way to end a film, Dreamworks decided every animated film had to end like that whether it made sense or not.

>Adam mentions "FGM" and says to not look it up.

Oh...
Shrek The Third feels... Dark to me. Like, Shrek 4 has the darker plot overall, but Shrek 3 just gives me a depressive feeling, it's weird as hell... For most of the movie the sky is gray and/or cloudy, and it has things like Fiona's dad dying and Shrek having to deal with being a father... It all gives me a very sour mood. Maybe it's because all of the jokes suck and the movie is boring and takes itself seriously, idk.
You're definitely on to something the how most of the film has grey cloudy skies. That's always confused me, like what was the creative reasoning for that? No idea.
One other thing I noticed is that a lot of scenes have an orange-ish tint to them, like if every scene besides night takes place in a sunrise. The skies are actually blue, but the lighting and slight desaturation of the colors make it look gray and dull. They basically decided to remove the colors from everything and gave it an orange-ish brown color grading, which is one of the stupidest decisions ever.
Gives me hangover 2 vibes

1:37:26 PRINCE OF EGYPT COME ON GUYS
have any of them even seen it?
Is it even popular outside the US? I feel I'd have been the right age to see it as a kid, or maybe a bit too young. Same question for all the 2D Dreamworks movies really.
IMO Shrek 2 is one of the best sequels of all time. The humor, writing, action, everything are significantly better than the first. If Shrek 1 is a 7 for me, I give Shrek 2 a 9/10. I'm very disappointed our Sardonibois didn't see the genius in it.
@@balabanasireti I love both, but I can't give them more than a 7 and a 9 respectfully. Going further than that seems a bit unjustified to me, just if you feel differently that's valid. Contrary to popular Mauler propaganda, art IS subjective.
how to spot a schaffrillas productions fan:
Didn't do much for me, sorry.
I agree but this feels like a joke
I love the first Shrek because there was something about it that was always small and personal to me. Maybe it is because Shrek 2 had a budget that was $90 million larger then its predecessor but that movie to me doesn't feel small or personal at all.
I'm please requesting you guys to watch The Spongebob Movie 2004, it's great imo
If you watch the 1st 2 and then Forever After it still works as a trilogy
Shrek 1 still holds up. It's nostalgic and it's a product of it's time, the music is good (the use of some pop songs in the movie can sometimes be jarring to hear, but it goes well with the weirdness of the movie), the voice acting is great, especially Eddie Murphy and John Lithgow, it's imaginative and creative and clever. You gotta give it credit. The animation hasn't aged well and can sometimes be a bit uncanny. A strong 7 out of 10.
@@NoxxPie I guess I’m referring to how it compares to the animation in Shrek 2. In Shrek 1, Fiona can sometimes look uncanny in her human form.
@@balabanasireti I know it’s going to boil down to personal preferences. The parodying of fairytales in Shrek 1 is still present in Shrek 2, but instead of telling a traditional fairytale story, the producers decided to take the series in a weird direction by telling a story of Shrek meeting Fiona’s parents. Thus making for funny gags between Shrek, Fiona, Fiona’s parents, and the people who live in the kingdom of Far, Far Away, where almost the entirety of the story takes place. Gone are the environmentally different places that the first film took you, and gone is the cleverness. More jokes are told and more characters are introduced. The music isn’t as memorable as the first film (pop songs are still used throughout the movie, but aren’t as jarring to hear this time around. I guess this has to do with the more traditional “meeting her parents” story being told and the audience becoming acclimated with pop songs being in Shrek movies), but the animation is better. There are some elements from Shrek 1 that I liked that are sprinkled into Shrek 2. 6 out of 10.
The use of pop songs were done intentionally to convey the tone and ideas and lessons the movie was trying to tell the audience. I think the choices were well made.
"still holds up" "it's nostalgic" that's a contradiction, either it actually holds up, or you just like it because of nostalgia. Which is it?
To clarify, liking something because of nostalgia means you don't actually like that thing, you just like the thought of being younger.
Y’all should do the original Scarface (1932) and the Al Pacino Scarface (1983)
At the end, Alex says that “cure” inspired “se7en”, but “Cure” came out two years after “Se7en”
Cure inspired Memories Murder (by Bong Joon-ho) and Zodiac( by David Fincher)
Shrek 1 is 8/10
Shrek 2 is straight up a masterpiece 10/10
this is ogrewhelming!
This is my absolute favorite episode of Sardonicast ❤
It's a little disappointing that they didn't review any of the shorts or Shrek 4D in more detail, so i'm gonna leave my thoughts on some of them in this comment, for anyone who cares:
