There are movies and franchises so rich in diverse, well-presented, and well-developed characters that they inspire me to focus on some of them because they offer so much to discuss within the genre in which their stories unfold. The thing is, I’m not referring to the main characters; I’m talking about those fleeting characters who appear on screen for such a brief moment but shine forever in our minds—in those few seconds they’re there, delivering such witty lines and, in this case, showing so much personality 💋💋
Doris the Ugly Stepsister is a character from the Shrek franchise who fits this description perfectly. She has only a fleeting moment on screen, but I’m sure that when you see her in the thumbnail, many of you will immediately recognize her and recall her vividly in your memories, thanks to her famous scene in the movie Shrek 2
This franchise is charming because of how it positively and naturally reimagines characters from classic stories and shapes them in a very unique comedic style. Doris is a perfect example of what Shrek is all about as a project, and in fact, I hope the next installment gives us a little more of Doris—it would be a pleasant surprise, though I doubt it would top her appearance in Shrek 2 😜😜
Hay peliculas y franquicias tan ricas en personajes variados, bien presentados y desarrollados los cuales me animan a enfocarme en alguno de ellos porque dan mucho para hablar en el genero que se desarrollan sus historias, el detalle es que no me refiero a protagonistas, hablo de esos personajes fugaces, que duran tan poco en pantalla pero brillan eternamente en nuestras mentes con esos pocos segundos que duran diciendo dialogos tan ingeniosos y en este caso con mucha personalidad 💋💋
Doris The Ugly StepSister es un personaje de la franquicia Shrek que encaja perfectamente con lo anterior, tiene un momento fugaz en pantalla pero estoy seguro que al verla en la miniatura, muchos inmediatamente la reconoceran y recordaran de manera intacta en sus memorias, por su puesta en escena celebre en el film Shrek 2
Esta franquicia encanta por como deforma de manera positiva y no forzada a los personajes de historias clasicas y los moldea en un tono comico muy singular, Doris es un ejemplo perfecto de lo que es Shrek como proyecto y de hecho, espero en la proxima entrega se nos de un poco mas de Doris, seria una grata sorpresa aunque dudo supere su presentacion en Shrek 2 😜😜
Here’s a video of me doing a lighthearted impression of Doris. In English I did the best I could haha 😅😅, but in Spanish my impression is perfect 😜😜👍🏻
Check it out and have some fun with this great addition to the review. I want to highlight two things in particular, I was really surprised to see that Larry King voices Doris, I’m not American, but I know about Larry—he’s very famous, and I know who he is. So seeing him give Doris that raspy, masculine voice that contrasts with how feminine the character wants to be… is just hilarious haha 😂😂
In fact, I’d never heard the movie in English before—I’ve always watched it in Spanish And if you’re American, give the Latin American dub of Doris by Mario Arvizu a chance; in your mind, you’ll know what she’s saying, and I’m sure it’ll win you over.
The Mexican element adds a lot to the franchise, enriching it with colloquial expressions from that country—which, in this case, I think is a great choice, like using the term “Papucho” 💋💋
Les comparto un video de mi haciendo una ligera imitacion de Doris, en ingles hice lo mejor que pude jaja 😅😅 pero en español mi interpretacion es perfecta 😜😜👍🏻
Vean y diviertanse con ese gran complemento a la reseña, justo de alli quiero resaltar dos elementos, me sorprendio mucho ver que Larry King da la voz a Doris, no soy americano pero se de Larry, el es muy famoso y se quien es. Entonces el ver que le da a Doris ese tono rasposo de voz tan varonil que contrasta con lo femenina que quiere ser el personaje.... es simplemente hilarante jaja 😂😂
De hecho nunca habia escuchado la pelicula en ingles, en mi caso siempre la he escuchado en español y si eres americano, dale una oportunidad al doblaje latino de Doris por parte de Mario Arvizu, en tu mente sabes lo que ella dice y estoy seguro te conquistara.
La parte mexicana aporta mucho a la franquicia, la enriquece con sus ocurrencias coloquiales de ese pais las cuales en este caso me parecen un gran acierto al usar el termino "Papucho" 💋💋
Take a look at how significant Doris is in Shrek 2 in terms of how naturally things are portrayed—she’s essentially a transgender character and has a positive impact on the movie. We all love her; her personality makes us laugh, and the storytelling feels natural. In fact, it’s a shame to me that Shrek doesn’t make more of this character, who I think—along with the rest of the princesses—has a lot to offer in a spin-off.
This point is objectively valid, since we’re currently living in a time when gender trends are all the rage. Doris is there to teach us a lesson on how to introduce these characters so they’re well-received—ensuring that, narratively speaking, the opposite effect isn’t created. I believe stories have well-established conventions that must be respected; if something doesn’t fit, it just doesn’t work.
Shrek 2, despite being a children’s film, gave us a master class—without even meaning to haha—on how to incorporate the kind of diversity that genuinely enriches a story. She isn’t the protagonist, but in just a few seconds, she became legendary and beloved by every generation.
Because of this, we as an audience accept her, embrace her, and love our dear Doris and her charming, masculine-sounding female voice 💋💋
Fijense la trascendencia de Doris en Shrek 2 con respecto a la naturalidad de las cosas, ella basicamente es un personaje Trans y marco positivamente la pelicula, todos la queremos, nos hace reir su forma de ser, la narrativa es natural y de hecho me da pesar es que Shrek no explote mas el personaje que pienso junto al resto de princesas tiene mucho para dar en SpinOff.
Lo anterior es objetivamente valido ya que vivimos en un momento actual de modas con respecto a los generos, entonces alli esta Doris para dar una leccion de como introducir estos personajes para que sean bien recibidos, que en terminos narrativos no se genere el efecto contrario porque pienso las historias tienen sus cosas a respetar bien Establecidas en las cuales si algo no va pues no va.
Shrek 2 siendo un producto infantil nos dio clase magistral, sin querer hacerlo jaja, de como incluir variedad de tipo inclusion que nutra genuinamente una historia, no es protagonista pero con solo unos segundos paso a ser legendaria y generacionalmente querida por todos.
Al ser asi, nosotros como audiencia la aceptamos, la abrazamos y la queremos a nuestra buena Doris y su voz de femina varonil encantadora 💋💋
I dedicate each and every one of my posts and videos to my little dog named princess, we called her chiquito, she is no longer with us but from heaven she will see that her existence was valuable and the most beautiful thing that will exist in my heart and soul.
