The only other good Eddie Murphy film that you have not covered that I can think of are Beverly Hills Cop 2

Teyon Alexander

Shrek, a 30 page picture book published in 1990 by William Steig was dramatically different from the film but the film did a great job with the property. The fact they managed to extend it to as many films and spin-offs a they have is amazing to me. So one of the big things about this film was that everyone was kind of tired of the songs in animated movies because they just ate time and didn’t really contribute to the story. Dreamworks decided that it’d be funny to have every song interrupted in some way as a push back against the idea you need songs in these films and they were right.

Shrek is an actual cultural corner stone of my generation. It absolutely broke new ground, in terms of tone, comedy, soundtrack ... and it came pretty much out of nowhere. Part 2 is definitely worth watching. It might even be better than the first. The others are pretty hit and miss, I think. Oh, also ... Shrek is love. Shrek is life.

Jeff K

If you want one of the best later-era Eddie movies (I mean, it’s from 1999 but that’s also around the time his career started tanking), highly recommend Bowfinger. He absolutely should have gotten a best supporting actor nomination but the academy apparently hates comedies.

Jason Pratt

I loved the Chandler Bing opening. I dig Shrek 2 more than the original, definitely worth checking out.

Robiks

didn't know it was a book, read it, it's very bad, great movies tho'

VisualHigh

The muffin man is an old English nursery rhyme, the joke was that they were essentially saying the lyrics during their conversation. Never heard of the murderer thing though.

Robiks

So Shrek being based on the wrestler is a thing that is occasionally reposted on Reddit but has never been proven and is mostly based on ''he's ugly and kinda looks like him''.

Rachel W

Disneyland is in California, Disneyworld is in Florida. Go to Disneyland, it's awesome. It's actually pretty reasonable given how much you get for entry. There's no way not to have a blast. They have booze, too.

R. Chang

Shrek 2 and Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish are both very good. I'd actually recommend skipping the rest. You're not missing anything.

Odd Thomas

For more John Lithgow scene-chewing villainy, check out Cliffhangar with Sylvester Stallone. Raising Cain is another one.

overdev

agreed those are pretty much the best movies by far in the entire francise

overdev

the first one is okay but the second one is soooo much better. yes the songs in this one are good but doesn't fit too well to the scene and also the lyrics dont enhance what happening, which is much better handled in Shrek 2 Puss in Boots 1 is also just okay but the second one holy lord that was my favorite movie of the year

Jim Howe

Disneyland is also in Paris, been a while since I've been but I'd still recommend it.

overdev

to be honest it's pretty standard for voice actors to recording whole movies and shows on their own, they switched to that in the early 2000s as far as I know. production is much more flexible like that

Rob Church

What happened to the The Mist reaction from the last poll?

Jeff K

Lithgow is a great actor but my god, I’m not sure anyone has ever done as much villain over-acting as he did in Cliffhanger. That whole performance is just BONKERS.

Gary Fixler

I think I found a blooper. In the final dance number, the fairy godmother turns an onion and the three blind mice into a stagecoach, driven by 2 blind horses and blind stagecoach driver. A few cuts later, the 3 blind mice are dancing on the keys of a piano.

Orangeplum

IDK if you knew this but Chris Farley voiced Shrek originally until he passed away suddenly and they had Mike Meyer's voice him. He almost completed the film before he died You can find brief clips of the OG Chris Farley Shrek and let me tell you, it's so surreal, now associating Shrek so much with Mike

Jordan Kenyon

The 2nd Shrek in my opinion (and many others as well) is almost if not better than the 1st! The 3rd one I feel like is the weakest of the four, but it still has its moments. The 4th one isn't as bad as some say it is. Now the Puss in Boots movies, the 1st is alright, but second one, The Last Wish, is honest to god PHENOMENAL!!

Michael Grooms

Eddie Murphy's career died in 2002 when he made three of the worst movies of his career back to back to back. They were Showtime, Adventures of Pluto Nash, and ISpy. That's when Hollywood knew he wasn't a marketable star anymore.

Don't worry Donkey, you don't need therapy. Just talk it out with your boy Shrek or someone that cares about you. You don't need to waste your money on some quack who pretends to care about what you have to say. Surround yourself with people that love and care about you, you'll find that's all the therapy you'll ever need.

Doug Shore

#3 is skippable, #4 is optional (not the best, not the worst)

TokyoLopez

what’s with all the haters, geez if you’re expecting a cinematic masterpiece go watch a film, this is a funny silly animated movie, acting as if the plots of the shrek movies are supposed to line up with the godfather, the shrek movies are supposed to be a fun waste of time

HeyHeyJK

A lot of times it's just a logistical advantage to have actors do their voice work solo, rather than have to find dates & times for all the cast to be available and in the same location. It really depends. With technology now, however, it's so much easier to even record actors in their homes, sometimes, so no one has to even go to a sound recording facility. I love how Wes Anderson recorded voices for "The Fantastic Mr. Fox" where the actors actually acted out their scenes, sometimes running or rolling around outside in fields, etc., and they recorded the audio during. I think Spike Jonze did something similar for "Where the Wild Things Are".

The character Pee Wee Herman also has a star on the Walk of Fame, instead of Paul Reubens.

Lachlan Caldwell

George commenting on his terrible singing led me to one inevitable, inescapable idea: DRUNKEN KAREOKE - Cinebinge Edition! Coming soon, to a YouTube channel near you. 😁

Matthew Doherty

Neither of you has been to Disneyland/Disney World?! Come down to Florida I'll take you both to Disney World.

Kangdarius

I would say the downslide of Eddie Murphy films started at the nutty professor 2. Which is the one jack black was parodying. The films of his that are good y’all could watch are: Harlem nights, boomerang, vampire in Brooklyn, nutty professor (only the first, second is awful), life (one of my favorites), dreamgirls, and dolemite is my name. Bowfinger isn’t one I personally think is that funny but it’s one of his higher rated films post nutty professor.

Gary Trousdale

A couple things. You commented on how the actor’s voice sessions were mostly solo, not interacting with each other. That’s pretty much the standard for the industry, and shows the magic of editing, voice direction and filmmaking. Some smaller studios manage group sessions partly to save money on studio time, partly the time crunch they’re always in, and partly because regular voice over actors are easier to schedule. About the only time big studios do it is for PR and marketing, so they can have a flashy “behind the scenes” special with a bunch of sexy movie stars mugging for the cameras (that are never there under normal circumstances) and the studio execs can get screen time with them as proof that they are filmmaking geniuses. The other thing…this will sound stupid, but while Shrek 3&4 aren’t great (they certainly have moments, but aren’t great), #2 is good and defying all logic, a couple of the Shrek holiday TV specials are fun (IMO). They would be Shrek the Halls and Scared Shrekless. If you want to watch the Puss and Boots movies, fine, but those are crossovers and not actually Shrek movies. They’re good though. Just not Shrek movies.
