Shrek - 2001
Once upon a time, in a far away 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.

    First veggietales, then bee movie, now shrek. They've completed the trifecta of movies they avoided
  • @TheDarkLordK
    Shrek is the biggest middle-finger to Disney, and I love it.
  • @Chris-qc2kd
    Fun fact: Dreamworks would send the people who messed up while working on The Prince of Egypt to work on Shrek instead as punishment. This was called getting “Shreked”.

    The Shrek Lore is like onions, it has layers
  • shrek was inducted into the national film registry it is literally one of the most important films of all time
  • @Capstone2266
    I saw Shrek on demand, and it was censored... "Where are you going??" "I have to get my DONKIE!"
  • @bejoe95
    6:48 "You will never know why they said this" They subjected themselves to Daddy Day Care and decided not to release that (yet)
  • @sS0O0L
    from 3:55 onwards this whole commentary takes place inside that wooden puppet presentation.
  • "It looks like Halo 1" It came out the same year as Halo: Combat Evolved (Halo 1).
  • ALL HAIL THE KING OF ANIMATED CHARACTERS THE MAN THE MYTH THE LEGEND SHREK !

    7:50 I think Donkey was the character that made the bard seducing the dragon a meme in the first place. Donkey has the personality of a dnd bard: he's charismatic and loves to sing.

    Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb In the shape of an "L" on her forehead Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold It's a cool place and they say it gets colder You're bundled up now, wait 'til you get older But the meteor men beg to differ Judging by the hole in the satellite picture The ice we skate is getting pretty thin The water's getting warm so you might as well swim My world's on fire, how about yours? That's the way I like it and I'll never get bored Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars Somebody once asked could I spare some change for gas? I need to get myself away from this place I said, "Yup" what a concept I could use a little fuel myself And we could all use a little change (go) Well, the years start coming and they don't stop coming Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running Didn't make sense not to live for fun Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb So much to do, so much to see So what's wrong with taking the back streets? You'll never know if you don't go (go!) You'll never shine if you don't glow Hey now, you're an all-star, get your game on, go play Hey now, you're a rock star, get the show on, get paid And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold And all that glitters is gold Only shooting stars break the mold

    I can’t believe the guy from the Mucinex commercials got his own movie….
  • @jackofclubs6229
    2:25 Someone pointed out how Shrek pauses before saying “Shrek,” implying the possibility that Shrek is not actually his real name and that it’s just a name he made up, meaning we have no clue what his real name is.

    Lord Farquad walked so that Enver Gortash can also just walk around
