The original creator of Shrek and the author of that book only got $500k for giving up the rights to the character to Dreamworks. He definitely got the short end of that deal. Another interesting fact, Chris Farley was the original voice actor to play Shrek and there is even some concept art with some of his voiceover work out there and the art style is definitely more reminiscent of the storybook that the original author had illustrated.
@@baalfgames5318 well, this was before Shrek became the Mickey Mouse for DreamWorks, and if you know the origins of how Mickey Mouse got made it was basically that…….
@@jayloncorbett2922 no they say thw him is accompanied by a donkey, and this is false, then the whole story is diffrent like he can split fire and then he have power
@@ludovicotonelli5399 That was the point, it's different, but similar. There's an ogre, donkey and a princess and the extra details are just extra details that were left out of the Shrek we know 👌🏾
It's based of the book Shrek, the original animation test has a version of Shrek That looks like the one from the book that is also voice by Chris Farley
@@TheJ1aa2m3 Ogres being big, ugly and scary is literally their main defining traits; her being deemed as an ogre makes it the very definition of "called for" in this context 😆
I think it’s funny that the way Shrek is drawn in the book is how he was going to look in the movie before he was reanimated right before they released the movie😂😂😂
But In the original kids book the donkey didn't talk, and the princess want an ogre. And in puss and boots tlw shreck was nowhere to be seen. So there is a Shrek multiverse!!! The shrek-verse if you will.
wait a minute did you just say that since there is a book with the same name and plot(a ogre and a donkey saving a princess) even being the same details(fiona was also an ogre and the primcess of the book also looked like the ogre who saved her)that makes shrek a book inspired film bro you are a genius ❤❤❤
It's like they took Cinderella and made it into a movie. They took Pinocchio and made it to a movie. And maybe they're gonna do a live action. Shrek movie like it did to Cinderella. The little mermaid who knows and and they've been doing so much to to make it realistic and stuff. Actual people to play these parts. And they're doing a live action Moana movie. The Rock actually pit plays Maui. He voiced him in the cartoon. And now he's now he's actually playing Cam.
This is a pure Gem and it's still original like Smash Brothers That multiversal plot is it's own thing these characters all have new experiences from it making it new and original in that way
I remember the book being in our library in elementary school and me and my little friends would giggle at the part in the book where he calls the donkey a jabbering jackals.
I just had a dream I had the orge triplets for a week or something and they where actually cute😭 and I had to keep saving them from trouble and in the end I I took them safely to Fionna then woke up😅 it was an literal movie❤
Shrek is a movie that takes 4 1/2 years to make, due to the crew overwhelmingly trying to find the right actor to play as Shrek. While the animation of the movie is complete, Chris Farley was originally the voice of Shrek. He did record half of the lines but then he died in 1997. Later after his death, they requested Robin Williams to do the voice. But because of the fact that one of the founders of Dreamworks was the same guy who worked at Disney in 1990’s, working with that guy during the making of Aladdin was the LAST thing Robin Williams will do.
Steven Spielberg bought the rights to Shrek! In 1991 planning on making an animated movie, eventually he brought the rights to DreamWorks in 1994 to make it a reality. Shrek the movie released in 2001, and had been in production for 4 and a half years beforehand. Everything fits.
Its because the creator of the movie liked the book alot so he decided to make a movie about, and there was also a pilot for the movie, actually more of a test animation that looks more like the book shrek
I’m a true 90s kid I was born in 1981 and I still never heard of Shrek until the movies came out It’s just not a book I ever heard about or seen anywhere growin’ up
You do realize, almost all movies are based on books, games, and pictures, right? Harry Potter and How to Train Your Dragon are both based on the book series of the same name, and the emoji movie… do I need to say anything? Shrek seems to obviously be based on “Shrek!,” not to mention the book’s version of him matches Shrek’s original scrapped design.
That might be where they got the plot for the movie from it’s exactly the same thank you for telling us I’ve been researching this plot for about 3.5 years because in my attic I have that book I used to read it as a kid and that’s what got my interest in the subject
I always wondered if Shrek was the Ogre from The Flea. Every character like Pinocchio and Gingy are from original fairy tales. I assumed the vest that Shrek wears is the skin of that Flea. Because i don't know of an animal in the forest where Shrek lives that has skin like that.
I read this story in second grade, it was very different from the other stuff I was reading but I thought it was neat that I got to read the original story.
And also did you guys know that when they were making the shrek movie they made a different shrek it wasn’t like the one we know in love, it was ugly for them so they changed it
When DreamWorks wanted to make a feature film of the book, Steig agreed - and, in a Boston Globe interview, said he received $500,000 for the rights, less than he expected. still original
Hmmmm 🤔 the original Shrek looks like a “Bergen” from trolls. Shrek is from dreamworks…..Trolls is from dreamworks….. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
That's why he starts the movie by reading the book of Shrek.
And then calls his life story a load of crap
💀
😂😂😂😂😂 frs
Right
When he said the princess will be in the tallest room in the tallest tower and said I read it Ina book somewhere 😅
The greatest stories come from a book confirmed
lots of movies did
😮
wow
Yes

