It ain't easy bein' green -- especially if you're a likable (albeit smelly) ogre named Shrek. On a mission to retrieve a gorgeous princess from the clutches of a fire-breathing dragon, Shrek teams up with an unlikely compatriot -- a wisecracking donkey. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →Before cinema gave us "Sexy Shrek" costumes Halloween was actually unsettling. About 20 years ago I was given the book Haunted Air by Ossian Brown which is a collection of pre 1960s halloween photos from rural America. Then there's "real" Wicker Man coded photos from 1920s South Uist.

neutral · AI labelView post →Good lord, do I miss this DreamWorks Animation. They really had a great thing going for a while & created magic. Then Shrek, a movie made purely for spite, won a ton of awards including the 1st Best Animated Picture Oscar, and they never looked back. Or won another Oscar for their animated work.

positive · AI labelView post →Me, so exasperated that I've gone red in the face: "How can you not know Smashmouth's All Star? It featured prominently in classic animated film Shrek as well as the less successful film Mystery Men! It's on Music from the Motion Picture Digimon: The Movie! Do you live in a bubble?!"

positive · AI labelView post →I think in another timeline i COULD have become a square enix andy or a metal gear fan or whatever really early on, but nobody in my house knew what a video game was so all the ps2 games we got were shit like Finding Nemo and The Bee Movie Game and Shrek the Third
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm confused what Disney is doing. I even pondered recently whether this is a signal the movie might be delayed. But there's no possible place for Hexed to move to, what with Disney's animation schedule being packed in 2027 and Spider-Verse, Shrek and live-action How to Train Your Dragon 2 in June.
neutral · AI labelView post →I worked in a video store and they put on Shrek constantly and I feel among a small group around my age that actually can't stand that movie now bsky.app/profile/aysh...
negative · AI labelView post →In my opinion this movie should be regarded as a cultural touchstone of the early 2000s next to Shrek.
neutral · AI labelView post →Additionally, "Dracula had no servants" lead to the only truly good scene in Shadow of the Vampire, where Max "the shoot vampire playing Count Orlok" Shrek muses on how sad the novel Dracula made him youtu.be/YgqgSaDCgC4
