There are many hints about Fiona's father being the Frog Prince (frog kissed by a princess and becoming human) besides the one you caught about the other talking frog at the bar recognizing him: - His bedsheets and furniture are green - There are paintings of lilypads on his walls. - The Queen mentions their first date by the lily pond. - The Queen's name is Lillian and he calls her "Lilly". - The Fairy Godmother threatens to send him back to the pond.
@@cemaciek Yes, ogre. Not sure why I typed "troll" but "ogre" is what I meant. But still, an ogre is not a "giant humanoid frog". Those are two different things. And Fiona is not an Ogre - she is a human turned into an ogre.
#%$#^^!!!!! I was watching the NBA championship game and they cut away for an hour of the white ford bronco doing 20mph for a few miles.....We were screaming at the TV to put the championship game back on
"They'll write your name on the bathroom wall: 'For a happy ever after, give Fiona a call'" is still one of the wildest lyrics to ever be in a song in a kid's movie.
The Shrek movies were luckily still some of the last kid movies that properly understood the whole Don Bluth philosophy, I don't remember the exact quote but it's something to the effect of, "You can show kids very surprisingly violent or adult things in animation, just so long as the good guys *ALWAYS* win at the end." And it's very true. As long as a young child gets the happy ending and proper resolution, they don't mind and may even prefer a more interesting movie like that. Think of all the older cartoon movies we watched that had ridiculously adult things in them, like 'Who Framed Roger Rabbit' lol. Roger Rabbit has scenes and situations which are far filthier than anything in this movie, and I wish more movies still understood this and knew it was ok to push boundaries with kids stuff. Kids and adults both enjoy it!
@@KrazzeeKane In fairness, the melting the shoe scene and the death of the villain in Who Framed Roger Rabbit messed me up as a child, no matter how happy the ending XD
So in case you guys didn't know, the very very short "I hate Monday's" line from Puss is a very sly nod to another famous orange cat, Garfield :) I loved that they threw that in there. lol So many little things to look out for. This was a great sequel.
Puss in Boots is possibly the best supporting character in the franchise. He’s the missing part of the quartet that adds so much humor and swashbuckling to the series that he eventually got his own spin-off series. I love this film even more than the original.
@@dylanburton4955 Yes. 100% It wouldn’t be the same character at all without him. He carries the supporting role as if he’s the lead, which is what you want from Puss.
I had seen this aswell! Apparently writer and director Andrew Adamson said during a test screening when asked that Dragon turned into a Pegasus. Originally, Dragon was going to have a much larger role, but they thought it was unnecessary for the film. She would have had much to say and it would have been difficult to hide her pregnancy and they wanted that to be a surprise in the film.
I love this movie. My family and I even had a lot of laughs at the animated DVD menu, where Donkey suggests subtitles for the title, like ”Donkey Reloaded”, ”The Donkey’s Revenge”, and my favorite, ”The Real Jackass Movie”
Oh me and my friends sang along to the karaoke bonus feature where just about every character gets to do a song. I loved Charming's "Too Sexy for my Shirt"
The climax action scene will damn near forever be one of my favorite endings for an animated movie. I'll still go back and get hype with that song, probably the main reason I'd say 2 is better the the first. Not to mention everything about the "Knights" scene.
That "Knights" scene was really on point lol. I love that the joke kept up with the ethnicity of the VAs, how Donkey by Eddy Murphy yelled police brutality and was kneed by the police, Antonio Banderas as Puss got catnip planted on him, and Mike Myers as Shrek got peppered lol.
The "I Need A Hero" sequence is unironically one of the best scenes in animation history. Also, Shrek 2 is pure gold that expands the universe perfectly while still maintaining the lovable characters, the humor and a beautiful soundtrack.
It's a well-made sequence. I use it as an example for screenwriting all the time, especially the Puss In Boots "sacrificial" moment. The audience doesn't know he'll come back later, so it's an effective scene if his story ends there.
@@Foxtrot369 Eh. The point of the ‘ is a contraction. In this case, I contracted one letter. Though I will agree that the second apostrophe is unneeded.

You can continue with Puss in Boots and Puss in Boots 2 if you want. But I will say while Shrek 3 and 4 aren’t as good as 1 and 2, I still say they’re worth checking out to have a more solid appreciation of the franchise. I also think Shrek 4 DOES have legit merit to it, but yeah you need to watch Shrek 3 to understand what happens in it. Shrek 3 is kinda the Final Destination 4 of the Shrek movies. Not that great, but not SO bad that I think a reaction wouldn’t be worth it.
Guessing the viewership metrics will make watching the entire series a no-brainer. Plus the Internet loves a good tier list, and that would require them to watch 'em all...
