To be a kid again in the early 00’s!! Shrek, Nickelodeon, Pixar’s Peak, Disney Channel etc. We took it for granted and social media didn’t exist

The fact that "antz" did better critically than The Prince of Egypt does not inspire confidence in critics

As a kid, my whole personality was based around the Shrek movies it was also so funny watching a "kids" movie where me parents also enjoyed very much. another video, another banger!

also, another point about shrek was how the actors chosen to be the VAs, unlike disney who most likely aproached "family friend" actors, like Tom Hanks and Robbin Willians at the time, opted for more "niched' celebrities, like Mike Myers, an actor mostly know for his parodies, and Cameron Diaz, a sex symbol by the time the movie was made.

its shrek's world, we just live in it

Shrek is a good movie, but it bothered me that this turned away studios from wanting to make cel based animated films anymore. And also the failure of Titan A.E. in the box office. But then, I'm old, so I'm not good at adapting to change. 🤷‍♂️

I genuinely wonder what would happen if "Monsters, Inc." took home the Academy Award instead of "Shrek". Now that Pixar made a more financially-successful and award-winning film, would people look at "Shrek" with a different perspective? Great video!

Another banger from FilmStack👌

The fact that shrek is my favorite movie

Shrek was a childhood blast and also he was the animation freak that took everything by storm

Never thought of Shark Tale as trying to copy the formula of Shrek because the premise was so different, but more of an animated retelling of a mafia movie... That being said, I'd love to hear your thoughts (if you have any) about Shrek 2, because I feel like that's the only sequel I've ever thought was way better than the original. Nothing compares to that film imo

Adding on to the ending of the video, the thing about this recent new era of animation (mostly its reception by people) that kind of rubs me the wrong way is the way every movie that grants a new take on animated hybridism is almost immediately associated with Spider-Verse: Yes, the film is a very important foundation to the way studios have been more open to give more freedom to the art form and how the artists can influence the story in more ways than before, but it's kind of a bummer to see people generally defining it as "Spiderverse style" or something, even when the only thing those works share in common is the experimentation of form. "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish" doesn't really share any visual particular simmilarities with the Spider-Verse films besides the 2D-3D hybrid approach (which was in constant exploration even before Spider-Verse, like with Blue Sky's "The Peanuts Movie"), it goes for this beautiful digital painting style while the first Spider-Verse was more about capturing the frantic feeling of comic books, yet the comparisons were constant. The influence that Spider-Verse has had in the past few years is very clear and extremely welcome, but it's not about a specific style, it's about the freedom of choice for artists that want to find the best, most fitting possible visual experimentation to their work. We really shouldn't be giving studios and executives the notion that we want them to dwell into same-y spaces of visual storytelling, but rather the flavor of experimentation and variety; it's great to have many different studios trying their own thing, be it 3D, 2D, stop-motion and whatever else lies behind the somewhat repressed creativity folks in the animation industry are just waiting for their opportunity to share.

Keep up the grat work

Releasing a video about animation now that is NOT just band wagoning about how Steamboat Willie is public domain is very classy!

By the way, I hope you talk about The Cat in the Hat 2003 movie? That movie was like a failed attempt on trying to be a live-action Shrek movie.

How many of you know that Chris Farley was originally cast to voice Shrek and even recorded some bits for the Film? (and was replaced by Mike Myers cos‘ he tragically passed away?)

Great review, I love Shrek, one of the best movies ever!😀😃

'Bullets and Blockbusters' video about the Farley version.

In the scoring community Hans Zimmer has often been a divisive figure. His company employs dozens of composers and it isn't always clear who is doing what, but since it's all under the HZ brand, his name is all we ever see.

10:34 Ahh, I see what you did there! Subtle.

'Some-body on-ce told me...'

For me I think John Powell and Harry Gregson-Williams deserve the main credit for the Antz score. I really don't like the film, but man the soundtrack in that is just amazing. They also both composed the soundtrack for Shrek. And John Powell always gives his A game even if it is a bad animated film. He has made many bad animated films a lot more tolerable even if the movie itself sucks. Also I am not too confident in the animation industry sadly. Dreamwork's still has a very rocky output of films, and once Spider-verse is done I'm not sure what will work next. Spider-verse is up there with Toy Story and Shrek on the most influential animated films and I feel like that formula will get stale like it did with the other two. I think the main issue here is Pixar. The story and themes of their older movies used to be very deep and mature for "kids films", resulting in critics and audiences loving every release. It was crazy how many hits they had. Now I think the movies are way less mature and are not very well thought through. They are average crowd pleasers that don't really go against the grain or say something new like all the original Pixar films did. And maybe even Disney will end up closing Pixar in the near distant future because of how similar their films are now to theirs.

" and in the morning , im making waffles "

Shrek actually did think that love was only true in fairy tales, like I'm a Believer said.

Que for do Brasil FAÇA O HURRO!!

Well smash mouth all star for some came into with mystery men. To this day very underrated film.

The Year 1995 in Movies

Oh, this isn’t about Snow White😂😂😂😂

Don't be foolish. This film didn't do anything for animation that hadn't already been done before and better.

I think that one of the main reasons that Shrek did so freaking well is because, if we're being honest with ourselves, Shrek is really an adult movie that kids can also enjoy just as much.

DONT INSULT CHICKEN LITTLE I SWEAR TO GOD YOU’VE GOT ME RAGING OVER HERE

DreamWorks was much better at appealing to adults

in my opinion the best animated feature wouldn't exist as we know it if Beauty&the Beast hadn't been nominated for best picture a decade earlier

And now, animation is changing forever again, thanks to Spider-Verse. Speaking of which, I liked Across the Spider-Verse better than Into the Spider-Verse.

Hey Make a video on Kung Fu Panda It has one of the best visuals, music, comedy, action and etc