Shrek 4D: It's worth a watch just to see a more fleshed-out & satisfying resolution to Farquaad's death. I always thought his demise came really abruptly in the original Shrek. The stone dragon flight sequence is actually pretty fucking cool to experience in the Universal theater itself. 7/10.
Shrek the Halls: Boring pile of dogshit. Nothing meaningful or memorable happens for almost the entire short. Everything goes how you'd expect it to, and it ends up just being a worse version of Shrek Forever After, just without any alternate dimension stuff. Shrek realizes his family and friends are what Christmas is all about instead of the idealized version he made up in his head, which is a dull message delivered with no wit or irony. I was wondering why it sucked so badly until i saw it was made the same year as Shrek 3, so it had the same talentless hack writers. I kinda liked the Hallmark store cashier at the beginning, for the 20 seconds she was in it. 2/10.
Thriller Night: Just a parody of the Thriller music video. Not really a short film, just a music video with Shrek in it. Not very inspired, but brings back a lot of unexpected characters as zombies, including the Pied Piper (which actually makes a ton of sense in that context), so I guess it had a couple neat moments. Inoffensive at best. 5/10.
Scared Shrekless: This one REALLY surprised me. It's more of a series of tiny short films inside a bigger short film framing device. Shrek's "The Exorcist" campfire story was the worst (still not awful; has a funny ending with Jiminy Cricket), Puss & Donkey's "Psycho" story was the best (lots of enjoyable absurdity that just keeps building & building), and Gingy's "Bride of Frankenstein" story was also pretty solid (Shrek the Halls has a quick dumb gag with Gingy's girlfriend as well, but this short does way more interesting stuff with her). The short doesn't have Eddie Murphy in it, unfortunately, but they got an EXCELLENT impersonator for him, and the writing for the character is just as witty and believable as Donkey is in any of the movies. 8/10.
Shrek's Yule Log: Whoever had the idea for this "short film" was on crack. It's literally just 30 (THIRTY) straight minutes of an animated fireplace, OCCASIONALLY interrupted by a character walking in front of the fire doing something mundane, like eating cookies or getting burned and running off-screen, quickly returning to a normal fireplace shot for another 6-7 minutes straight, until it just ends with the fire going out. One of the most inexplicable & bizarre Special Feature inclusions I've ever seen attached to any movie. Ever. 0/10. (or 10/10 depending on how you look at things like this)
Far, Far Away Idol: This is a more canon continuation of Shrek 2 than Shrek the Third is. I'm not kidding. It's basically just a karaoke compilation with some light interactivity. I will say that it's lazy bullshit that they didn't animate an ending for every character, because they offer you like 15 possible winners to choose from at the end, but Simon Fucking Cowell just rejects your choice for like 95% of the options and picks himself. I think only Donkey, Shrek, and Puss have unique endings, and are the only characters "allowed" to win. The short doesn't hold up that well anymore due to Simon Cowell's irrelevence in modern pop culture. Still better than Shrek 3. 4/10.
Thank you for coming to my Shrek talk.
Edit: I tried watching an episode of Puss in Boots (TV series), but I was so put off by the shitty Flash animation style that looks worse than most TH-camr animation that I stopped watching 2 minutes in. Not going to grade it. Someone let me know if there's anything worthwhile in it.
Puss in boots in honesly pretty good, story wise that is not really animation wise but yeah its kind of 50/50 between Goofy jokes and an overarching story. In general I find these dreamworks shows (penguins of Madagascar, king Julien, turbo fast) to be pretty damn underrated but that might just be nostalgia
IHE: “Home might be the most generic movie ever made…”
*Turbo has entered the chat*
Yeah Turbo is worse
Baffled someone can say that about Home when World War Z exists.
Adam will hate me for this, but the scene with Shrek on stage with the babies is my favourite scene of the movie. It was so bizarre which is what made it ironically funny.
Shrek and Shrek 2 are masterpieces to behold, and this is not sarcasm at all...

I've seen Ghost World...
Sorry, if you haven't heard of Ghost World you should broaden your movie view a little 😘
Imma be honest here, Shrek 2 is the sequel that improves itself over it’s predecessor and is up there with films like The Dark Knight, Aliens, Terminator 2, The Empire Strikes Back, The Godfather Part II and Paddington 2 as being one of the best movie sequels of all time! I honestly like it better than the first one and that’s definitely an unpopular opinion of mine.
Unpopular opinion, Shrek 4 >/= Shrek 1. The main problem with Shrek 4 is that Shreks motivations at the start are so stupid and rushed, he seems pretty out of character