Yay. Best Shrek movie. The third and fourth movies aren't as great as this but they're still worth a watch if you haven't seen them. They have some good moments in them.
You’re right on the money George, since the entire plot line with the parents is essentially Look Who’s Coming to Dinner. A 1960s drama about a woman bringing home her fiancé who happens to be black and how the parents struggle with their prejudice. And just as All Star is forever associated with Shrek, I need a Hero is forever linked with Shrek 2.
The Third is definitely the low point, but if you're willing to go all the way to the 4th and final one (so far), it's still a fun watch. In my opinion, Puss in Boots The Last Wish takes precedence over the two, then Kung Fu Panda 3 to finish that series, and then the rest of the HTTYD movies.
This movie will always be a favorite. My mom took me to see it after my first dog passed away. It helped so much and it's a comfort movie till this day.
Unfortunately, I’ve never given Shrek the third a chance. I’ve only seen clips of it when it was on TV and it didn’t impress me. I know the storyline to it but just from what others said about it, put me off and I just kept delaying myself from watching it. But I think I can bring myself to watch it now. I did however, really enjoy the 4th one.
Fairy Godmother is the best villain ever. If you connect the dots she had been working behind the curtains all the time. She granted Harold his wish to become human and turned him into a king, then she cursed his daughter so her son could save and marry her so she could be part of a royal family and rule the kingdom. It would've worked if Shrek didn't make it to the tower first.
Shrek The Third has hardly any of the random unexpected things you'd not expect to see where Shrek exists, like real world references, jokes for adults that kids wouldnt get, riffs on other films and pop culture stuff, and I felt it suffered for that. The fourth film, while no masterpiece, has a reasonable "be careful what you wish for" thing about it, and a brilliantly creepy little villian.
Yeah...one thing is for sure, with all the visual references in this one, it must be the most rewatchable of the Shrek movies. I spot new things every time I see it, and I have seen it quite a bit.
I highly recommend the fourth entry, SHREK FOREVER AFTER. And what's nice about it is you can follow it without having seen the third one, so feel free to skip that one, because it's bad.
The whole Mission: Impossible breakout scene with Pinocchio and Gingy was peak comedy when I was 12. Probably the only time I’ve ever rolled on the dirty theater floor laughing. But also no shame if that’s what’s makes you happy.😄
I really hope you guys watch all 4 movies, such a great franchise. And I am already arguing against the comments who will be saying to skip the 3rd one, for me the 3rd Shrek suffers from the same problem of the 3rd Godfather, is a good movie in a franchise of great movies, so every other movie is better, but I completely disagree with people who say they are bad movies or that you should skip them.
Yep. Shrek 4 is not the best in the trilogy (there was no Shrek 3!), but it's still a good movie. Puss in Boots: the last wish is as good as (or even better than) the first 2 Shrek, but the first Puss in Boots is "meh", not really worth a watch, even though it's not terribly bad. So I think they should watch Puss in Boots: the last wish and Shrek, and they don't need to watch more
Myers based the voice on his Scottish dad. Rawhide was a popular western tv show that Clint Eastwood got his start. The opening montage is all references. The vid camera thing is wonder years. The passionate kiss in the beach is from from here to eternity, etc.
The first Puss in Boots doesn't bring much to the plot or character development. It's not bad... but it's not really good either. It's "meh". I think it's very optional to watch the first one before watching the masterpiece that is Puss in Boots: the last wish.
"It would be the sweetest fight ever!" Now that there is some high quality Dad joke...uh huh...you betcha...that is some top notch stuff right there! 😜😁
This was so much fun! Thank you. Shrek 4 is a strong story. Shrek 3 is a bit weak but not awful. Watch them all please. Puss in Boots after Shrek 3 probably but they are disconnect enough that you can start now.
17:40 - So here we'll see that the potion affects also the loved one which means that somewhere Dragon also transformed into something beautiful because Donkey drank the potion but we don't get to see it. There are rumours that she was supposedly be a pegasus (not sure if it was in one original draft or deleted scene or just the writers saying it when asked after the movie came out).
Whoever said the later movies are cash grabby. Is insane. I like the 4th movie for a specific reason. The third or 4th will answer a question CineBinge reacts has asked since the first movie. Thus I definitely recommend all the movies in this series. :)
Even though Shrek 3 and 4 aren't as revered as the first two, I'd definitely say give them a watch. They both had a theatrical release and did relatively well, so they aren't as cash grabby as what you might stereotypically think of. There's still heartwarming moments and character growth moments. The humor is still pretty good too. I personally think the 4th is better than the 3rd and if I had to rank all of them I'd say Shrek 2,4, 1, 3. Honestly, the cash grabbiest aspect of the Shrek franchise was the holiday special and the Shrek the Musical. Those two are definitely a waste of time in my opinion. As far as the Puss in Boots movies are concerned they essentially bookend the Shrek franchise. The first Puss movie is his origin story so it could be considered a prequel to Shrek 1. The second Puss movie for sure happens after the Shrek movies and could be considered the finale of the series because it wraps up his character arc which didn't happen in the Shrek movies.
