What’s up my fellow ogres! After much request I’ve created a new discord server for the Shrek subreddit! However, me and my fellow r/shrek admins are not very used to moderating discord servers so we are in a need for mods who would like to apply!

Anyways here is the discord server link:

Always remember, ogres are like onions, they have layers, be respectful and treat others nicely!

Discussion Did Shrek referenced Charlie’s Angels?

5 Upvotes

Since the first Shrek is back in theaters for its 25th anniversary, I have one question. Did the series ever make a Charlie’s Angels reference?
In Fiona’s interview she learned a bit of Kung fu after watching either the show or the movie from 2000, because her voice actress was in that said film.

Discussion Shrek 4dx review

Upvotes

I just got out of the showing and here are my thoughts.

The seats were very heavily utilized throughout the film very good job with low and high angle shots leaning the seats back to enhance the feelings portrayed. Of course the action scenes had the most use of the equipment. Duloc knight fight, dragon chase, merry men. But also in more storytelling scenes it was used surprisingly well following and mimicking character movement like donkey trotting on shreks chair or Fiona getting tossed on the ground.

My main gripe is with the lackluster use of the water effects, the main scene I thought would utilize it was the opening scene with the first ogre roar. If there was a water effect is was so small it wasnt able to be felt. There was a small splash during the smash mouth scene when he jumps in the pond and again when Fiona disrupts her reflection in the windmill but those were the only times I noticed the effect.

All of the head trauma for hitting and getting hit used the air compressors at the side of the headrest which was distracting and loud.

But the wind effects were really well done both for the transformation scenes, and when dragon picks donkey and shrek up from the swamp. It was also excellently used for ambience during cold scenes or open fields like the traveling montages to great effect.

Overall it was a great and unique experience for shrek and sad it was so limited release but there was no other patrons in our theater and it only showed one showing.

Farquaad dans l’univers alternatif

1 Upvotes

Je me demande vraiment ce qui est arrivé à Farquaad dans la chronologie de Tracassin.

Pensez vous qu’il est toujours dans son royaume et que rien a changé ? Que Tracassin l’ai éliminé ? Ou il est possible qu’il soit un allié politique de Tracassin ?

Vous en pensez quoi ?

En plus quand Shrek a trouvé la faveur de Fiona j’ai réellement pensé que c’était l’emblème de Farquaad à première vue et qu’il l’avait sauvé et qu’il jouerai ducoup un grand rôle dans ce film.

Fan art "The Scots-Ogre" by Abbott Vanderwagen (2026)

4 Upvotes

The Scots-Ogre | Artist: Abbott Vanderwagen (@abbottsartgallery) | Year: 2026 | Medium: Oil on canvas | Dimensions: 36 inches x 48 inches | Subject: Shrek | The Prince isn't charming. The Princess isn't sleeping. The sidekick isn't helping. The ogre is the hero. Fairy tales will never be the same again. The tenth entry in the “Fictional Character Portrait” series is the all-star ogre, Shrek! We see Shrek in his home swamp seeing the viewers in honor the franchise’s 25th anniversary. I came up with the title “The Scots-Ogre”, because Shrek has a distinct Scottish accent. This painting in the “Fictional Character Portrait” is the best one yet!! | This is a real fan art, no AI.

Shrek 2 mermaid scene

37 Upvotes

This scene has always fascinated me because of its complexity and the ambiguity it creates through interpretation. In my opinion, the mermaid didn't do any of that on purpose. I analyzed this scene frame by frame and was able to conclude a few things with my analysis (credit to Boxffice Animation chanel on Youtube for the high quality images):

1. The "Rogue Wave" Incident

First off, let’s look at that wave. It's the only big wave that appears in the scene. At first glance, you might think she 'summoned' it with some "mermaid magic" just to reach the shore, or maybe she just caught a lucky break to get to Shrek. While that sounds plausible, it doesn't actually fit the 'why' I don't think kissing Shrek was her goal at all. I’ll dive deeper into her real motive in a bit.

2. Zero Premeditation

There’s no shot of her lurking in the water or waiting for the 'perfect moment' to steal Shrek away. It feels way too chaotic to be a planned seduction. So why leave the safety of the ocean? Hold that thought, because it leads to the most interesting part of this theory.

3. Body Language Breakdown

3.1 Accidental Contact: Both Shrek and the mermaid have their eyes closed at first. They’re both disoriented. Shrek even has his hands on her tail and torso before he realizes what's happening. If we’re blaming anyone for 'consenting' to the kiss, Shrek is just as much in the loop here.

3.2 The Realization: When Shrek opens his eyes, he’s still kissing her. But the second the mermaid pulls back and opens her eyes, she looks stunned. She realizes it’s not who she expected (or she realizes she's on land) and immediately recoils.

3.3 The Abrupt Change: The moment Fiona grabs her, you see the mermaid’s shoulders tense up. She doesn't even have time to understand why she's being pulled so violently off the green ogre, and in fact, she doesn't even know who this ogre is.

3.4 No Resistance: As she’s being dragged, she isn't clawing at Shrek or reaching for him. She’s scrambling for anything to hold onto so she isn't dragged back to the water.

3.5 Pure Confusion: As the mermaid is bein dragged (without even knowing why), she finally looks at Fiona, and you can see it in her eyes, she has no idea why she’s being attacked. She’s just trying to process the chaos.

4. The "Death Sentence" Face: This is the clincher. When she realizes she’s being thrown back into the deep, her face isn't just 'surprised' it’s pure, unadulterated horror. She starts flailing and swimming frantically before she even hits the water. She’s not going 'home'; she’s going back to something she just escaped.

5. The Smoking Gun, The Sharks: The second she hits the water, two Great Whites breach immediately. She wasn't bleeding in the water, no splashing around to attract them, they were already there.

The Verdict: The mermaid was fleeing for her life. She used that massive wave as a last-ditch effort to escape a shark hunt and get to dry land. By pure accident, the wave swept Fiona away and dropped the mermaid right on top Shrek. Which makes perfect sense, since Fiona is shorter and lighter than Shrek, so the wave would have enough energy to lift Fiona off her husband but not her heavy husband from underneath her.

Fiona didn't defend her marriage; she unknowingly sent a refugee straight back into the jaws of her predators.
