My wife watches SHREK 2 for the FIRST time || Movie Reaction 

Maaan that rendition of "I Need A Hero" with the trio charging towards the castle is still one of the best, funniest, scenes in animation 👏🏽😂

It's actually a fun little detail; in the original Puss in Boots story, Puss in Boots defeats a massive Ogre (albeit by tricking him into turning mouse and eating him). So when the ugly stepsister says that there's only one guy who can kill and ogre, that's a direct reference to the original fairy tale

Well I am not sure this helps you see the Fairy Godmother as a better villain but it is heavily implied (given none of this is out right stated in the movies) that the Fairy Godmother was the original witch that put the Oger curse on Fiona in the first place and set up the whole scenario of her being locked away in a tower so that one day her son "Charming" would rescue Fiona, breaking said curse and fall in love with him so she through her son would have control over the Kingdom of Far Far Away. So yes, she created this whole conflict in the first place as a power move to control the Kingdom and get a lay for her son!

One of the greatest sequels of all time. The Fairy Godmother. Puss in Boots. I Need a Hero. Just brilliant.

The “Knights” bit with the “White Bronco” being an OJ Simpson reference will always make me laugh out loud

I can’t BELIEVE she likes Lord Farquad more as a villain than Fairy Godmother! I just could never take him serious at all 😂 hope you guys continue to do the rest!

Oh hey its the best sequel of all time.

The I need a hero scene is absolutely my favourite scene in any movies guaranteed goosebumps. Shrek 1 is a great movie best in the Shrek series, Shrek 2 is just a perfect sequal. Grows characters and movies story forward without any retrace. Not many sequels can claim that.

I just have to say that I love Puss & Boots because he's basically Cat Zorro😅 I'll never forget the hype around this movie as a kid. They fully delivered a great sequel.😂😂

On a side note, Shrek is actually the reason why Eddie Murphy didn’t reprise his role as Mushu from Mulan for Mulan 2. He apparently has a rider in his contract stating that he can’t do more than one film at a time.

That police scene is my favourite scene in the Shrek franchise, I love the stereotypical dark humour in it, the black guy (Donkey) gets brutality, the Spanish guy (Puss) gets caught with "cat nip" and the white guy (Shrek) gets off easy. 😂

If I recall, the creators said the potion turned Dragon into a Pegasus, a REALLY talkative one, so they ended up cutting her out of the movie until the end. (It also would have made *certain* things more difficult to hide.)

I'd be down for more Shrek. Been so long since I've seen them. I was right there with Jen when Shrek was surrounded by those 3 women in the barn...

WOOOO!!!!! This is my favorite Shrek movie and I'm so happy you guys are doing more from the series

Always laughs when Gingy says "it looks like we're up a chocolate creek without a popsicle stick" 😂 I love the take on "looks like were up sh*ts creek without a paddle" 😂

Really appreciate you guys not being sell outs or fake. Your reactions and personalities set the standard at a highbar. God Bless

When Fiona told donkey that a witch cast a spell on her, it was actually the fairy godmother.

My favourite part about this movie, is when the king enters the bar and the female frog "Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" and the king says no. At the ending of the movie when the king becomes his true self, we learn he was actually a frog who turned into a human, which explains the comment from the lady frog. Basically impossible to notice unless you watch the movie more than once.

Definitely one of my favorite animated movies, so happy you guys reacted to it 😎

This is the best Shrek film in my eyes, and just a great example of what a good sequel should do. It perfectly builds off the characters and themes of the original, and advances and develops them in ways that feel appropriate and effective. Also, it has the best climactic setpiece ever put to film, and is hysterically funny to boot, with some of the best gags in the entire series: - The "are we there yet?" scene - The entire awkward dinner - Shrek pretending to be from the union (one of those jokes that gets funnier the older you get) - The COPS parody - Everyone in the Starbucks panicking when Mongo shows up...and running into _another_ Starbucks right across the street

So, intersting behind the scenes. There were questions on if Dragon transformed when Donkey took the potion. And according to the creators, they had originally planned to have her come in as a pegasus, and she was going to help. But with the twist they had at the end, they decided not to move forward with that. But in their head canon... Yes, she still transformed into the pegasus.

Well now that Jen saw the character of puss in boots, you guys should watch Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. Because honestly it’s one of the best movies of 2022 and one of the best animated movies ever, on par with the spider-verse movies.

The best thing about the Shrek franchise is that it continually finds new and interesting ways to bring in other fairy tales and nursery rhymes to create great stories. While I love the first one more, Shrek 2 isn't far behind.

I love the way the Shrek franchise contains so many references and nods to fairy tales and nursery rhymes. One of the great things in Shrek 2 is thoughout the movie it hints that King Harold was the frog from the princess and the frog story (A tapestry of lillipads in his bedroom, he talks about his first date with the Queen by the lillipond). And the fairy godmother is only able to manipulate the king by telling him that she can just as easily take away his happily ever after (becoming a human and marrying the princess). Just makes the reveal at the end that much more deserved.