28:40 Don’t listen to whoever told you that the final Shrek film was “cash grabby”. The third one certainly was, but the last one, although not greatly received when it came out, is popularly looked backed upon as an amazing film (and completely made out of passion and desire to properly end the franchise). It might not be as funny as the first two (which doesn't really matter when it wasn't even trying to be), but it certainly is the most emotional one. Some people still stubbornly lump Shrek 4 with the third one (when most haven’t even rewatched it since it came out). They’re wrong. Skip Shrek 3, but please watch Shrek 4 (since it barely even acknowledges the third one).
You see, when a Dragon and a Donkey love each other very much they.....do a special kind of hug that only grown up Dragons and Donkeys do with each other.
Honestly, you could stop here, and go to Puss in Boots 1 and 2. You wont lose too much by going into just 2, but it's not too bad. And may elvate how good 2 is
Simone, George… Your channel has become a serious source of comfort for me. It helps soothe my anxiety so much and I get so much joy from watching you react to movies. Please keep up what you do. You both seem like such sweethearts in real life. Thanks for everything.
Hey guys!! Absolutely loved the reaction and really glad you liked the movie. This is one of my favorite comedies for sure. Oh and Simone....love all your opening phrases, so classic. You ought to put them all in a medley. 🤣🤣
I remember the trailer for this more than the movie itself, and I swear when Donkey is doing the pop noises, the final one is scored by the Jaws theme.
Yay! So happy you guys are continuing with this series! I personally really enjoy Shrek 3, it gets a bad wrap and I'm honestly not sure why. Definitely worth a watch I say! I love being in the Shrek world again (Far Far Away specially), and spending time with some princess 😉 That's all I'll say!
Who the hell is saying the rest of Shrek is terrible? I would put 3 just a little below the first, and the 4th somewhere between. None of them are terrible, in my opinion. I would say finish the next two, then hop onto puss.
One of the best sequels and most peak cinema memed movies besides SpongeBob ever. It gets a little crazy with so many characters and the references but it does stand out with the humor of making fun of fairytales and Disney. The soundtrack is pretty good too
Definitely watch the two more Shrek movies too! The story keeps evolving and lately I've seen lot of people say that the fourth one is their favorite. The third one may be a little weaker comparing to these two, but the last one is very good. I think you would love it. And the Puss in Boots can be watched anytime, it doesn't spoil anything, it really is a standalone movie. At least the first one, I haven't seen the new one yet. Great reaction!
Personally, I don't think any of them are terrible. I would just continue to watch them in release order. The first Puss N Boots doesn't matter for viewing sequence, but the 2nd one needs to be the last one you watch for reasons. A fun tidbit: A long time ago, they also did a little Christmas special for Shrek; it was pretty cute. Also, make sure you remember that Sir Justin poster for Shrek the Third, lol.
Shrek 3 is pretty underwhelming, but Shrek 4 incredibly underrated. I'M NOT SAYING TO SKIP SHREK THE THIRD! Just temper your expectations if uou do decide to react to it.
These reactions are great! I'd say you could watch both Puss movies now. As for the rest of the Shrek movies, 3 is definitely not as good as the others, but I think it still has its moments and worth at least one viewing. Shrek 4 is really good imo, and is a great conclusion to the series.
Rawhide was Clint Eastwood's CBS (CBC in Canada) TV series. For 7 seasons, he played a ramrod, then was promoted to trail boss in the final, 8th season. Yes, shockingly, it was a Western. _Ramrod_ sounds dirty. Did you like the Alien reference? It makes sense: mushrooms and roses are both, um, reproductive organs. As far as Puss, just watch everything - in release order.
A couple of dumb time-sensitive 2004 references that may have gone over your heads: The poster of Justin Timberlake was extra funny when the movie came out, because Cameron Diaz was actually dating him when this movie was made. The little white dog with the bow on it from the "Nip and Tuck" sequence was a reference to one of the little dogs Anna Nicole Smith's used to carry around. Her reality show was a airing at the time. Non-2004 reference: I like how Gingy takes them to the Muffin Man to make the giant gingerbread man because Farquad questioned Gingy about the Muffin Man in the first movie.
