Shrek the Third | comment |
The third installment in the Shrek tetralogy, Shrek the Third was released in 2007 by DreamWorks Animation, serving as a direct sequel to Shrek 2. This is also marking the first Shrek film distributed by Paramount Pictures after DWA's distribution agreements with Paramount. This would be followed by Shrek Forever After (2010).At King Harold's deathbed, he leaves his throne to the ogre couple, Shrek and Fiona. However, Shrek does not want his father-in-law's crown; aside from not willing to give up his beloved swamp, he also doesn't think he's qualified enough to be a king. With his dying breath, Harold mentions the only other available heir to the kingdom of Far Far Away — Fiona's cousin, Arthur "Artie" Pendragon (Justin Timberlake).Meanwhile, Prince Charming gathers an elite fighting force of fairy tale villains in order to start a rebellion and take over the kingdom. Seeking revenge on the ogre who ruined his happily ever after, Charming gets his followers to track down Shrek while he imprisons his pregnant wife and her friends. | |

Shrek the Third / int_18151657 | comment |
Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony: Shrek, performing one of his duties in his day as stand-in king, attempts to christen a newly made ship via the standard shattering of a wine bottle. Unfortunately, he accidentally pushes the ship off (by leaning against it too hard) before he can finish the ceremony. Desperate, Shrek hurls the champagne bottle at the ship, blowing a hole in it and somehow causing it to burst into flames as it sinks. | |

Shrek the Third / int_222dc873 | comment |
Black Comedy: While rehearsing his lines for the scene in his play where he kills Shrek, Charming (who is going to use a real sword to kill Shrek for real) apparently fatally stabs the guy in the Shrek costume. And so he did with the second guy who jumps in after the first was dragged away, without Charming even noticing it. In a throwaway scene, Shrek himself seemingly accidentally kills a man who he's supposed to be knighting. And then accidentally sinks a ship by throwing a bottle at it too hard. He doesn't just sink it, it somehow accidentally catches fire as well. | |

Short-Lived Leadership: As King Harold is on his deathbed, he asks Shrek and Fiona to succeed him in ruling Far Far Away. Shrek's attempt at being the king, however, failed so horribly that before his death King Harold told him of another remaining heir to the throne, Arthur Pendragon. Shrek, knowing he'd make an awful king, immediately agreed to travel to find Arthur. Meanwhile, Prince Charming and his team of villains stormed Far Far Away, taking it over for the time between Shrek's disappearance and the final fight. | |

"Pan from the Sky" Beginning: Played with. The camera pans down from the boy on the moon in the opening logo, which is covered by storm clouds, dissolving into a stormy sky, which reveals a beam of light. Then it shifts downwards to a forest and descends upon Prince Charming supposedly riding on his valiant steed, until suddenly... The camera slowly zooms out to reveal that he is actually performing in a dinner theatre play with a hobby horse. | |

Gory Discretion Shot: During the knighting ceremony, Shrek accidentally brings the sword down on the man he's supposed to be knighting. This isn't shown onscreen so we don't see where the knight was injured, but judging by Shrek and everyone else's reactions, it's not a pretty sight. | |

Book Ends: The cardboard tower at Charming's dinner theater gig falls and he goes through the window hole. During his staged (and failed) execution of Shrek, the much larger and heavier prop tower falls and actually crushes him. When we first see Shrek and Fiona, they're asleep and just waking up. At the end, they've just gone to sleep. | |

Generational Trauma | |
Shrek the Third / int_53677c0e | comment |
Generational Trauma: It's implied to be a common custom among new ogre parents to try and toughen up their children from an early age so they can survive — this is later expanded in the musical. Shrek tells Arthur that his father attempted to eat him as a child. As a consequence, Shrek is terrified to pass the tradition on to his children, and so he flees to search for a successor to Far Away's throne. | |

Jerkass Has a Point: When Artie decides to bail out of being king when the responsibilities of such a job are (inadvertently) revealed to him, one of Shrek's responses is effectively "Back to what, being a loser?". While these were harsh words and in context Shrek is just giving the kid the job so he doesn't have to do it, he isn't exactly wrong that Artie is still giving up a chance of a lifetime in favor of going back to a place where he was so unpopular even stereotypical nerds bullied him. It’s worth noting that Artie never does provide a real counterfeit to this claim besides the fact, he simply doesn't want the responsibilities laid on him. | |

Parental Bonus: The two birds that perch on Snow White's shoulders just before she sics all the forest animals on the evil trees? They're woodpeckers. To get the gag about the frogs singing "Live and Let Die" at the king's funeral, one needs to a) recognize the theme of a 1973 James Bond film as being a Paul McCartney song and b) also be aware of McCartney's role in the 1984 animated film Rupert and the Frog Song (and associated Frog Chorus single). It's not exactly one for the kids. | |

