Sorry I said basically twice. I have a habit of repeating certain words.

Well basically if you ever seen the holiday classic It’s A Wonderful Life, basically Shrek is going through this mid life crisis one year after the events of the previous movie. And his journey is kind of like George Baily discovering what the most wonderful people in his life would be like if he never existed. What I mean by darker and edgier is the story is more emotional

I actually stopped after watching the third Shrek. Is the fourth film worth a watch? Darker and edgier seems like an odd choice.

Does it seem like a coincidence that the Garfield movie came out during that same summer of 04?

You should definitely re-watch it! I did before I wrote this article. For as many pop culture references as the film has, it really holds up after all these years.

Love that quote! There are so many great references to other films and characters in Shrek and Shrek 2. It’s one of the things I love about the movies!

Yes but those three in particular I mentioned. I remember being excited for Julie Andrews the most because who doesn’t love Mary Poppins. But I didn’t see the Sound of Music in its entirety until I was 13.

Well Shrek 3 and 4 were on par with the original to me. But 4 lacked the original’s satiric nature, went darker and edgier and did an unncessary change in Rumpelstilskin.

Thanks! ? I don’t care much for most of the films in the franchise after Shrek 2 either. I’m glad they were able to keep the spirit and humor of the original movie in the sequel.

Yes! They did a great job with the new additions to the voice cast in this one ??