Ok So the Puss N Boots films are there own stand alone films but loosely related to the Shrek films in Spirit. Puss N Boots even got his own Spin off Netflix series I believe for a time. The first Puss N Boots film is his origin story while the second one (The Last Wish) takes place AFTER the current Shrek films so you can watch them whenever. As for Shrek 3 and Shrek 4... the fandom refers to them as the MEH films of the franchise. Their ok but aside from more introspective into Shrek and Fiona's relationship not much is added to their story. So you can watch them or not.
Cameron Diaz was dating Justin Timberlake at the time of this movie, so the SIR JUSTIN poster/card on the ceiling above her bunk bed was a reference to that relationship.
22:02 - You didn't comment on this in the video, but the music playing during the scene where the other characters are rescuing them from the dungeon, is the theme music to the classic Mission Impossible TV show. I've never watched the Tom Cruise movies, so I don't know if it was used in them and you might have recognized it from there. And once again, I'll say that you need to watch the Halloween special, Scared Shrekless.
"Awe, c'mon Shrek. Things only seem down right now because it's dark, it's rainy and Fiona's father hired a sleazy hitman to whack you. Things'll be better in the mornin."
As somebody with scoliosis. I’ve had a girlfriend’s mom refer to me as “defective”. Not to my face. The girlfriend told me that her mom said that. I’m still good friends with that ex. She’s actually the only ex that I still hang out with.
The third and fourth Shrek films are good (4th more than 3rd) but a big step down from the first two. Puss N’ Boots the first one is good, the second (The Last Wish) is my favorite of ALL the films in this universe.
Straight-off, the fourth film is, to regurgitate the words of better people at this than me an underrated gem. Don't look at its tomatoscore (it came out the exact year that that stopped being reliable), so definitely give it a watch (Katzenberg himself gave the order to end the series after it bc the story had been concluded). Also, while someone else might've said this already, the first Puss in Boots is fine. But it *is* a prequel for the whole series, so you can go ahead and watch it if you want now that you're familiar with him. The second one, which cannot be recommended enough, is a proper sequel, and needs to wait until after you're done with the main series Shrek films, whether that's now, or later
Do Puss in Boots anytime now. They are quite seperate from the Shrek movies and now he's been introduced you won't be spoiling anything for yourselves. Do all the Shrek movies. The third one is definitely not as good as the first two but still fun and funny and the 4th one is actually quite good and different 🙂
Puss n Boots movies seem like their own thing. I don't recall any serious crossover where you have to see all the Shrek films first. The quality of the Shrek films starts down in the next one, IMO. Shrek 2 was the pinnacle. Maybe others can weigh in if there is any reason to wait to watch Puss n Boots films. Those films just get better and better
Sir Justin is more than just from Fiona's childhood bedroom. At the time, Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake were dating. He is a voice in the third which is the weakest movie as well. The fourth movie is better but it isn't as good as the first two.
They very deliberately meant it to be a metaphor for race. At the very beginning Shrek says he won't be accepted at the country club, referring to American country clubs not letting African Americans join.
Fun Fact: when dokeny as a horse throws Puss off of him, puss says "You stupid meat with hooves, how could you do this to me!" Why did you cut out the cat-nip scene? Its hilarious
It's no exaggeration when they say that Shrek 2 is one of the best animated sequels, if not just one of the best film sequels, ever. And that 'Holding out for a Hero' sequence at the end is so damn good. I remember watching it in the cinema as a kid and just being in awe because I hadn't seen anything like that in an animated film before.
The 4th movie, Shrek Forever After, is good just less comedic than both movies (1&2). It does a slightly more serious story this time around. But not that serious. Though overall I think it is worth watching. Shrek the Third I personally don't enjoy but I hear some people enjoy some of the comedy of that film. So maybe you might enjoy it. I guess I could compare the humor to Austin Powers 2, or at least as close of a comparison as I could. I will say I found one or 2 bits from the 3rd pretty funny but still I don't really like that film. I guess I don't hate it but I can't really recommend it. Though there are like a few important things that happen in 3 that could be important to know about. If you skip 3 look up what happens to know about it before checking 4 but eh.
If I had a nickel for every time a hit movie came out about a dude whos girlfriend takes him to meet her parents, where they judge him for his race, before an evil plot to replace him with a white guy ensues, Id have... 2 nickels. (Shrek 2 + Get Out)
Will you guys ever be releasing your tv show reactions at any point because theres a few i would love to see? Was even going to join patreon but they're only full lenght reactions. Does anyone know the answer to this?

The third and fourth movies aren't as great as this but they're still worth a watch if you haven't seen them. They have some good moments in them.
The fourth movie is unfairly lumped in with the third.
The fourth one is so much better than the third. I skipped the third one and called the fourth one the trilogy.

A 1960s drama about a woman bringing home her fiancé who happens to be black and how the parents struggle with their prejudice.

Minor correction: the movie is called 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner'.
