Plz send this to Jacksfilms I need his validation as a Shrek critiquer
I CHALLENGE YOU TO MAKE A DISNEY'S LION KING RUclips POOP FOR THE LION KING LIFE-ACTION MOVIE RELEASE!!!
Do it
No
You should make an Emoji Movie analysis video for Jacksfilms.
Amazing analysis as always just wanted to point out the instrumental shrek tracks are also amazing, the song that plays when shrek and donkey are in the shed transforming is a sort of reprise of "eating alone" or whatever, that fucking GOLDEN song that plays when shrek is...eating, alone...and when shrek and donkey are talking under the stars, so the fact that they have continuity between the INSTRUMENTAL BACKGROUND MUSIC only adds to shrek 2's stardom
"Shes a princess and you're an ogre, that's something no amount of potion is ever going to change"
-a lady who made a frog a king
Plus one sin on the sin counter
She just didn't want to change Shrek physically to suit his needs because her plan was to have her son Prince Charming marry Fiona
And that's why I like her. Evil asf
@@FortunateFox_ not really because it's totally consistent with her character to lie about that in order to get what she wants because she's a duplicitous piece of shit.
In a way, Fiona is the bestiality love child of a frog and a princess
Growing up as a kid I thought “holding out for a hero” was made specifically for shrek 2 because it was the first time I ever heard it and it was just that perfect of a fit
Same
honestly yea me too
Same lol
Same. Also "I'm a believer" from the first Shrek. It fits so well with the theme of the movie that I got surprised that it wasn't made for it
I think I was under that impression for all the songs in the first two movies
The fact that Puss in Boots got his own movie is proof that Shrek 2 left an undeniable impact on the franchise since he wasn’t introduced in the first Shrek movie but the sequel.
I think the fact that Far Far Away was the main setting for the rest of the trilogy shows enough how impactful it was on the Shrek franchise
This hits on a new level since there is another PiB movie and no word on the rumored Shrek 5 reboot but I think Forever After had a grand finale Shrek doesn't need to flanderize himself like Homer,Peter,Goku,and Rick Sanchez he left a positive impact on society and that's what really matters
I thought Puss was weakest part of 2, his character, his inclusion into the "crew" it's so half baked, if 2 had ANY flaw it was how they handled him.
how did I never realize he wasn’t in the first movie?? Am I crazy?? Literally how. That’s nuts 😂
Pussy's film is both a thematic and commercial impact of Shrek franchise, but Far Far Away and grounding even more in love and self value as the main theme of the trilogy is the real impact of Shrek 2.
The Holding Out for a Hero scene is so unequivocally, absolutely, unironically perfect
Clever name, but what have you done with Ann A
We have a problem. Shrek 2 is absolutely the best application of this song, but there is one thing that stands in it's way. Tetris (not the game, the movie). It's application of the song is alright, but it has 2 remixes of the song, which are both better than Shrek 2's cover! One has to win. We have to fight for Shrek 2! Together! (No discredit to Tetris tho, still a great movie)
It legit always brings me to tears. Even 20 years later.
My brother is the only person I know who isn't actually a fan of "I need a hero", because when he was like 4, he was absolutely devastated when the giant gingerbread died, and suffers from ptsd whenever he hears the song
This is the only reason I will accept and completely agree with
Okay fair enough, but you should at least tell him Mongo survived because he sings a single verse in the ending song (I forgot the name).
Wait I thought I only had one sibling
OMG NOOO
@@caeleeschoeman2340 imagine me and the test if my siblings jamming out, and then my brother sadly sitting down staring blankly off into space, like a soldier remembering the war.
We ALL know that the scene in Shrek 2 where Fairy Godmother is singing “Holding out for a Hero” is a *SUPERIOR* scene.
Moonskies movie*
@@moonskies I dont wanna be that guy but *Insert emotional Wall-E scene here*
Its the best scene. Not of the movie, not of the franchise, not even of dreamworks. It is simply the best scene.
IT'S DEFINITELY SUPERIOR TO ALL MOVIE END CREDIT SCENE OF ALL TIME AND ALWAYS WILL BE!!!
That cover was better than the original song
I Just had a massive realization that the muffin man from shrek 2 is probably one of the most powerful/threatening forces in the far far away/the shrek universe. like, the man was able to create mongo, a colossul gingerbread man that a whole castle guard had trouble fighting, and then you realize he made him in the span of a few minutes (the ball already started before shrek and crew got to him). so, he could potentially create a whole army of them and that is hilarious, imagine the rumbling from Attack on Titan but with gingerbread men.
Lmao
Dude, finally someone who recognizes the menace that the Muffin Man is. And the dude was never a villain in the Shrek franchise. Complete chad, just baking cookies.
Eh, sometimes you gotta think outside of the box when usurping the throne
@@nunosantos4217maybe he’s banned from buying dough so he has to buy from dough dealers
Lord Farquaad wanted to take out the muffin man. He knew that if he didn’t find and eliminate the muffin man, that he wouldn’t be able to keep his power. The muffin man always finds a way.
If Shrek 1 is a classic, Shrek 2 is a masterpiece.
I think they are both masterpieces and classics.
@@skylerboyce2597 A fair assessment.
No debate there.
I like Shrek 1 better
I love the fact that at the end of Shrek 1, Shrek accepts that he is an ogre. He doesn’t hate to be one anymore.
But in Shrek 2’s finale he actually chooses to be one. He finally likes and wants to be himself.
:') tearing up a bit, ngl
Now that is a good character arc
And in Shrek 4, he feels like he isn't himself anymore that maybe he was better before, only to learn that he actually has an almost perfect life, that he actually loved his friends, wife and children.
@@davisdf3064 Yeah! But we do not include Shrek 3 right?
@@ladynoname3621 there is no Shrek 3 in Ba Sing Se
I never thought a guy with tamatoa as his profile picture would give a emotional speech
I entirely expected tomatoa to give a legendary speech
an
TAMATOA IS LEGENDARY and I like trains
*An* emotional speech.
Grammar, Yurï.
A small character detail that I also love is that Fiona isn't just some oblivious, innocent damsel in this whole situation with Prince Charming. Like sure, she kind of goes along because the whole experience is new and confusing and she isn't exactly sure who to trust -- but she knows herself and her relationship with Shrek so well that she trusts her gut, while also knowing to wait for the right time to act on her intuition.

