I think I like them about the same, maybe the first one a little more, but they're both really funny and have a lot of heart. I didn't care for ALL the jokes, (particularly the scatological stuff, which always turns me off no matter what the film) but it always registers with me.

I think the first one will always be my fave however. :wink: It pretty much marks my the start of my devotion to all things DreamWorks. :) "Men of Faarquad's stature are in SHORT supply.... There are those who think LITTLE of him!" Awesome line! :)

And I loved Puss in Boots! <3 Wink
Yeah, he was the BOMB! :P



BTW love your new sig Dan! :D That's the cutest thing ever! :wink: 8)

It's really funny, when I was in Ithaca someone actually dared to ask JK: "Is Shrek a satire of Disney?" Then there was this pause, and K just smiled and said: "It's a satire." Everyone broke up then. :) :P
I see. So that's how it started? Laughing
Yeah pretty much. I saw the film in theaters, was entertained by it if a little shocked (I couldn't believe the stuff they put in there!) Then I started hearing about all this DreamWorks vs. Disney stuff and the whole Duloc/Faarquad connection, and I was like: "You. have. Got. To be kidding me." I knew about the whole Katzenberg/Eisner thing of course, (it seemed to me like it had been going on for years and years... 'cause basically it was.) but never thought it would actually filter down to an animated film! :wink:

That fascinated me, and it pretty much went on from there. :wink:

Honestly, I didn't think a whole lot about DreamWorks before that, mostly thought of it as "The Spielberg company." :roll:

Did anyone here watch the new trailer? (It took me a while to get it dowloaded--it's quicktime though.)

I have! It was waaaay better than the teaser, though I'm still skeptical this will be as good as the first two films.

I have the bad impression to always see the same background ( forest, greeny thingy, blue skyish tones...) from film to film. Too classical! And the animation doesn't look amazing compared to the previous one. As for the story, I don't care about Artie, not appealing at all, and the princess girls band is ridiculous. Hope to be surprised anyway.

Maybe that's because of all the pretty CG we've seen since the last one came out... :wink: :P

Well, the animation in the Ratatouille and Surf's Up trailers DID impress me so...

Glad you guys (mostly :P) liked it! :) :wink:

I had a feeling it would be much better than the first teaser, based on what I saw at the preview. The first teaser just made it look like a "typical Shrek film" maybe so people don't get alienated or something.

But the trailer--lots of new stuff. :D

It seems to have been taken down from the Empire site I tried to look at it on.

It's going to debut on TV I think, and then come back online, unless anyone has another link?

Sorry Ben, I looked on Yahoo! Movies, YouTube, Quicktime and the official site and none of them have it yet. :(

I'm sure they will soon.

Also, here's an interesting JHM article on DW, although it pretty much doesn't say anything we don't already know...why isn't Jim discussing what's going on at Mickey's Lamp? I"d think that's more important right now...:?



(and I'm sure there have GOT to be more interesting Disney in-jokes in Shrek the Third than a butch Snow White's tattoo that reads "Dopey" ....:roll:)
