Older model shrek?

[kikithecoolgamer · 9/10 · 21 December 2022]

It's hard to think this could have been the model for shrek possibly... oh my god would the film be scary.

As a child I would have had nightmares just seeing that face.. I'm so glad dreamworks and the creator of shrek came up with a different more attractive design for him. The modern Shrek is so much better then this monstrosity of a design.

It looks like a late 1990s ugly video game boss, it's interesting to see this test film before the release of Shrek 6 years later. It isn't a bad animation for it's time though, it would have been hard to rig.

I'm happy this lost media was found again though.

Interesting!!

Best movie ever

[totally-not-jack · 10/10 · 20 October 2023]

I love this movie. I symphasized with Shrek. I feel in love with Shrek. The main character is Green and so am I. I love the attention to detail, like the prince in the background who shone like deer in headlights. I love how the beautiful prince stood highly and lovingly. He is truly the meanest person in the whole of shrekland. I experienced the highs and lows of his beautiful love life. I truly hope that I was in the movie so I can experience love like he did. This is a cinematic masterpiece that everyone should watch. Though only a minute long, it was an amazing film that I'd love to watch again. The.

The first Shrek animation

[Rectangular_businessman · 26 November 2023]

This is an early footage from the first Shrek movie while it was still in development, with Chris Farley instead of Mike Myers playing the role of the green ogre.

Now, I know very well CGI in the nineties had its technical limitations, and maybe for its time it was an impressive feat, but I have to say this version of Shrek is absolutely hideous-looking.

I guess it fits the message from the first movie, about not judging by appearances. But in all honesty, the storyboard art has way more charm, which makes me believe this Shrek would have been much better as a traditional animated film rather than a CGI one.

Shrek was also quite ugly in the original book by William Steig, but the illustrations still had a certain charm that does not translate well into a more realistic aesthetic.

Still, an interesting find. Is also interesting to know that Shrek apparently started as much "edgier", low budget film before becoming such a cultural phenomenon from the early 2000s.
