Shrek is the massive, green, frightening ogre who married a princess, found friendship and created his family after years of isolation and loneliness. He rose out of the despair that he had originally felt before seeking to save Fiona, but I wanted to know more. How did Shrek get his swamp? Who were his parents? What was his backstory? These are the questions I’m here to answer today.

    Attention everyone, let's start a lyric chain! I'll start SOMEBODY ONCE TOLD ME

    By our standards Shrek's parents were horrible. But remember, they were ogres. That's likely the way they were raised, as were their parents, and the cruelty is to get them used to the harsh treatment they will receive from the outside world.
  • @theodoro3188
    When Shrek brought up the whole onion layer thing, he actually meant the emotional layers within him. While he's a grouchy and ugly ogre on his outer emotional layers, his inner layers are what he really is, a caring, warm, and friendly person who was forced to have a misunderstood life
  • @clownman9184
    In one deleted scene of Shrek, Donkey said someone hurt him so bad years ago, which Shrek responded with “Leave my parents out of this!”
  • @giraffeman326
    Every Shrek movie takes a different twist on love. Shrek 1: Finding love Shrek 2: Maintaining love Shrek 3: Enduring fatherhood Shrek 4: Appreciating family
  • Memes aside, shrek is actually a really good franchies, and one of my favorite movies.
  • @thedoruk6324
    Even the movies've pointed it out Shrek' had an hyperaggressive family; a cankibalistic father; and an entirely 'human' based societhy that absolutely loathes and hates Ogre' species; maybe some for righteous reasons; we never get to look other 'natural' Ogres on the real Shrek universe; except the last movie which was an alternate timeline/reality

    Normies: omg sasuke has the saddest anime backstory Me, an intellectual:
  • @eliasamparan553
    Then later on in Shrek Forever After Fiona: Shrek, you have 3 beautiful children, a wife who loves you, friends who adore you, you have everything. Why is it that the only person who can't see that is you?
  • @Rymar101
    Shrek had a long lonely life before he met Donkey and Fiona. He didn't have a friend in the world growing up, thats awful
  • I think Shrek's parents were a bit abusive because Ogres don't know how they raised their offspring. I also know that Shrek said that his father was trying to eat him. I guess Shrek had to go through a tough childhood before the events of the first movie.
  • @CBandsc
    anyone else extremely uncomfortable by the ogre costumes in the musical
  • @MovieMadness23
    Actually there was going to be a 5th Shrek that would’ve explained how his origins and how he got his swamp but it was scrapped in favor of making the 4th movie the last one (for now at least)
  • So the somebody once told Shrek the world was going to roll him was his parents 😂
  • @whitneyl.1856
    "Only shooting stars break the mold." Was basically Shrek's mindset for most of his life.
  • @Supersaurus4
    This explains so much about why Shrek was so hostile towards people in the first film
