Is shrek 5 even happening?

Dreamworks probably isn’t making Shrek 5, due to no new details at all, making the mentions useless. —Star (talk) 17:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Who knows if they want to keep it a secret, really nobody except the people making Shrek 5. After all, if they canceled the movie we would know that, but Dreamworks haven't said they canceled the movie. -MegaGoat ^Contribs 17:23, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

Maybe once the virus hullabaloo is over and we get into 2021 we'll start hearing something. Still don't understand who the hell asked for a second Croods movie though... MightyArms (talk) 18:23, 17 May 2020 (UTC)

I want somebody to add that Shrek is an often memed individual 66.109.53.196 (talk) 15:42, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

Shrek as an individual is covered in Shrek (character), which already mentions his status in memes in the section Reception and other media appearances Vahurzpu (talk) 00:14, 5 February 2021 (UTC)

New details due to 20th anniversary

Hi fellas. Today, Vicky Jenson did an interview with ComicBook.com about the 20th anniversary of Shrek and shared some details about the film's development. As the page is protected, I can't put them there, but among them, are that Vicky and Andrew break up the film in sequences to work on it concurrently, Eric Darnell pitched the DuLoc dolls scene, Chris Miller did the Magic Mirror's scratch dialogue and was planned to be replaced by a host or comedian beofre it was decided his voice was the right one, Jenson did the voice of Donkey's Owner before being replaced by Elisa Gabrielli, the Chris Farley version of the film involved Shrek wanting to fit in with humans, an scene featuring Shrek's parents kicking him out from their house (I guess that's why the musical included it), how Steven Spielberg nearly caused Mike Myers to change his accent for the film, etc. Here's the link so you can check them: https://comicbook.com/movies/news/shrek-20th-anniversary-director-interview-vicky-jenson/ --- 201.240.244.149 (talk) 22:08, 18 May 2021 (UTC)

A mixed review came from Mark Caro of the Chicago Tribune, who gave the film two and a half stars out of four and compared the film it to Toy Story 2, saying it which he said "had a higher in-jokes/laughs ratio without straining to demonstrate its hipness or to evoke heartfelt emotions". 109.175.155.100 (talk) 14:35, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

Requested move 27 March 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. The majority opposed any move (counting the first reply as well, which did not use an explicit bolded !vote), and one of the supporters only offered partial support. This may be interpreted as "not moved", but there were enough conflicting options (moving a dab page or having the character as the PT) that a future RM may possibly be justified, however it does appear that the sentiment is leaning toward the movie being the primary topic instead of the franchise.

• Shrek → Shrek (film)
• Shrek (franchise) → Shrek

– It will be better to treat the franchise article as the main topic. Once that's done, the categories e.g. Category:Shrek characters will be correctly named as they are. Otherwise, for consistency, they are likely to be speedily moved to the unnecessarily clumsy names Category:Shrek (franchise) characters, etc. – Fayenatic London 20:45, 27 March 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.  ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 07:23, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

I don't see much reason to change/swap the titles. Besides, the original book has an exclamation point even on the book's title itself. XSMan2016 (talk) 02:02, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

• Comment Is there any reason why the character wouldn't be primary instead, similar to Mario and Mario (franchise)? He has become a meme that goes beyond even the franchise itself. (See Shrek fandom), so I'm not sure making the franchise primary would be appropriate in this case. Making the categories "look nice" is not really a valid justification for a page move if the character themselves is more important, though I would absolutely say the franchise should take precedence over the individual film. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:51, 29 March 2023 (UTC)

Oppose - I think the page views analysis does not give us a standout primary topic at the moment. Unsure if Shrek should actually be a disambiguation page today to be honest. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 21:43, 30 March 2023 (UTC)

Oppose As Zxcvbnm points out, making categories look nice is not a reason to move a subject.★Trekker (talk) 15:26, 31 March 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Should it stay as is, should there be a dismbiguation page at Shrek, or should the character be moved here? ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 07:23, 4 April 2023 (UTC)

• Support first, oppose 2nd, move disambig to primary - the page views for the past year bear out that no topic is "more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined" to be sought. Disambiguating all will allow us to thoroughly clean up the wikilinks to ensure none are mixing up the film/character/franchise. If a future comparison points to one being a clearer primary topic, we can revisit it then. -- Netoholic @ 09:43, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
• Support as proposed, oppose disambiguation. The franchise as a whole is a single topic divided into subtopics, not a set of ambiguous topics. Topics named "Shrek" that are unrelated to the franchise are of minimal significance. BD2412 T 01:22, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
• Strong Oppose – A category concern does not make a good move-rationale. Moves are generally based on evidence in RS or on pageviews, and regarding the latter, the pageview count still favors the first film. If we sort by monthly views from Jan 2020 to Dec 2022, Shrek averages 130k views, more than double what the franchise gets at 60k views. For reference, the character article averages 22k views.
  I set the cutoff at Dec 2022, because the recent release of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish likely caused a spike in interest for Shrek 5, which currently redirects to the franchise article. This is also like the 7th move request since 2014, and not much has really changed since then. --GoneIn60 (talk) 06:33, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
• Oppose. The film is clearly the primary topic. Anyone looking for the franchise (a very small minority, I'd imagine) should be placated by a hatnote. Per WP:COMMONNAME and the principle of least surprise. Moving the dab to the base title would be even worse for the same reasons. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:56, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
