Amy Sedaris And The Ninja Princesses!! More SHREK THE THIRD Voice Casting & Plot Points Revealed!!

wow... by Nerdboy1423	Jul 13th, 2006 09:55:21 AM
I love all those actors, but Shrek 2 contradicted everything Shrek 1 was about from theme to character arcs. This'll be a steaming pile
Eh, they're funny movies by rev_skarekroe	Jul 13th, 2006 09:56:00 AM
Nobody's going to understand them in 20 years, but whatever. They make me laugh.
The kids like it by slone13	Jul 13th, 2006 10:00:53 AM
I had my fill after the first. On a related note, I really wish Mike Meyers would lay off the Scottish accent thing. He needs to do a movie without that fucking Scottish accent. It hasn't been funny since So I Married an Axe Murderer.
Ninja Princesses? by jarodvhale	Jul 13th, 2006 10:01:45 AM
You know they're going to have to rewrite every children's book now....hehehe
But please, no more Counting Crows!!! by Lance Rock	Jul 13th, 2006 10:02:02 AM

First Post Ever...AND FIRST!!! by StarBlitzer	Jul 13th, 2006 10:06:22 AM
This sequel will be a steaming pile like all the rest...enough talking animals already!
it will break records at the BO for sure by mikey mike	Jul 13th, 2006 10:08:57 AM
even it sucks like the 2nd movie which was just a rehash of the brilliant and highly enjoyable first movie
Weird... by StarBlitzer	Jul 13th, 2006 10:09:28 AM
Not only was I not first, but 'steaming pile' was repeated two posts apart on a Shrek TB...coincidence?
Hehe by DonnieDorko	Jul 13th, 2006 10:10:17 AM
I thought the first one was really a great surprise, a good balance of children and a bit more mature humour... An suprisingly good, fun acting from actors that had lost a LOT of credibility as comics and actors. The second one was propably a kinda logical step, but it is a downhill road. I liked the second still but I don't think there is much more to use now or more places to go. So, I don't think no3 will be good.. But I want it to be so I'll probably see it anyway...
I thought the first was great by Varakor	Jul 13th, 2006 10:15:57 AM
only because it parodied so many of the classic fairy tales and was just balls out funny. to me, th ebest of the first was the torture of the gingerbread man. Drowning a cookie in milk? That's funny as hell!! The second was good, it had its share of laughs and I loved the ending (though the whole donkey have kids, just creeps me out with the hybrid dragon donkeys). the third, if they use the formula for the first one, which is full on parody of the fairy tales then I'm in. aahhh screw it I'm in anyway, i love shrek.
Shrek the Turd is a horrible name for a movie by SifoDyasJr.	Jul 13th, 2006 10:17:28 AM

More FART and POOP jokes!!! I can't wait!!!
lol StarBlitzer by brycemonkey	Jul 13th, 2006 10:26:54 AM
Welcome to the TB, it's a tough place. Watch out for that delay, it's a killer.
McShane! He better say something like... by tripp5	Jul 13th, 2006 10:27:25 AM
"That big green cocksucker is going to find himself on the wrong end of a steadfast brain fuck" or some crazy shit like that...or else i wont see this movie...just like i havent seen Shrek 2...actually, i never even finished Shrek 1...but Shrek in 4-D at Universal is awesome
On topic... by brycemonkey	Jul 13th, 2006 10:28:05 AM
I never bothered to see the second one after my friend saw and hated it. Told me to watch the Incredibles instead which seems like good call...
THEY'RE FUNNY IN A COMMITTEE-WRITTEN by Sepulchrave	Jul 13th, 2006 10:29:33 AM
appeal to the widest possible demographic with snide adult sideliners, corporate plugs and pastiches of celebrities. It's like the Simpsons; a bit of funny buried under a wall of self-referential Hollywood slobbering.
Spidey, Shrek 3, and Pirates 3 all in the same month by LilOgre	Jul 13th, 2006 10:30:30 AM
Who will win? The Fans! YEAH! Anyone else think the TRANFORMERS is in trouble, being bookended by RATATOUILLE and HARRY POTTER 5?
Loved Shrek, didn't like 2... by gobofraggleuk	Jul 13th, 2006 10:31:12 AM
This series is primarily about Jeff Katzenberg fucking Disney from every angle he can, just because he had to leave the company. Using Disney characters in a pop ironic way is just tiresome. It's funny for a minute or two, but too wasteful and cynical to be truly original or creative.
Fucking FUNNY Lady Squad by DOGSOUP	Jul 13th, 2006 10:33:08 AM
Is enough to make me see it. Amy Sedaris of Strangers with Candy, Amy Poehler of Upright Citizens Brigade and SNL, Maya Rudolph-the Funniest lady ON SNL, and Cheri Oteri who you KNOW is going to be Narcoleptic. I don't care what you people say I know those four will make me pee a little with laughter.
Fox Force Five? by fiester	Jul 13th, 2006 10:36:36 AM
Amy Sedaris is the funny. In favt, that whole roster of ladies are pretty goddam funny.
I did once hear that ... by ZakChase	Jul 13th, 2006 10:41:35 AM
... that Pan kid sucks cock by choice.
Ian McShane by Evil Hobbit	Jul 13th, 2006 10:58:12 AM
He's one hell of a good actor and now he's voicing Captain Hook. A truly magnificent cocksucker, love it!
Need info on ninjas??!?!? by SmackDaddyBooka	Jul 13th, 2006 11:01:02 AM

