today i talked to a 14 year old who told me they saw “puss and boots” recently and loved it, and they said they had to go see it because they love “shrek.” they were like, “that movie is just iconic.” and i was like, “oh yeah, haha, it came out when i was a kid, so i know what you mean.” and they were like “o_O what?! shrek came out when you were a KID?” and i was like “yeah, i know it’s like retro for teens to like it now, right?” and they were like… “wait, what?!?! SHREK? that movie came out when you were a KID? and you saw it when it came out????? what was that even like!!!” and i was just like “haha well you know it was… well. it was. it was definitely a movie a lot of us watched at that time. shrek.” and the look on their face was like i had just told them i saw the beatles in concert in 1964
they dont know what it was like growing up in the time of the shrek marketing campaigns