The Third is definitely the low point, but if you're willing to go all the way to the 4th and final one (so far), it's still a fun watch. In my opinion, Puss in Boots The Last Wish takes precedence over the two, then Kung Fu Panda 3 to finish that series, and then the rest of the HTTYD movies.

This movie will always be a favorite. My mom took me to see it after my first dog passed away. It helped so much and it's a comfort movie till this day.
Aw!🥲Entertainment really can lift spirits!
Bet she was cringing a bit when the dog got squashed in the movie...
W mother
Please continue with the Shrek movies. Shrek 3 isn't as bad as people make it out to be.
Yeah it's worth watching once at least.
Unfortunately, I’ve never given Shrek the third a chance. I’ve only seen clips of it when it was on TV and it didn’t impress me. I know the storyline to it but just from what others said about it, put me off and I just kept delaying myself from watching it. But I think I can bring myself to watch it now.
I did however, really enjoy the 4th one.
Shrek 1 9/10 great 88%
Shrek 2 10/10 best 89%
Shrek the third 3/10 bad 41%
Shrek forever after 7/10 good 57%
All of the Shrek movies are worth watching in my opinion 🙂
"Holding Out for a Hero" in this is the best use of any song in any movie ever
Rawhide was a series about a cattle drive. It's what made Clint Eastwood a name so he could get those spaghetti western roles.
The joke in the BB movie was that was the closest thing they knew to a country song.
I’ve said it before but Jennifer Saunders did not have to go that hard on the climax song. One of the best movie covers of a song ever.
Fairy Godmother is the best villain ever. If you connect the dots she had been working behind the curtains all the time. She granted Harold his wish to become human and turned him into a king, then she cursed his daughter so her son could save and marry her so she could be part of a royal family and rule the kingdom. It would've worked if Shrek didn't make it to the tower first.
Shrek The Third has hardly any of the random unexpected things you'd not expect to see where Shrek exists, like real world references, jokes for adults that kids wouldnt get, riffs on other films and pop culture stuff, and I felt it suffered for that. The fourth film, while no masterpiece, has a reasonable "be careful what you wish for" thing about it, and a brilliantly creepy little villian.
Yeah...one thing is for sure, with all the visual references in this one, it must be the most rewatchable of the Shrek movies. I spot new things every time I see it, and I have seen it quite a bit.
And the least rewatchable on... Do I even need to say it?
@@MariusWales Probably not, but if you do say it, it will probably lead to more comments for Simone and George's engagement stats. LOL
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is a must watch. Such an amazing animated film
I love how you catched almost all the references only because you have been watching so many movies.
Shrek 2 is even fuller of pop-culture reference of the time than the first one yes.
Well, they wouldn't have known to include references that flew over their heads in the edit...
I highly recommend the fourth entry, SHREK FOREVER AFTER. And what's nice about it is you can follow it without having seen the third one, so feel free to skip that one, because it's bad.
The third one isn’t even that bad.
See and I like the third but hate the fourth lol
They are pretty overhated imo, especially the 3rd.
Watch the 3rd and 4th. 3rd is a little bit better in my eyes than the 4th but both are worth watching once
The whole Mission: Impossible breakout scene with Pinocchio and Gingy was peak comedy when I was 12. Probably the only time I’ve ever rolled on the dirty theater floor laughing.
But also no shame if that’s what’s makes you happy.😄
I really hope you guys watch all 4 movies, such a great franchise. And I am already arguing against the comments who will be saying to skip the 3rd one, for me the 3rd Shrek suffers from the same problem of the 3rd Godfather, is a good movie in a franchise of great movies, so every other movie is better, but I completely disagree with people who say they are bad movies or that you should skip them.
Yep. Shrek 4 is not the best in the trilogy (there was no Shrek 3!), but it's still a good movie. Puss in Boots: the last wish is as good as (or even better than) the first 2 Shrek, but the first Puss in Boots is "meh", not really worth a watch, even though it's not terribly bad. So I think they should watch Puss in Boots: the last wish and Shrek, and they don't need to watch more
@@leovk5779 - I like Shrek 3 10 times better than Shrek 4, personally. I don't get how Shrek 4 is popular in any way O_o
@umacara8900 Yes! Thank you!
@@leovk5779There was a Shrek 3, 4 movies in the total franchise so not a Trilogy😂😂
Myers based the voice on his Scottish dad. Rawhide was a popular western tv show that Clint Eastwood got his start. The opening montage is all references. The vid camera thing is wonder years. The passionate kiss in the beach is from from here to eternity, etc.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is one of the best animation films I’ve ever seen. Akin to Spider-Verse. I’ve never seen the first Puss in Boots
The first Puss in Boots doesn't bring much to the plot or character development. It's not bad... but it's not really good either. It's "meh". I think it's very optional to watch the first one before watching the masterpiece that is Puss in Boots: the last wish.
