If you have any knowledge of Skrek you know that all different fairy tale characters are in it and this holds true for Shrek 2. When producing a movie of this sort wouldn't you want to insert one of the greatest and now very popluar fairy tale drama...well yes and they did. In Shrek 2 I noticed LotR stuff right away. First was Feona's wedding ring, it was a gold band with fiery writing (says something like "I love you"). Second was that the Poison Apple pub reminded me of the Prancing Pony and when you first meet Puss in Boots he is a shadowy character in a corner like Strider. Also one of the pub scenes Ents are present. Thirdly and this one is a tad far fetched but the view of the Far Far Away castle looked a bit like Minas Tirith, close up it is not desgned that way though.
Who else noticed these things?

Love the way you spelled Fiona, lol! Add an R and rearrange the letters and you got yourself a dead Noldor king  Anyway, I didn't think about the Puss in Boots thing, but I did catch the wedding ring. I'm legally blind, so I don't catch every visual gag in a fast-paced movie. Oh, and I agree about Donkey, lol!

Make sure you look for the Ents in the pub too!
With names you can spell them almost any way and I didn't pay attention in the credits to see how they spelt her name, but I do tend to lean to spelling things in the least common fashion (I did so with both of my boys names). I must of had Feanor in my unconsciousness when I was crossing Shrek and LotR!!! LOL!!!

I've never watched either Shrek or Shrek 2, but now you've piqued my curiosity. I think I'm going to rent them, lol!

These are pictures I took with my digital camera of the TV screen (I paused the scenes I wanted). They are not great and the Puss in Boots one is not good at all, but I am still posting it. The Ring wedding band Far Far Away Castle looks like minas Tirth from far far away Bar trees are Ents Puss in Boots in dark corner like Strider Good-looking Donkey struts his stuff like Shadowfax While watching the movie a second time I noticed that they have Shrek riding the "good looking donkey" without saddle or rein sort of how Gandalf rides Shadowfax... |
