They wanted what they were owed. Simple as that.
That deal thing with Harold wasn't explained properly
What are you talking about? They explain it as a mutually beneficial partnership where the Fairy Godmother cures Fiona's curse while setting her son up with her. Fairy godmother gains power through Harold's kingdom and Harold's daughter is free of a curse. It's very straightforward.
>too autistic to get a simple joke
Anon shut the frick up
do you think the witch fiona claims gave her the ogre curse was actually fairy godmother in disguise?
I mean there's a chance she doesn't even know that much, I always assumed she was cursed from Birth and it was all a lie that her parents fed her to keep up the charade.
More likely she was cursed by Birth given Harold was also cursed. The Witch story was probably just something her parents told her.
It's pretty obvious that she's the one who made him human to begin with so as part of the deal he promised he'd give her son his daughter's hand in marriage.
fpbp
Mommie arranged for princie to have that princess and mommie will take what she is owed.
How wasn't it explained? Harold used a service by fairy godmother and then didn't pay her price for it.
Not him:
Fionna's and Charming role in the story is straightfoward and I don't get what the other anon doesn't get.
That said the one part I'm still not sure about is did the Fairy Grandmother also help Harold find the princess that would end up being his fututre wife and make him King?
Was the whole situation a mob boss scenerio of "I'll help you but someday I'll comeback and ask a favor in return"?
Pretty much. She threatens to take back his own "Happily Ever After" if he doesn't make sure Fiona marries Charming, so clearly they've had their own dealings in the past from back when he was just another frog in the swamp.
Okay, that makes the "get what's owed" line more powerful.
It could've just meant "I'm the best, I deserve this" but now it has an actual double meaning of "Hey fricko, it's time to pay back your dues".
They wanted political power in the kingdom and expected to gain it in exchange for what they had given the king years ago.
they were sexually repressed
What did she mean by this?
What did pixar mean by this?
Toy Story 1 (nevermind 2) legit have more soulful/passionate CGI than Shrek 2 despite being made years before.
I'm LITERALLY about to break down crying...
It felt like she could do more than she did. Like mind control or something magical.
No joke. First film looks nicer. I think even Antz looks nicer.
Anon are you high? The visual fidelity gap between shrek and shrek 2 is huge. The humans in the original shrek really look uncanny in comparison to shrek 2's.
>the humans in the original shrek really look uncanny in comparison to shrek 2's
I completely disagree. It's the opposite case for me.
These background characters don't look uncanny to you? Their plastic skin shaders make them look more like mannequins than people and because they lack the exaggerated features Farquod and Fiona have they end up looking way less appealing.
Lacks the visual appeal from PDI's previous most notable works.
and also from their next most notable work.
fairy godmother has sun spots on her chest like old women do. it’s a small detail and makes her that much hotter
I think they bit off more than they could chew with the CG in Shrek 2. There's a reason why The Incredibles, made at the same time, went for a more simple approach.
All the children that appear in Shrek 2. Every single other character is an adult.
Huh
They just needed to kiss and get it over with
>Well, let’s not just sit here with our tummies rumbling. Everybody dig in
>Don’t mind if I do, Lillian
The way they reveal the queen's name is very clumsy.
So are they like the mafia?
I think she's more of a Fixer type, with a legitimate business front.
yep, successful enough that she could make her family climb the ladder into royalty. if fiona wasn't an ogrefricking hippie, that is
She had over 20 years to get Prince Charming to the rescue, seriously what was she waiting for? Was it just for him to be ready to settle down? Because honestly that's on him if it's the case.
Yeah the blame is on him, but think about it from Charming's POV. Why rush to something he thought was guaranteed when he can enjoy himself with other adventures and other girls at his leisure?
She had those silent enforcers
Why the frick weren't they ever shown again?
They reappear very briefly in this scene only
Mafia with some medieval era political marriage so the Godmother get's more power, the Kingdom has a magical edge (I suppose), and Charming get's pussy to slay.
If I'd been under her dress, munching her box she would have chilled out
>"When I was a little girl, a witch cast a spell on me. Every night I become this. This horrible, ugly beast! I was placed in a tower to await the day my true love would rescue me"
That witch is not mentioned again after the first film. Also, notice how Fiona doesn't say that it was her parents who locked her in the tower or that she was waiting specifically for Charming to rescue her. They improvised the plot of the sequel.
god damn i’ve always wanted to eat at Friar’s Fat Boy
>it's fresh exciting
>the fattest boy in all the land
>the food is tasty at friar tuck's fatboy
>at friar tuck's fatboy, we can serve anything that you want
>at friar tuck's fatboy you can have a really great time
>come in relax and see what tuck can cook for you
>dig in you'll love it at friar tuck's fatboy!
One of the very few flaws Shrek 1 has is that the princess from the opening book doesn't resemble Fiona. Would've been better if she did.
We are shown what she looks like before the tower rescue scene, so there's no reason to have a different design for the opening book.
Medieval manuscripts were never famous for accurate depictions of anything ever.
>screen freezes and show logo appears while the handcuffed prisoner is getting metaphorically maced inside the police car
No other Dreamworks film has this particular sense of humor. They never used it again.
They literally parody the OJ Simpson chase with Donkey as the "white bronco".
I wonder what they used to record this and how popular it is, cant imagine too many people owning a magic mirror or an equivilant.
Why not?
>There's a clan of wizards that are basically cable guys who enchant your mirrors for a predetermined package of visions, depending on how much you pay. Though occasionally you can spot a warlock in the guild who'll let you expand your package for paying him under the table
you know even IRL to gain nobility titles people had to murder tons of people that's why most are literal psychos
I still like the headcanon that they're not actually blood related and that Charming was merely a prize/reward Godmother got when he was an infant
does charming even have magic powers? he might actually be adopted if he doesn't
>does charming even have magic powers?
He's never displayed them
Fairy Godmother also technically doesn't have powers aside from her wings
She's nothing without her wand
Bit of an undercooked script in the storyline/lore expansion department. That's what happens when you focus too much on gags and references despite the film' short length.
?t=56
I don't get it, if you rewatch the scenes he's never actually there. Where did he come from?
>may 2001 : Shrek
>2003 : Shrek 4-D
>may 2004 : Shrek 2
That short released between 1 and 2 is awful. Every joke in those 15 minutes falls flat, including the ones they recycled from the first film (but with worse execution)
It's a short film intended for a 4d theater, the quality isn't going to be that spectacularly when it's meant to be a short interactive experience that has to placate to in theater effects.
Doesn't mean it had to suck. It's a 15 minutes cringefest.
>donkey: wow this 3d is pretty cool
worst bit in the short for me
It's weird how Dreamworks didn't have a woman be one of the directors on this sequels, given one of their most notable traits is that they had woman directors, unlike Disney and Pixar (The Prince of Egypt, Shrek 1, Spirit and Shark Tale all had a woman among the directors). That would've given a more positive public image to a sequel which wasn't really needed.
>Kelly Asbury
I remember watching the Shrek 2 credits as a kid and thinking Kelly was a woman. Big mistake. He was a guy (died in 2020)
How to Train Your Dragon also had a woman co director when it started development in 2005. Specifically, it had the one from Spirit (Lorna Cook)