The first one is great imo. Not as great as the second but still decent.
Last Wish is mostly a fantasy adventure story, low on jokes.
@@treetopjones737 I thought it was hilarious in a much more subtle way than the Shrek films which I prefer. All around banger of a film.
Could you cover Atlantis the Lost Empire? BTW, Rawhide was a western show with Clint Eastwood.
"It would be the sweetest fight ever!"
Now that there is some high quality Dad joke...uh huh...you betcha...that is some top notch stuff right there! 😜😁
Rawhide was a t.v western that ran from 1959 - 65 and featured a VERY young Clint Eastwood.
This was so much fun! Thank you.
Shrek 4 is a strong story. Shrek 3 is a bit weak but not awful. Watch them all please.
Puss in Boots after Shrek 3 probably but they are disconnect enough that you can start now.
17:40 - So here we'll see that the potion affects also the loved one which means that somewhere Dragon also transformed into something beautiful because Donkey drank the potion but we don't get to see it. There are rumours that she was supposedly be a pegasus (not sure if it was in one original draft or deleted scene or just the writers saying it when asked after the movie came out).
@19:45
When the Fairy godmother mimicked Shrek in this scene I wanted to slap her lol. Shows how good of a job the animators and the voice actor did.
Simone: I'm thinking she's more of a Cinderella faerie god mother
George: Fairy... fairy... FAIRY FIRE
BG3 is so good George, I know this feel
Chris Farley actually recorded almost all of his lines as Shrek before he passed. R.I.P. to a Legend.
Interesting, I've always assumed he died before the new millennium.
He did. He recorded his lines the same year he died. 1997. @@w415800
The movie was delayed by a year for reshoots because of Chris Farleys death. You can hear his version of Shrek on RUclips.
@@Jar0fMay0 oh you are talking about the first Shrek movie.
@@w415800 yes of course
Still one of the best sequels of all time!
There are a few more hints about the King being a frog: the Queen says they met at a lily pond, and their bedroom has a tapestry of a pond with lilies
Whoever said the later movies are cash grabby. Is insane. I like the 4th movie for a specific reason. The third or 4th will answer a question CineBinge reacts has asked since the first movie.
Thus I definitely recommend all the movies in this series. :)
Even though Shrek 3 and 4 aren't as revered as the first two, I'd definitely say give them a watch. They both had a theatrical release and did relatively well, so they aren't as cash grabby as what you might stereotypically think of. There's still heartwarming moments and character growth moments. The humor is still pretty good too. I personally think the 4th is better than the 3rd and if I had to rank all of them I'd say Shrek 2,4, 1, 3.
Honestly, the cash grabbiest aspect of the Shrek franchise was the holiday special and the Shrek the Musical. Those two are definitely a waste of time in my opinion.
As far as the Puss in Boots movies are concerned they essentially bookend the Shrek franchise. The first Puss movie is his origin story so it could be considered a prequel to Shrek 1. The second Puss movie for sure happens after the Shrek movies and could be considered the finale of the series because it wraps up his character arc which didn't happen in the Shrek movies.
28:40 Don’t listen to whoever told you that the final Shrek film was “cash grabby”. The third one certainly was, but the last one, although not greatly received when it came out, is popularly looked backed upon as an amazing film (and completely made out of passion and desire to properly end the franchise). It might not be as funny as the first two (which doesn't really matter when it wasn't even trying to be), but it certainly is the most emotional one.
Some people still stubbornly lump Shrek 4 with the third one (when most haven’t even rewatched it since it came out). They’re wrong. Skip Shrek 3, but please watch Shrek 4 (since it barely even acknowledges the third one).
You see, when a Dragon and a Donkey love each other very much they.....do a special kind of hug that only grown up Dragons and Donkeys do with each other.
Hangover 2? That'd be sweet.
Honestly, you could stop here, and go to Puss in Boots 1 and 2. You wont lose too much by going into just 2, but it's not too bad. And may elvate how good 2 is
Shrek 3 is bad, but Shrek 4 is pretty good, it's worth a watch.
Simone, George… Your channel has become a serious source of comfort for me. It helps soothe my anxiety so much and I get so much joy from watching you react to movies. Please keep up what you do. You both seem like such sweethearts in real life. Thanks for everything.
This film is god tier. From the story, to the jokes and obviously the soundtrack
Hey guys!! Absolutely loved the reaction and really glad you liked the movie. This is one of my favorite comedies for sure. Oh and Simone....love all your opening phrases, so classic. You ought to put them all in a medley. 🤣🤣
I remember the trailer for this more than the movie itself, and I swear when Donkey is doing the pop noises, the final one is scored by the Jaws theme.
