Shrek Quote

for years my dad and i have been wondering about a quote from shrek, “put me down you’re hurting me” (said by the gingerbread man i think??), but after we couldn’t find out what movie it’s from, nor the scene, we were beginning to think that we imagined it. we would greatly appreciate it if someone could correct us on if the quote exists or lead us to where it was spoken.

Why does Cookie start singing "On the good ship lollipop" in Shrek The Third when Captain Hook threatens him?

I love how Cookie sees his life flashing before him when Captain Hook threatens him. But I can't figure out why he starts singing that song and swaying his head right after? Is that an ecstacy?

P.S: That and Pinocchio deceiving Prince Charming with the twisted words has to be one of my most fav moments from the franchise lol.

WHEN WILL SHREK 5 RELEASE??

Will Shrek 5 Ever Happen? If so, when do you think it will? My guess is Memorial Day 2026 the earliest, for Shrek’s 25th anniversary!

Why is it that Donkey is named “Donkey” in the Asian dubs (examples: Arabic, Hindi, Thai), but in the European dubs, his name is the translated version of donkey?

Turkish and Armenian has the translated name too

Question about the first Shrek film

Why does the pixie dust that falls on donkey only last a couple of seconds? Seems like a plot hole and I wont be watching again until its either resolved and proven not to be a plot hole or the writers give a formal apology.

Say whatever you want about Shrek the Third, but there’s no denying this line from Shrek is phenomenal. This time, it’s not about proving to himself that he’s worthy of a happily ever after, it’s about proving to even the villains that he DESERVES his happily ever after!

I can't stop thinking about this

Finished playing TWAU for the first time, and I consider it canon to the Shrek-verse.

My "big screen Shrek" experience

Anyway as you know some movie theaters are replaying the 2nd Shrek movie for its 20th aniversary. Today I went to mine because while I have seen the 2nd Shrek movie many times. I have never seen it on the big screen (the only Shrek movie I saw in the theaters for real was the 4th one) and let me tell you, there were things that I noticed that I never did on my tiny TV among others.

The first thing is that the added the Universal logo at the beginning of the movie due to how they are owned by comcast just like DreamWorks. When I saw this I was a bit worried because the balloon logo was my favorite DW logo and I thought they were going to going to plaster it with the new "riding the moon" logo which I like but not as much as the balloon one but lo and behold after that. I saw our little fisherman friend with his bunch of balloon making it the first time I ever saw the balloon logo on the big screen (although I did technically see it in Madagascar 2 and Monsters Vs aliens but those were short variants, this was the full logo)

Next, on the big screen I was able to actually notice many small details the uncanny valley of the background characters, how messed up the eyes of the dove man were and facial expressions of certain characters, its almost like they put more love into the MC but everyone else they gave all the MC characters what looked like motion capture (its not but it looked like it is) I also noticed a few minor easter eggs such as when Shrek is packing after meeting the fairy godmother, one of the photos on his suitcase looks almost like a live action photo (I tried to screenshot it on YT but its too blurry).

On top of visual gags, I also noticed some audible background chatter in some scenes due to the big surround sound. For example, when Cinemasins did a video on Shrek 2, he sinned the Factory scene because he thought it was unrealistic that the workers were fooled by Shrek wearing a uniform on his head. However due to the surround sound. If you listen closely, you can hear one of the workers warning the guard that they saw an ogre which means that they were NOT fooled. (Mind blown)

So, in total seeing it on the big screen was a high step and maybe I will do the same in 3 years if the 3rd movie does one to

How do you think Shrek would have acted if he met Fiona when she was in ogre form?

This is something i’ve always wanted to see! I think it would’ve been love at first sight and him being both shocked and flustered. And Fiona being confused and flattered. We know Shrek thought human Fiona was pretty, but didn’t really start to fall in love until he got to know her better.

Shrek 4 was an acid trip

For me Shrek 4 felt like an acid trip because of the dimension shifting and characters becoming completely different. I constantly gaslight myself into thinking it wasn't weird but I vividly remember the scene where Rumpelstiltskin falls through like a yellow whirlpool. I also kinda like the third movie. I think Im just weird lol

I don't understand this.

why do people like shrek the 4th and not like shrek the 3rd in this group?

I don't like shrek the 4th , I mean it has "some" good bits and it just feels empty and kind of over-done really.

the puss in boots flim's are ok.

Is the "Ogre's are like onions" line meant to be ironic?

Is the "Ogre's are like onions" line meant to be ironic?

Its played straight...Ogre's have layers, like an onion....but an onion's layer's are all just onion. They're all the same...it's an illusion of depth.

I'd encountered the line years before the Shrek films, with the point being that someone claiming to have layers like an onion was bs-ing because of the above (cake's have different layers, fwiw).

I just see lots of people use they layers line from Shrek like it's something deep, rather than what, at least I, think it was (a joke).

I’m making a Shrek 2 dinner scene crossover video, and later a Far Far Away Idol crossover video, with characters that aren’t from Shrek interacting with the Shrek characters and universe.

Which characters would you like to see me add?