Fun fact: In the special features of the DVD, there's a skit called "Far Far Away Idol" which is basically a rip-off of American Idol complete with an actual Simon Cowell appearance, and you get to pick the winner.

I definitely never picked up on the nothing to rub and the white bronco references as a kid. Shit was hilarious.

the amount of nostalgia this gave me, thank u for reminding me of my childhood! LOVE U GUYS

This isn't just my favourite Shrek films, it's one of my favourite comedies of all time!

Fun fact: The Muffin man was actually a child murderer in the 16th century. The song was supposedly written to warn kids away from Drury Lane.

If you continue with the shrek franchise I will love for you guys to get to Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. The film was the biggest surprise of 2022 in the film industry in my opinion with its visual presentation, story structure, character developments, and underlining messages that were all phenomenal across the board. This is now one of my favorite animated films and I hope you two get around to seeing it! ♥

I'm glad y'all are continuing the Shrek movies! I hope you guys continue on watching the sequels. Plus, in my opinion Shrek 2 is just great or better than the first film.

Best sequel EVER!😂🙏

How am I now just realizing Shrek 2 had a mid credit scene 😭 I always thought the kids was just a off movie thing tbh 😂

I still believe that Shrek 2 is better than Shrek 1. I love it so much!

All these years later and I'm only now discovering that Shrek 2 had a post credit scene.

When they approached David Bowie to request the use of his song “Changes”. He said yes, when he heard the singer, he liked it so much he recorded the backing vocals for her version of his song! One of my favorite bits of trivia.

Best movie in the franchise

I’m glad that Jen enjoyed Shrek 2. There were so many references to many other films that as a kid, I didn’t understand the alien reference. You guys neeed! To watch the first puss in boots to see his origin story and to better understand the sencond one(the last wish)

Shrek 2 is commonly referred to as sequel rarely better than the first. Especially at that time in cinema.

When Shrek meets the parents in front of the crowd and he's met with silence, whoever is responsible for the crying baby created perfection. It makes the scene 100× funnier

When Fairy godmother sings We Need a Hero was a great cinematic sequence.

amazing movie! so glad you guys are finally continueing this series!

Glad you guys are going to continue with the series. The I need a hero scene is such a iconic moment. Every time I hear Antonio in anything else all I think is Puss in Boots

You have no idea how happy this has made me! I honestly thought youd never end up doing 2 and shrek + hardman is my golden apple. Thanks guys!!

Dragon was supposed to be in this movie too, the creators stated she would have transformed into a talking pegasus

Your guys channel is amazing. With everything goin on I come to this channel to let everything go. You both are amazing.

Shrek 2 is definitely one of the best sequels of all time outdoing the first one in every conceivable way

I’ve always loved the second shrek more than the first. Now the next movies to follow aren’t as good, but I do think y’all should still watch.

At the end when puss says they're off to the kitty cat club. It's a reference to the Kit Kat club in Berlin which is a famous sex club.

Great to see more animated stuff! Would love for them to go through some of pixars classics.

Antonio Banderas did the cat voice in english but also in spanish! what a talented man.

This one is my personal favorite. I remember the dvd for this movie had some mini games on it. Some fond memories. Hope all is well with you both and your family!

loved shrek 2

The 3rd one has its moments but the 4th one is outstanding. In my rankings, it's 2, 4, 1, 3.

been waiting for this ! im so excited to see jen’s reaction for this one & you too since like you said you don’t remember much of it, also excited for you guys to react the rest of the shrek movies

“But Muffin Cake!” 🤣🤣

Shrek is Love, Shrek is Life.

I feel like Shrek is timeless and Shrek 2 has a little too much of the 00's flavor and references in it, in a positive way for the folks that saw it at the time but it's not aging as well as Shrek 1.

@Holden Hardman Aside from the 3rd and 4th theatrical movie there were two television specials for Shrek that are worth checking out. Those were Shrek the Halls (a Christmas special) and Scared Shrekless (a Halloween special). Then there was also Shrek 4-D, one of those 3-D virtual movie coaster type amusement park rides who had its own story. While the ride itself no longer exist, the story/movie footage for the ride has been aired on TV and streaming services and was put on DVD going by alternate titles like Shrek 3-D, Shrek's Never Before Seen Adventure and The Ghost of Lord Farquaad.

