>> Crazy Nate: Your request for this one has been lingering in the swamp for
a long time now, so we’re finally going to be putting Shrek into the spotlight.
Here’s Everything You Missed in one of Dreamwork's most iconic movies, Shrek.
(Intro music plays)
>> Shrek: hi everyone. Having a good time are you?
>> Crazy Nate: Now some of the easter eggs might seem obvious to you,
while some of these secrets are going to be a bit of a surprise.
The movie starts out with Shrek in the outhouse, and if you look at the door,
it’s the logo of a moon, and originally they were going to have the Dreamworks company logo a moon,
dissolve into this moon on the outhouse, but the people at the company though that
we might be connecting Dreamworks with an outhouse that's full of... poop. (fart noise)
Turns out if you watched all the Shrek films you might actually make that connection.
Oh no did I just I insult Dreamworks little feelings?
But hey, they had no problem taking stabs at Disney multiple times in this film so lets go.
Shrek is a fairy tale movie, so naturally there are going to be references to a lot
of fairy tales. Like Goldilocks and the three bears right over there.
but watch this, we have daddy bear, mommy bear, and baby bear.
And in case you never heard of their story, it goes like this.
this little girl over here does a home invasion of an innocent family and steals all their food,
then breaks their furniture, then occupies their beds.
Talk about a peaceful protest. (laughs into craziness)
But here’s something you probably missed. When we
see them in the beginning of the movie, we see all three of them.
>> Count the Count: Three! Wonderful yes haha!
>> Crazy Nate: But later on we only see papa bear and baby bear, they're sitting
over here in Shrek's swamp, and daddy bear is comforting baby bear, who looks very sad.
>> Shrek: WHAT?!
>> Crazy Nate: That’s because we're missing somebody here.
Where's mamma bear? Mamma bear got killed by Lord Farquaad, and he turned her into a throw rug.
(audience laughs)
Kind of stole the idea from Disney.
>> Mufasa: What am I going to do with him?
>> Zazu: He'd make a very handsome throw rug.
>> Mufasa: Zazu?!
>> Hercules: This stuff doesn't seem to be getting me anywhere.
>> Phil: You can't give up now. I'm counting on you.
>> Crazy Nate: YES! Now make sure you subscribe or the cookie gets it!
Shrek was voiced by Mike Myers, and he's famous in a lot of movies.
Probably most known for his characters he played in the Austin Powers movies.
And in the Austin Powers films he was
several characters at once. He also says I’m not going to eat you.
>> Shrek: Look I'm not going to eat you.
>> Crazy Nate: But a few years earlier in Austin Powers, he says I’m going to eat you.
>> Fat Bastard: Come here, I'm gonna eat you.
>> Crazy Nate: Another Austin powers moment is when he references to a smack down.
>> Shrek: Alright you're going the right way for a smack bottom.
>> Austin Powers: Oh, you're going the right way for a smack bottom and I don't care who knows it.
>> Crazy Nate: Even in the bonus music video Beautiful Stranger that
Mike Myers made with Madonna he references the smack down.
>> Austin Powers: you're going the right way for a smack bottom.
>> Madonna: I hope so.
>> Austin Powers: oh, yes! It's good to be me.
>> Crazy Nate: In the movie Shrek, Mikey Myers voiced Shrek,
but he also voiced one of the three blind mice.
Chris Farley was originally going to be the voice for Shrek, unfortunately he died before
the film could be finished so they had to re-voice with Mike Myers as Shrek
and air quotes was one of the things that he was commonly known for.
>> Barnett Brauer: I don't understand what's going on in the news.
>> Crazy Nate: So to pay tribute to Chris Farley, they had a moment where Shrek did the air quotes.
>> Shrek: But I'll let you do the measuring when you see him tomorrow.
>> Crazy Nate: This scene is a reference to a ground breaking movie called the
Matrix. Which also has lots of easter eggs in it.
(Trinity kicks bad guy in slow motion)
But back to Shrek, A lot of the movie was poking fun at Disney, of course they say
people punch up not punch down, that’s why we're get away with it Dreamworks. I mean Shrek is a
great movie and all, but have you seen the follow up Shreks? They just get dumber and dumber.
Now you little cookie! Tell me another easter egg or your legs get it!
>> Ginger Bread Man: OK, I'll tell you! Do you know the muffin man?
>> Crazy Nate: The muffin man?
>> Ginger Bread Man: The Muffin Man!
>> Crazy Nate: What about the Muffin Man?!
>> Ginger Bread Man: He hit the like button.
>> Crazy Nate: He hit the like button?
>> Ginger Bread Man: He hit the like button!
>> Crazy Nate: If you're thinking is mentally stable? No, I'm probably not.
Here we have a reference to the Small world ride at Disneyland.
>> Willy Wonka: Wasn't that just magnificent? I
was worried it was getting a little dodgy in the middle part then that finale! WOW!
>> Crazy Nate: And even the entire city is a play on Disney land.
If you look the way the city is laid out, and even the castle location, it's DisneyLand.
>> Lord Farquadd: Mirror mirror on the wall, is this not the most perfect kingdom of them all?
>> Crazy Nate: Another stab at Disney was the Magic Mirror,
a parody of the character in Snow White.
>> Queen: Who is the fairest one of all?
