@@laithalabri8456 that's exactly it. Shrek 2 was made before the streaming age so there are some complications with getting the soundtrack on streaming platforms because there was no way of anticipating what Spotify would do to the music industry.
Also, can we all just take a moment to comprehend how actually competent the castle guards are at their job? They prepared for every eventuality, including giant cookie attacks (warm milk wouldn't do much to anything else), and with the exception of the Puss scene, their combat strategy is spot-on, such as forming lines to keep out the intruders instead of just rushing in head-on.
However I don't think it can be written off how terrible the puss scene was. The 5 armored knights who should have been training from childhood, (or if they aren't actual knights and just elite soldiers than from their early adulthood) and they got beat by a damn cat. Additionally, you can't catch a guy on horseback with a sword. He just has too much speed and momentum for a relatively small weapon. They should have had polearms, crossbows, or at least spears. And of course, none of them seem to be wearing any mail or padding under their armor, leaving their joints, particularly the neck, exposed and making it much less comfortable to move around in. Overall, while they at least held some baseline level of mindfulness, they are still surprisingly incompetent soldiers to be manning the capital's castle
The Puss scene WASN'T terribly written though. They let their guard down because they thought he was just some cute harmless kitty, and he took advantage of that. The scene also perfectly illustrates exactly how he got everything he wanted, the sad kitten act being shown to essentially give him control over any situation, and even played on the unpredictability of actual cat behaviour, which just makes it even better IMO. Additionally, you have to remember he's not JUST a cat, he's a cat who fights like friggin' Zorro and gained notoriety as someone who kills things several times his own size. And as a matter of fact, Puss may not have originally won--an earlier draft of the script had him not seen again after that, implying his potential death, but like Gingy originally dying trying to save Mongo, that was deemed too upsetting and written out.
It just makes it all the more epic. And I believed that’s Harry Gregson-Williams himself doing the orchestration of the song, and when I’m listening to this, I’m into the moment!! Jennifer Saunders CRUSHED IT!!!!
Watching this scene as a kid, I was always surprised how the knights were so well-prepared for a giant pastry attack. No shock, no questions, and very convenient hot milk barrels layed out for the defence. I'm pretty sure the Muffin Man tried to take over the kingdom before, at least once, with a huge gingerbread army.
@@johngoogle2783 yeah,making a cover that's objectively better than the original to sync perfectly with an action scene could yeild a medium-defining scene in a movie that was never meant to be one of the greatest animated films ever crafted
@@VengefulJay Right? Now that I know a little bit more about cinematography than I did while being a 7 year old I really started appreciating that particular scene and movie as a whole. The work on this piece of art was really exquisite.
“Up where the mountains meet the heavens above, out where the lightning splits the sea” That lyric gives me actual chills. This cover slaps way harder than it needs to.
Even without the scene, you can just feel the weight of the situation. It's letting you know that this is it, this is the climactic battle. If the slightest thing goes wrong, then the villain wins.
Yeah, this part begins in G minor, but I still think it’s what was wanted (she wanted the song itself in C minor). You can have a minor song start in another minor key. Like I said, I related this to the original.
Not only is this song just an amazing cover. It ALSO incorporates parts the original score from the first Shrek movie! This makes it so much more dramatic then it otherwise would be! They went so hard with the music and storytelling in this song it's unreal.
For the first time in my life, I had a dream about a RUclips comment. I saw this comment yesterday, and I dreamed about testing it out on piano to see if it really was in G minor.
Some movies: "I have a great soundtrack." Other movies: "I have a great story." A few movies: "I have great characters." Shrek: I'll take all three please!
Shrek 2: All three, and also more humor and expand the universe! Shrek 3: A good soundtrack should be enough, also a lot of weird humor Shrek 4: Let's make even greater characters! Remove dark humor tho
I just saw this movie again in theaters and the moment this scene reminded why animation will be one of the greatest methods of storytelling and why a song can always make a scene even more tense, the roaring sound of the back up singers and the tense and emotional vocals of the main singer make this one of the best finales in cinema, Shrek is love Shrek is life
nah, this is nice and all but it is mostly the hype of the movie that carries this, it is not comparable to the pure blood and sweat put in the original by Bonnie Tyler
Shrek 2 is the most perfect sequel in all of cinematic history. It expands the world with someone behind everything since the first movie, its conflict is organic as Shrek doesn't feel worthy for Fiona because society can't accept him and therefore changes himself so that it will, and it leaves an undeniable impact on the whole quadrilogy. Actually scratch that, Shrek the Third doesn't exist and it's just 1, 2, and 4. So trilogy. Edit: I'm so glad so many people here know Schrafrillas lol
Dude, the production company put people to work on Shrek based on how badly they screwed up working on another film. The kick downstairs was known as "getting Shreked".. And then Shrek obliterated the big movie in the box office.... XD
2:27 gotta love that little bit of Shrek's theme/leitmotif. Plus behind the first verse there is the first half of Fiona's theme/Fairytale played on strings
You know a song is epic and timeless when you can envision everything that happened in the movie while it was playing. Every scene every detail. You can just close your eyes and see it in your mind.
