I've never watched Shrek 3 so I just assumed Pinocchio got shrunken down at some point in the story, like I thought it HAD to be intentonal. How did they even get it this bad?
If there was a teaser poster that asked "Who's in for the Royal Treatment?" with Shrek and Artie shown only, it'd probably fit well with the king story arc but who knows.
@@discount-dracula I may or may not have a hyper fixation. Now please enjoy my follow-up video on why the social media marketing for Shrek in 2016 was the greatest thing ever made. See this is totally things to talk about right?? Right??
@@chazington1073 Not even Shrek had his own 3DS Nintendo Video spin-off film. This puts him on the same pedigree as the real man’s culture, Charlie the Unicorn and Dinosaur Office.
I feel like the deceptiveness of the first poster was intentional and that's one of the praises I can actually give this movie. You think it's going to be about Shrek having to deal with becoming king, the opening sets that up, and then bam here comes the plot point of Shrek abandoning the position laid out for him and learning he's going to become a father. I also really like how he's the only one not smiling in the poster, showing that fish out of water thing 2 set up that's gonna play into the first act of this. My biggest gripe with it is why isn't _CHARMING_ there?? He's literally the main antagonist and he was a huge highlight of the second one, which I think would make people want to see it even more. Have him peep over the featureless void everyone's standing on with envy or behind the S or something. Moreover why isn't he on the poster but GINGY is???
@@rudevoices9204 Charming was totally shafted in the marketing. He wasn’t even one of the McDonald’s toys. It’s like they were embarrassed they didn’t have a new villain or something.
The most jarring thing in the running poster for me is the fact that, despite them trying to put Dragon far in the background, they put her in front of the three, which creates an unintentional size comparison between the two. This leaves one to wonder; if Dragon is that small compared to it, *how big is that three?*
Japanese poster looks like something AI would generate if you asked it for detailed Shrek movie poster. Composition, strange perspective, lots of random stuff in the background trying to fake details are very AI things to do
Not to mention, the Shrek model used on the running posters was actually the model from the U.K. DVD artwork of the first Shrek movie with a crown plastered onto him
Honestly? In a sea of content-farming RUclips channels that soullessly go through the motions and shoehorn in coverage of more current media to appease the algorithm, this video is such a breath of fresh air. You're clearly passionate about the subject matter, and dammit, you're going to talk about it, views or no views. Respect. (And *hard* agree about the weirdly skinny 3 in some of these; no idea what they were doing there.)
13:13 I remember I used to have a bootleg DVD that had that poster in the cover lol,it’s been AGES since I last saw it and it was just buried in my memory
Dude never stop I love hearing how passionate you are about this franchise and how much it means to you. I have franchises I really enjoy with almost no way to express it so I’m glad you found an outlet
I've never encountered your channel before, but I love everything about it. There's nothing more heartwarming than a person who likes what they like without fear.
Apparently, Ice Age 6 is not being release in the summer but instead December of 2026. Anyhow, Shrek the third's marketing was everywhere and no one could escape it!!
I still think the posters for Shrek Forever After are worse, especially stuff like banners that had a weird mix of renders and Shrek always having the same facial expression in all of them and the simplistic cloud background being in all of them
16:57 it's also nice that the sharp cuts between their portraits symbolise their separation in the movie! but i'm disappointed the DVD cover still doesn't include Artie...
@@GreatgunYu It’s good! Great composition considering all the renders were originally used separately. And boy that cover for Shrek the Third…some Dreamworks animator worked overtime for that solid render!
I think more people around the world would go and watch the movie with the “bad poster” than the “royal outfit shrek poster”, because they don’t have a reference point. It just “shrek” to them.
Regarding the first Dhrel 3 theatrical poster, maybe they tried to pull a Scream on us, where they try to make you think they're going to do the Drew Barrymore protagonist route just to psyche you and pull a 180°. But honestly, I would've prefered seing Shrek try to be king, just imagine the mayhem!
Would've been a MUCH stronger film. The original draft for Shrek 2 had him running for president...why not dust that off and use some it? Dreamworks was sitting on gold and they weaved it into bronze.
@@gnarwhal7562 Fun fact: I was named Austin after my dad saw Spy Who Shagged Me. Truly I am DOOMED to be forever intertwined with Mr. Meyers. Just wait until this channel reaches my “Love Guru” phase.
The running Shrek on the Shrek 3 Poster looks like he was just reused from another alternate Shrek 1 poster (I think it's the European version or smth), but with a crown photoshopped on. And even tho the Shrek 3 "running" poster looks really bad, the Shrek one I think is actually good and my favorite one out of all of them. Unfortunate that you didn't mention it.
I like the movie Shrek the third, but man all these posters suck, the only posters I like are the first poster with Shrek in his king suit with the crown, and the second Japanese poster for Shrek the third, that’s it 17:46 also I’m surprised you found a bootleg Shrek the third dvd, I bet your probably gonna review some bootleg Shrek dvds huh? Also that cover on the bootleg looks worst than the official posters for Shrek the third😂
Those are absolute classics. A Shrek would’ve been great. Come to think of it we never did get an illustrated Shrek poster. Everything was a 3D render.
ive never had a youtuber wish me a happily ever after before but i appreciate it much more than i thought i would

