shrek 5?

NO! said Demetrios. Let's throw it in the Sun!

.....what did the poor Sun ever do to you to treat it like that?!

...now what exactly did Shrek change that needed changing? It's a parody yes, but did it set some progressive standard?

None that I can think of.

I'd argue it changed things for the worse. Think I'd rather vapid Disney Renaissance ripoffs than crude "we're so edgy but still need to keep things for kids so we're only edgy insofar as we use a lot of toilet humor" films. Still, though, if Shrek wasn't successful, we might never have gotten the Kung Fu Panda films or How to Train Your Dragon.

I wonder if they will retain the original working title, Shrek Pleads the Fifth. Sounds more catchy than the generic "Shrek 5."

Personally, I prefer the other working title of A Fifth of Shrektoven.

Just no, please god no.

Shrek is love, you get the idea.

I mean, this IS the company that's giving the Troll dolls their own theatrical feature, turned Will Smith into a jive-talkin' Uncanny Valley fish and Jerry Seinfeld into a bee, and given their recent streak, critically and box-office wise, anything's up in the air.

Since the most recent film of the franchise Puss in Boots: The Last Wish ended with a Sequel Hook hinting a new Shrek movie, using the thread again might be useful. Do you think Dreamworks might announce a release date this year after the critical and commercial acclaim of The Last Wish?

Maybe. Where are we at in the franchise again? Don't they all have kids and rule the kingdom and everything by now?

Shrek and Fiona have three kids, Donkey and Dragon have a bunch of hybrid abominations. It's unclear how old they are now. Shrek is a celebrity in universe, Arthur is ruling the kingdom of Far Far Away. And Puss'n Boots has been off doing his own thing I guess.

in before Shrek 5 is about Shrek's kids and Shrek himself is Demoted to Extra as the title becomes an artifact

It really is amazing how one really good movie and a lot of time can change people's opinions. The rest of the thread is very adamantly against Shrek 5 while the past few posts are receptive to the idea.

Always did wonder what made Puss distance himself from Shrek and the gang in Last Wish?

I don't mind if it is a good movie. And I never hated the sequels all that much in the first place.

Oh, sorry, I misunderstood then.

Apparently it is now somewhat official: The Illumination CEO and creative partner of DreamWorks said they are negotiating with the original cast for a return to the screen.

I suppose Eddie Murphy may have just been joking in that interview, but the idea of a Donkey spinoff doesn't sound like a good one to me. Donkey is a character that's funny in the right doses, but a full movie around him would probably just get annoying (and not annoying in a funny way like he's supposed to be).

A film about Donkey's backstory before he could talk would be fresh take,and before you ask I have actually thought about it and I have a feeling I know what his backstory involves

..who do we know that that rode a donkey?

So essentially a Donkey spin off would turn out as well as Planet Sheen?

I'm not sure a voiceless Donkey could carry an entire movie.