@@KaytheWooper I don't understand why they're doing that it completely ruins the happy ending Shrek got at the end of 4. JUST LET IT DIE PEACEFULLY!! 😑🙄
@2 Ssj vocal Vocals auto tuned to sound perfect, the instrumental is a tad overbearing over the vocals and the back up singers are 10/10. So 9/10 and the best version that presently exists basically.
There is one singular flaw with this track: the fact that the soundtrack release version (the one in this video) is missing one _crucial_ aspect that ties the whole thing together. *_”HIT IT!”_*
Jennifer SLAYED this song! This scene is one of the most epic ones in a children’s animation film. I love how the Shrek films can be enjoyed by both children and adults! ❤
For how meme-able shrek is. This song is really well made. I think i like it more than the original. You can fight me on that. I feel the orchestra in the back builds up climax and tension really well. While the electro beat keeps the song on track. Really well done DreamWorks. Or whoever made this version.
I love the part after this song is finished and shrek comes in saying "HEY YOU BACK AWAY FROM MY WIFE!" Like after a song like this and the intensity in the moment, the delivery of that line gives chills.
Jennifer Saunders out here singing the best damn cover of any song you will ever here. Hats off to the composer and the orchestra too, this shit is pure fire.
That's very interesting to me that they got that wrong (taking your word for it I wouldn't know). They're musicians, you'd think they'd know what key they're playing in.
The Fairy Godmother is one of the best antagonists I have ever seen. She is very different compared to most villains. The Fairy Godmother is a hero in Cinderella, but she is pure evil in this movie. She does not have an evil castle or lair to torture her enemies. She uses her magical powers to do that. She does not have an ugly physical appearance like most villains do. Plus, she sings throughout the movie, and I can't think of many villains who are known for singing.

@@theminecraft2516 tf did you just say about sweet victory
This was, hands-down, the best Shrek film.
bopp9 3 was the worst lol
4 was the worst, even the actors didn't seem all that into it.
Marlfox70 4s story was better
bopp9 i agree with you.
same
Throwback to 8 year old me getting *hyped*
Chey Thorn same, but I was 5 and really sad when the giant cookie man died.
ME TOO!!!!!
4 year old me was stoked with this scene
-2 year old me
Every single time I watch Shrek 2 I get hyped when this scene comes up
You know a song is epic and timeless when you can envision everything that happened in the movie while it was playing.
Every scene every detail.
You can just close your eyes and see it in your mind.
WHY THE HELL IS THIS VERSION NOT ON SPOTIFY
it is listed on Spotify, but it's only playable for users with Premium or something probably
Anza Hanif Athallah I cant find it and I have premium 😭
I have premium and it's in grey. I HATE it's not available.
IT WAS IT GOT R E M O V E D
I wish it was on Spotify 😩😩 you can get it on iTunes but you need the entire album though
I usually hate “lol they’re not actually dead” plot lines but I want another shrek movie with Jennifer Saunders revealed as the villain at the end.
Would have been a better ploy for Shrek 3. Pretty boy wants his mummy back.
Like, Fairy Godmother or Jennifer herself?
"Somehow, Fairy Godmother has returned"
They're rebooting Shrek so she could be in the new movie
@@KaytheWooper I don't understand why they're doing that it completely ruins the happy ending Shrek got at the end of 4. JUST LET IT DIE PEACEFULLY!! 😑🙄
Fun fact: The pianist did NOT put it in C minor and that's a joke because he presumably didn't believe the fairy godmother could hit a C minus.
Hahha your pulling my legs right? Hha
little did the pianist know, jennifer saunders has no bounds or flaws. she could easily hit a C Minor.
