(Archive) Animated movie of the day: Shrek (2001)
Originally posted: January 17th, 2023
Despite my admiration for many of their films, it's no secret I have some quite critical views on Disney, among them their attempt to hegemonize both entertainment as a whole and the popular understanding of classical fairy tales. Which is why a film like this is such a significant moment in animation history: it utterly humiliated them at their own game in the most embarrassing way possible which in turn opened a gamut of possibilities for western animation.
You can rest assured this was born out of spite, mind you: despite being part of the Disney Reinassance of the 90's, Jeffrey Katzenberg's run at the House of the Mouse was quite a mess and ended in decidedly unfriendly terms, so one of the productions lead at his newfounded company Dreamworks was based on the 1990 children's book by William Steig that shared said said views. The hero is anything but handsome, the fairy tale creatures and characters are portrayed in incredibly unflattering ways, and the common tropes associated with the more saccharine interpretations of these tales are lampooned in a decidedly mean spirited way. And it's hilarious. But more importantly… it was kind of needed.
Even beyond the surface level(and some admittedly rather disingenuous) criticisms of Disney, it's disdain for traditional beauty is frankly admirable. It dared to challenge a lot of the harmful superficiality and expectations of normalcy of those films, and as such, of the ideals attached to them. Sure, some of the comedy falls flat on it's crassness and a few of it's parodies are INCREDIBLY dated. But there's a reason why it resonated so strongly with it's generation and survived to be a series of films that still keeps going to this day, with memes that seem to never end. It wasn't just early 2000's edge, it truly had a heart behind the snark.
In the words of William Steig, few years before his death at 95: "It's vulgar, it's disgusting — and I love it!"

Shrek (2001)
Tumblr media
Shrek is a satire that isn’t cynical. If you were to read one of Grimm's fairytales before lights out or to watch any of the classic Disney Animated Princess films, it’d eagerly sit down with you, which gives it an eternal quality of its own. Beyond the hilarious jokes and clever references, we find a terrific buddy film, a love story, and a unique fairytale.
Shrek (voiced by Mike Myers) is an ogre who wants nothing more than to be left alone. When the fairy tale-hating Lord Farquaad (John Lithgow) banishes all magical creatures from his kingdom, they find a new home in Shrek's swamp. The green grump reluctantly buddies up with a talking donkey (voiced by Eddie Murphy) and strikes a deal with Farquaad. If he can rescue Princess Fiona (Cameron Diaz) from the dragon which guards her, Farquaad will help clear the ogre's home.
I only have two criticisms of Shrek. One concerns a joke which was funny at the time and still is but was done so often it feels dated: a spoof on The Matrix. The second is the picture’s overall look. This is a good-looking CG animated comedy. At the time, it was ground-breaking stuff but there are spots where you can tell this was made in 2001. I’m talking about certain human or human-like characters specifically. The key players all look fine and I won’t dock any points. It simply illustrates the pitfalls of new technology. The Disney fairytale films this is riffing still look top-notch even decades later. Blu-ray does Shrek no favors. Even with these considerations, the film deserves 5 stars.
You can tell a film's quality by how memorable it is. For starters, there’s the soundtrack. Smashmouth’s All-Star is a catchy tune. It was popular before (being featured prominently in Mystery Men) but it so perfectly summarizes the film’s tone it’s become immortal now. The cadence and lyrics so don’t fit in a story with a princess waiting for true love, magic and happy endings that it's perfect. The script is dominated by clever gags that fall into three categories: the kind everyone will find funny, the kind only Disney aficionados will spot and the kind only ADULTS will understand (these are some of the best of the bunch). This is a film you appreciate more as you get older, and not only because of the love plot and the way typical rom-com elements are so refreshingly told.
The key to a good punchline is that it's unexpected. That's a great adjective for Shrek. Handsome characters turn out to be villainous, the hero’s sidekick is a talking donkey, and then out of nowhere, you get a genuinely sweet moment. Then BAM! It hits you with a gag that’s a little mean-spirited, maybe a little gross but you'll laugh so hard you might even feel bad about it.
There are tons of details in the backgrounds to keep your eyes bouncing from one corner of the screen to the next. You'll be kept plenty busy counting all the bedtime story creatures and fairytale denizens, spotting subtle gags - way too many for just one viewing. From the inspired casting of Mike Myers and John Lithgow to the writing, the musical choices, characters designs and dialogue, everything you see and hear in Shrek confirms it as an instant favorite. (On Blu-ray, January 11, 2019)

i hate to be the basic bitch i am, but emilia holdoncallfailed, can i request a playlist based around the kind of distorted hauntedness of battery in your leg?
dear anon, i don't think you're a basic bitch but i do suspect you're some kind of emotional masochist based on this request.
spotify + youtube
how do you sleep? — lcd soundsystem [i think this is the closest analog to BIYL due to the distorted hauntedness you described and also being about james murphy's estranged ex-collaborator who was a childhood friend of his.]
jane cum — japanese breakfast
hazel st — deerhunter [h/t gen of course]
i don't smoke — mitski
wish you were dead — scheer
nobody else will be there — the national
don't holdyrbreath (girly-sound version) — liz phair
fillmore jive — pavement
beside myself — fanny
winter song — yoko ono
which will — nick drake
says elliott — sibylle baier
moon over goldsboro — the mountain goats
razor love — neil young [not on spotify unfortch]
railroad boy — the magnetic fields
margaret vs. pauline — neko case
cold apartment — vagabon
1995 — the radio dept.
a worrying thing — yo la tengo
by some miracle — philip selway
comin' back to me — jefferson airplane
BONUS: how do you sleep? — john lennon [far, far more bitter than BIYL but nevertheless probably THE ultimate band breakup song and the obvious inspiration for the lcd soundsystem track. it also features a climactic guitar solo like in BIYL—this one is played by george harrison so it's similar to the blur song in that there is a ghost of the old band within it via guitar solo...something to think about...]

Unindicted War Criminal Henry Kissinger is FINALLY Dead
Fun fact: Kissinger got us out of Vietnam by agreeing to leave behind dozens of captive live Americans. He just crossed them off a “to do” list of what needed to happen before the US left. That’s it.
Washington Post Sept 26 1992:
…“Accusing the [Senate{] committee of "fishing" for "something that could be embarrassing" and "playing with documents" that [Kissinger] said were written by "tired, harried people at the end of the day," Kissinger charged that he and Nixon are "being pilloried in leaks without a shred of evidence, with the unforgivable libel that we knowingly abandoned the very group whose suffering was the biggest single incentive for our exertions."—- Committee Chairman John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) characterized Kissinger's position as, "The best defense is a good offense." He reminded Kissinger that 1973 documents signed by former defense secretary Elliott L. Richardson and former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Adm. Thomas H. Moorer, as well as testimony by Laird and other officials, all referred to prisoners of war believed held in Laos at the time the war ended.l”
