The best movie Dreamworks has ever made.
Oh hello! It's me
yeah
2 > 1 > 3
How did this happen when 2 and 3's director was the same one? 3 was absolutely mediocre on all aspects
megamind.
I'm more of a Shrek guy personally
Wait I thought it was 1 and 2 that had the same director and 3 was the one with a different director.
based
Me too. Shrek 2 was a perfect sequel. It was even better than the first movie in some ways.
The Soundtrack was unforgettable.

>Second half is unappealing because of the lack of visibility
>Humor is worse
OG film was better. Po becoming a warrior and earning Shifu's respect was more compelling that him getting told his backstory by a random toothsayer
The great thing about 1 is realizing it wasn't about Po's journey but it was more about Shifu. You very rarely see a story from the masters perspective.
You forgot the 2
I don't remember a panda in Road to el Dorado
1 was directed by John Stevenson/Mark Osborne while 2 and 3 was directed by Jennifer Yuh Nelson
that makes me wonder if we'll eventually get a movie with a now ancient Po training the new dragon warrior
I mean wasn't that sort of the idea of 3? Him teaching the other pandas.
for me, Its Megamind
dreamworks > pixar
I even genuinely like 3 still, it!s a sweet film, but I agree. 2 is so fucking good.
Sure but I want to see Po, of all people, trying his very best to sound like the font of ancient wisdom infront of a brash young martial artist
I liked J Kai Simmons a lot.
This.
This fucking sequence cracks me everytime, a shame they shat the bed with the third movie.
Based and evil-pilled
Kai was such wasted potential
Tai Fu cross over when
Yep. 1's story was also written by Ethan Reiff and Cyrus Voris, who didn't return for the sequels
Great film, but i wish it wasn't made by the PDI branch. Their character animation is simply too stiff. Glendale branch is better ( they did KFP and HTTYD )
Shrek 3 was peak soulless. Even the character animation was a downgrade ( 2 had James Baxter as one of the supervising animators, so it looked better )
The third and fourth ones weren't too bad. To me, they were just mediocre compared to the first and second one.
thats a matter of direction
Shame how people forget how brilliant Shrek was because of the sequels, which were all inferior. OG film is the perfect combination of edge and heart, yet Dreamworks was never able to recapture that mix
Glendale branch was the one which did the hand drawn films like PoE and Dorado. Plus, all of their members came from Amblimation ( Fievel Goes West, We're Back and Balto ) They're all 2D alumni
PDI waa just a visual effects company, so their stabs at CG were more stiff and not as authentic. Even when they tried to aim for bouncy animation, like in Madagascar, it still looked off and fake
I used to think that because of pic related, but looking back I think 1 is overall better