@@theAstarrr you missed the joke
14:40 Puss saying “I hate Mondays” was one of my favourite jokes in the movie.
It's so validating when you realize that the classic films you grew up with turn out to be well-crafted and thought-out masterpieces that stand the test of time.
So, nobody’s gonna mention that the wolf is reading a magazine of pigs in a bikini called “pork illustrated”?

Wolfy-boy really does want pigs... but not for the reasons that wolves usually want them!!!
I just rewatched Shrek 2 and was surprised by how well-paced it was. No one’s dwelling on a misunderstanding or is spending too much time sad. Instead, Shrek and his friends act intelligently and move the plot along when they're supposed to. I could believe the movie was almost over when the Fairy Godmother gave King Harold the love potion.
I’ll never forget the sight of my mum falling out of her chair laughing at the pepper grinder in lieu of pepper spray during the cop chase parody.
About the King being the Frog Prince, When he enters The Poison Apple, a Female Frog asks The King if she knows him. The King gets nervous and says that she must be thinking of someone else. This implies that before he became king, he left her as a frog to be with The Queen. Damn.
OMG I never picked up on that!! Even when I rewatched the movie I never payed attention to that detail!
Woah.
Yeah I remember that foreshadowing. That was fantastic.
O
@Kelly Betita Well I'm guessing that was a reference to The Princess and The Frog, so that must be the Princess
Why did Schaffrillas saying “You deserve Happily Ever After” hit so hard man I didn’t want to cry over a Shrek 2 review but I guess here we are
If you cant cry over the movie, you will cry over giant coconut crab giving a shrek 2 reveiw
I relate holy crap! I never thought about the story of Shrek 2 until I saw this video, and it helps me think about myself as a better person!!
Same, this dude speaks well
Same. That whole section got me tearing up, especially with the Dear Evan Hansen reference.

This might sound stupid, but this is the video that solidified my love of Shrek 2, taking its place as my favorite movie of all time- which all my friends know as a staple of my personality.
I’ve been watching your videos for years, and god, this tragedy is just… I can’t even fucking imagine what you, your family, and everybody who was lucky enough to know Patrick and Chris must be going through right now. We don’t even know if you’re gonna be okay. I really, really hope so. If there’s any chance you see this, I just want you to know how big of an impact your, Patrick, and Chris’s channel has had on me. It’s meant a lot, man.
I’m so fucking sorry for the losses of your brother and best friend. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with your family.
Thank you, Schaffrillas.

