As Reddit user u/ZacktheKingsfan shares, Shrek and Fiona remaining as ogres “reaffirmed the message” that was presented in the first Shrek. Simon Phillip Cowell ( / kal / born 7 October 1959) is an English television personality, entrepreneur and record executive. Shrek 2 isn’t just a sequel, but a continuation of Shrek and Fiona’s love story amidst the backdrop of a twisted fairytale world. Some of whom (like Prince Charming and his mother, Fairy Godmother) look down on the marriage and seek to destroy the two ogres from their happy ever after. As it turns out, Far Far Away resembles big, consumerist cities like New York or Los Angeles, and is filled with new fairytale characters from Fiona’s past. The two - along with Donkey, of course - trek to a land Far Far Away, where Fiona’s parents, King Harold and Queen Lillian, are preparing a royal ball for the newlyweds. The honeymoon is over for Shrek and Fiona, and now it’s time to meet the in-laws. It’s a movie that doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet has kept a strong fan-base even 20 years later. Aside from its many memorable moments, according to Redditor u/_Wadsy_, the movie that spearheaded a franchise has an overall fun plot, a great villain, and a beautiful friendship that formed between Shrek and Donkey. Smash Mouth's “All Star,” after all, will forever be associated with the movie’s opening montage and vivid imagery of Shrek’s swamp. Since 2001, Shrek has gone on to become a pinnacle of culture. The plot is fairly straightforward as with any fairytale story, but Shrek challenges these tropes all the same. This leads to the duo on a dangerous mission to rescue Princess Fiona, filled with many musical montages and moments of self-discovery. He acts as a judge in Far Far Away Idol (a parody of American Idol). Shrek and Donkey’s friendship forms as they trek across Duloc, hoping to regain his swamp from Lord Farquad. Simon Cowell appeared in a bonus segment shown on the Shrek 2 DVD and VHS. The early aughts were filled with exciting animated films, but Shrek offered a buddy story that had never seen before on screen. But the story of Puss in Boots didn’t end there, as the character continues to show up in television shows and movies even today. So what about this sword-wielding cat was so appealing for fans almost nearly a decade after the first Shrek premiered? Reddit user u/Daviddv1202 explains, not did Puss in Boots have “one of the best soundtracks in the whole saga,” but it’s script also weaved in a great amount of action sequences with character background. The 2011 movie brought inn over $500 million from the box office during it’s run and received an Academy Award nomination the following year. And careful not to mess with the timeline of the Shrek saga, the creators set Puss’s story two years prior to his appearance in Shrek 2. Meet the Spartans is a 2008 American parody film written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. The movie followed the titular furry fugitive on his lawless adventures. With this in mind, Puss in Boots became the franchise’s first origin story/prequel for a side character. The success of Shrek, in part, can be attributed to its beloved characters and their own stories. ![]()
