>>220707753He was short.
>>220707774
>>220707753He's a manlet
>>220707753Be born the wrong height
>>220707753he had the mama bear killed and turned into a rug
>>220707753He, like Shrek, was abnormal. However, Shrek fought for what he wanted, specifically going on a journey to save a princess just to get people out of his swamp. He put in the effort to get what he wanted. Farquaad did not. He outsourced the work to get the princess. He wanted to take the easy route. That is why he failed.
>>220707753He was a fucking midget, automatically in the wrong
Lord Farquaad is proof that even if you have a conventionally handsome face, it doesn’t matter if you’re short
>one year before Shrek 2 premiered, they released a 12 minutes 4-D short for Universal theme parks in which the ghost of Farquaad tries to murder Fiona so she becomes his spirit queen and he becomes king of the underworldThat was stupid of them
Do you think Fiona's cousin from 3 will reappear in 5 or will he be ignored again like in 4?
>2001: Shrek>2003: Shrek 4-D>2004: Shrek 2>2007: Shrek the Third, Shrek the Halls>2010: Shrek Forever After, Scared Shrekless>2027: Shrek 5Hope they came up with something good for 5. It isn't like they didn't have time to do so
HAHA HES SHORT
>>220707753He launched pogroms against magical creatures
Is 5'9 manlet?
>Charming throws the wand at Fairy Godmother, and then disappears for the rest of the movie (outside of a very quick gag in the party ending almost 4 minutes later). His reaction to his mother's death isn't shown and all the other characters instantly forget about himThat was sloppy

Glad that Incredibles won that academy award, despite Shrek 2 grossing more money domestically and internationally
He didn do nuffin
>May 18, 2001The first movie is the only one created in the 90s and before 9/11
>>220708487>Puss stays behind to fight a small army of knights>inexplicably appears in the very next scene not even a minute laterthe whole thing was fucked
I honestly think Shrek 2 could've used a delay to fix a few issues. Too bad DreamWorks wasn't in a position to do so. They lost a lot of money with that Sinbad movie and needed the Shrek sequel in theaters as soon as possible
>Fiona's father had a change of heart and didn't give her the love potion, so even if Charming kissed Fiona during the royal ball, nothing would've happenedI Need a Hero scene is a lot of fun, but it doesn't have any real tension. Fiona wasn't in danger like Shrek thought
>>220707753>>220709281Why did they choose this 7 feet tall monster to play a short guy? Was that a joke?
>>220710802Probably yes
>>220710802John Lithgow has a very distinctive voice.

>>220711476In what universe?
>>220708108I thought it was really cool, I saw it after Shrek 2 though
>>220707753Lord Farquaad did a lot wrong in Shrek — he’s basically written as a fairy-tale dictator and the movie’s main villain.Some of the biggest things he did:He forcibly exiled fairy-tale creatures from Duloc because they didn’t fit his idea of a “perfect kingdom.” Characters like the Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, and Donkey were rounded up and dumped into Shrek’s swamp.He tortured the Gingerbread Man (“Gingy”) for information, including ripping off his legs and threatening him.He treated people as disposable. Instead of rescuing Princess Fiona himself, he made knights compete in a deadly tournament so someone else could risk their life fighting the dragon.He wanted to marry Princess Fiona mainly to become king, not because he loved her.After Fiona’s curse was revealed, he planned to imprison her forever because he found her ogre form unacceptable.More generally, he ruled Duloc as an authoritarian obsessed with control, perfection, and appearances.Part of the joke in Shrek is that Farquaad acts like the “civilized” ruler, but he’s actually more cruel and shallow than the ogre everyone fears.
>>220711451There were obviously some cancelled movie projects in those early years. One of them was Tusker, which was gonna be about elephants in southest Asia. It was in pre-production for a while, but in the end Katzenberg chose to pull the plug
>>220711784
>>220708487>>220710436Just goes to show if you make your climax cool enough it doesn't have to make sense
>>220708653incredibles is stylish as fuck
>>220711451oct 3 2004 was the last time my stepdad came to a movie with us kids and my mom.he did not enjoy it in the slightest
>>220711428I just looked this dude up and he's 80 but they're making him Dumbledore in the new Harry potter thing, didn't they already have to replace a dead Dumbledore once before
>>220711784>hard 'r'yeah it was doomed from the start
>>220711897nick frost is going to say something off color and hagrid will end up recast.snape's actor will get arrested.half the kids will say "fuck this" like the guy who played reggie in riverdale season 1
>>220708653fun fact: Shrek 1 was such a phenomenon within Hollywood as the first film to successfully parody Disney animation, that there was a real fear among the Academy that it would win best picture. So they created the best animated feature category to prevent that, and refused to nominate Shrek for best picture because it was an animated film, even though beauty and the beast had been nominated for best picture a decade earlier.
>>220707994His head being disproportionately large like he's playing Goldeneye with DK mode or some shit didn't help
>>220711984sometimes when i close my eyes i see multicolor paintball splats and big headed people
They shouldn't have changed the name
>>220707753He was too prideful to beg for his life properly. Had he offered to suck Donkey’s dick or eaten Shrek’s shit there’s a very strong chance he’d still be alive.

Anyone who says this has better writing than the first one is a tasteless idiot
Bump
If you're wondering if DreamWorks ever did something else with Antz after finishing it, they actually did. Very obscure shorthttps://youtu.be/likCRz4BEjw?si=wVftL08OjFL9dwuv
>>220712512https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANmNtzyVyaY<3
>>220713136Funny how the movie is at its best when it barely has any dialogue
>>220713203https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni_tlxJuSis<3
>>220713136Too bad the rest of the movie isn't like thathttps://youtu.be/7RU9zpAM4l4?feature=shared
>>220713239https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDzMRApSlzA<3
>>220713237Sorry, but I didn't care about the peacock or Po's random and generic tragic backstory at all
>>220713270You know, it's easy to think it's a good movie by choosing some random scenes. But if you sit down and watch it from start to finish without any interruptions, it becomes obvious that the whole thing doesn't work as it should. It isn't written very competently.

>>220713341cool
>>220713351You won't change my mind. Don't even bother sending me clips, because I have the whole film memorized in my head. It's a 2011 movie. I've seen it many times since it came out. I don't like it at all.
>>220713544have you tried valium?
Am I supposed to be impressed by this villain backstory?https://youtu.be/A8wiNv6laU8?si=lkZEa5Yx3YuQwyYs
Madagascar is a cinematic masterpiecehttps://youtu.be/DItFVpfICGg?si=FsnPTwYxqjIACSbK
Shark Tale was two years old when this episode aired (Season 18)

>>220707753He was short, white and racistLike all the chuds
Shrek and Ice Age franchises became punchlines over the yearshttps://youtu.be/bbTxRri4X34?si=Uu_3rXsx0eqTFUfW
>>220707753He didn’t do endo fulltour, which breaks my Vore prefs so I don’t like him.
