The DreamWorks Resurgence 

@@guilhermeteodosio40 Just came and that’s amazing!

I’ve been a Dreamworks fan my whole life (even while my whole family hated it) and I’m happy to say that they’re getting way better.

@@yeti_can_game sadly... no bro.

Why Give up a formula that works

@@neilhannan7525 Because DIsney do

And keep mocking the Rodent to the ground. Lol

The making of all the original projects now let’s see how that goes

See here’s the thing though, you know how Puss in Boots 2 took like, a decade to make right?

yep but the film was a box office flop so its unlikely

I hope they bring back rise of the guardians

No, because that movie was mid, maybe they can make me like it but no Pitch black again he was mid.

@@locosword3985 He's better than Drago Bludvist.

@@silverscorpio24 Who the-

That's going to be the biggest hurdle for Shrek 5: how do you further expand on Shrek himself? Shrek 1, 2, and 4 all did a good job illustrating how much he's come to value the people around him, so you'd have to take the character in a new direction. But what should that direction be? Shrek is nowhere near as brash and egotistical as Puss was, and he becomes pretty open and chill by the end of Shrek 4. I just don't know where you can take his character.

@@matthewmazzatto8003 the only thing I could think of is his Kids not wanting to be as Orgeish as him or something. Fatherhood is a avenue they could explore more.

@@cadis4257 I'm really hesitant about going the Fatherhood route with Shrek because of how poorly the Ice Age movies handled it. Maybe it could be done well and that's likely the best way to handle the supposed time jump from Shrek Forever After to Puss in Boots 2, but it still makes me leery. We'll see what approach they take soon enough I suppose.

@@matthewmazzatto8003 A few things come to mind: Since Puss by the end of the Last Wish has become this legend, a significant amount of time has passed which means Shrek is more or less in the position of giving advice to Puss since the latter has now focused on settling a new life with Kitty and Perrito. Besides his own kids potentially growing up and maybe one or two if not all of them desired to be human or any potential conflict, there could be the issue of addressing his true origins as an ogre. Heck, you can even bring back the ogres in the Forever After alternate timeline and see where they are now. After all, it sort of confirmed that there are other ogres except they just live in almost complete isolation of one another. Which brings us to a more deeper connection: Shrek's parents. A part of Shrek lore implied if not confirmed that Shrek was almost eaten as a baby by his father because he might have been an unworthy offspring (sort of like how Spartans throw away unwanted infants because they might be unhealthy or a curse or something). Heck, I won't be surprised or it would be cool that in the alternate timeline in Forever After where Shrek did not exist, his father might as well have eaten him there. In addition, there's also Donkey who might have an origin story worth of exploring. On a final note, we can even extend Shrek into a 6th film. But in this one, they should go with the risk of Shrek growing really old same with Fiona, bring back the aspect of mortality and inevitability of death and of course, the aspect of growing older and possibly dying. I mean if there will be a Puss in Boots 3, that is also the inevitable fate that is waiting for Puss.

@@theautumnwind8437 Well, that's more on becoming a father and not necessarily being a father 24/7 365 until the end of your life for your kids.

And when they do hit, they hit hard.

@@mythicaldragon4354 Boom

Disney and Pixar are school chemistry Dreamworks is aperture science

@@sev1120 inlcuding the almost going bankrupt

And then Illumination is a bootleg lab that gets a gun pointed at their heads to make the next big breakthrough

Another one of DreamWorks' most underrated movies. It's pretty faithful to the Captain Underpants books

totally agree, I loved the books as a kid. When this movie came out, at first i thought it was just gonna be terrible yet I was actually surprised at how good it was, the characters were amazing, story was good for a kids movie and while it has its potholes, it still stands out as a good movie.

I was obsessed with the series. Still am. The movie is one of my favorites of all time and I wish it wasn't overshadowed by other films.

the theme by weird al is also top notch

​@@beebs4283 best song in history ngl

Wow really? I never knew that! Extra props to them doing that in a age where every company chooses the anti-customer route. Like pay walling basic features or being anti-repair.

@@Sgt.Dornan117 In the meantime, there is my series, The Pensuke Files!

A lot of people I knew were meh about PIB:TLW until the extremely positive reviews came out with people freaking out over how good it was, then everyone I knew went out and saw it

The Last Wish is an example of how to make a good spinoff film, while Lightyear is the exact opposite.

