Greetings
and thank you for clicking to read this as some of you may be going the what the ??? Now I have watched Shrek over the years and have it on dvd and never noticed this till about a week ago when I watched Shrek again. I watched again to make sure did I see what I thought I did ?
The original Shrek is on netflix along with the fourth
The kill off the mama bear from goldilocks and the three bears. The first time you see the three bears there in
two cages as our villain`s army is rounding up all the fairytale creatures and sending them away. You mom and dad bear in one and baby bear in another. Also you see momma bear with a bow in her hair. Now fast forward to Shrek`s swamp. Were all the fairytale creatures are and
see witch riding there broomsticks and so on.In the scene also is a papa bear hugging and looks to be trying to console baby bear.Who looks to be terribly upset .Understanding so. Missing is momma bear. Now that is important. We fast forward more to Lord Farquaad`s bedroom.As the camera is panning in you see what looks to be a dead bear as a bearskin run who happen to be wearing same color hair bow as momma bear in the fairy creature roundup. Theses are the same people who didn`t like a verse in the song Hallelujah. So they changed it
one of producers talks about this in the documentary about Leonard Cohen{who wrote the song}that the verse wasn`t appropriate yet again you kill off a fairytale character for what ? I mean this is suppose to be a kids movie after all. I did show this to someone yesterday.
Needless to say they were like ummm umm a bit shocked and surprised and then said I missed that .
Here is version of Hallelujah

people think.
I have noticed that well-made animated stuff that appeals to kids contains stuff their parents will laugh at as well.The adults bought tickets for themselves as well as for their kids. Aim some of the humor at the adults.
It is far too easy to re-interpret lyrics from past years. I get it. Deconstructionism is alive and well.That said, I've not seen Shrek. But honestly, I could not get past Shrek's "I heard there was a secret chord" before clicking out. Hallelujah is a masterpiece. IMHO not one word or note of it should be altered... ever. If someone wants to say something else, they should write another song and leave this one alone.
But that's just me.
Disney has some of the worst but they've been hiding this 'shit' in these cartoons since black and white.Go look up what Pinocchio is actually all about. It's child trafficking.
I've seen some pretty shocking things in cartoons.
like Dr Bendover snapping on a rubber glove as the door shuts with a kid inside
How is that any different than bugs bunny and wile e coyote?
I've seen that, some of the kids cartoons are disturbing in general, if you analyze them from an adult eye.Of course, I grew up on The Muppet Movie... Seriously,the innuendo in there is kinda shocking.
