So, I was rewatching Exes and Ohs, and I caught this gem.
Blitz says in this scene; "Buckle up Millie, we're pulling a shrek!"
Then proceeds to burst into the wedding and Yell:
"I OBJECT!"
Their referencing the end of Shrek 1 People!!!
How is nobody talking about this!?!?!?!

Holy shit it dawned on me
Fiona's spell wasn't limited to just ogre or human. The spell said "she'll take the form of her true love".
In canon, she falls in love with Shrek and stays an ogre. If she had fallen in love with a human, she would've stayed human.
If she had fallen in love with Puss, she would've turned into a cat. If she had fallen in love with Donkey, she would've turned into a donkey.
Consider the possibilities

These two would be bestfriends.
Why you ask?
1.They both are mommy's boys.
2.They are both kinky or sexual in some sort of way.
3. They are both princes except one wanted a throne and the other didn't until he was convinced. They are both kings anyways.
4. They are both from second relationships.
and...that concludes.

What’s your favorite Shrek movie and why? I’ll go first.
Shrek 2 bcuz with all of its tiny details in the movie like world-renowned labels with diferent names or its resemblance with the American type of living and of course the songs used in the movie... (don’t even try to mention I need a hero scene, everyone gets excited during that scene) oh my, Shrek 2 literally haunted me and this is a comfort movie for me to relax on the weekends with a cup of tea.

Jen Tortures Herself With Every Dreamworks Animated Movie Ever: Shrek
The Man. The Myth. The Legend himself. Shrek is love. Shrek is Life.
Aside from being an Endless Meme Factory though, Shrek is a pretty great movie in its own right! There's this certain charm to the first Shrek, a certain sort of innocence to it (despite being so blatantly made to make fun of Disney). This really was Shrek before it became everything it originally stood against, its Shrek in its most Pure Form.
As a result, we get a really great introduction to this world and these characters. Shrek himself is wonderfully written here, we really get to peel back the layers (pun intended) of this curmudgonly loner as he interacts with Donkey and Fiona and eventually see him come to genuninely care about them both and its really sweet. He's also just hilarious, but we all already knew that.
Donkey is always fun, though I think maybe he rambles on a bit too much at points? Like I think they just put Eddy Murphy in the recording booth and let him do whatever he wanted and sometimes it works, other times, I'm with Shrek in wanting him to just shut the fuck up. Fiona is cool, weird and sassy in all the right ways and serves as a great foil to Shrek, while Farquaad is a little ass man who is so much fun to hate.
The plot is really well put together, and while there are a few holes in it here and there (that breakdown of communication between Shrek and Fiona going into the final act), for the most part, its a really solid story that's a lot of fun to follow along, with some great jokes and action along the way.
The animation has... aged, I won't deny that. But for 2001, it is still very impressive, especially when you look at some of the texture work. I definately think our main cast gets a glow up in Shrek 2, but for their first outing, they look fine enough. The music is also solid! Not many animated movies pull off a pop soundtrack, but this one really does (All Star is iconic for a reason, folks) and the score is also very beautiful at times (the castle escape music is so intense and perfect).
At the end of the day, I think its easy to see why Shrek became the cultural juggernaut that it is today. It's a very memorable movie, one that was so unique and unlike anything else most had seen at the time of its release. It's also just... so damn funny, like seriously, there are some jokes that still get me laughing out loud. It follows a trend I've noticed with early Dreamworks movies where it's not really made for kids, but its not quite for adults either. In that sense, its made for well... everyone to enjoy. As animated movies should be. Early Dreamworks understood that so well. (idk what the fuck happened bc now they seem to have mostly forgotten that philosophy)
But yeah, Shrek is good. If you haven't seen it in a while, give it a watch cause its a genuinely good time.
Overall Rating: 8/10
Verdict: WHAT ARE YE DOIN IN ME SWAMP
Previous Review (Chicken Run)
Next Review (Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron)