Loved Shrek, Abhored Shrek 2. by OBSD	Jul 13th, 2006 11:02:46 AM
The ONLY time I laughed during 2 was when the villagers run screaming out of one Starbucks and run into another Starbucks across the street. THE. ONLY. TIME. And Lewis Black and "Best In Show" already used the "Starbucks across the street from a Starbucks" bit years ago, so it already had whiskers on it when Shrek 2 used it. But it made a billion dollars, so it must be good. Right? Right?
Has the timberlake and diaz union ended and by emeraldboy	Jul 13th, 2006 11:12:41 AM
if so has he been dumped from this film. He was supposed to play prince charming.(pass the sick bucket)

Yes, she
The kids only watch for the slapstick by Terry_1978	Jul 13th, 2006 11:19:01 AM
As every piece of dialogue in these movies are way over their heads. My little cousin just sits and stares when the charcters are making off the cuff remarks and satirical jabs, but when someone gets smacked in the face, har-de-har-har.
In the last 10 years, were there any animated films... by SalvatoreGravano	Jul 13th, 2006 11:21:14 AM
...less amusing but more cretinous and tasteless than the Shreks? Highly doubtful. Even Cars and those Sharkfellas, or whatever its title was, had at least one funny scene...
Dreamworks and Sony by emeraldboy	Jul 13th, 2006 11:22:30 AM
I havent seen cars yet. but from i hear the story might not be much good but that it is visually superior to anything that Dreamworks still put out or anyone else for that matter. I hear that they are cutting back on thier thier live action movies. The only thing that we movie folks care about is quality and i think Disney has at long last realised that quality is better then quantity. Disney it seems to me is restructuring. and that can only mean one thing that eventually Disney will return to kicking Jeffery and rivals asses all over again. I cant wait for that to happen.
Endless pop culture refs by Kentucky Colonel	Jul 13th, 2006 11:23:28 AM
Boy, they can sure date a movie like Shrek. On the other hand, they can make a movie like Clerks timeless. I guess it's all in how you use them...judiciously, like Clerks, or Too Often, like Shrek. I'll still go check it out.
Oooh, boy! by beelkay	Jul 13th, 2006 11:34:14 AM
This sounds great! I loved the first two, and this voice cast will undoubtedly hit it out of the park.
Shrek 2 by Mechasheeva	Jul 13th, 2006 11:37:31 AM
was pointless. The characters had nowhere else to go after the first on and indeed they were taken nowhere. Yeah, it was funny, but . . . meh. Same'll be true for the 3rd one, but I hold out hope for more Banderas, and these new cast members are all ridiculously funny . . . so hopefully it'll be an improvement instead of another cash-in.
You have the cart in front of the horse beelkay... by brycemonkey	Jul 13th, 2006 11:47:25 AM
I don't care about the 'stars' voicing a cartoon, I think they are distracting. It is the writing, story and characters that make or break it.
For example: It shouldn't be... by brycemonkey	Jul 13th, 2006 11:49:34 AM
Look! Eddie Murphy is a talking donkey and Antonio Banderas is a talking cat, how funny!!! It should be what the cat and donkey say and do that should be funny.
Mike Myers. by emeraldboy	Jul 13th, 2006 11:49:38 AM
The stories that I have heard about Mike Myers is that he is an arogant bastard who bullies everyone on the filmsets of his movies. Dana Carvey hated working with myers, because Myers greed as a comic is legendary, look at the second waynes world film. Carvey is virtually banished from that movie, guess who overshadows the whole thing, thats right Mike Myers. The first Austin powers film was very funny. The second movie more then aptly demonstrates Myers overinflated ego. Myers plays 3 characters!!, only Dr evil was funny and verne troyer was the only reason to see that movie. The third film was clumsy, badly structured, the intro was hilarious with all the major stars ie mikes friends putting in a cameo. but then the film slid into a horrible mess, goldmember was a disgutingly crude character as was fat bastard. THESE WERENT FUNNY. Myers believed in his own little world, that liverpool was cool(er, right mike) and that doing a scots accent was a funny as billy connolly. Connolly you may remember mads one joke about kenneth bigley and well we dont hear too much from him these days, garfield 2 is hardly a comeback. point is people think myers is funny and he sure as hell aint all that funny. Move on mike.
hey now! you're a rockstar! by mocky_puppet	Jul 13th, 2006 11:55:43 AM
all that glitters is go-old... only shooting stars break the--someBODY once told me the world was gonna roll me... can we have more of that kind of cool music in this third install ment? that would be sweetness.
Shrek sucks. by Chet Hudson	Jul 13th, 2006 12:01:22 PM
