I wonder how many people even remember that the character of Zorro existed, let alone that Puss in Boots was a parody of Antonio Banderas' recent depiction of him in The Mask of Zorro (1998.) The European fairy tale character Puss in Boots was a talking cat famous for killing an ogre by tricking him into transforming into a mouse and eating him. He was known for his deceitful intelligence and ability to manipulate people, and the strange habit of walking upright in a man's boots. He was often depicted as well-dressed, sometimes with the feathered hat, but the cape, sword, fighting style, and association with Spanish cultures all came from Banderas and Zorro. Now they are synonymous and nobody remembers why. lol

Sequels in general are considered better across media, early movie culture and a bad reputation because most movies before Star Wars were book adaptations, generally losing the story of the series in the sequel or changing it for a cash grab. But since Star Wars, there is about a 50:50 sequel beings amazing. If you look at major releases going back since 1980 4:13 (ESB release) you have Aliens, Rocky 2, Halloween 2 and Star Trek 2. There’s a few others on that list considered great sequels, and every year since follows the math, making your argument completely void of logic😂

There are a lot of little details that point out that the King was indeed the same prince who turned into a frog from the fairy tale. His clothing and the decorations around the castle and in King & Queen's bedroom have lots of green on them and the picture by their bedside has the King walking on a bridge above a lily pond, the Queen's comment on "their first kiss by the lily pond", the female frog recognizing him at the bar, Fairy Godmother mentioning how she helped him get his own "Happily Ever After".

Fun fact, Antonio Banderas has done the English and spanish version of puss since this movie aired, and he said that he liked the spanish version more. Therefore the creators decided to give it a chance at the latin-american dub and have since stayed that that's the best version of the movie, even more than the original.

@fangirl_43 Ай бұрын

Yeah, I've heard about it too! I've always only seen the movies in Spanish ever since I was little and the jokes I've heard now in English are really good but they don't compare to the Spanish ones. I believe there was also a story about how the director went to a screening of the movie in Spanish (but not sure if was 1 or 2) and he noticed the audience laughing more than the screenings on the US and had no idea why so he thought they must've done a great job with the dub

Prior to this, I never knew that the sequel to an animated film could surpass the original. Animated movies always had “direct to VHS” sequels that never lived up to the originals. As a kid it was hard to be excited for this movie. I literally walked out of the theater with my life utterly changed. Everything I thought I knew about what an animated sequel could be was completely flipped on its head. And studios realized the new reality of what they could be as well. This changed so much in the entertainment industry for the mainstream.

Shrek 2 not only my favorite film in the franchise but it’s easily one of the greatest animated/Sequels of all time. Also it introduce my favorite character in the whole franchise aka Puss in Boots.

Eric and Aaron I love how you two were bobbing your heads in sync with the music at 3:52 😂

Fun fact: in the Polish dub, when the giant gingerbread man dies his last words are "drink milk". Which my mom tells me was the tagline for a bunch of health PSAs that were on Polish TV around the time Shrek 2 came out

In the Puss and Boots fairy tale, the cat kills and ogre, so having him being hired to assassinate Shrek was so clever.

Now Eric shall realize how truly necessary Shrek 2 was!

it has finally been long enough to be forgotten. So many reactors have mentioned when Charming first reveals his hair how he is Jaime Lannister, but that connection is gone.

One thing I noted rewatching this movie is how well the references are utilised. They're funny if you get them, but they also fit in the scene seamlessly even if you don't get the reference.

So many Friday nights in fall 2004 after this came out on DVD, we’d come home from school and watch until Friday night pizza arrived. ❤

When my kids were little, we always did the Are we there yet skit on car trips. That scene always brings a smile to my face. Eric, after the ending when the king turns into a frog, did you connect to the tavern scene where the girl frog asks him if they have met before?

Man shrek 2 is just non stop jokes hit after hit after hit. Its by far the best. I like them all. Probably my order is 2413 but 3 isnt terrible. Ive never seen any of the puss in boots movies. I heard the most recent one is really good. Maybe I should hit those up this weekend.

Puss in Boots is a great additional to the cast

Along with Gremlins (my favorite movie of all time/highly recommend watching it if you haven't already), this is one of the movies from my childhood that I've seen the most in my life. As well as the first SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, the live-action Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed, Gremlins 2 (also deserves a watch), Jim Carrey's Grinch, and Over the Hedge. 💚

Shrek 2 is legit one of the funniest animated movies ever, it threads the line of being for kids.

@NoArmsSally Ай бұрын

This is inarguably the best sequel ever made. The internet and society decided this. No sequel ever tops this film.

I always thought it was just the bubbles popping that left the water droplets when she dies, never considered the tears that summoned the fairy godmother in those bubbles!! Mind blown.

"Theyll write your name on the bathroom wall" is a crazy ass line for a kids movie and i love it 😂😂

Oh i love Shrek 2! I can’t decide if I prefer Shrek 1 or Shrek 2, either way I really love them and i really love listening to I Need a Hero by Jennifer Saunders, it’s so iconic!! I remember on dvd i use to play Far Far Away idol, that was fun also. Oh also the Uk version of the film as different actors (for example, the Ugly step sister is voiced by Jonathan Ross and the Red Carpet Announcer is voiced by Kate Thornton) some of the dialogue is altered too.

33:05 the old crusade injury joke is also probably a reference to Monty Python and the holy Grail because, ya know, the crusades

Fun fact the filmmakers confirmed that Dragon had scenes in the movie that were cut do to test screenings, and also because the story bit would add to much bloat to the movie but they did say she turned a Pegasus thanks to the potion and she would of helped watch the house while they were gone and fly the friends to help rescue Shrek and co.

As far as I know the 'Enough Reggie!' With the trumpet guy when they aerive to take them to Far Far Away is a reference to Elton John, whos birthname is Reginald 😂
