That Shrek 2 had this effect on me?

My turn to get up with the kids this morning, so 6.30am I decided to put Shrek 2 on while I enjoyed a cup of tea and slowly came round. Haven't seen it for ages and remembered liking it.

During the scene where he's racing to the ball to save Fiona as human Shrek while the fairy godmother sang Holding Out For A Hero, I became a little hot under the collar of my fleecy dressing gown which I don't think was related to the central heating coming on.

AIBU to have impure thoughts about a cartoon character (as long as he doesn't speak with his terrible Scottish accent) while my DH snoozes upstairs?

I might put zootropolis on next time cos I remember getting a little tingle watching Nick Wilde on that, which must be worse cos he's not even human...

Loads of people fancy the Disney Robin Hood fox OP, so you’re not on your own!

Hotzenplotz · 31/01/2021 17:44

Shrek?!

You should check out Wayne Rooney, OP, your eyes would be out on stalks.

OnlyMNcanjudgeme · 31/01/2021 17:52

Can I clarify, I mean HUMAN Shrek, not ogre Shrek!

I can totally understand what you mean when I think of the fox from Robin Hood. That’s wrong isn’t it 😂 I think he’s gorgeous!

Minesril · 31/01/2021 17:58

I absolutely love that scene!

I sometimes find myself wondering who would play Cole in a live action version of Ninjago...

RaisedbySloths · 31/01/2021 18:00

I thought it was just me OP Blush

Sheleg · 31/01/2021 18:03

I've just googled human shrek (never seen the film) and he's HOT!

Afewgoodnames · 31/01/2021 18:03

It's a thing. Mufasa/Adult Simba has been known to give people the tinglies as well Shock. I totally get Nick from Zootopia, everyone loves a snarky anti-hero Blush.

Afewgoodnames · 31/01/2021 18:04

Though human Shrek has got a summing-summing about him too....

Avaganda · 31/01/2021 18:14

I had a bit of a thing for Diego from Ice Age 😳

A friend of mine took her younger cousin to see Lion King and was actually quite alarmed to find herself fancying a cartoon lion! I think it might have been Scar though.

Had to add this! When I googled to find it again I found lots of lookalikes. The lush 'Jim Halpert' was suggested too!

It is a thing OP. I mean Marge Simpson was quite high in the 100 sexiest women for years and on strange celeb crushes the Fox from Disneys Robin Hood crops up a lot, I also know a few women who like Aladin. For me personally it is James from Team Rocket in Pokemon Blush

DaylightSunlight · 31/01/2021 18:37

I loved Mufasa! Can never forget "Scar! Drop him."

< And everybody screams "Whooooooaaaaaaaaaa!!!" >

Although I suppose that's more to do with the voice of James Earl Jones than anything else but it's Mufasa I see Grin

I googled human shrek and I don't know if there's more than one but the one I saw makes me think if Simon Cowell+Piers Morgan had a child.

ClangingChimesofDoom · 31/01/2021 18:42

Guys. Come on now.

Bytheriogrande · 31/01/2021 18:44

Well everyone knows the fox from Disney's Robin hood is FIT. So I think you're fineGrin

Afewgoodnames · 31/01/2021 18:44

Oh dear. Even if it was in anyway possibly, you'd still be barking up the wrong tree there sadly.

I realised quite young that women made me feel the same as blokes, thanks to the cartoon Poison Ivy Blush. Now that was a confusing time Grin.

Ilovemaisie · 31/01/2021 18:44

Snaketime yeah I kinda like James from Team Rocket too Grin
Also I have a bit of a secret thing for Professor Layton (from the Nintendo games).....

OnlyMNcanjudgeme · 31/01/2021 19:41

Thanks for reassuring me I'm not a complete abnormality, I can imagine the stunned silence and tumbleweed if I'd mentioned this to people in real life

OnlyMNcanjudgeme · 31/01/2021 19:43

And I definitely get the appeal of Disney's Robin Hood! You do forget he's a fox when you watch it!

@Hotzenplotz you beat me to the mention of Wayne Rooney.

riotlady · 31/01/2021 19:56

Shang from Mulan was my fave until I found out he was voiced by Donny Osmond... put me off a bit!