Yay! So happy you guys are continuing with this series! I personally really enjoy Shrek 3, it gets a bad wrap and I'm honestly not sure why. Definitely worth a watch I say! I love being in the Shrek world again (Far Far Away specially), and spending time with some princess 😉 That's all I'll say!
Yes
Who the hell is saying the rest of Shrek is terrible? I would put 3 just a little below the first, and the 4th somewhere between. None of them are terrible, in my opinion. I would say finish the next two, then hop onto puss.
One of the best sequels and most peak cinema memed movies besides SpongeBob ever. It gets a little crazy with so many characters and the references but it does stand out with the humor of making fun of fairytales and Disney. The soundtrack is pretty good too
gingerbread man yelling its a thong! , prince justin poster, the pepper, this is top tier comedy.
Definitely watch the two more Shrek movies too! The story keeps evolving and lately I've seen lot of people say that the fourth one is their favorite. The third one may be a little weaker comparing to these two, but the last one is very good. I think you would love it. And the Puss in Boots can be watched anytime, it doesn't spoil anything, it really is a standalone movie. At least the first one, I haven't seen the new one yet. Great reaction!
I reccomend seeing 3 and 4 as well, they complete the story. The Puss In Boots movies are fantastic as well.
Yes
Personally, I don't think any of them are terrible. I would just continue to watch them in release order. The first Puss N Boots doesn't matter for viewing sequence, but the 2nd one needs to be the last one you watch for reasons. A fun tidbit: A long time ago, they also did a little Christmas special for Shrek; it was pretty cute. Also, make sure you remember that Sir Justin poster for Shrek the Third, lol.
18:12 Making Horse Sound And Laugh Cut Scene😅😅😂
18:50 Spanish Scene And Also Laughing Cut Scene Again😂😅
21:26 Pepper Spray Got Me Alot😅😂
Shrek 3 is pretty underwhelming, but Shrek 4 incredibly underrated.
I'M NOT SAYING TO SKIP SHREK THE THIRD! Just temper your expectations if uou do decide to react to it.
Officially the mutant children are called dronkies
These reactions are great! I'd say you could watch both Puss movies now. As for the rest of the Shrek movies, 3 is definitely not as good as the others, but I think it still has its moments and worth at least one viewing. Shrek 4 is really good imo, and is a great conclusion to the series.
Jennifer Saunders absolutely slays Holding out for a Hero
Absolute banger of a movie
It’s obviously 🙄 a “ Drongkey “. 😂
Rawhide was Clint Eastwood's CBS (CBC in Canada) TV series. For 7 seasons, he played a ramrod, then was promoted to trail boss in the final, 8th season. Yes, shockingly, it was a Western. _Ramrod_ sounds dirty.
Did you like the Alien reference?
It makes sense: mushrooms and roses are both, um, reproductive organs.
As far as Puss, just watch everything - in release order.
A couple of dumb time-sensitive 2004 references that may have gone over your heads:
The poster of Justin Timberlake was extra funny when the movie came out, because Cameron Diaz was actually dating him when this movie was made.
The little white dog with the bow on it from the "Nip and Tuck" sequence was a reference to one of the little dogs Anna Nicole Smith's used to carry around. Her reality show was a airing at the time.
Non-2004 reference: I like how Gingy takes them to the Muffin Man to make the giant gingerbread man because Farquad questioned Gingy about the Muffin Man in the first movie.
The Fairy Godmother, BTW, was voiced by Jennifer Saunders, whom you might know from Absolutely Fabulous.
Ok So the Puss N Boots films are there own stand alone films but loosely related to the Shrek films in Spirit. Puss N Boots even got his own Spin off Netflix series I believe for a time. The first Puss N Boots film is his origin story while the second one (The Last Wish) takes place AFTER the current Shrek films so you can watch them whenever. As for Shrek 3 and Shrek 4... the fandom refers to them as the MEH films of the franchise. Their ok but aside from more introspective into Shrek and Fiona's relationship not much is added to their story. So you can watch them or not.
13:02 you guys missed the Alien Reference...
Cameron Diaz was dating Justin Timberlake at the time of this movie, so the SIR JUSTIN poster/card on the ceiling above her bunk bed was a reference to that relationship.
22:02 - You didn't comment on this in the video, but the music playing during the scene where the other characters are rescuing them from the dungeon, is the theme music to the classic Mission Impossible TV show. I've never watched the Tom Cruise movies, so I don't know if it was used in them and you might have recognized it from there.
And once again, I'll say that you need to watch the Halloween special, Scared Shrekless.
