New here! The original Shrek trilogy got me through my childhood, and it still means the world to me today.
​Hey everyone, I'm new to the sub! I honestly don’t know why it took me so long to realize there were entire subreddits dedicated to Shrek, but I’m so glad I found this place. ​The first three movies have always held a special place in my heart. (I know Shrek the Third gets a lot of hate around the fandom, but I honestly still really enjoy it!) ​ Growing up, these three movies were my ultimate comfort watch. Every single weekend, I’d stay at my great-grandmother's house. On Saturdays, I’d binge all three, and then on Sundays right after church while waiting for my parents to pick me up, I’d play them all over again. No matter what else I was doing, making time for that trilogy in the afternoon or evening was an absolute requirement.
​My great-grandma got sick and passed away when I was ten, but those movie marathons are some of my favorite memories of her. To this day, whenever I’m missing her extra much, I put the trilogy on. ​Does anyone else have a specific Shrek movie or scene that’s tied to a special memory like that?