@@krampuspudding He got into a car crash with his best friend, Chris, and his brother, Patrick. He was the only one to survive. I believe he’s currently in the hospital. We’re all wishing him and their families the very best
the ending to this video is still the best thing schaffrillas has ever done. absolutely soul-touching and extremely genuine while tying so perfectly into the thematic depth of Shrek 2. masterpiece of a video

Hey Schaff, I had just finished watching this video when a friend of mine told me what had happened... My deepest, most sincere condolences. I know this probably doesn't mean much coming from a stranger on the internet, and I know many of us can not even begin to understand the grief and pain you are experiencing, but I hope your physical injuries heal quickly. Most important of all, I hope your mental and spiritual wounds heal, however long that may take. You are a talented, thoughtful content creator, and your work has made me smile, even when it was hard to do so. Thank you for giving us the gift of reprieve from our own hardships. I hope you too will someday have reprieve from the pain of loss. Wishing you all the best.
He's left such an impact, i agree wholeheartedly... and with all that he's done i believe he can rest easy and can take all the time he needs to grieve.
I just noticed... I'm heartbroken. I wish I'd known sooner. You put in great words.

Fun Fact: Smash Mouth's "All Star" was originally used as a placement for another song, but since it was so well-received by test screening audiences, they decided to keep it in Shrek 1's opening.
That is indeed a fun fact!
Which song?

Idk. They just used All Star as a placement for some other potential song. Idk what they had in mind originally.
Maggie Shannon oh ok (also I see what you said before you edited it :))
@@mirandazhang1359
Yeah. At first I was confused, but then realized what you were actually asking, so I went back & edited it.
My favorite video of this channel, still go back to it sometimes. Heard the news, can't imagine what it is like to go through. Wish the best for James and the future of this channel.
And what’s great is that through the whole movie Shrek and Fiona still loved each other. They just had trouble getting onto the same page because they were fighting different battles at the same time (Fiona dealing with abandonment issues from her parents leaving her in a tower, and Shrek’s self worth worsening again by being discriminated against constantly), the only thing stopping them from working out these issues together were the other characters keeping them apart. Once they were reunited in the end they were as strong as ever. It’s so easy for writers to just completely break down the relationship in the first movie so they can rebuild again it in the sequel. But it just cheapens the love when they do that. I’m so glad they didn’t go that far for this movie and it just about Shrek realizing he DOES deserve happiness.

I don't think there's ever been a more influential movie in my life. Grew up with these movies... Loved them as a kid even if they were so deep we didn't fully understand them as kids...
But as you grow up (I'm now a college student), they still hit. They're relatable. I am an autistic person and have struggled a lot with identity, these movies that were with me most of my life, have always been there to relate to and they've actually helped me through things.
Through self-doubt, through being unable to accept myself for who I am, to struggling socially, or with relationships, or being alone... Or always feeling like I'm not good enough
They're phenomenal, truly.
Didn't think I would ugly cry from the raw emotion and realism that they put into Shrek but just shows how compelling the story really is with great characters and message. It can be funny but also hit hard with emotion since a lot of the obstacles they experience we as people in a society have faced in some form or other which makes it all the more impactful.
It's almost midnight and I'm crying because of Shrek's character arc

Shreksona 5 sounding pretty lit.
i hadn’t heard most of the songs in shrek and shrek 2 when i watched the movies so i just…. assumed they were original songs for shrek. i still convince myself that all star isn’t just a popular soundtrack song
I legitimately thought the ending song for shrek one was written for that scene
The fairy godmother scene is just... epic, the best one i have seen in any movie i watched so far. She's happy singing and trying to complete her plan, but during this time Shrek also tries to get into the castle while nobody suspects it, fights the guards and then during the culmination takes Fairy Godmother's "Happily Ever After", ironic that she wanted to take Shrek's but her own got taken.