"Awe, c'mon Shrek. Things only seem down right now because it's dark, it's rainy and Fiona's father hired a sleazy hitman to whack you. Things'll be better in the mornin."
As somebody with scoliosis. I’ve had a girlfriend’s mom refer to me as “defective”. Not to my face. The girlfriend told me that her mom said that.
I’m still good friends with that ex.
She’s actually the only ex that I still hang out with.
The third and fourth Shrek films are good (4th more than 3rd) but a big step down from the first two. Puss N’ Boots the first one is good, the second (The Last Wish) is my favorite of ALL the films in this universe.
Straight-off, the fourth film is, to regurgitate the words of better people at this than me an underrated gem. Don't look at its tomatoscore (it came out the exact year that that stopped being reliable), so definitely give it a watch (Katzenberg himself gave the order to end the series after it bc the story had been concluded). Also, while someone else might've said this already, the first Puss in Boots is fine. But it *is* a prequel for the whole series, so you can go ahead and watch it if you want now that you're familiar with him. The second one, which cannot be recommended enough, is a proper sequel, and needs to wait until after you're done with the main series Shrek films, whether that's now, or later
Do Puss in Boots anytime now. They are quite seperate from the Shrek movies and now he's been introduced you won't be spoiling anything for yourselves.
Do all the Shrek movies. The third one is definitely not as good as the first two but still fun and funny and the 4th one is actually quite good and different 🙂
Personally I don't think Shrek 3 is very good, and Shrek 4 was ok. I believe that both puss in boots movies on canonically after Shrek 4
Since watching this, I've been unable to say, "Puss in Boots!" in my usual accent. It comes up more often than you'd imagine...
Puss n Boots movies seem like their own thing. I don't recall any serious crossover where you have to see all the Shrek films first. The quality of the Shrek films starts down in the next one, IMO. Shrek 2 was the pinnacle. Maybe others can weigh in if there is any reason to wait to watch Puss n Boots films. Those films just get better and better
Sir Justin is more than just from Fiona's childhood bedroom. At the time, Cameron Diaz and Justin Timberlake were dating. He is a voice in the third which is the weakest movie as well. The fourth movie is better but it isn't as good as the first two.
They very deliberately meant it to be a metaphor for race. At the very beginning Shrek says he won't be accepted at the country club, referring to American country clubs not letting African Americans join.
Fun Fact: when dokeny as a horse throws Puss off of him, puss says "You stupid meat with hooves, how could you do this to me!"
Why did you cut out the cat-nip scene? Its hilarious
It's no exaggeration when they say that Shrek 2 is one of the best animated sequels, if not just one of the best film sequels, ever.
And that 'Holding out for a Hero' sequence at the end is so damn good. I remember watching it in the cinema as a kid and just being in awe because I hadn't seen anything like that in an animated film before.
If you have Pluto TV, there is an entire channel dedicated to streaming Rawhide. Classic Clint Eastwood early career western.
George PLEASE keep mentioning how huge the moons are it’s my favorite running bit 😆
The 4th movie, Shrek Forever After, is good just less comedic than both movies (1&2). It does a slightly more serious story this time around. But not that serious. Though overall I think it is worth watching.
Shrek the Third I personally don't enjoy but I hear some people enjoy some of the comedy of that film. So maybe you might enjoy it. I guess I could compare the humor to Austin Powers 2, or at least as close of a comparison as I could. I will say I found one or 2 bits from the 3rd pretty funny but still I don't really like that film. I guess I don't hate it but I can't really recommend it.
Though there are like a few important things that happen in 3 that could be important to know about. If you skip 3 look up what happens to know about it before checking 4 but eh.
The 3rd one was still good. The 4th was decent. I wouldn't say they got terrible, but couldn't keep up the high bar they set with the first 2
Shrek 3's not a great movie, it has it's moments but mostly it's kind of boring, but Shrek 4 is actually pretty good
💚Love all the Shrek movies! Thanks for reacting! Love the mutant baby Dronkeys!
Shrek 3 was pretty good. Everything goes downhill after that, until the Puss and Boots movies begin.
Meanwhile, I think Shrek the Third was the weakest, but still very good.
If I had a nickel for every time a hit movie came out about a dude whos girlfriend takes him to meet her parents, where they judge him for his race, before an evil plot to replace him with a white guy ensues, Id have... 2 nickels.
(Shrek 2 + Get Out)
I've only seen Shrek 1 & 2, and then Puss in boots -the last one, and didn't feel i missed anything.... let's see what the others say.
Shrek 3 is CineCringe at best, but Please watch Shrek 4! Stronger than the first movie and a great sendoff for the characters
Will you guys ever be releasing your tv show reactions at any point because theres a few i would love to see? Was even going to join patreon but they're only full lenght reactions. Does anyone know the answer to this?
