It is Finally Here: Shrek Retold
 

someBODY

this is amazing

These collab things are always fun to watch but I really do not get why adults still fizz on this movie fifteen years later

I found this to be fucking hilarious and plan to finish watching it tonight

I think that's the joke. Nobody actually thinks it's an amazing movie. It's just funny to give so much attention to an arbitrary 2000s juvenile comedy film as if it's a cinematic milestone.

It's related to the "All Star" meme.

woah woah, easy there. I'm not saying it's high art, but people do really like Shrek. It's an extremely witty, multidimensional kids movie with beautiful animation that also manages to be poignant and sincere.

the sequels are all awful contrived cash-grabs tho

i liked the first shrek

but that was a long, long time ago

Fiona is pretty hot

in which form? i only remember her ogressness.

oh damn yeah red hair pale skin green dress


GODDAMN

I do not endorse the content in this video

I don't know about all this

In fact

I politely disagree

really?

That image does nothing for me and I would not call it beautiful. We have different taste here and that's ok. I may also be biased

I have feelings about cartoons ok

Am I being a dick by saying I don't like it? Or is this discourse? Should I just be quiet?

no, you are fine we are allowed to disagree. I checked it with the kindness regime

I am curious why you don't like it though

sry breeg but compare that to this:

completely different though

heh i was just looking for an excuse to post that

This is a question that I could spend a lot of time answering. But I think it's mainly that the art feels joyless and artificial to me. I think you lose a lot of the fun of animation by trying to make things look "realistic". Like I said I'm probably biased and I guess I get why people like movies like this but part of the joy of cartoons for me is that they are fun to look at. And really good ones are fun to look at like every frame of. I just looked at a bunch of Shrek stills and they did not feel fun to me at all

But that's just like, my opinion

I always thought pixar and dreamworks easily had the best computer animation in their films. If you watch some of the non-Pixar Disney digitally animated movies, they are clearly not done as well IMO. or like the fucking ice age franchise or whatever.

Yeah I like Pixar best I guess but I don't watch a lot of computer animation because what I really like best is grandpas cartoons and that is why my opinion is maybe irrelevant

I wouldn't even consider digital animation to be cartoons.

What appeals to me about the Shrek style is that it's deep, lush, vibrant, and really detailed. The textures are really varied and "tangible," and the color and contrast are striking. Before Shrek, there had been I am pretty sure less than ten fully computer animated films ever. I think the scenery is fairly immersive and impressive compared to Bugs Life and Toy Story, and this was the first movie I can remember where animated human faces were convincing (sorry Syd from Toy Story)