Seeing Shrek 2 in my local theater in 2004 was the best experience I've ever had watching a movie. The atmosphere was something else. Everyone was laughing so much the chairs got soiled. It can't be coincidence they were replaced shortly after!
It's easily the best animated film ever made, and the best comedy. I've seen it a few times since and it's still hilarious.
Shrek 3 is terrible, but I always thought the reason they played Live and Let Die at the funeral was because it was John Cleese's character, and he was in a bond film. It makes a better fit than Die another Day, even if that was the one he was in.
Shrek 3 was okay.
There is no Shrek 4.
Bruh shrek 2 is nowhere near the best animated movie. Let me introduce you to The Prince of Egypt.
yall finna stop hating on shrek 3 😂
Since I was 17, I loved the voices of
Rupert Everett as Prince Charming,
Jennifer Saunders as the Fairy Godmother,
John Cleese as The King
and Julie Andrews as The Queen
I did NOT expect Shrek 2 would become THAT deep oof
Very unfortunately, The Blockbuster Buster, Cartoon Palooza would and et cetera et cetera would be all like “You’re giving Shrek 2 way too much credit, it’s not at all THAT deep!” if he saw it. Even if they didn’t dislike Shrek 2, they reviewed it unfairly to make people look like it has more flaws than people see, as if they were any more insightful when it makes them look like the people that look for things to complain about in many DreamWorks Animation movies that they are. Hell, Cartoon Palooza even went as far as to say that without Shrek 2, Shark Tale wouldn’t have been the way it is! Shrek 2 could’ve been a positive influence on Shark Tale to make it an amazing movie, but how Shark Tale turned out executed to be the disaster (no pun intended) it is will always be a mystery since it has all the potential to be as great as people make it out to be in retrospect, potential and nostalgia.

I haven’t even watched this video yet and I already agree.

Expands on the world building in such a satisfying way. Brilliant.
And years later, they make another perfect sequel in the same franchise with Puss in Boots 2.
Both fantastic sequels, and honestly some of the best animated films ever made.
I'd argue that it is even too good to be a perfect sequel, because he is so better than the first one and does not even need to carry themes or characters from the first one

*(Apparently)*
I mean... if Fiona is under no illusions over Fairy Godmother's motives... she could be throwing shade.
Also... what was the likelihood that King Harold had a witch in his court. If all she heard are that witches are magical ladies who do bad things, so being victim of a magical lady doing a bad thing could have made her assume Fairy Godmother was a witch.
Or, Fairy Godmother gaslit the family into believing that a witch did it. Or she could have orchestrated it and hired a witch to not be technically personally responsible.
Ok, EXTREMELY important, and I don’t see ANYONE discussing it, the happily ever after potion affects both Shrek and Fiona, even if shrek is the only one who drinks it, by this logic, when donkey drank it and became a horse, WHAT DID THE DRAGON TURN INTO.
I don’t know, a phoenix maybe?
Lizard, idek
I think there was a deleted scene where it was revealed the dragon turned into a pegasus. But no one gives a source on this so I'm bot sure