It's expectations vs reality. Lightyear was supposed to be an epic adventure with a fairly well-known and well-loved character, and it turned out to be progressive crap. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, being a continuation of a spinoff from 10 years ago while destroying familiar characters, additionally with an 'annoying supporting character' turned out to be a perfectly balanced film where every character was interesting and Perrito was funny. So no surprise that Puss earned more in the long run.

They are like the opposites of each other. Everyone expected Lightyear to be a deep and mature film and the movie proceeded to be boring. Meanwhile, everyone expected nothing special from The Last Wish and got surprised by how well made it is.

That's why people should really stop judging box office of the opening night, and start judging the first month or so, because some movies won't start gaining traction until word of mouth spreads, and others will have an amazing first night, but then nose dive afterwards

Facts, f*ck shrek the turd

The most underrated film in the Shrek franchise.

Fax

It is genuinely amazing though

It genuinely pisses me off that no one's giving Forever After credit to this day. Even Schaffrillas is pissed!

While I don't like the cheap "Spider-Verse" animation style (same director), everything else was spot-on. It had a compelling hero, villains who ran the gamut of how villains work (redeemable, complete monster, force of nature), no wokeness, and they didn't try to "update" the story for a "modern audience", which really means a woke audience which mostly doesn't exist outside of a handful of blue left coast inner cities.

​​@@Nonamearisto look you can have opinions about animations, but when you call the animation that was so good it would influence ANOTHER amazing movie, you'd hardly call it cheap

@Aristocles Bro, can you not bring that negative political talk around here?! We're talking about DreamWorks movies it's not THAT deep. Puss and Boots the last wish is a fantastic movie with a great story, but you act like it was solely made to not be "wOkE" Also, that word WOKE has just been thrown around and abused for almost a decade at this point. People are so ignorant about the original meaning and context of the word nowadays its honestly sad. I understand some of your frustrations, like with race swapping established characters and especially changing their sexualities. But now it just feels like people use woke to hate on ANYTHING relating to different sexualities or minorities. Even if the show or movie is actually really good.

@@Nonamearisto 💀

@@superstardoughball9822 It's still cheaply done. A good model for saving money on animation.

Dreamworks was pretty much MIA after Kung Fu Panda 3 released. I know HTTYD3 was a hit in 2019, but that was their lone good win during that 6-year timeframe. They had some decent flicks with Captain Underpants and The Bad Guys and Abominable was close to working, but the rest of their output for those 6 years was rough. Two Trolls jukebox musicals for toddlers, two weird Boss Baby movies, and the absolute worst film they've ever released in Spirit Untamed. Yeah, they still occasionally had a watchable movie, but it felt like the Dreamworks of Old was gone. Then Puss in Boots the Last Wish took over the internet. If they can get through 2023 in good shape and really hone in on what made PiB:tLW work for their future works, then maybe we'll truly see a Dreamworks resurgence.

Im starting to realise I grew up more with DreamWorks then Disney

Especially since merfolks we’re not portrayed as good before the lil mermaid came to be

What I find funny about this movie is how similar the mermaid looks to the Disney little mermaid and that both teen kraken and the live action little mermaid are coming out around the summer

Only problem I have is the voice of the main character. I could not handle that for 90 minutes man

It's nice to know that DreamWorks still mocks Disney.

I like that idea as well as it's more in line with Mermaids in their original folklore and myths where they are evil, sometimes monstrous and grotesque creatures that lure sailors underwater to eat them.

The Prince of Egypt is a passion project Katzenberg had since his Disney days, and it shows with the amount of care and effort he and the team put into it. It was also one of the reasons he left Disney, as the other executives wouldn’t green-light the project.

It’s on par with Jonah a VeggieTales Movie as my favorite Christian film.

I grew up with it, quite literally. As a kid I just hated the weird proportions of animated characters. I just straight up refused to watch some animated films, with some exceptions. Like Toy Story, Megamind and a few others. I loved the 2D animated films. They just looked so much nicer. I loved Basil the great mouse detective, The sword I the stone and Aladdin. But I loved The Prince of Egypt even more. I used to sing the songs all the time. I still love it.

The Prince of Egypt was not Dreamwork's first film...

Same!

@@thewitheredstriker I hope to be able to watch the movie!

@@orrorsaness5942 I bet you will :D hope you'll have fun!

Aged like milk

seeing how they went so many ideas and see how it works and not its always has a good storytelling and villains

I also enjoy DreamWorks for that. Plus, their shows over the last decade have honestly been good to great (with some exceptions I won’t name to avoid less… savory fanatics I’ll say). Their shows are honestly one of the only reasons I keep Netflix around, though I know they’ll soon be switching platforms.