Humiliation Conga: What Shrek and Fiona have to endure while acting as rulers of Far Far Away. Shrek snarks about Charming's subpar stage performance and singing multiple times, turning the latter into a laughing stock for the audience. Charming eventually snaps and prepares to kill Shrek. | |

Shrek the Third / int_96a2363c | comment |
Bathos: King Harold's death is a tragic moment, but there's still a lot of comedic elements present. First of all, there's the whole scene in itself, with the simple fact that he's a frog. And during this whole time, he gestures with his arms up in the air pretty ecstatic for someone who is dying. He has not one, but two fake-out deaths, not only being jokes about how he evades death for the moment, but also from Puss in Boots having to go back and forth between keeping his hat on and taking it off. During the funeral, not only is the funeral music a James Bond song, but when Harold's "coffin" is viewed from above after being placed in a pond, it's shown that it is a shoe box. | |

Foreshadowing: At the beginning, Prince Charming is performing at the theatre when the cardboard castle comes crashing down, narrowly missing him. And, at the end, Dragon tips over the castle, this time made of bricks, which lands on Prince Charming, presumably killing him. Bird-watchers will be able to anticipate Snow White's intentions for her Friend to All Living Things ability when they notice some of the birds she's calling, as the Evil Tree guards watch in puzzlement, are woodpeckers. | |

Inconvenient Itch: Shrek is trussed up in some very Louis XVI-esque clothing for a royal appearance, and suddenly develops a horrible itch on his rear. He's having that itch scratched by a servant (he's unable to reach it himself thanks to his very restrictive getup) when the curtains open, giving the waiting crowd a view they really didn't want. Hilarity Ensues when his belt buckle pops off, causing Disaster Dominoes. | |

Confusing Multiple Negatives: Pinocchio provides several elaborate examples when Prince Charming demands him to tell him Shrek's location since Pinocchio, of course, can't lie without his ever-extending nose giving him away. Pinocchio tries to twist the truth and worm his way out of the interrogation with convoluted excuses. It seems to be working... until eventually, his baffling multi-negatives frustrate the Three Little Pigs so much that one of them accidentally blurts it out. | |

Epic Fail | |
Shrek the Third / int_b4eff8a8 | comment |
Epic Fail: Shrek's entire reign as king is filled with failures no matter what he does: He apparently accidentally kills a man he is supposed to be knighting. Shrek sinks a ship he is supposed to be launching by accidentally pushing it away from the dock by leaning against it too hard, then he throws the bottle at the ship to break it. He throws it so hard, it breaks a hole in the hull, sinking the ship and then somehow causing the sails to burst into flames. The botched royal presentation is what ultimately causes Shrek to quit being king on the spot: he accidentally gives the audience an unpleasant view of his butt being scratched, his belt pops and knocks Donkey out, Fiona slips on the floor, the castle gets set on fire and Shrek gets a table of food dumped in his face. | |

The boat Shrek, Donkey and Puss are taking to find Arthur seems to crash at Shrek's swamp, much to his joy, but after he is lured into the swamp by Fiona's voice, things take a turn for the worse when it turns out to be filled with Too Many Babies. Also in the beginning with Charming. You can see he's fallen very low since the death of his mother, working as an actor for a dinner theater with no one taking an interest in his performance. Even worse is when they start cheering when an actor dressed as Shrek (who's supposed to be the villain in his play) comes on stage. | |

I Just Want to Be Special: This is the main premise of the entire film. Shrek wasn't the only one who felt this way, all the other villains and Prince Charming felt they weren't special because they never recieved a Happily Ever After. Arthur wanted to stop being seen a loser. Arthur even tells the villains that deep down, what they really wanted was to stop being seen as villains and losers. It turns out they were only villains because they gave into what stories made them out to be. Upon realizing this, they have a Heel–Face Turn, and end up getting their happy ending. Prince Charming, however, didn't get what he wanted. | |

Shrek the Third / int_d14125b9 | comment |
Irritation Nightmare: Shrek's nightmare he has combines this with Anxiety Dreams— it comes from being nervous at the prospect of Fiona being pregnant, but it involves things like babies spitting up a torrent of vomit on him and other gross/annoying things. | |

Law of Inverse Fertility: It is implied in the second film that Shrek very much does not want children.

He later learns from Fiona that she is pregnant with his children and he starts to panic. | |

Running Gag: Prince Charming has a nasty habit of accidentally killing whoever's playing Shrek in his plays or during rehearsals. He completely fails to kill the ogre himself even after a straight shot with a sword which ends up under his armpit without any harm, which ironically is a common location for actors to "stab" someone onstage with a prop. | |