i think this guy likes Shrek
Maybe.
nah
Maybe a little teeny bit.
I dont think so
nah I think he likes megamind
Thank you for having the courage to speak on such a controversial topic
The "Shrek-jumping-over-number3" poster was used in Brazil. I remember seeing it at the mall.
Brasil!!!
Exclusive shresh content
BRASIL!!!!!🇧🇷
It was also the cover used in bootleg dvds for Shrek 3.
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
The amount of layers to his shrekspertise is just amazing
The sizing of the characters are so bad in the running poster. WHY IS PINOCCHIO SO TINY LOL
@@OceanCat he’s a real small boy.
@@austin_the_brimstone but he looks smaller than Gingy what the hell 😭😭😭😭
the size looks correct on the Japanese poster though
And because they put the dragon in front of the number 3, she's tiny too.
I've never watched Shrek 3 so I just assumed Pinocchio got shrunken down at some point in the story, like I thought it HAD to be intentonal. How did they even get it this bad?

this the level of neurodivergency that i'm looking for in a guy
The "Shrek jumping over the number 3" one was the cover of my bootleg mexican copy of the movie lmao that's the one I remember the most

call it a hunch if you want, but i think this guy might just be a huge fan of Shrek.
That's a stretch
Personally I HATE the Shrek 4 poster because for some ungodly reason Shrek's head is turned directly at the viewer despite looking at Rumpelstiltskin.
looks like they had no idea what they wanted to do with these posters
Apparently, Ice Age 6 is not being release in the summer but instead December of 2026. Anyhow, Shrek the third's marketing was everywhere and no one could escape it!!
I think releasing it around December works since the Ice Age films takes place in a snowy environment
Both Shrek the Third and Spider-Man 3 were everywhere back in 2007. They were both super hyped but ended up as disappointed outings
@juancl7658 but what about pirates of the Caribbean: at world's end,transformers 07,ratatouille,and die hard 4?
Ice age 6?!? Didn't BlueSky go bankrupt??
I remember getting the happy meal toys for the movie.
The bootleg cover is a legend.

16:57 it's also nice that the sharp cuts between their portraits symbolise their separation in the movie!
but i'm disappointed the DVD cover still doesn't include Artie...
The Third might be bad for majority of the fans, but the scene where the Princesses storming the castle was gold. The only reason why I watched it.
Finally someone who genuinely likes shrek as a franchise
You sound like Homestar Runner
I was actually sad this video ended. Something about this guys narration and looking at weird posters is oddly satisfying.
@@thedailyembarassment Oh don’t worry I could talk about Shrek for years…I likely will! Send help…😅
The Japan one makes sense, but those 3 posters are way too simple
Edit: Shrek jumping over 3 is classic but why is the 3 skinny
I actually like the original Shrek 2 dvd cover than the poster. The Shrek the third dvd group cover is really nice as well.
@@GreatgunYu It’s good! Great composition considering all the renders were originally used separately. And boy that cover for Shrek the Third…some Dreamworks animator worked overtime for that solid render!

"Girls Gone Midieval" yeah....wouldnt expect less from 2007.
9:00 why Pinocchio so smal?!??!

Don’t tell me you had to explain the worst poster in 20 minutes
My favorite Shrek poster was always the one where they're running at the camera with the dragon's fire behind them