@@jendoe9436 Amen man 👨

Me too

I felt my brain rot at the grammar on display, but I getcha.

I don’t think anyone believes Dreamworks would be dead. Irrelevant at worst maybe.

Finally someone understands Dreamworks' identity.

ay fellow Croods appreciator 🤝

Yes! The Croods is a gorgeous movie that still brings me to tears and pure laughter. A film that I was so thankful to see on the big screen.

Lol yeah, Croods was great

Yes! The original Croods is my absolute favorite! I have so many of that film's fantastically hilarious quotes living rent free in my head!

The Croods saga deserves more love. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or in any other fancy way. It deserves more love, straight up.

The new character models are so much more expressive and the art style is gorgeous. It's hard to go back and watch the older movies.

Imagine remakes of the first two Shrek films where everything is the same except with the style and animation of Puss in Boots 2. While I’m usually against remakes this is one I’d be down for, because it be of an up-to-date re-animation rather than a soullous reboot.

I agree. Really hope it gets a sequel soon.

Eh, it's valid, i guess. But i have to agree, the bad guys has a very unique charm, and i definitly enjoyed it.

I think marmalade figured out the five’s temperaments somehow

Oooo, yes!

Yeah!

Dreamworks has been the king of sequels since Shrek 2. Outside of the snooze-fest that is Shrek the Third and the utter desecration known as Spirit Untamed, basically every sequel and spinoff they've made has either been better than the original and/or outstanding in its own right.

Yeah disney's never been good with sequels

@@QUBIQUBED Amen! In the meantime, There is The Pensuke Files!

@@QUBIQUBED m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5wiSa76zvro.html

I would say the first two Toy Story movies but yeah I do kind of agree but at the same time yeah to be honest I do feel like these days Disney really need to step up their game

Agreed

Shrek, Boss Baby and The Bad Guys are also based on books!

HTTYD, Rise of the Guardians, Home, and I guess technically The Prince of Egypt are based on books. Captain Underpants is from a comic book series. Mr. Peabody and Sherman is from an older show. Trolls is loosely based on the toy-line. And their shows are also a mix of books, shows, or other IP (such as Jurassic Park with Camp Cretaceous, and Voltron).

It's based on a book the same way the Shrek movies are. They basically took a few ideas and the character names and made it from scratch.

Madagascar was also based on a book

@@traviscunningham7062 Are you sure cause i couldn't find anything on that

Nope

And to some extent KFP 4 (But I think people can still like it)

@@TitanJonkler Well, at least we have Orion and the Dark, despite being ignored.

@@arrowentertainment8739 hopefully The Wild Robot redeems them.

I swear, kung fu panda would look so good in that style, I'm realy exited about kung fu panda 4.

Or even a tv show!

I think he got removed as the director.

Nope

Isn’t ironic in the slightest if you actually bothered to watch the video.

My favorite joke from the Boss Baby movie is when they’re trying to figure out how to get to Vegas. I was with a friend at the time and I immediately joked with her. “Watch, it will be via an Elvis impersonator.” Sure enough, down the escalator in the bright glow of cheesy, heavenly light, a whole band of Elvis impersonators 🤣 both our jaws dropped at how accurate my prediction was, and my friend accused me of reading it somewhere! Nope, I just knew the stereotype of Elvin impersonators in Vegas. She still accused me of being psychic 😂 ever since, that movie has a special place in my heart due to that wonderful memory. That, and the Netflix show was actually really entertaining 👍

Also he was an adorable Villain

Wouldn't be the first time DreamWorks made something that made fun of Disney. In the first Shrek film, Lord Farquaad's face was modeled after Michael Eisner, who was the CEO of Disney at the time.

@@michaelstrong5383 Oh wow XD the people that work at Dreamworks are mad lads lol

​@@michaelstrong5383 The whole Shrek film is just a "Take that!" to Disney

Chelsea absolutely slays

In Shrek 2, Fiona tosses a red-headed, green tailed movie into a shark frenzy because the mermaid was making out with Shrek 😂 DreamWorks has zero quarrels about poking fun at Disney and Shrek is the obvious cumulation of years worth of spite against the mouse.

Didn’t he already say his opinion of it in the Velma video?

@@quangamershyguyyz7166 I was waiting for a more in detail opinion lol

And the wolf is a kid friendly version of Gaunter O Dimm from Hearts of Stones. Looks like the writers are fans of the games/books 😅