i didn't expect to cry today while watching this video... but the last 5 minutes of it really hit me hard. thank you schaffrillas for making this video. i know to you it might just seem like you made a video on your favorite movie, but to me... this is a video that changed my life. i know i sound cheesy, but it's true. i've never felt like i'm good enough and hearing those words... that last 5 minute segment... that really helped me. thank you💕
Fun fact, John Cleese's real name is technically Cheese. His dad enrolled in WW1 and changed it to Cleese because I think he didn't find Cheese fitting for the army
wow
I guess you could say that he "Cut the Cheese"
Ba dum tsss
General Cheese
@@tigertim620 GET THIS MAN A NETFLIX SPECIAL!
You could've made a cheese shop reference and i am disappointed you didn't (that is if you know monty python)
that whole section with "I need a hero" still gives me major goose bump
I have that song on my mp3!
I have to admit he's wrong about how Shrek 2 uses it better
just no
just no
@@declicitous1763 explain yourself
@@oaksynia7353 Would shrek have come up with I need a hero? Possibly not.
Also Im an idiot
@@linda10989 Me too! And my family hates me for that!
You know it's a good scene when the mere mention of its name gives you chills.
This video is an absolute classic, the perfect sequel points are absolutely accurate and I'm currently using them in my analysis of Thief 2 in my next script. Love this channel, this video and the Assassins reference.
One of my favorite moments in the "Holding Out for a Hero" moment is near the end and we get this epic as hell transition/character moment for Puss. When FGM sings the line: "He's gotta be larger than life" and we see Puss jump down ready to face the guards as the trumpet solo plays. Shrek, and Donkey, try to go back for him but Puss tells them to go on to repay his debt. But, we know this isn't about his debt, this is a man (cat?) willingly putting his life on the line so his friend can save his wife and you can hear it in his voice that he is willing to die for him. For an ogre, he only knew for a day or two, one he was hired to kill and has shown him nothing but mercy, humor, and determination for his loved ones, a trait that he himself has long forgotten until he met a monster that earned his happy ending. Shrek was the hero of the film, but Puss in Boots was Shrek's hero.
p.s., I was literally holding back tears while writing this because of how goddamn moving Puss' heroics was mixed with epic music.
Bro..when that scene happen and he made the cute eyes I was like aawww BUT THEN THEY HIT YOU WITH THE CHOIR SINGING THE AAAS AND PUSS IS LIKE BATTLING THEM I WAS LIKE OMG ok I’m sorry but I completely understand.
God damn I love seeing these philosophical paragraphs in the comment section
Dude, I was holding back tears reading this shit
@@tomieeyes Dude! Thanks.
how dare you make me kinda sorta cry :')
can’t believe it took me this long to realize Doris was voiced by Larry King
RIP to a literal king 😔
Rip
F
RIP, The next Shrek movie will never be the same without him.. ❤😔
DID LARRY KING FUCKING DIE
@@milagroscabrera5304 he got decapitated
Seriously...a big thank you for how you ended this and addressed everyone personally about how we matter. I've been going through a lot and there's a lot of people hating on me when I'm just trying to do my best, and well - what you said, it helped.
Hey Schafrilla, I don’t know why it took me so long to get to this video. Your points you made resonate so strangely personally with me it makes me feel like I was listening to an old friend telling me to never give up. As a theater kid who has been made akin to Shrek and even PLAYED shrek in the musical version has really been a big part of my identity I hold dear to myself. I’m reminded to believe in myself and to listen to good music. Just thank you for doing what you do
Fun fact: One Friday we skipped all classes to watch Shrek 2 and not even the teachers regret it
my french teacher this week let us ignore all work and watch ratatouille it was great
@@dayquildrinker420 damn that's cool
My English teacher once let us watch The Incredibles with English subtitles for the entire lesson! It was great.
I think your teachers could've made an assignment on where those characters come from, like Pinocchio, Gingerbread Man, Puss in Boots, Red Riding Hood, The Three Little Pigs, Sleeping Beauty, Tom Thumb, Thumbelina, Hansel and Gretel, Snow White, Peter Pan, Robin Hood, and the Frog Prince.
My art teacher in late Primary School showed us several Ghibli movies on the basis of them being art (and he was correct). Thank you based teacher

It's extremely hard to watch this movie again due to how different Puss in Boots is in this compared to The Last Wish.
He grew, a lot, that's the point of the two movies Puss in Boots
@@blade7y156 I'm not saying Puss in Boots in Shrek 2 is bad, far from it. I'm just so attached to the one from The Last Wish, to the point where I can't even look at the Shrek 2 Puss. It's like how vastly different Amity is in season 2 and 3 of Owl House compared to season 1.
@@zacharygate9842 I get your point
@@zacharygate9842 This comment right here becomes more and more truthful as I'm rewatching the entirety of Owl House (though not *all* of Season 1 Amity was an asshole)
@@valenzuelasstudios1838 I should've specified. I meant Amity up until the Grom episode.
The last part of your video made me cry. 😭 It was really touching. Thanks for that beautiful conclusion. ♡
The fact that Shrek 2 makes an O.J. Simpson reference is so ballsy and bold yet it works
what was the OJ Simpson reference
@@jackhamilton9604 the "knights" scene where it said "we've got a white bronco headed east. requesting backup". it referred to the infamous OJ white bronco car chase
So you admit shark tale is ballsy and bold... “o.j shrimpson”
The scene in which Puss gets arrested with "cat powder" is also great
@@InvictusTahir it also made an Alien reference
Fun fact the people at Dreamworks were originally going to make an original song for the first scene in Shrek 1 and the All Star version was an animation test but then the they decided that All Star fit so well with the scene that they decided to get the rights from Smashmouth
Mallard Duck/JRH thank god they didn’t use the shrek one
Gaming Wizard indeed
holy
someBODY
Best decision ever!
Bro still my favorite Shrek movie of all time.
I'm so happy that shrek 2 got so much of the attention it deserved. When I watched it for the first time as a kid it was genuinely the best thing I'd ever seen lmao, and I watched it a billion times after cuz I loved it so much
