i had heard of this movie before in my days of rooting online (hahaha), but i was like, 'meh, it's unfinished, don't really care.' but one day a video from the movie showed up while scrolling through my shorts, and i'm like, 'who is this tack guy?' so i googled him and then i was like, 'oh, the thief and the cobbler, i think i've heard of it before!' and then i decided to see if it was available to watch online, and i decided to watch the original, unfinished, uncut 1992 workprint version (update: it was the recobbled version, but it's so similar to the original that it's basically the same, right?) now, usually when i do something like this i just watch like the first 6 minutes of the movie and then move on. but i decided to watch the whole thing. it was a bit confusing and there were moments where i was like, 'uhhh,' but after a while i started to get it. and then, after finishing it, i was like, 'my god this movie is good.' i watched the mirimax version, and it was pretty good. not as good as the original, and there were some parts that i loathed, but i found it enjoyable.i recently finished the fred calvert version, and it was alright. although nothing can compare to the original, uncut version, the fred calvert at least tried and respected a lot of aspects from the original (yes they made it a freaking musical and made tack talk but tack's voice is alright and they didn't over narrate as much as mirimax.) og: infinity/10. fred calvert: 6.4/10. mirimax: it SHOULD be 3/10, but it's so bad and over narrated that it's actually funny and i kinda enjoyed it
anyways, this fanfic is just gonna be short and probably really bad, but i adore this movie and it's my favorite animated film. basically just about after the movie where tack and yum yum start their married life and have a bunch of kids and stuff. oh yea and the thief will probably get a girlfriend as well. mostly takes after the 1992 workprint/recobbled plot, but the thief talks like the mirimax version. enjoy!
We all have those weird dreams where we fight dragons, dream of a 'happily ever after'...or in my cousin Alice's case; make friends with a unicorn that literally poops edible rainbow candy.
Alice and I, along with our friend Zero, help my aunt and uncle clear out their basement during spring break while they went away for their wedding anniversary.
It all started when I ever so gracefully (but accidentally) tripped over a cupboard box (which in my defence, I never knew was there) with the words: 'Fragile - DO NOT TOUCH', written in black marker all over the box.
While Alice and I were arguing, Zero tried to grab our attention. When he finally did, we were surprised to see him being sucked into a freakin' green swirling portal!
Turns out, inside the box I tripped over had a crystal ball rolled out of it, and glowed a bright green. That was when we realised that that crystal ball, was the reason why a portal appeared and was trying to pull us in.
And of course...I got separated from them, didn't I?
Would you believe me if I told you we entered the world of our favourite movie when we were kids?
You know...the Dreamworks movie, Shrek? The one with the fairy tale and Disney characters in?
Yep, that's the one!
Oh, sorry! I almost forgot to introduce myself: My name's Willow, and this is the story of our journey in the world of Shrek - creating bonds with Shrek himself, Fiona, Donkey and the gang...heck, even Dragon, too!
What could possibly go wrong?
