In September of 2023, the world premiere of Shrek 2 Retold was unleashed. The movie has grown and evolved so much since then, and we are so excited to release the final film into the world this year. 💚

Hey! What are your most burning questions about Shrek 2 Retold?
We want to know what is on everyone's mind! We'll reply to some of the best questions in an update video soon! 💚🧅
I am at a complete loss for words. Schaffrillas (James & friends) are all incredibly talented creators and awesome members of the YouTube space. We are all hoping James recovers and we are sending out all of our love and support to everyone affected.💚
I have some very sad, unfortunate news to deliver.
Yesterday, James Phyrillas aka Schaffrillas, his friend Chris Schaffer, and his brother Patrick Phyrillas, were all involved in a car crash in Leigh County.
Chris and Patrick have died, and James is in critical condition.
Here's a little thread to better explain Shrek 2 Retold to anyone who might be unfamiliar, and to talk about some recent exciting developments in the movie's production! 🧵
I know everyone is eager to see this completed, and fear not! Although it definitely won't be ready until 2022, the wait will be well worth it! We are working hard to make this project the absolute best it can be. Thanks for sticking with us ☺️

#shrek2retold
The Shrek 2 Retold team is still working hard on the project! We meet for multiple hours each week, taking a lot of care and effort to ensure the movie is as coherent and epic as possible :)
I figured I could AT LEAST share some screengrabs to show what we have in store! We are not ready to announce a release date for the movie, but I can confidently say that it is on the horizon

@the3GI
are SO PROUD to announce that SHREK 2 RETOLD is at LONG LONG LAST finally completed and live on YouTube RIGHT NOW! Go watch it and tell your friends!!
Happy Thanksgiving from the Shrek 2 Crew! I am thankful for everyone who donated their time and skills to this project ☺️ wouldn't be the same (or even exist) without ya!!
We are continuing to raise the stakes and make the biggest, most complex, and most engaging collaborative film ever. I know I don't post updates here too often, but it's mainly because I don't want to spoil any of the super exiting bits!
Be sure to go watch & support Puss in Boots: The Last Wish! Like every movie out right now, it's fighting for its life right now against Way of Water. (Even with a higher Rotten Tomatoes score, it still hasn't made back its budget yet 😳)
If you are unfamiliar with this style of project, essentially the finished product will play out just like the 2004 DreamWorks movie Shrek 2. The plot, pacing, and characters are all intact, but with a unique twist: the art style shifts at different moments throughout the movie!
Just confirmed with Universal Orlando that Shrek 4D will permanently close January 10, 2022. The adjacent gift shop, Shrek's Ye Olde Souvenir Shoppe, will also close.
Shrek 2 Retold is an upcoming sequel to our mega collab Shrek Retold. Hosted by
@the3GI
and released in 2018, Shrek Retold featured over 200 artists from all over the internet. When it premiered on YouTube it became a viral hit, accumulating nearly 10 MILLION views!
With Shrek 2 Retold, every day I get more and more excited as deadlines get met, more scenes get completed, and more artists join the project 💚 We recently surpassed 600 collaborators, which blows my mind!!!
A big thank you to everyone for being so professional and patient with us as we officially move into our new management and hit the ground running on this project!
This movie wouldn't exist without the passion of so SO many talented people, and that enthusiasm became tangible in the theater. I cannot express how happy I am and how the warmth from the night is still lingering, I hope everyone carries that energy with them into the future!!
I would LOVE to migrate off twt, especially with how much of a dumpster fire it has been recently. But I don't see a solid alternative rn that would help me broadcast information about this movie to the full audience. I will keep posting here until something better comes along.

A few people asked:
Will you ever release the Chris Chan footage?
No! There is a big difference between media that is lost due to neglect vs because the person who made it is an unforgiveable villain. It would be inappropriate to share it, so it will never see the light of day.
@suffrage4dogs
asked:
Will Simon Cowell be making an appearance?
We will not be tackling Far Far Away Idol, but we have some exciting stuff planned instead that we think will make everyone happy 🤫
MANY PEOPLE asked:
When is it coming out?
We don't know! Our personal deadline is Shrekfest 2023, but we wouldn't want to announce an official release date until the entire project is finished!
@Cheesy_Stuff14
asked:
Will Shrek 2 Retold be the final Shrek Retold?
Yes! Or rather, more likely than not! After spending over 4 years on this project, we are all excited to tackle some original ideas (although that doesn't mean Shrek won't come along for the ride)
But it would take a whole separate thread to give a satisfactory explanation. Morah, I know you are already on the project so I would recommend checking out the full vid along with some of the other Shrek 2 Time videos we made for the full answer! (2/2)
I can't sort through all the DM requests and tweets you guys send to me & Grant on here, they get buried easily. Emails keep it much more organized and easier to check back on!😉
MANY PEOPLE asked:
Are there scenes still available/can I join the project?
Short answer is unfortunately no. This project is invite only, and while we do have a wait list that anyone can sign up for, it is hundreds of people long at this point. (1/2)
@MorahBieno
asked:
How was the transition from originally not being head coordinator/really being attached at all to this project to then taking back up the role of being in charge?
This is a SUPER complicated question, and one that we really liked answering. (1/2)
Alexandria Atherton from Facebook asked:
How many people are working on it so far?!?
We recently surpassed 600 contributors and the number is still growing! We are SO happy to be working with such a large number of talented storytellers.
@amblejuice
We talked to creators on an individual basis. If they were done or near-done, we extended an invite to the new project to them. If it was clear they had not made much work on their part, we put them on the wait list.