That's amazing I never knew that thank u
And didn't the original creator of Shriek die? So his original story will be in the public domain much sooner 😅
500,000$? That sounds like a pretty decent payout. What's wrong with that?
@@baalfgames5318 well, this was before Shrek became the Mickey Mouse for DreamWorks, and if you know the origins of how Mickey Mouse got made it was basically that…….
@@NitwitsWorld U ,wan shrek not shriek
Actually this story was taken from real live events back in 1985 when my parents met.
thats a lie
@mattschehr163 no its true. I was the donkey
😂
How romantic!
@@mattschehr163it was a joke💀
The story is completely different and the donkey is only for one chapter
They said main story points not exactly the same but close enough
It's a picture book, there are no chapters of I remember right.

I remember the phrase “Arrogant Ass”
Basically the movie adaptation of the Shrek 1990 kids book
Also, it was 1995 not 1990
Chris Farley was also the voice of Shrek before he died
It's based of the book Shrek, the original animation test has a version of Shrek That looks like the one from the book that is also voice by Chris Farley
“Uglier than him when Fiona turns into an ogre”I need you to take that back
I know I was like yooo why did that feel uncalled for.

He wasn’t just reanimated, but re-voiced since Chris Farley had died before they finished production.
His original design looks like the lost media Shrek
@@Nintendofan91Chris Farley was supposed to voice shrek??
@@kyle1751 yeah
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooioo
Shrek in movie: I most ugly creatures
Original Shrek:...
😂😊
Ops..I meant 😂😅
Fun fact: Shrek's design was inspired by Fungus the Boogeyman
Maybe that kid’s fairytale story took a movie adaptation
Dreamworks pulled a Disney
But In the original kids book the donkey didn't talk, and the princess want an ogre. And in puss and boots tlw shreck was nowhere to be seen. So there is a Shrek multiverse!!! The shrek-verse if you will.
Yes it’s a book just like the little mermaid and Hercules, they’ve made those in to movies.
Sowing seeds in your soil and using the same type to plant in a different area will give the soil a chance to absorb the nutrients and nutrients
Ik that, it was in the library as a kid.
That sheep also looks a lot like the original design

Some movies but not every 💀💀💀

The story goes so much more deeper
Theres one problem in your claim, Shrek is the most beautiful creature, not scary nor ugly
When I was a kid in the 90s I was read that fairy tale oddly enough right before Shrek came out
😂lol😂
I’ve read the Shrek story book. It’s a little bit like the movie, but not quite.
At my school my class has the book 💀💀💀💀
Damn Thats Trippy
Its giving me goosebumps !!!
🤣🤣🤣
It's like they took Cinderella and made it into a movie. They took Pinocchio and made it to a movie. And maybe they're gonna do a live action. Shrek movie like it did to Cinderella.

See I was agreeing till you said Fiona was uglier than Shrek 😂
Fiona was never ugly she's hot as an ogre
Just before Mike Myers voice shrek, Chris Farley only auditioned as shrek before, he passed away in 1997.
Well at least at the end he said
"SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME THE WOR-"
This is a pure Gem and it's still original like Smash Brothers
That multiversal plot is it's own thing these characters all have new experiences from it making it new and original in that way
During development of Shrek 2, Dama Fortuna was based on the witch from the original kids book, eventually replaced by Fairy Godmother.
I read that book in 3rd grade
No way😭
The book is cedited in the movie credits. "Based on the book by William Steig."
True the greatest stories comes from a book thats true
20:09 that’s impressive, considering you were supposed to use the koopa shell to break the blocks and it would get the coin for you
I remember the book being in our library in elementary school and me and my little friends would giggle at the part in the book where he calls the donkey a jabbering jackals.
I just had a dream I had the orge triplets for a week or something and they where actually cute😭 and I had to keep saving them from trouble and in the end I I took them safely to Fionna then woke up😅 it was an literal movie❤