Look at Jenn catching references, So proud! 🥲

Our school had a Shrek: The Musical And it went terribly Shrek was played by a girl, Donkey was played by a girl, Pinocchio was played by a girl, lord farquad was played by a girl And a special ed student walked onto the stage during one of the songs, about being weird (which the chorus teacher told him to do) And the chorus students only found out that was planned AFTER the play, and then told us

I love the 2nd one much more than the first one! I havent watch the 1st in like a long time, while I have watched Shrek 2 like 6 times this year haha

Apparently Dragon was supposed to be part of the finale having transformed into a Pegasus.

The bird slappin the wall is priceless 😂

One cool thing about the "I need a hero" scene is that it plays over the original soundtrack that is used in the first movie when Shrek Fiona and Donkey run away from the dragon/when Shrek and Donkey fly on dragon to go crash the wedding. It's like Shrek's hero theme is fighting back against the villain's song

The definitive best sequel in cinema history!

SHREK 2 IS THE BEST! I hope yall finish out this series

I did not know that I needed this reaction at 12am on the District Line, but I did and it kept me awake 🙏🏻❤️

I love the line, "I say we hold him down & give him the Bob Barker treatment." 😂

SHREK FOREVER AFTER is really underrated, and what's nice is you can skip the third one and still follow it perfectly!

I need a hero is shrek 2 is honestly peak cinema

Nice Shrek t-shirts keep up the amazing work and content glad to subscribe to your channel and got the notification bell on

'Ice Age' is another amazing animated movie that deserves a review.

How is it possible you didn’t watch these growing up? 🤯 I’m very happy you got to watch it at last! Also, these are way funnier in Spanish ♥️

Yes! Diving into this now!

The Puss in boots movies are actually really good. The second one especially.

This is our families fav Shrek movie. So much humor including references to other pop culture movies.

Holy crap, how is it that I never got the ginger cat saying, “I hate Mondays,” before? All the times I’ve seen this and I always missed that reference.

I remember seeing this in theater when I wad 13! Ppl were laughing the whole way. Definitely the best Shrek film!

17:40, in the spanish dub Puss says "Por ti baby sería Batman" -> "For you baby I could be Batman".

Great reaction you guys I actually agree quit a bit with the score you guys gave it I think it's around an 8 as well I just love watching all your reactions hearing your thoughts about everything and please read this whole thing even though it's long you don't have to but I'd like that I think the first shrek is more medieval cause of the castle and the dragon and when shrek is wearing the medieval kind of armour and it's just older and has a special theme and feeling to it that is really hard to beat and everytime you guys post a new video I feel happiness I love watching almost every video you guys do I also think you guys are cute together and hope that you guys live a long and wonderful life together and absolutely cannot wait to see your next reaction love you guys

This is a childhood movie and it is the best shrek by far!!! The I need a hero and the handsome shrek and donkey are hilarious. This movie just brings back so many memories and nostalgia. You both also NEED to watch the new Puss in Boots because it is hilarious and is honestly a very good movie in general + Antonio Banderas is the 🐐

Holden, I have a question. Have you and Jen ever seen Top Gun? If not, you really should. As well as the second one.

Shrek is sick in unique franchise and I love it.

Holds up way better than the first one, to be honest

Their was a Shrek X-Mas Tv special om NBC TV too. Also a Halloween one too. Both were funny as heck.

18:35 Why am I finding this SO hilarious??.... 😅🤭 Guys, seriously, this was one of the first memes when there wasn't even any internet around! 🤭😂🤣

I used to know this movie by heart, word for word.

On my country's dub, the dialogue from 16:37 is like this 😂: "No, *I'll* give him a kiss!" "And I'll give something... Better."

I don’t know if it happens to anyone else but when Puss says “Go! Go! Your lady needs you. Go!” the “Today… I repay my debt.” I get all the chills. Something about Puss having the honor to repay his debt by accepting his potential death

More Shrek! But honestly I’d love for Holden to see the second Puss in Boots, that movie is phenomenal!

Have always wondered what Dragon must have transformed into when Donkey became the Stallion?

The Garfield reference at 18:35 😂 I never caught that until now

Everytime I see Prince Charming I can't unsee Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones lmao

Can’t believe you did that. I love horror movies and I wouldn’t do that. You have my respect and my subscription.

3 and 4 get a lot of hate but both are still very enjoyable especially the 4th. I think it has a strong story and it's executed pretty well

The union joke is still my favorite but in all the Shrek movies. (With Mongo’s Godzilla joke a close second)

Shrek 3 and 4 next please

This was great. If you haven’t watched them before I would really love if you guys continue with Dreamworks reaction videos in general like Kung Fu Panda and How to train your dragon

This is honestly my favorite Shrek film out of all four! There is a theory that Fairy Godmother was the one who placed the curse on Fiona to ensure that Charming would be the only one who could break the curse. Also in the original draft of Shrek 2, Dragon’s original name was revealed to be Elizabeth. 👹👩🏻‍🦰👸🏼🤴🏼🧚🏻‍♀️🍄🌹✨💚