😂 I asked my daughter who is knowledgeable about music if it was in C minor and she listened to it and said “nope G minor “

The fact that you hear the dialog as the song plays just naturally, says everything
No disrespect to Bonnie Tyler but this version is flawless.
@2 Ssj vocal lol someone is salty
@2 Ssj vocal Vocals auto tuned to sound perfect, the instrumental is a tad overbearing over the vocals and the back up singers are 10/10.
So 9/10 and the best version that presently exists basically.
@2 Ssj vocal someone has bad taste in music lol
@2 Ssj vocal yea stop being alive
I love Jennifer’s version no hate here but Bonnie sang her heart out in that song she’s got a great voice could really feel her soul
Wait where's the *HIT IT!* ?
I KNOW RIGHT?! I WAS LITERALLY WAITING FOR HER TO SAY IT I felt so dissapointed.
@@guyWSonicpicture I HAVE THE SOLUTION!!!! ruclips.net/video/_etuu_NN440/видео.html
and the "dance dance' Chant at the beginning
I literally said it and I got disappointed when she didn’t say it 😂😂😂
I guess that was only in the movie.
There is one singular flaw with this track: the fact that the soundtrack release version (the one in this video) is missing one _crucial_ aspect that ties the whole thing together.
*_”HIT IT!”_*
Yes! My mom was sad when I finally managed to track this song down years ago for her CD in her car and it didn't have that.
Another flaw: This is not on Spotify for whatever reason
3:39;Puss:"Rrrrrrr En Garde!"
Oh, right. The aspect. The aspect for this song, the aspect chosen especially for this comment, this song's aspect.
@@understu”…that aspect?”
Jennifer SLAYED this song! This scene is one of the most epic ones in a children’s animation film. I love how the Shrek films can be enjoyed by both children and adults! ❤
Indeed she did.
Fairy Godmother: says put it in C minor
Me: gets so pumped I throw my 6-year-old brother into the wall.
When music is so good it causes you to commit battery
@@DeathbyPixels i hope he held out for a hero
These comments 😂
That wasn't c minor!! (Just kidding!)
Yep but its my teenage personality
Ironman: "And I. Am. Ironman"
Me: "Gods speed Tony Stark. Gods speed.
Mongo: "Be. Good."
Me: *literally shaking and crying*
SAME.
When gingy was yelling “HE NEEDS ME!” That was the moment I started to tear up
Not the gumdrop button :(
Endgame has nothing on Shrek. That's just fact.
Mongo made me a better man
Why is everyone saying this is better than the original?
This *IS* the original.
The original is by Bonnie Tyler
@@VictoriaTraducciones I'm making a joke
@@humblememer2640 Not a very fun one it seems
@@VictoriaTraducciones ok boomer
@@VictoriaTraducciones wtf
3:39-to the end in particular solidifies this as the greatest cover of any song in history.
Especially 3:42 and 3:45
It's ironic that a song about needing a hero is being sung by the villain.
true!
A villain can't exist without a hero.
clever
+Lautael Lautael, that is the best quote I've ever heard!
OmegaWolf113 Thanks :)
For how meme-able shrek is. This song is really well made. I think i like it more than the original. You can fight me on that. I feel the orchestra in the back builds up climax and tension really well. While the electro beat keeps the song on track. Really well done DreamWorks. Or whoever made this version.
Definitely agree, especially with the start being so slow and suddenly it turns into a fast-paced epic orchestral track is incredible
The entire movie is a cinematic master piece but the power of THIS scene holy shit
I don't think any relatively sane person would agree that this cover isn't better than the original
The track is so much more varied than the original. AND THAT SINGING AT 2:00 IS GODLY
Check out Sideways's video on the soundtrack to Shrek 1 and 2, it more explains WHY this version of the track works so well
This is how you properly mix a film's score and a bad-ass song. My favorite part of this damn movie.
Brian Riff based on the other comments its literally everyone's favorite scene
I am the 666th like
Do I get an award? XD
Whoever mix this has a hell of a talent or experience, that is for sure.
I love the part after this song is finished and shrek comes in saying "HEY YOU BACK AWAY FROM MY WIFE!" Like after a song like this and the intensity in the moment, the delivery of that line gives chills.
they took this off Spotify and Im fuming
I'm pissed
ITS BACK ON
Lizzy WHAT
AidanMSM
It’s true. It’s now on my playlist
They took it off Apple Music too 🤬🤬🤬
If Shrek 2 was soo good, why isnt there a Shrek 2: 2?