Y’all know what?
Spider-Man wasn’t a original movie, they took it from a comic book ‘The Amazing Spider-Man ‘😮
And it was voiced by the late great Chris Farley may he rest in Peace.
Steven Spielberg bought the rights to Shrek! In 1991 planning on making an animated movie, eventually he brought the rights to DreamWorks in 1994 to make it a reality.
Shrek the movie released in 2001, and had been in production for 4 and a half years beforehand. Everything fits.
Well surprisingly Dreamworks does this a lot with some of their movies.
Fun fact: the original Shrek model was supposed to be the book model, but they script that idea
It has some similarities but no the book is very different
Its because the creator of the movie liked the book alot so he decided to make a movie about, and there was also a pilot for the movie, actually more of a test animation that looks more like the book shrek
I’m a true 90s kid I was born in 1981 and I still never heard of Shrek until the movies came out It’s just not a book I ever heard about or seen anywhere growin’ up
Bruh Fiona looks beautiful as hell in her ogre form don’t lie
Shrek is just a monster in the book
Shrek is not ugly he’s beautiful!
That's not the writers and the creators said.
People who pay attention to the credits: I'm five steps ahead of you.
The movie is more like a parody of fairy tales including the Shrek book,
with Princess Fiona being both the beauty and beast.
Bro, that princess freaks me out
Wow, almost like how every movie ever is based off of something.
You do realize, almost all movies are based on books, games, and pictures, right? Harry Potter and How to Train Your Dragon are both based on the book series of the same name, and the emoji movie… do I need to say anything?

shrek was a german anti tank gun from ww2 back then his name was panzerschreck
I knew that. A long time ago, I even read the book. I think it may have been a library book.
My grandpa got me that book when I was a kid 😭
The book: ogres look ugly
The movie: ogres are handsome
This literally describes the ogres’ designes.
I had a teacher read this to me and my classroom as a child we were all like 😮 😂
Two words: PUBLIC DOMAIN.
That might be where they got the plot for the movie from it’s exactly the same thank you for telling us I’ve been researching this plot for about 3.5 years because in my attic I have that book I used to read it as a kid and that’s what got my interest in the subject
Actually, the Shrek character was made in Russia year 1200
Same with How To Train Your Dragon 🐲
I always wondered if Shrek was the Ogre from The Flea. Every character like Pinocchio and Gingy are from original fairy tales.
I assumed the vest that Shrek wears is the skin of that Flea. Because i don't know of an animal in the forest where Shrek lives that has skin like that.
& another thing, Shrek originally had an design that looked similar to the one on/in the 1990 book
the creepy songs atracts my demons
The movie Shrek was an official adaptation of the book.
Dreamworks has said this
Probably should’ve learned this in elementary school but I ended up learning in my 8th grade drama class 😂
Thus the popular meme from a book became a cinematic success unlike SpongeBob
Wait til bro finds out about Dracula, Harry Potter, Hunger Games, American Psycho, Lord of The Rings, a bunch of other stuff
The Lawsuit:
I found that book in my library he has red eyes and other stuff and he kills and I think takes there life
So I was watching Shrek and it actually inspired a movie director so that's why they made shrek
The shrek iceberg...
but Shrek movie is way more Hot then the book
I didn't know Shrek was a kid's book until I watch this😂
He looks like how he looks like in his original animation 1995. 😮 Search it up on RUclips
There’s a thing called “book adaption”
DreamWorks didn't even exist when that book was made
I have the honor of owning this book and it is wild
I have this book! Bought it from my library as a kid
NO WAY
I saw that book at my schools library and me and my freinds used to joke about it
I read this story in second grade, it was very different from the other stuff I was reading but I thought it was neat that I got to read the original story.
That's probably what they were going to make the Chris Farley version from. In fact I think I heard something along those lines before 😊.
And also did you guys know that when they were making the shrek movie they made a different shrek it wasn’t like the one we know in love, it was ugly for them so they changed it
When DreamWorks wanted to make a feature film of the book, Steig agreed - and, in a Boston Globe interview, said he received $500,000 for the rights, less than he expected. still original
I remember seeing my little brother with the book he got from the library
Bro the creator of the movie bought the rights to the book
I mean… a lot of Dreamworks Movies are based off of Books, Toys, and More
That makes a lot of sense because the first design of shreck looked exactly like the book character
Same case with the upcoming Wild Robot movie, lol
DreamWorks bought the rights to Shrek while founding their company decided to use it after a couple movies
It's just an adaptation
Hmmmm 🤔 the original Shrek looks like a “Bergen” from trolls. Shrek is from dreamworks…..Trolls is from dreamworks….. hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I actually noticed that😂