>> Crazy Nate: The voice behind Magic mirror in Shrek was also the voice behind Geppetto,
and that voice is one of the story artist Chris Miller. And we also
have the three fairies from sleeping beauty.
But what was that the mirror said about Princess Fiona?
>>Mirror: She's a loaded pistol that likes Pina colatas and getting caught in the rain.
>> Crazy Nate: This is an easter egg. If you aren’t sure why here you go. Princess Fiona
was voiced by the amazing Cameron Diaz. And a year later she had a movie called The Sweetest Thing,
they were working on both movies at the same time.
and in that bad acting raunchy comedy she had a
scene where she and her friend sang with the radio, song Escape, by Rupert Holmes.
>> Christina and Courtney: If you like Pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.
>> Mirror: that likes Pina coladas and getting caught in the rain.
>> Crazy Nate: And if you haven’t seen the movie yet. Let me recommend you don’t waste your time,
because that's an hour and thirty minutes of your life that you will never get back.
Here we have Donkey complimenting a boulder.
>> Donkey: I like that boulder, that's a nice boulder.
>> Crazy Nate: Well, there’s a classic story about Sylvester and the Magic Pebble,
and if you never read the story growing up or you simply forgot because it was a billion years ago,
it’s about a DONKEY that finds a magic red pebble and wished that he was a rock.
And here's another secret about Donkey. Donkey was voiced by the legendary Eddie Murphy, and I
remember him mostly probably from Beverly Hills Cop, but he was also famous for his character
Sherman Klump in the Nutty Professor. And also the Nutty Professor is available on Disney Plus
if you haven't seen it yet. And in the Nutty Professor when he looses all of his excess
weight that he had, one of the first things he does is celebrate that he can now run up stairs.
>> Julius F. Kelp: I can do stairs, I can do stairs,
I am the stair master!
>> Donkey: Don't mess with me, I am the stair master, I've mastered the stairs,
I wish I had a step right here, right here and now I'd step all over it?
>> Crazy Nate: Also when Eddie was looking for the voice for Donkey he
was thinking he should probably sound like a... like a jack...
you know, you know what it is, a donkey, a synonym for donkey. Ha!
A lot of the stories though were referenced to Disney. So let’s play out all the Disney
references. We have Cinderella, and Pinocchio, and Snow White, and of course the seven dwarfs,
Peter Pan and Tinkerbell, making Donkey fly.
>> Donkey: but I bet you've never seen a donkey fly. haha!
KIDS: Just think happy thoughts!
>> Tinkerbell:
All you need is one happy thought Peter! Just one happy thought and it'll make you fly.
>> Crazy Nate: Tinker bell is also wanted. But a lot of Disney’s stories weren't actually original
stories from Disney, simply Disney telling of stories that existed before Disney did.
So clearly this is one of those Fair Use moments, Dreamworks!
>> King Iso: I just be a hypocrite!
>> Crazy Nate: Then if you are a big fan of Disney, you know love him or hate him that
Michael Eisner was a huge part in Disney being the Disney we know today for better or worse.
>> Dad: What the hell is even that?
>> Crazy Nate: But he had some beef with Jeffrey Katzenberg,
>> Interviewer: You had a lawsuit with Jeffrey Katzenberg?
>> Michael Eisner: Who?
>> Interviewer: Jeffrey Katzenberg?
>> Michael Eisner: Who?
>> Interviewer: That's what I thought. Thank you.
>> Crazy Nate: But the rumor is that Lord Farquadd was modeled after Michael
Eisner to show Jeffrey’s distaste for the man that he used to work with.
If this is true, this is once again Dreamworks punching up.
In case you don’t know Jeffery, he’s the producer of Shrek, and one of the founders of Dreamworks,
because Disney killed his dream so he made a new company to try to make his own Dreams Work .
But if you're thinking it, they didn't steal Farquaads logo from Facebook, his logo came
out first before Facebook, and it’s lowercase to reflect Farquaads height. Even though Farquaad was
voiced by John Lithgow who is anything but short, He’s actually over 6 feet tall in real life.
>> Pumba: Ever wonder what those sparkling dots are up there?
>> Donkey: Man that aint nothing but a bunch of little dots.
>> Timon: HAHA!
Who told you something like that? What muke made that up?
There’s references to the Wonderful Wizard of Oz with the wicked witches.
The big bad wolf and the three little pigs and if you remember
one pig built their house out of straw, one out of wood, and one out of brick. Notice their hats?
Then we have Robin Hood and his little men, and this would be little John. The Pied piper which
came back in a future Shrek as a main character. There's also the old woman who lived in a shoe.
Now if there’s a movie you want us to talk about that we haven't already talked about,
then let me know in the comments. And if you ask about some weird crazy movie and I like your idea
and you're the only one that asked about it guess what, you're gonna be the only comment
featured in that video. How cool is that! so until our next adventure gents and gentlets,
remember most importantly of all, share a smile they are contagious.
>> Shrek: End of story! Bye bye! See you later.
>> Donkey: I didn't think you were just a big stupid Oger.
>> Shrek: Yeah I know.
>> Donkey: So uh, are there any donkeys up there?
>> Shrek: Well there's um Gabby the small and annoying.
>> Donkey: Ok I see it now, the big shiny one right there, that one there?
>> Shrek: That's the moon.
>> Donkey: Oh.