Shit man you got us
Damn bro you just nae nae'd us
We just been had
It should be called Shrek 2: 2 electric boogaloo.
Oh damn
The Perfect Finale Doesn't Exis-
Shrek 2: Hold my swamp
Lmao
@Shrek Martian yes
@Tropyckal Frogge HOLD MY DONKEY
Hold my layers
I don’t care if this was 11 months ago you’re fired from RUclips for a day
Jennifer Saunders out here singing the best damn cover of any song you will ever here. Hats off to the composer and the orchestra too, this shit is pure fire.
"You can't see songs"
-my stupid teacher
Fact.
People with Synaesthesia: Am I joke to you?
A line of fairy dust can help with that
Jsjsjsjs
Not the gumdrop buttons...
Fairy Godmother: Put it in C Minor
Pianist: *PLAYS IN G MINOR*
C minor, yes.
THIS ALWAYS BUGGED ME AS A MUSICIAN! I still can't hear that line without cringing!
From now on, Gm will be known as Cm 2. There will no longer be a Gm.
@@arakanichigou3582 Gm is now a thing
That's very interesting to me that they got that wrong (taking your word for it I wouldn't know). They're musicians, you'd think they'd know what key they're playing in.
"Hey Jennifer, how about you sing this song for this kids movie?"
"Okay"
...
Creates the most powerful and iconic scene ever made

I cant get over hearing a synth drum machine in a movie set in medieval times
Best frickin part of the whole movie. As a kid I literally got chills at this scene. The battle and the music were so awesome!
Gives me shivers so bad.
It was the most amazing part of the movie, I swear
Loki Laufeyson j n 6. I 6uj0
Domingo Aviles Huh?
Michael Dey Agreed. :)
God Jennifer Saunders absolutely killed it with the vocals on this. Still iconic 15 years later. Better than the original
It's been this long oh my God....
That we can agree on. Shrek 2 introduced me to the song. I was 11 now I’m 27
I prefer the original
@@donnadouglas8498 ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh even I could tell major difference between those two and I hate covers
@@donnadouglas8498 I prefer Jennifer because I’m not the biggest fan of Bonnie’s singing style. She had a very unique, gravelly voice.
This is literally the best version of this song ever
ditto bro. so true
+Equestrian Idiot I can't pick, this for sure is an amazing version though.
+Shibuya Is λλππππ
Nah, I like the original one. it's more relaxing and nice.
definitely
I AM CONVINCED THAT THEY WON'T PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY BECAUSE BONNIE TAYLOR KNOWS THIS IS 100000% BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL LMAO
I agree 😂
Spider-Man 2: "I'm the best movie sequel ever created in cinematic history."
Shrek 2: *"Hold my swamp"*
Dark Knight: *And I thought MY jokes were bad...*
Empire Strikes Back: "Am I a joke to you?"
Despacito 2: *shit*
Terminator 2: I'll be back
when has spider-man 2 ever been considered the best sequel ever
The Fairy Godmother is one of the best antagonists I have ever seen. She is very different compared to most villains. The Fairy Godmother is a hero in Cinderella, but she is pure evil in this movie. She does not have an evil castle or lair to torture her enemies. She uses her magical powers to do that. She does not have an ugly physical appearance like most villains do. Plus, she sings throughout the movie, and I can't think of many villains who are known for singing.
I agree until the end. Most Disney villains have their own iconic theme they sing
I said I can't think of many, not that there are not many.
@@ethane-dawgwenger4207 OK...I was giving examples.

5 year old me was headbanging to this
19 yearold me is still headbanging to this
This scene is what makes Shrek 2 stand out to the rest
Just like the ending from Mega Man 2
The reason why we don't hear "HIT IT!" is so that we can say it and bring out our inner fairy godmother
Bruh... im checking out the new comments and people still listen to it with such enthusiasm.
A movie that released ages ago has gained immortality...
Cuz it’s shrek? The 1 film with millions of memes..
Is it just me or is the shrek soundtracks literally the best soundtracks of all time
it is the best

Shrek 2 is the best Shrek of all the franchise.
Change my mind.
i cant
No i won't
No no ur stating facts
3 was definitely the worst
Not sure if I can change a fact bud
Shrek 1: aw yiss
Shrek 2: film history has peaked and will never reach these heights again.