These movies are obnoxious and tedious. Can't stand them. However, Dreamworks hit one out of the park with Over The Hedge.
Oh G-d, here we go again! Another ripoff. by moondoggy2u	Jul 13th, 2006 12:02:27 PM
Dreamworks took one look at Disney's highly successful "Disney Princess" line or whatever the heck its called and decides to make an irreverant copy--err..parody--for their third movie. Since the tweenagers dont give a rip, this movie will probably dethrone Pirates 2, which will be dethroned by Pirates 3, which will be dethroned by Spiderman 3, which still wont topple titanic. Anyway, I really hate Shrek ;^)
Actually, I hated the first and liked the second by Brock Samson	Jul 13th, 2006 12:18:17 PM
The second was somehow less sappy, though I think the franchise as a whole is overrated and that Mike Myers stupid accent is NOT FUNNY. He's used it in every film he's been in since "So I Married an Axe Murderer". I will probably not be seeing Shrek 3.
Sleeping Beauty by bralli	Jul 13th, 2006 12:32:59 PM
...already cameo-ed in Shrek 2...
Beerfest Trailer by BadMrWonka	Jul 13th, 2006 12:37:38 PM
http://tinyurl.com/jm7lk I e-mailed Harry, hopefully he'll get it up soon...(so to speak)
What happened to Cheri Oteri? by CreasyBear	Jul 13th, 2006 12:51:19 PM
She's invited to be with the other SNL ladies (and Sedaris) for this movie, but she never got a proper send-off on the show, and she's the only former SNL star not to have a Best-Of DVD. Did she leave the show on bad terms or something?
I'm an anarchist by Acappellaman	Jul 13th, 2006 12:59:31 PM
I actually enjoyed BOTH Shrek movies. They were both similar in tone and humor. What wasn't to enjoy? I will fully admit that the humor is very dated, and won't make much sense to most people 10-20 years from now who see the movie for the first time. But for now, I think they're fun.
Shrek is great! by DerLanghaarige	Jul 13th, 2006 01:03:34 PM
The whole concept of a fairy tale, that makes fun of the modern world works great, BUT(!!!) I'm not sure, if it will hold up for a third time! Bring on the Puss in Boots-Spin Off!
Ahoy, brycemonkey by StarBlitzer	Jul 13th, 2006 01:21:20 PM
Hopefully I first on the Shrek 4 TB... ...good God, WHY??
Hire David Sedaris instead! by Big Bad Clone	Jul 13th, 2006 01:22:21 PM
Amy will just do an annoying voice. David's voice is already very girly and hilarious.
Didn't Diaz and Timberlake break up? by zerogundamx	Jul 13th, 2006 01:34:05 PM
So why the fuck is that clownshoe from N*Stupid still in this? He was only there because Cameron insisted or she'd walk.
wow, how many people can they shove in there? by quadrupletree	Jul 13th, 2006 01:46:37 PM
I liked the first two, though by the end of the second one it was starting to get old. Seems like every single voice in this is a celeb. I like most of these people but this is starting to sound like a giant flop in the vien of Rat Race.
As a gossip jockey I can tell you that they are by brycemonkey	Jul 13th, 2006 01:48:50 PM
in Paris 'healing' and rumor has it that Diaz is wearing a diamond ring... But yes, that is why he got the gig in the first place.
StarBlitzer: Keep chasing that First! by brycemonkey	Jul 13th, 2006 01:50:53 PM
It is your duty as a TBer ;-)
Yeah, I hated the first movie, liked the second. by Yamato	Jul 13th, 2006 02:13:18 PM
The first movie was like a machine gun of pop culture references. Plus, I cant stand the Donkey. Puss saved the second movie.
David Sedaris indeed! by Doggus47	Jul 13th, 2006 02:19:38 PM
Big Bad Clone is right. David Sedaris should have a big role in this film, bring in Ira Glass and Sarah Vowell also. I would love to see a Pixar movie voiced by This American Life personalities. It could be a wacky adventure of all the furniture in a psychiatrists office, with Ira voicing the couch.
These movies are hilarious! by jollysleeve	Jul 13th, 2006 02:31:33 PM
They break ALL THE RULES! They take all the same tired fairy tale cliches that we're all too familiar with, and then they STAND THEM ON THEIR EAR! They deconstruct them right before our disbelieving eyes, and then put them back together again into something wonderful! IRREVERANT IN THE EXTREME! Absolutely brilliant send-ups of all the quirks and foibles of our modern society! They turn the mirror back on ourselves and do we like what we see? I can't tell you because it's too hard to see anything through all these tears of laughter!
I knew about this already! by Anna Valerious	Jul 13th, 2006 03:13:01 PM
Who doesn't want to ditch a metrosexual basketcase like Prince Charming?
Shrek Sucks Ass by The Ender	Jul 13th, 2006 03:26:06 PM
Why do we need Michael Meyers to sloppily imersonate an accent for a green european Ogre? He sounds like a complete moron. The jokes are obvious and boring. Never made it to Shrek 2, the first one sucked hard enough
Jollysleeve tell me you were being facetious... by The Ender	Jul 13th, 2006 03:26:59 PM

