There's a reason 1 is more visually appealing than the sequels. Not the same tech

Antz and Shrek 1 are fantastic. They were on a roll in those early days.... and then Shrek 2 happened. No turning back from that trainwreck. The damage was done

Nevermind that Shrek 2 made more cash than Antz and Shrek combined. Dreamworks' reputation died in May 2004. They became known as the Happy Madison of animation after the whole world saw Shrek 2

Shrek 2 was their best movie.
It could be said it is the best animated flick of all time.

Why is Farquaad never mentioned or referenced in the second movie? Duloc is never mentioned either. No explanation of what happened to it after Farquaad got killed. Those expelled fairytale creatures from 1, like the bear family, are also absent in 2. Where did they even go after the marriage at the swamp ended?

Antz and Shrek 1 are better. Those mid to late 90s / 2000 Sillicon Graphics visuals and those witty scripts are a delight

From the blog

>Alucard has shown the ability to go intangible before, but only exactly once, and not in combat. As mentioned above, Alucard also regularly lets himself get hit by attacks, so him trying to use his intangibility to evade attacks is not exactly a strategy he would realistically employ. Even if he does, however, DIO could use his eye contact-based hypnosis and simply compel him to become tangible again. Hypnosis is unlikely for DIO to use in combat, but so is Alucard going intangible for extended periods of time.

Antz and Shrek 1 were made using Sillicon Graphics tech. In early 2002, Dreamworks began a partnership with Hewlett Packard, who provided their tech and work stations to DW, allowing for faster production

Shrek 1 looks more visually appealing than 2. Perhaps the technology improved in 2, but the art direction and overall aesthetic is worse. Compare the swamp scenes in 1 and 2. The visual downgrade is noticeable

Why are Jojofags so stupid to think hypnotism will work on the guy who wrote the book on it and was able to will himself back from becoming imaginary numbers.

Shrek is an asshole in 2. He arrives from a long honeymoon of pure kissing and fucking with Fiona, finds Donkey taking care of his house in his absense, doesn't greet him or thanks him, and inmediately tries to kick him out of the house 30 seconds after entering because he wants to carry on with the kissing and fucking. He also shows zero empathy when Donkey mentions leaving the dragon because she's moody. Not a good first impression

The problem with Shrek in 2 is that he's boring. Too mopey and cranky, bordering on toxic sometimes. He lost that endearing sense of humor he had in 1. Became too much of a straight man

Shrek had a funny sense of humor in 1 to balance out his crankiness. They forgot about this in 2

I love how Shrek is one of the last films released in a pre 9/11 world. You can imagine how well it sold when it got released on home video on November 2th. People really needed a bit of Shrek in those tense days. It became the best selling DVD ever for a while

There's a reason Puss is considered the best thing about Shrek 2 : he's the only sympathetic character. In fact, before he appears at the 34 mins mark, the movie is insufferable (especially on rewatches)

boring how?
>Donkey is annoying
He's suppose to be annoying to Shrek
>Fairy Godmother is a hateful bitch
Isn't that literally the point? She's the antagonist
>King is unlikeable, weak and bigoted until the final mins
Thats the point, also what you call there at the end is called a character arc
>Charming is a worthless and vain peacock
Once again isn't that literally the point? He's the secondary antagonist
>Fiona's mother has no role or personality
she nags at her husband to stop being a bitch

Shrek didn't need any sequels. It works perfectly as a self contained story

The execution is wrong due to poor writing. None of those characters succeed at awaking sympathy from the audience, with the one and only exception of Puss

Shrek 1 has quite a lot of setting variety. Impressive for an early CG film

Like, if we compare the setting variety and world size of Toy Story 1 and Shrek 1, latter easily wins

Madagascar 1 is sorta underrated. Not a great story and some jokes fall flat, but it's still entertaining as a whole. It works better if you see it as a dark comedy, which it kinda is

You know something that annoys me about Shrek 2' swamp scene at the start? The outhouse from the original is nowhere to be seen. That outhouse was an iconic staple from 1, yet they forgot to bring it back in 2.

Shrek was a movie that truly lived to the hype. Audiences liked Antz in 1998 due to its adult humor, sophisticated themes, fantastic voice acting / soundtrack, and quirky charm. PDI made a great film debut with Antz, and audiences were curious and excited for what their next film was going to be like. It took 2 years and a half to arrive, but the wait was worth it.

I believe the only time Dreamworks was able to recapture the quality of Antz and Shrek 1 was HTTYD1, and that was only because it had the Lilo & Stitch duo behind it. Some people will say Panda 1 is on par with them too, but i disagree. It's not quite there
