    The Shrek franchise didn't use Disney properties. They used fairy tales, something that Disney did quite a bit. Otherwise they'd make an allusion to Disney's works, like the Beauty and the Beast characters.
    And the "I Need a Hero" sequence is one of my favorite moments in the entire series. They made great use of the song, and the whole fight getting to Fiona always has me tearing up at times. Mongo losing his arms and sinking, then Puss staying back to buy Shrek and Donkey time, not knowing if he'll be okay, it hits me solidly in the feels.
    And the scene with Shrek going to see the Fairy Godmother, he made good use of the Trope "Bavarian Fire Drill", sneaking in with the union trick, and then using a disguise that probably only worked because they thought he was affected by one of the potions (a possibly common occurrence). That was a fun scene.
    And human Shrek may have changed, but I'd bet he still had his strength. I sort of wish he'd have had to fight Charming, with Charming being hopelessly outmatched. Shrek breaks the sword, Charming punches him to *no effect whatsoever,* and Shrek just shoves him back or tosses him aside like a baseball. That would have been a better lead up to the Godmother casting her spell at him, and it'd show how hard he'd fight for Fiona.

    The villain, the climax, the entire story is all a million times better than the first one.
    -Also the one that cursed Fiona is actually the Fairy Godmother so when her son Charming came it would be him to break the spell.
    -The voice of the stepsister in the pub is the late Larry King
    -The two tiny characters on the red carpet are Tom Thumb and Thumbelina they are supposed to be tiny characters from literature.
    -The one hosting the red carpet event is a parody of Joan Rivers a late great comedian.
    -Even though we never see Dragon as her transformed self it is believed she became a Pegasus.
    -The reason Fairy Godmother was destroyed is she saw her worst fear.
    -Puss in Boots is voiced by Antonio Banderas and the character is a parody of his previous role of Zorro.
    -When the guards are blowing their horns at Shrek’s swamp the one goes off doing his own he is playing the opening music for the tv theme song Hawaii Five-0.

      I wouldn’t say it’s hatred as it is a riff on Disney but not in an overly antagonistic way, besides the guy who founded DW who only hated Disney cuz he got fired for trying to get promoted to a position almost immediately after the guy who held it prior died (basically harassing execs to take the role while the ppl who knew the old guy was mourning his death). That’s why he made the main antagonist of the previous film based off the one who denied him the position.
      I also don’t think they hate Disney cuz with shrek 3 (spoilers)

Second, you're extremely tense for Fiona because she is not supposed to kiss Charming. Third, the king is having an existential crisis because he wants the best for her daughter and the best is obviously not Charming and to TOP IT OFF Fairy godmother is singing I need a hero because she thinks her son and herself ARE the heroes of the story but WE (the audience) know the hero is Shrek!!!

    These aren't Disney properties, by the way. These fairy tales are on the public domain. Anyone can make their version of these characters, but they don't own the original. So this movie could use as many fairy tales as they want as long as they don't plagiarize art or dialogue from Disney or any other version of these characters.

    Nick, maybe you should read Grimm's Fairytales or other versions because Disney didn't create those stories. Some are based of folklore/ fairytales from centuries ago (Snow White, Cinderella, etc.), some are based off history/ legends (Mulan, Pocahontas, etc.), and some are based off Hans Christan Andersen books (The Little Mermaid, Frozen, etc.). In fact, a lot of Disney's movies aren't original ideas. The Lion King is based on Hamlet, Treasure Planet is based on Treasure Island, Atlantis is based on the legend of Atlantis, etc. There's only a handful of movies they've made that are completely original like Zootopia and Lilo and Stitch.

    I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Shrek 2 is a GREAT movie. Definitely better than the first one, both of which are miles better than either of the sequels. Great gags, great villain, great music. It's well structured and paced, it's got a solid B-plot and the references are much better integrated and executed. It tells a relatively adult story in an accessible kid's flick without sacrificing the comedy or the spectacle. It's for sure as perfect as a Shrek movie can be, and maybe as perfect as any big-budget studio-driven stunt-casted animated feature could ever be. Great reaction, as always.

    Theory: I believe that fairy godmother turned him into a man after he had fell in love with his now wife and in exchange she wanted her son to be married to his royal daughter. And I believe that maybe the fairy godmother made herself look like a witch and put a spell on Fiona either with or without Harold’s knowledge.🤔

    It is also said the Fairy Godmother was the one who cursed Fiona. You know how fairy godmothers go to celebrate a baby's birth by bestowing a gift upon them or helping a girl get ready for the ball? Well not this one! Fairy Godmother is the one who cursed Fiona and told her parents the curse can be lifted if she receives true love's kiss, which she told them would be her son. When Fiona was of age, her parents sent her to live in the tower, awaiting Prince Charming. But we all know how that went! He was late! Instead, it was Farquad who found her, sent Shrek to get her, and bring her to him. At this point, Fiona just wants out of that tower and out of her "cursed" body by taking anyone, even if it's not the man of her then dreams. Harold was indebted to her for helping him be with Lillian, and it was time to pay up.

They appearing in Shrek really has nothing to do with Disney.