Yes, yes I was. by jollysleeve	Jul 13th, 2006 03:49:11 PM

What happened to Mike Myers? by rbatty024	Jul 13th, 2006 03:56:28 PM
The Cat in the Hat? WTF! It seems like every franchise he's in has a good beginning but is killed by terrible sequels. You can only make crappy sequels for so long until the public finally wises up. Won't they?
Hate to admit it, but I like the Counting Crows song. by minderbinder	Jul 13th, 2006 04:34:24 PM
Hey, it's a good song, way better than the millionth movie use of "all star". And the montage it's over is damn funny. I guess I'm one of the few geeks willing to admit I liked both movies, completely shallow and stupid, but they made me laugh. I about fucking died when they had the giant gingerbread monster. Don't know why, but it made me laugh and laugh. So is anyone else a little disappointed they didn't just get Tom Waits to do Hook? That IS what he sounds like in the second movie, although I think he does another song by someone else as well.
haha he said BO by washisdead	Jul 13th, 2006 05:13:26 PM

my thoughts on the shrek flicks.... by jig98	Jul 13th, 2006 05:18:44 PM
yes. they are overrated,obvious,cheesy at times, tiresome by a certain point,filled with FAR too many celeb voices{so was almost every single simpsons episode in the 1st 11 years} and a pop culture reference, pun and in-joke filled computer animated saga...no, they don't suck. and yeah, also interesting promotional tie-ins to go with them. the animation is good looking, the voice acting is perfect, the stories have been told many times before in live action movies and they have new messages, chuckles and ideas. that's pretty much it. i have mentioned this in dozens of other talkbacks as well, the 1st shrek is somewhat of a masterpiece, therefore deserved the 1st animated oscar and the second just wasn't that great but the animation was an improvement and the charectors also got a personality upgrade, with the addition of pussy in boots. so if there is anything to say about the 3rd movie is 4 little words. "hope for the best".
minderbender, "all star "was used 5 times... by jig98	Jul 13th, 2006 05:20:59 PM
in movies. not a million. it was PLAYED ON THE RADIO a million times.
Beating A Dead Horse? by MarkoOhNo	Jul 13th, 2006 05:59:13 PM
Not a dead donkey? I'm lookin forward to it. Haven't seen enough outta Mike Meyers in awhile. He should do more stuff like So I Married An Axe Murderer. (No, not a sequel, just something in a similar vein.) That flick's gotta be some of his best work...! ("Ohhh I hated The Colonel with his wee BEADY eyes! And that smug look on his face, 'Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhohhhohhh!" "Dad, how can you hate 'The Colonel'?" "Because he puts an addicitive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, SMARTASS!!" LOL)
No by spectrebeeyatch	Jul 13th, 2006 07:14:43 PM
Simply no Shrek is horrible, why get kicked in the nuts a third time? What a shitty movie during a glorious summer SP3, POTC: WE, HP5, Transformers, fuck me Fantastic Four and Silver bald guy will be better than Shrek 3!!! Hell AVP2: Red State Rampage will be better than Shrek 3
NO JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!!! NOoooooooooooooooo by wolack22	Jul 13th, 2006 10:48:25 PM
Fuck that wimpy skinny little kid and his attitude. He'd be a good princess sister to fiona... but not king arthur. Seriously, your giving this guy more testosterone then he deserves.
So someone prefers Smash Mouth over Counting Crows? by ribbitking	Jul 14th, 2006 06:11:39 AM
While i agree the crows song is trite, ...it was written that way, and they've done many different styles of songs for many different flix. But seriously... smash mouth? or was it chumbawumba.....
Damn, jollysleeve... by StarBlitzer	Jul 14th, 2006 07:03:11 AM
Now I have tears of laughter too! ^_^
Even 5 uses of a recent song in movies is WAY too many. by minderbinder	Jul 14th, 2006 01:19:22 PM
I guess it just seemed like a million.
NO SHREK 3!!! NOooooooooooooooooo by finky089	Jul 14th, 2006 02:17:30 PM
But, I guess it's too late to stop it now. Timberlake and all.
